mise is really nice in this respect in that it manages the tools and the environment, so you don't need direnv as well. It also has hooks for running arbitrary commands when you cd in (although you can do that with direnv because it ba

It looks cool but I feel this kind of tool is only useful if Ruby is the only language you use. I have to manage several runtimes for most projects. I've used asdf for years and recently switched to mise: these tools already download p

I've been on a similar journey. I was deep into rails early in my career. Then I moved on, especially liking typescript. I thought I wouldn't go back. But you don't always get the choice, a great job came up and it was a rail

Corporate taxes are paid on profit. In theory they should not change consumer pricing in a perfect market. They can be seen as a tool to encourage companies to spend more on R&D and capital investment rather than returning profit.

I visited the site many times with my dad. I wonder why the building seemed to susceptible to fire, given that it was a metal and glass construction? Was is it the nature of the exhibits? It's a shame they didn't rebuild it in the

React tutorials shouldn't cover this. They're for learning React. Otherwise every tutorial for anything web based would need to include all the basics about the web too, every time. I don't have an answer for where the best p

I hate that popup. Also the geographical stuff. I'm logged in already so why can't they show me whether its available in my country and in my currency. Instead I'm stuck on the US site and I have to go by some byzantine path

The problem with starting is that the very early books aren't that well written. They're funny and imaginative and great stories, but the actual text is a bit difficult. I found this out when reading them out loud to my oldest who

I wish he was still alive too, but I think the books had come to an end, at least the mainline ones. The problem was he started taking it in a very Victorian direction and I felt like it lost the dark grittiness the earlier books had. He wa

There are problems with every model, none of them are perfect. I've found Gemini to be very good but occasionally gets stuck in loops: it does, however, seem to detect the loop and stop. It's more cost effective than the Claude mo

Yep, I've got a remarkable gathering dust in a drawer. And I really tried to make that one work given the cost. I did find some niche uses for it, like drawing to scale when doing some garden planning, or using it for writing music. Bu

I have the same feeling about a lot of productivity tooling in the software world. At one point I had been convinced by several people that I needed to be taking notes, either handwritten or have some kind of note taking system. I tried for

I'd like to quibble with the word "always" and "least" there. If you passed your test and got your first car at 18 and you're younger than 68 then you've only had time for one 25 year old car, plus your cu

I'm interested to know why doing regen instead of braking would mean you have to replace the tires more often? Seeing as the tires are the only thing in contact with the road I would have thought it wouldn't make any difference wh

If an official reading is an average over an area or over a time period then it'll always be lower than the peak observed temperature. It doesn't matter so long as it is consistent.

For the resources you've listed we're nowhere near extracting just the known reserves. For lithium there are a lot of known sources that aren't included in the reserves because they haven't been assessed yet. And if we d

That is arguably incorrect and a matter of perception. Europe was perceived to be safer and more powerful 25 years ago. But is in fact, safer and more powerful now than it was then. Are you safer if the dependencies are unknown or if they&#

The problem is that for a lot of these problems Europe hasn't had that much self determination over the last 75 years. The US had to intervene twice in world wars that started in Europe. And after WWII the US did, arguably, a reasonabl

That usually isn't true if you're using the agent tools aimed at companies. They are explicit about what is and isn't used for training.

It's been unrealistic for long enough. I was 26 in 2009. I did so happen to own a "luxury" car, but it was $8000 used. I wasn't able to buy a house until I was 36. Part of that was due to moving around, which brought wit
