I have been in web dev since 1999, and recently switched to a backend role. I am never going back. The endless thrashing on front end borders on psychosis. Something is clearly broken, and that thing is my feeble mind.

I feel like we’ve reached an era where information provenance is of paramount importance. This has always been an issue with fabricated data sets, but the ease at which anything can be fabricated—even a video—demands some new determinant of

Just so everyone understands what this is... they've added typed variables to CSS that can be passed down to children, so CSS is just converging even more to SCSS and friends. The button is flashy, but not really relevant. TLDR: you di

Does anyone here know why we have barely had any hurricanes or tropical storms this year despite the record heat? NOAA was expecting this to be a very active year due to the record temperatures, but it’s been extremely quiet.

There’s a deep irony that I have to make a file to help LLMs scrape content while others claim AI will doom humanity. A few deep ironies actually.

I'm more excited to learn about Kamal here. [0] Need to dig into the differences between this and Dokku. At first glance, Kamal seems more config file focused while Dokku is command centric. Kamal also seems less mature, lacking the Do

This was only to balance out a demand collapse which occurred during the two day period. The Saudi's were deliberately pumping oil during the pandemic to bankrupt US energy companies which were over-leveraged in many cases, and Trump r

The core realization of the article is that energy costs have increased 30-100%. This is inline broadly with inflation experienced post-COVID presumably due to all the helicopter money dumped on the economy. I suspect if these figures were

Is it possible to add a mode that doesn't depend on API access (e.g. copy and paste this prompt to get your answer)? Or do you make roundtrips?

Is it possible to disable CORS? Ive often wanted to make mashups for personal use and bots where that would be handy.

Remember friends “Federal Trade Commission v. Meta Platforms, Inc.” initiated by the Biden admin still doesn’t have a court date. While I completely agree, he agree screwed up, the admission is well timed.

The TL;DR is at the bottom. Just use VUSXX. It’s tax exempt-ish and more liquid than buying treasuries outright.

I'm very curious to see what a breakup looks like. Past breakups involved "uniform" businesses: - American Tobacco: Commodity - Standard Oil: Commodity - AT&T: Utility - Northern Securities: Railroads - Swift & Co: Me

In this case we’re talking about the Air Force, so yes congress would need to intervene. Pray tell, what does the size or influence of a company have to do with being able to dump chemicals? If it’s legal, it’s legal for everyone! Even litt

They're comparing the sphere of water to the Earth which is a sphere. Also it's by the Water Science School, so it doesn't seem your definition of completeness was the intention.

California is an example, but I’m unclear about other states. Honestly, I’m unclear across the board because there are a lot of employee made purchases that are conditions of employment (phone, computer), and it could be argued that this pu

People who talk about demographic crises seem to forget that populations grow in a S-shaped curve with things leveling out when resources become scarce. The reasons cited for the crisis are "demanding work cultures, stagnating wages, r

In theory, this would allow you to keep more people employed since you're paying less per head. It's a form of "labor redistribution" if you will.

What if you want your citizens to be able to vote on policy matters in real time to make things more democratic? It would be too burdensome with pencil and paper. Alternatives are useful.

I love Rails and Ruby and miss the ecosystem dearly, but the joy dies once you find yourself lost in layers of code without any types or IDE support. This is especially true on large teams. So what are your options... Sorbet? Does this feel

This reminds me of a post[0] where 3 junior devs had written a spaghetti monster that generated 20 million dollars annually, and OP was crying for a rewrite while everyone on HN chuckled. "Long-term thinking"--often times, you ain

I'm confused, and please correct me if I'm wrong. Aren't all these calls blocking? Doesn't `File.read` still block? Sure it's multithreaded, but it still blocks. Threading vs an event loop are two different concurre
