In the US at least it's pretty common to see bars using cheater pints. They look like 16 oz pint glasses but with a few tricks wind up only holding 14 oz

Why have five nines when you can have nine fives?

I did assume you were being hyperbolic when writing it, but yes. I would think that anyone looking at the state of the US right now may see "A totalitarian theocratic regime with long range ballistic missiles and nukes" as referri

Did you consider that there was over 15 hours between their post and yours, and that perhaps at the time of their post the GP was downvoted?

The concern isn't that a dev sees 3x. Rather that at some point devs become a pointless middleman in the workflow. If the manager/PM can just tell the computer what they want, why do they need the dev in the middle to do it for th

Sure. At home. And yes, I'm old enough to have walked around with a phone tucked in my neck. But if you're in public, and using a smartphone, headphones are always an option. There s absolutely no reason why anyone needs to use sp

Perhaps people can cheat while still giving them headphones or turning devices on silent mode?

I can't remember the last time I've been on a flight, train, or bus where there wasn't at least one person playing audio of some sort without headphones.

They applied to a couple of jobs where they were certain the fit would be good, and didn't mindlessly spam their resume to some bot. They got in touch with the right people, and worked it out from there. Because they had done their hom

> OP was saying the only way to get hired is through work connections That is not at all what I said. Please do not misrepresent. I said they took a targeted approach *and* exercised their networks. Those are two separate things.

indeed. even if I didn't lose them along the way or have them stolen via hack, I would have cashed out back when they were outlandishly priced at $100. I never would have held on to them this long. But even $100 would have been nice gi

Same. there's no chance I'd have the riches associated with those coins. Or at least that's how I manage to sleep at night. There was a local food delivery service at the time that accepted bitcoin. Can you imagine looking ba

Anyone who has been in the industry for several years or more should have people they can reach out to. That’s not being well connected. This is really just a reversion to how things used to work, relying on human connections. People seemed

A friend told me about bitcoin in early 2010, back when the coins were effectively free. I laughed at the idea and called it stupid. I still think it's stupid, but I'd be a whole lot richer if I went along with it at the time!

Kinda funny how in some 4 year periods these sorts of headlines are treated as existential crises, whereas in other 4 year periods they are not.

If you use it I'm curious if you find it limited at all from lagging behind superpowers? For instance I opened up one skill at random and they haven't yet pulled in the latest commit from last week. I doubt any hot off the press f

That’s part of what I’ve liked about it over plan mode. Again not a scientific measurement but I feel it’s better at interactive brainstorming and researching the big picture with me. And it’s built in multiple checkpoints also give me more

I've gone the other way recently, shifting from pure plan mode to superpowers. I was reminded of it due to the announcement of the latest version. It is perhaps confirmation bias on my part but I've been finding it's doing a

I do think that GenAI will lead to a rise in mutation testing, property testing, and fuzzing. But it's worth people keeping in mind that there are reasons why these aren't already ubiquitous. Among other issues, they can be comput
