I appreciate how the article questions a simplistic narrative for the obesity epidemic narrative but offers a simplistic justification in place. Let's be real: something is clearly off on how we consume food. Walk into any supermarket

Congrats on the launch! It's awesome to see someone resurrect the best parts of Yahoo Pipes, I really miss the simplicity of those days. Have you thought about supporting other sources, such as websites with tables or social media feed

From my perspective leading a freshly launched MVP, I don’t believe documentation unilaterally outweighs testing, especially for a product that’s still finding its footing. Our tight resources are better spent establishing solid test covera

It is clear that htmx has a growing community, but it still feels a bit too backend-minded to convince frontend developers to adopt it. I tried it in a prototype, and it was quite pleasant until I realised I needed to account for additional

Thanks for the write up, that's a really nice way to explain passkeys, better than most of the guides found online. It’s tough to convey just how big a leap passkeys can be to folks in the tech bubble, because they’re often disconnecte

I’ve always figured those guardrails wouldn’t really hold up, but hearing that AI-based phishing can be 50 times more cost-effective than manual attacks is a serious wake-up call. We might have to rethink everything from spam filtering to o

The highlight for me is the distinction between being reckless and being 10x. It’s not about ignoring rules entirely; it’s about getting the right sign-offs and aligning the team, then going full throttle. Really resonates with how I like t

This is an amazing breakdown. I can't believe how quickly AI tools have become integral to our workflows. Completely agree with the idea that experienced developers will be even more valuable in the future.

I’m crossing my fingers that this EU move nudges Garmin, SRAM, Shimano, etc. to collaborate on an open Bluetooth protocol. Sick of the whole private extensions protocol approach.

Claude can write a sonnet about quantum physics but can't touch Taylor Swift lyrics. Funny how LLMs boundaries reveal who holds the power, in the US copyright rules; in China it’s politics. They say to find out who rules, just look at

Few languages pull off the balancing act Java does, supporting decades of code while rolling out big new features like project Loom in a backward compatible way. Oracle’s work really feels like a lesson in how to evolve a language.
