Personally I started getting wrist pain 2 or 3 years ago. I have been using Colemak anyway for more than 15 years - my original reason for switching was because the German QWERTZ layout I grew up with is not very programming friendly, symbo

I don't see how less puzzles is an improvement - you always had the option to only do 12 puzzles and skip ones you don't find interesting. I guess just from a statistical perspective, you're probably more likely to find 12 pu

I've started seeing this increasingly over the past few months, both from Teslas and non-Teslas. Most recently about 2 weeks ago, someone did it right in front of a police car - who didn't care in the slightest! Some people just d

I swapped out a "proper" parser for a regex parser for one particular thing we have at work that was too slow with the original parser. The format it is parsing is very simple, one top level tag, no nested keys, no comments, no at

Personally I think they are useful, but in a much narrow way than they are often sold as. For things I'm very familiar with, they seem to reduce my productivity by a good chunk. For things I don't want to do like writing some kind

I was told the total cost was about 10k or so including filing fees and lawyers, and so on, and O1 closer to 50k or so. Seems like most of big tech will just try for O1 instead now... I've heard some wild stories over the years of how

They seem to have fixed that, at least for me all the top results are Pinboard clients or other products with Pinboard in the name. With the ads it really feels like Apple is playing all sides, they almost always show the competitor first.

At least it's always only one ad, but on the other hand it takes up half the screen. Plus the title is the name of the app, not "Firefox". Really, the bar is not very high for ads

I've heard lots of people complain during the "exploratory" phase of writing code - maybe you haven't fully figured out how to write the code yet, you're iteratively making changes and restructuring as you go. Most

Is there a standard that all software must be developed in ANSI C that I missed, or something? The git developers are saying - we want to use Rust because we think it will save us development effort. NonStop people are saying we can't

"You have to backport security fixes for your own tiny platform because your build environment doesn't support our codebase or make your build environment support our codebase" seems like a 100% reasonable stance to me

10 YoE means nothing. Let's not pretend there isn't a massive skill gap in software engineering. I've interviewed and worked with 10+ YoE people in my company that I wouldn't trust with junior work on my team.

It's a dumb argument anyway. Most normies think autopilot means the plane flies itself. At the very least they think it flies itself except for landing or takeoff. By the technical definition of an autopilot perhaps they were correct,

IME that is certainly the norm in many European countries. Where I'm from the labels usually say the full price and then the tax rate next to it, e.g. "120 EUR incl. 20% VAT" meaning the actual product is 100 EUR and the 20%
