The difference is that taxis would either give you a call that they were here or they'd just wait for. They don't care either way if you show up or not because the meter is running. The Uber is gone if you don't show up in 5

Exactly. Sure, I can go read a book and learn about Rails. If I wanted to be a Rails specialist I probably would, but I don't want to be a Rails specialist. And like you said, other languages can do this too, but I haven't really

I don't think I've ever been unhappier than working on a Rails project. See a bug on the site - something is rendering incorrectly. grep to find the view. Great, there's a method that is being called to render the buggy secti

I've worked at Amazon since 2018 and they've always talked about the software engineers being fungible during my tenure there. Technically everyone is supposed to be able to do everything, but in practice it's a huge headache

Apple App Store Connect has this issue for example. If you remove or downgrade someone from the store they retain access for however long... and they keep the ability to do destructive actions like remove or change the permissions of other

To be fair here if you look at their "supporting evidence" most of it is pointing at markdown formatting. Some of the other things it points to are also just common in human writing, though the overuse leans more towards coming fr

I skimmed the study rather than the article about it and I don't see them define it at all. They just had a machine learning model take accelerometer data and classified it into "sleep, sedentary behaviour, light physical activity

I played around with local LLMs on my M4 Max 64GB this weekend and this is exactly what I found. I put Opus 4.7 "head to head" on the same task as Qwen 3.6 and a few other local models. The 35B did not perform well IME - it needed

IME there is a large difference in quality in what is available at the super market. Sure I can do a once a year road trip to Monterey. The average organic heirloom tomato at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's is worse than the average organi

libghostty makes it pretty easy to do. I spent about two weeks setting something up until it was advanced enough to daily drive. I wanted to have a modal workflow similar to vim or tmux copy mode, but without having the overhead of using tm

I live in Seattle and anecdotally I have seen the number of people running red lights absolutely explode in the last two years. Literally from seeing once or twice pre-COVID to at least one a day. This is not an exaggeration, there's a

It's kind of hilarious to call 2 single words at the end of a blogpost that you could have read over "pushing politics down your throat". As you said, you didn't even have an idea what it meant. For all you knew before y

I'm not sure where you're getting that from in my comment. I never said US citizens should want H1Bs for everyone with zero vetting, only that they are a net tax positive. It's not a dichotomy of maintaining the status quo or

If you have access to data that shows big tech is preferentially hiring visa holders over US citizens you should get on that class action lawsuit right away. That's probably hundreds of thousands or even millions per person in lost wag

No, because H1B has pay requirements. As someone who went through the process with Amazon I can confirm that they definitely do offer you a salary that is in line with the local market. There might be lower incentive for raises down the lin

I find for me that doesn't work. I have to actively count calories to lose or maintain a healthy BMI range. If I don't, no matter what I eat, I end up stabilizing in the overweight category. I'm lucky enough that my wife has

My impression is purely from a metrics perspective, people who were underperforming can really look like they are 3x as productive. AI is a real increase for them because it can do things they couldn't. It just gives them the ability t

Depending on the CLI tool you could even forego memory management completely and just rely on the OS to clean up. If your program completely reads arbitrary files into memory it's probably not the best idea, but otherwise it can be a v
