Weird, I used to remember that going to test-ipv6.com on my mobile (on 4G and 5G) used to fail all the tests. But today it passes. Well, good to know!

I'm fairly sure you can vibecode all these things, but given the state of agent produced code at the moment, I would suspect that your email and sms gate will have horrible security holes.

I often have a few dozen branches open at work, because I'm often waiting for reviews to go through but don't want to be blocked. I also often run little experiments in the background, like having an AI agent try to reliably repr

Git defaults are a bit weird. You also have to enable rerere yourself, when it should be on by default.

AIs these days are pretty good for the 'find prior art and related work' part I find. Of course, you should treat their output like that of an over-eager but somewhat unreliable intern.

Of course, having to go to the original store to sell a product second-hand ain't exactly the best user experience either. (It's fine by me, if that's their design and I don't think they are hiding it or tricking anyone.

I think your argument would need to be that it has no sympathetic victims. In any case, local monopolies that come from land are a common theme, not just for ski resorts. It's literally what land ownership is--or even just a 99 year l

Go to the beach? Owning a ski resort is no different than owning any other desirable property: real estate has a local monopoly. You recover that via property taxes (or land value taxes).

Transistors are most power efficient when they are either completely open (no resistance) or completely closed (no current). If they are in some analog half-open state they have both resistance and current, which means waste heat. Also tran

Funnily enough, technical speaking atoms are a small minority of ordinary matter, that is already excluding dark matter. That's because a lot of the ordinary mass in the universe is ionised or in other weirder states.
