I think you're barking up the wrong tree here.

What a tease. Please pleasantly surprise me! :)

Wouldn't that be nice. I've been party and witness to enough misunderstandings to know that this is far from universally true, even for people like me who are more primed than average to spot missing context.

What you describe sounds like the late nineties to me, not what we had with the technology of (at most) 1990. There are orders of magnitude between available performance and memory on both ends of this decade.

That comment you're complaining about is a useful signal for me who only watches zig from the far periphery. I feel like I'm getting good mileage out of it, just like I do from other, different ones. I'm glad it's in the

Text editors are for cleaning up after the agents, of course. And for crafting beautiful metaprompt files to be used by the agentic prompt-crafter intelligences that mind the grunt agents. And also for coding.

The way you phrased it reads very much like you started an argument about definitions. I think requiring the title of dictator is not how the term is being used these days, on our side of the late Roman republic. It's more of a duck-ty

> The number of persons that have and will ever live is countably infinite I don't think you can say that their number is infinite. Countable, yes. But there is no rule that new people will keep spawning.

To me, the current AI boom is more like when McDonald's became available in my neck of the woods after '89. Amazing at first, but then you realize it's mostly sloppy grease that has its uses. The wild technology race of the 9

Pressing a refund button is not why engineering gets involved. It's the cleanup of the related data, metadata and automatically generated documents, because these are not consistent anymore. Of course you can automate that, or make at

It sounds like a good way to make sure you don't overcharge your customers when handling such requests at scale. Failure and duplication will happen, and when serving enough requests will happen often enough to occupy engineering with

Don't mix up UX with UI. The experience is not the interface, but how you accomplish what you set out to do. Unobtrusive UI that helps you get things done is what part of the experience should be.

You can ask Django to show you what exact SQL will run for a migration using `manage.py sqlmigrate`. You can run raw SQL in a Django migration. You can even substitute your SQL for otherwise autogenerated operations using `SeparateDatabase

Ok, that's a bummer. Here's a silly idea that is probably not new to you, but just in case: have you looked into refillable deodorant dispensers?

Don't be sad. One step at a time. One more trip-end to connect to other trip-ends. Or do you want to wait with roll-out until the whole world is ready to do it at the same time? Always look on the bright side of life. :)

I'd like to add to my sibling comments that this blog's design is so atrocious for its readability that it deserves to be called out. In fact, I'd like for such a comment to be at the top here, so that I can decide to avoid f

Well-deserved criticism. The colors, too. Without reader mode, this is the equivalent of someone shining a high beam into your eyes at night while trying to communicate with you. This is the kind of thing I click away from unless there&#x27

Coming back at this with a fresh mind, whoever said it could also have meant that every painting should be displayed: it requires a wall to hang on . As you say, it's not immediately clear what is meant.

Language is alive. Let's not put it in a cage and cut off the parts that stick out, just because some of us find them aesthetically displeasing.

Just want to say thank you for being patient and rational. Reading your comments in this thread, they're like a soothing bandaid over all this flustered upset. I wish there were more comments like yours, and fewer people getting upset
