Agree on the timer. In one sense I really enjoy the timer up to the point that I lose, but it feels very unsatisfactory, especially if I lose early, & I'm acutely aware the difficulty level it's set at will be experienced radi

In fairness, both of these standards are from & for the cryptobro universe. Just that x402 is supported by large corps & l402 is created by some arbitrary shady crypto startup nobody has heard of. It's even possible that x402 d

Is L402 an open standard? It doesn't appear to be. X402 is an open standard backed by the Linux Foundation. I'm honestly not the biggest fan of the Linux Foundation as a company, nor of many of the names behind X402 (e.g. Coinbase

I think this is likely a part of the friction for a lot of people - symlinks. There's roughly two main ways to manage dotfiles: - symlink - copy & sync The 2nd (what chez moi does) is pretty hard to get right from a UX perspective.

People succumbing to parental pressure become doctors. A lot of folk go into teaching because there's high demand for workers & the academic path is relatively accessible. You're probably mostly right about social workers, but

Bill Gates' nerd image was as falsified as his philanthropic one. He was a shrewd businessman & knew PR well, that is all.

On the contrary, this feels like a great (hypothetical) example of how to use coding agents effectively. > Codex as of right now would write some overpowered application that polls in a loop looking for Music App starts and killing them

Your initial post on class solidarity was extremely reasonable (even if I disagreed with it - see my comment above) but to follow it up with a post describing castes in a non-negative light is wild.

just to clarify: 1. my company also employs its fair share of folk that would fit into the so-called "idiot" category of my post - I just thought it was of note that I have encountered exceptions to this stereotype 2. I fully supp

Ooof. This is a big topic - I understand where you're coming from, but it's a common sentiment & one I've recently come to disagree more & more with. Firstly: class solidarity. The apparent death of (or at least notab

The pre-ai reaction was also unwarranted: committing a massive amount of potentially unmaintainable handwritten code isn't a necessarily positive contribution and any decent engineer (or person tbh) would understand that & not expe

I can't imagine this happening in reality (i.e. people wanting to do this for normal production applications), but after reading your comment I must admit I am very tempted to try it for purely esoteric reasons.

I like React. I also hate React for many reasons, but I mostly like it because I genuinely believe React is the only front-end system I've used that got the fundamentals correct - they've just gotten many other trivial-but-still-a

OSM launched as a London / UK project. Even today, it's a lot more comprehensive in some parts of the world than others. If I got the impression that it was like OSM, that would give me the impression that it is only as global as

Yeah this makes sense (presuming you're talking about private chat). Most of what I've seen from Grok is its comments in a public forum, which are less targetted toward a single individual & therefore, I presume, less likely t

I'd see this as being useful for two reasons: 1. Provision of optional tools: I may use an ai agent differently to all other devs on a team, but it seems useful for me to have access to the same set of project-specific commands, skills
