It has failed every meaningful programming challenge I've given it (to be fair, I only ask when I've got something difficult in front of me). I do wonder if part of it is that my prompts are made worse because I have a partial sol

Oddly enough, a very similar percentage of homes are owner occupied between the two countries despite the apparently dramatic differences in mortgage availability. Edit: this is based off a two minute Google I could be wrong.

I wonder if anyone involved had a vested interest in an alternative to banks.

Fixed terms of 5 years would be a very hard change to swallow in the US.

It was such a terrible and unnecessary idea. I know real people and communities are being hurt by this but what really broke my heart was watching baseball, where they've banned all time great players for life over very small or unprov

"Actually" is not a great word to use in the context of an apology.

And, to make more explicit what is implicit in your post, this practice of data analysis without much theoretical underpinning might lead you to say "I believe" instead of "I conclude."

Even if you think that AI breakthroughs won't cause a collapse of the labor market, why not create a backstop so that those who do can put their full support behind creating new and useful AI technology instead of fearing for their job

It's a path to scaling. You can basically dump a shell script (I assume including nushell) into your .pl/.rb file with a little punctuation and then slowly refactor it to a language that can handle greater complexity.

The first result for a quick Google yields this case where 3M is being sued because a chemical they made contaminated a privately owned reservoir (some towns are also suing, because they also own water supplies contaminated with PFAS): htt

That seems to be more or less the approach we've taken to date and it's set up a whack a mole game that we appear to be losing. Get in trouble for air pollution, convert to water pollution, the media gets upset about some chemical

JS is complicated because the browser environment is complicated. If it's going to be rendered by and live in a web browser it will either be complicated or limited in some way (like low code/no code tools).

One of the nice things about bash is that it interacts very nicely with Perl and Ruby. I wonder how these other shells work with the backticks and such in Perl/Ruby. Theoretically there is room for very cool interoperability but I wond

Blocks always use braces, but sometimes you are passing parameters and other times you are passing a block. If I spent all day as a PowerShell dev I'm sure I would know it, but for something I reach for once or twice a year intuitivene

I don't mind the looks but I find it hard to debug and have a poor instinct for "does this need a curly bracket or a parens?" That's my real issue with PowerShell, I find it very hard to predict what will work unless I k

By the way I got a chance to try the soda, it's very good!

I do wish we could get beyond the idea of "I don't like this system, get rid of it." It's not realistic in a society this size to just chuck something like the Federal Reserve. You'd think technologists of all peopl

That page brings me back ten years and not in a good way, I can hardly read the text.

And this situation is similar. A bad thing happened, so we were going to feel some pain. Instead of letting that lead to complete chaos we let it lead to some chaos and some inflation.

I get the sense that a lot of words have become generally mapped to "good" and others generally mapped to "bad" and it becomes difficult to have a nuanced conversation, especially around the not-uncommon situation where

Both versions I checked were in the USA, but the Guarana page was in Portuguese so it may be the version in Brazil.

I was just looking to try this soda and it looks like regular Guarana has almost exactly the same amount of sugar as a Coke. If anyone is interested in other sodas I recently had the chance to try Materva, a yerba mate soda, and I would rec

It doesn't keep the police from using it, it does keep some cloud company (and a possibly limitless network of 3rd parties, regardless of what is publicly known) from using it.

That's what disdain is though (in a very literal sense), not feeling that someone is worth your time or consideration. Your disdain of legacy clients might be profitable or understandable or even morally just, but it's still disda

Imagine if it leaks? Or anything else goes wrong? I've never heard of a dishwasher so loud it couldn't be run any time.

Truth be told I found #1 very easy, #2 and #3 seem straightforward enough, but since I've made it a goal to see friends more it's been a herculean task. I find myself being one of very few people actually taking the initiative to

I've always wanted to say, in response to a request for an estimate on a large project, "let me work on it a few weeks and then I'll tell you."
