   Somewhere in there you have a link to example.com.

   To me this looks similar to rubber-ducking or technical writing. All three involve mentally modeling the perspective of someone who may not share your knowledge or assumptions.

   That sounds very much like a disposable cog job. The lower the requirements, the more easily the workers are replaced.

   I like that idea! Probably needs ligatures or some way to get glyphs to overlap or reverse direction.

   8-bit-era computers like the C64 (which were all monospace) had glyphs in the font for making borders and lines and the like.

   If the business model relies on fake bot profiles, then it's literally fraud, no?

   The sunk cost fallacy means that you should compare future costs to future costs, not that you should automatically discount all past efforts to a value of zero. You still have to consider the cost of reacquiring institutional knowledge and

   ECMO is a miracle, but can also lead to some of the saddest situations imaginable: "Without ECMO, she would die. But owing to the complexity of the machine and its attendant risks—catastrophic bleeding, stroke, infection, malfunction—s

    I've made the same prediction. It was blatantly obvious to me what would happen as soon as I saw GPT 3.5 producing decent quality responses. I had hoped the finger problem of image generators would last longer, but there are a lot of p

    I downloaded Wikipedia months ago so I would have access to only-slightly-tainted information during the information winter.

    I wonder if it's RAGing? Dying Internet forums are way, way into the tail of the data.

    I think it's a serious mistake that they allowed unlimited borrowers at a time, because that shifts from fair-use format shifting to effectively making multiple copies of the format-shifted document. That said, IANAL and I don't k

    You should have one source of truth for data. But frequently multiple implementations of the same, or similar, interface don't actually have the same semantics. By merging them, you now have the same source of truth for two distinct co

    I saved this link to a list of project ideas from (probably) a HN comment a while ago: https://www.andreinc.net/2024/03/28/programming-projects-ide... It's got a lot of stuff on it, so I'd suggest p

    Dodd-Frank in the US appears to require all financial institutions to record all conversations related to particular activities, despite the lack of an active lawsuit. It's very difficult to search for definite information about this,

    Rubber-ducking is useful, but nobody gives the rubber duck anywhere near as much credit as AI enthusiasts give to chatbots.

    I don't see anything to indicate that they're dropping X11 support? It sounds like they're dropping dependencies that would require X11 to be installed.

    This is probably the best of the genre. I think the main weakness is that it's slow even by idle/incremental genre standards, and there will be times when the right action is to leave it alone for hours or days.

    The insider constraints are real, though. Sometimes they're self-imposed, and that can be for good reasons (value system, long-term goals) or bad reasons (emotionally stuck, a disproportionate fear of small risks, etc.).

    This is my thought as well. The author means well but doesn't know what he doesn't know. Simple answers look good from the outside because it's hard to explain (and understand) all the constraints on a good solution.
