Agreed.

I would have a massive problem with someone like KEXP being forced to do this. Though I'm sure they would find a way of complying without complying.

Schoolhouse was always aired by ABC, but your point stands. (Sesame Street and Fred Rogers wouldn't exist without the CPB.)

To be the contrarian, I actually don't mind a call for more patriotic programming to celebrate the USA's 250th. That makes sense. I definitely mind the slippery slope this precedent introduces. (Why not just keep doing this?) I&#x

Well those pearls weren't going to clutch themselves, you know.

Absolutely. Children have been disowned and cut off for not following the faith of their families. Many parents take the "under God" part seriously.

That would've happened regardless. But the alternative --- zero moderation, 100% free speech --- is how you get flamewars and spam like Slashdot and tons of other forums before it suffered from.

I don't think an alternative exists. Reddit was very unique. The last great BBS (in a sense) that non-Internet natives "got". Before astroturfing on Reddit at scale was possible, it was an extremely reliable place to get pers

For every cathedral (like SQLite) there are 100s of bazaars (like Firefox, Chrome, hundreds of core libraries) that depend on external (and especially first-time) contributors to survive (because not everyone is getting paid to sling open-s

it's not about "better" it's about enjoyment someone else on here analogized this perfectly: coding with AI is like solving a solved puzzle. you engage other neural pathways to get the result you want, but "the thin

Couldn't have said this better myself. Thank you for writing this.

Nah; I could see any of the modern models blazing through that challenge. What might be better is an option that developers can enable which disables new PRs by API. This way, outside contributors can still create new PRs if they're wi

That would be a huge loss IMO. Anyone being able to contribute to projects is what makes open source so great. If we all put up walls, then you're basically halfway to the bad old days of closed source software reigning supreme. Then t

The issue here is that LLMs are great for hobbyist stuff like you describe, but LLMs are obscenely expensive to run and keep current, so you almost HAVE to shove them in front of everything (or, to use your example, spread the diarrhea into

I've been hitting this a lot lately in Kagi. I'll search for instructions on how to do a thing and some random website will have nothing but _hard_ AI slop going off about the thing I was looking up. It must be easier than ever to

Not surprising. Many folks struggle with writing (hence why ChatGPT is so popular for writing stuff), so people struggling to coherently express what they want and how makes sense. But the big models have come a long way in this regard. Cla

I find it funny that we, collectively, are now okay with comments in the code. I remember the general consensus on this _not even two years ago_ being that the code should speak for itself and that comments harm more than help. This matters

I don't know. On one hand, they're totally right; their project, their rules. On the other hand, it feels crappy to contribute to an open source project that doesn't actually take contributions (or derides new contributors be

Several Redditors have observed that turning off swipe-to-type has improved keyboard accuracy. I tried this and confirmed that it makes a small difference. Nevertheless, I shouldn't have to disable this (and AutoCorrect, as that has de

Thanks for catching that! That's on purpose. I have two resumes: eng.resume.carlosnunez.me and consulting.resume.carlosnunez.me. The `consulting` resume highlights my strategic/sales side whereas the `eng` resume shows off my engi

I'm a simple man. I see a post about the reMarkable; I comment. Buying this damn thing has been a life-changer. I could never get on with physical notebooks, as I always lost them and searching for stuff was a chore. It's an amazi

It's not nonsense. At least it hasn't been for me. My memory retention shoots into the stratosphere when I write stuff (that I need to remember) down. Something about it being slower and actual effort needing to be expended to com
