I think parent is saying "% of code being generated by AI" is not a generally good, direct metric for business value. It's akin to the "we are pushing SO MUCH CODE" phase of early ai marketing. If we're trying

Agree 100% everyone should ask what you want to achieve before even considering starting. General archetypical goals of travel hackers I've seen are: 1. Maximum number of trips 2. Minimum cost for trips (cheap or free travel)

Edit: not sure if your comment was meant for me or timqin. Leaving it up just for general awareness General tips: - Never carry a balance, ever. If you do, forget about playing this game because it'll cost you more than you gain.

Congrats on the launch! Been using your free product for a little while. As a fellow traffic hacker, some random comments: - I've been in the points game for a long time so I may not be your target customer. Take feedback with a

Honestly, this is like watching a movie about "How MBA's kill businesses" in real time. The lure of a recurring revenue forecast has driven HP into investing in dodgy subscription services instead of further improving their

The thumb cluster design was one of the reasons I went with the Glove80. Moonlander, ErgoDox, and even Advantage 360 thumb clusters seem harder to hit than the Glove80's, though I do wish there was some option to use 1.5u keys on the

This is really cool! I love pet projects like this. Although, I can't help but wonder why OP didn't put a frame around an ancient Fire tablet or something else with an LCD screen and web browsing out of the box. Seems like it wou

What technology did you use to build the scraper and how did you get around the usual challenges (anti bot, ip banning, etc) with scraping large amounts of data?

I also find that tone a bit annoying but I'm OK with it because it highlights how these types of bets, without an immediate benefit, can pay off very well in the long term, even for huge companies like Google. AI, as we currently know

Very much agree with you. C# is a great language and the .net runtime(s) are really productive. I'm speaking specifically about Web Parts which is a pretty old toolset a la legacy WebForms. Ironically, legacy .NET toolchains like We

Agree, this site looks like it is tailored closely to its users' needs. However, I don't envy the developers that need to keep this ASP.NET web parts site up to date.

If you squint a bit, the "original" MVC looks eerily similar to the one-way data flow pattern popularized by flux/redux. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/React_(software)#Unidirectiona... edit: better link

Reading these comments reminds me of how old (and jaded?) I am. We saw the same thing in previous recession-type environments (2000, 2008, etc). Layoffs suck-they hurt everyone involved (except maybe for the shareholders?) and are a big bi

Seems like the crux of this ruling isn't the time tracking software per se, but the fact that she charged against files (i.e. clients) that she didn't work on. FTA: "I've plugged time to files that I didn't tou

Ah, yes I forgot to mention that part of the idea is that everyone on that particular "smart freeway" would be required to have the hardware to support it, no exceptions. Yes, I understand that would be quite regressive and has a

I've asked this around a few times and I don't if it's completely dumb or somewhat viable. Why can't we put rails on top of (some parts of) freeways and adapt our cars to work somewhat like railways? Call it "smart
