I get some kind of AI summary when I do a long left click on a link. I'm sure I'm not the only one to accidentally trigger that one.

I wasn't about to call them a luddite. This is a pretty poorly veiled attempt at drumming the inevitability of AI coding. Did they really need to defend their preference for not reading LLM prose with "I will never write code manu

Please talk to a doctor if you're curious about this instead of following this advice. Megadosing vitamins and supplements comes with risks not addressed by the author.

After reading it, I'm still left asking why browsers can't do this for the user on mobile as well. User preferences should be respected by default and not require an opt-in step from the webmaster of all parties. I tried using a b

I don't see how the Jevons paradox would apply here. Code being cheaper and faster to produce obviously causes the demand for apps such as this one to grow. That's just supply and demand. An example of where I think the paradox wo

I can only speak for $MY_JOB, but I'm pretty sure everyone was on Atom before VSC "got good". Atom had a good plugin ecosystem; what really drove the change was Atom's horrible performance issues whereas VSC was snappy a

This is what I switch to whenever a default font annoys me because of poor glyph differentiation. It's what it says on the tin.

You're probably right about the latter point, but I do wonder how hard it'd be to mask the default "marketing copywriter" tone of the LLM by asking it to assume some other tone in your prompt. As you said, reading this s

I suffered a burnout fall last year and adapting to a slower lifestyle was my way out of it. I started reading long novels, and taking aimless, leisurely walks. It's hard to overstate the positive effect that had on my mind and well-be

I don't think this is true at all. At slow, manageable tempos, you can afford to use motions that don't scale to fast tempos. If you only ever play "what you can manage" with meticulous, tiny BPM increments, you'll

I agree. I like Lobsters but the political brigading is unfortunate and the moderation seems to favor one side over the other. That almost sours the whole experience, but I've learned to hide low quality drama posts and move on.

I've found that the VSCode GitHub Copilot extension defaults to Claude Sonnet 4.0 (in agent mode) in all new workspaces. It's the first thing I check now, but I imagine a lot of people just roll with it, especially if they use inl

I second this. I had a tendency to get stuck watching YouTube videos before I hid all algorithmic recommendations and the Home page with Unhook. I can finally use YouTube without getting distracted, and there's no way I'm going ba

That'd open a whole new can of worms. Browsers are already gargantuan pieces of software even with the relatively primitive tags we have today. We don't need to further argue with each other what the <toc> tag should look an

I feel like that's more of an issue with the examples and LLMs? Discounting a framework just because it has ever increasing, completely optional capabilities doesn't compute to me. I'm not convinced there's a real proble

I wasn't aware of this phenomenon. I did some digging and this is apparently indeed still an issue on CJK Windows. This PR to Bluesky has more recent discussion about it and offers workarounds: https://github.com/bluesk

Is there a real reason not to use AGPL? The fact that it makes Google very uncomfortable[1] is a great selling point to me. [1]: https://opensource.google/documentation/reference/using/agpl...

I agree. I think a better analogy than a compiler is a search engine that has an excellent grasp of semantics but is also drunk and schizophrenic. LLMs are really valuable for finding information that you aren't able to formulate a pro

If you want to delve deeper into this topic and like the Advent of Code format, you're in luck: i18n-puzzles[1] has a bunch of puzzles related to text encoding that drill how UTF-8 (and other variants such as UTF-16) work into your bra

I'm guessing that's an LLM hallucination. The conclusion section especially has some hints it was pulled out of an LLM: > The package managers we benchmarked weren't built wrong, they were solutions designed for the constr

There are some rough edges to Bun (see sibling comments), so there's a apparent cost to switching, namely wasted developer time in dealing with Node incompatibility. Being able to install packages 7x faster doesn't matter much to

Semantic web is a bit different from semantic HTML. As I understand it, the main point of semantic web is making the web machine readable, often using languages specifically designed for that task that are not HTML. Semantic HTML is more co
