If it's already a problem, nothing this developer does will improve it, including crippling their software and removing arguably legitimate use cases.

Or- fedi's design encourages more self-hosting because it's so easy and straightforward. With AT, yes it's harder to run your own instance but there's also less reason to: personalized moderation/feeds are just buil

Yeah... Reddit's still the MVP here. But tbh I'd take the ghost town of BlueSky over what passes for programming discourse on X. Long since taken over by video producers and tech bros pushing their "grindset"

I would be happier to do it if there was transparency about how much of the delivery costs the restaurant is covering. Delivery services benefit both producers and consumers. I'm not willing to be on the hook for the whole thing.

> Treating UI test code as some kind of static source of truth is the biggest nightmare in all of UI front end development. Web UIs naturally have a ton of "jank" that accumulates over time, which leads to a ton of false negati

This looks very cool and makes a lot of sense, except for the idea that it should take the place of Playwright et al. Personally I'd love to use this as an intermediate workflow for producing deterministic playwright code, but it looks

It's no different from how rebasing works in any shared git project; rebased commits are re-created with different SHAs.

My theory is people watch more video than they read prose. Then they end up "thinking in video", even as they write for readers. So we get little textual storyboards for unproduced video content. Easy for them to write, annoying f

It's really striking how similar your description is of your progress as a writer to the progression of LLM quality, particularly in terms of long context windows ("the more I wrote, the weirder they became") and training (&q

Wow, I've never seen a critique backed solely by word association. I am guessing the artist made exactly what they wanted to.

It's a bit silly to claim that any debugger comes with zero performance "overheads". And somehow they failed to think of any drawbacks for the debugger they ship in their paid software... I use nvim-dap with nvim-dap-ruby; it

If I used your app and found a bug, who would write the code to fix it? If I wanted an authoritative answer about some technical aspect of the system before I decided to use/pay for it, who would be able to answer it?

To be extremely pedantic, it's great satire precisely because it mirrors that shift. Owes a lot to the OG, A Modest Proposal.

Nah I'm good, thanks anyway. I prefer to preserve the commenting culture by gently ridiculing people who don't get it. Downvotes and flags don't discourage nearly as well.

You're just name-calling; it's juvenile and unprovoked. Like, I'd muster some respect for your efforts here if they were substantive and responsive to the actual point . But you choose to make a different first impression.

Your compulsion to belittle strangers doesn't affect me one way or the other. I do wonder why you don't feel embarrassed posting weak dunks like this under what is apparently your real name.

If you're going to miss the point this substantially, you should be a little more humble about it.

If that word choice annoys you, I'm rather glad I chose it. Speaking of "you problems", I assumed that most people are using web browsers to read this. We can hardly be blamed for this. But contrarian that you are, I won&#x27

Counterpoint: PearAI was launched as a trivial copy of another product and framed by its creators as the greatest thing since sliced bread. It's obvious that these people are less interested in making something useful than they are i

This jumped out at me: "The NYT claims it discussed OpenAI's negotiations with nine people close to the discussions but who wish to remain anonymous." "Claims"? Generally newspapers do not lie about the sourcing for

When we get to where you're talking about, I think it'll still be easy to find someone who's not satisfied. Software and technology in general have been reducing and creating bullshit in varying proportions since the start. P
