Seriously. Honestly this whole thing feels kinda like…using an LLM to write a blog post about debugging weird problems that only exist because the whole platform was built by an LLM in the first place. The multiple top level comments that a

It seems like their whole platform depends on it though… to my read they’re providing their users with cloud devcontainers to connect to from their local VS Code, then deploying to production by snapshotting the container with docker commit

Totally. In a world of pretty ugly flip phones and Blackberries, the minimalist early iPhone designs definitely looked cool at the time, and were attention grabbing to a degree. I think it definitely kept that edge for some time against ear

I dunno, while they didn’t tell me to ask for cash, my parents basically made me invest any cash I got as gifts, plus everything I earned at summer jobs. I think that this kind of “investing by default” mindset ( plus getting my own deskto

I understand that, what I was getting at is more that I, as a user, have little insight or control around when or where my phone will decide to open an app when I click a link, vs continue to work like a normal browser. The app developers d

As much as I disliked open plan offices, I did enjoy trolling my coworkers with fake blue screen of death and kernel panic screensavers. Windows 95 "Pipes" also got a lot of nostalgic shoutouts when I used that for a while.

I imagine that, if attested cameras like this come into any sort of regular use, you'll see additional layers of metadata mixed into the signature—a depth map, GPS, accelerometers, operator biometrics etc, none of which are necessarily

I've been able to do really cool stuff that I would never have otherwise bothered with by having an LLM generate Overpass queries + walk me through complex setup steps with QGIS.

I think this is correct, but I also have a sense that smartphones and infinite scroll algorithmic social media feeds have acted as a one-two punch, significantly more impactful in combination than each would have been individually. Modern

The cycle of car costs, repairs, and impacts of breakdowns for under-privileged people is a pretty serious poverty trap in places that have no other options. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/04/us/trump-ta

Businesses paying people already file copies of the W-2s and 1099s that they send to their employees with the IRS, meaning that, for a very large chunk of Americans, the IRS already knows everything needed to fill out their tax forms.
