One thing I wonder with your `git diff` example—doesn’t it need more context on your code? A super simple way to give it slightly more would be to use `git diff -U` to simply include more context lines. I often just take an entire subtree I

You admit that you’re getting older, and I think that’s part of the disconnect with emojis. OK does not convey the same thing. You’re talking about having to zoom in to see the emoji, and the younger crowd already has every one memorized. T

A law? As an engineer, I really don’t want a bunch of technologically-inept congressmen telling me how I have to build software, firmware, or hardware.

The right way to include all of this context would be to start with the lead and then back it up with the context. I can’t read stuff written like this.

That’s really the reason for my comment—there’s a fine line, and the person I responded to said something (IIRC) along the lines of “take my money, I don’t care, I just want good government services”, and that can’t be the message. Everyone

In the case of one of my examples, it took someone dragging a bag of bushings to congress. And though these specific examples may have been addressed, the point is there are likely many more in every corner of the government. It needs to be

I feel like people lose sight of exactly how ridiculously much money a trillion dollars is. You’re mentioning a bunch of desirable things you’d like the federal government to do, while ignoring the millions wasted on everything from a $90,0

A coworker once claimed that Go is the new Java, and I haven’t really been able to refute it.

That’s not how chemicals work. It’s not “methylenedioxy” mixed with methamphetamine, it’s an entirely distinct molecule. MDMA is an enpathogen, an aspect which contradicts OP’s key point.

I think defense _spending_ could be cut dramatically without changing our defense _posture nor preparedness_, simply by modernizing inefficient systems, reducing waste, renegotiating contracts, etc. Our defense spending is relatively insane

“Uppers”? I thought the leading theories were MDMA and Ketamine (and recovering from neck surgery), neither of which are best-described by the word “uppers”, nor is that behavior an effect that “uppers” generally have (e.g. cocaine, (meth)a

So, are the exchanges connected? Would there be any difference for me buying and selling stocks on “normal NYSE” vs “NYSE Texas”? What benefits would companies see from listing on NYSE Texas vs the other NYSE?

Well, the assumption is that an acceptable divestiture is going to happen, but these things take time. And yes, TikTok is pretty special to me and has positively impacted my life in a variety of ways.

I don’t think the national security concerns have been well asserted. What’s the specific national security issue, and the evidence of TikTok doing it?

Though most of the comments are about Trump, I’m happy to see TikTok back (for now). I don’t think Trump ignoring the law is the answer or the right way to go about this, but I’ll take it for now if it keeps TikTok around. What’s most shock

You should look at what’s going on in Cancun Mexico with Uber and the taxis right now. Your description in the first sentence is quite accurate. Your comment also points out the power that regulation has to enforce and protect monopolies. I

It’s funny, I’ve never actually used Gemini and, though this may be incorrect, I automatically assume it’s awful. I assume it’s awful because the AI summaries at the top of Google Search are so awful, and that’s made me never give Google AI

This is super super cool. I’ll tell you the single barrier to me actually using this regularly—it needs an algorithm. It would be so cool (and a good learning project) to even build the simplest of recommendation algorithms behind it based

But, the need for reproducible and auditable code will remain. If I take your idea full circle, first we’ll have this committed set of English prompts, then we’ll need to evolve some type of very explicit structure around the prompts to ens

If there’s a genuine interest I’m happy to explain. Reels and shorts are severely different, even from a purely technical and feature-focused standpoint. They lack lack the ability to pause (I think YouTube allows it but reels no) or save t

There are people who think similar platforms exist and people who have used TikTok, unfortunately.

Not a content creator, but a TikTok user for several years. I really feel like the app changed my life. It opened my world to new cultures and ideas, brought me out of my comfort zone, introduced me to several real life friends. I made big

It’s really not, not even close to the same. The algorithm is really, really bad compared to TikTok. You can’t pause videos, can’t download them, can’t use copyrighted music, the comments are awful and full of bullying and hate and anger. I

These days I wonder if Google is really the example to follow. There was a time 10 or 15 years ago where Google seemed to be leading the industry in everything, and I feel like a lot of people still think they do when it comes to engineerin
