I sometimes wonder if they're vulnerable to a coordinated effort of deliberately upvoting shit assistant turns and praising in the next user turn - how much does that actually contribute to future training, if at all? I had a very basi

Is it just me or did they turn off reasoning mode in free Gemini Pro this week? It's pretty useful as long as you hold it back from writing code too early, or too generally, or sometimes at all. It's a chronic over-writer of code,

IME it's not just longer, but also more difficult to tell the LLM precisely what you want than to write it yourself if you need a somewhat novel RegExp, which won't be all over the training data. I needed one to do something with

I've been using Flutter again recently because every time I need a workout timer, I spend ages looking for non-adware/crapware in mobile app stores then just writing my own. This latest version exists because the previous one bit

It is simple, and it very quickly becomes un-simple when it comes into contact with increasing app size/complexity (for things which _need_ to be apps, and which have to deal tasks where the size/complexity is essential due to fac

I do know what you specifically mean when you say that, but… _all_ libraries are leveraging native browser capabilities, even ones which implement a better component model than Web Components.

Every time I go back to give Web Components another 5 minutes, I hit this point where using lit or a lit-like would take a lot of the pain of the problems Web Components don't solve and have no planned solution for away. But once I dec

Web Components don't solve the problems I do have and add new problems I don't want. Many of the 25 mentions of Shadow DOM in the Components Page and 14 mentions of it in the Styling page are about solving problems you now only ha

If I'm just adding sprinkles of interactivity to a statically-rendered page for something that vanilla is good enough for (i.e. minimal-to-no display logic), I use the expando giving an element an `id` adds to `window`: <texta

I think it depends on how overboard you go on the ESLint + plugins config than anything. For a project I worked on, the main benefit was not having to manage (the 1,000 line haircut to package-lock.json was appreciated) and wire together th

There are separate tools to get single properties from the same config object. If you got someone's LLM-in-a-for-loop to send 6 separate HTTP requests for those, I'd consider them to have participated in performance art.

It's probably an adblocker, I explained why they get misaligned ([is-in-first-column] attribute adding extra margin) if a video gets hidden and the rest flow to fill in its place here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?

If you're using an adblocker, it's because YouTube video grid items have an [is-in-first-column] attribute which gives them extra margin-left, throwing off alignment when videos flow to fill in gaps created by promoted videos whic
