An M2 Pro draws around 20W with IntelliJ development, usually it hovers at around 12W. Gaming with GeForce Now keeps it at 12W as well. I am baffled by the need for over ten fold power adapters.

Our parents were emotionally absent. Now we swing the opposite way and interfere too much in fear or being the wrong type of parent. Our fear of traumatising our children causes trauma due to too much constraining.

Experience in software projects plus AI gives a clever consultant a force multiplier that is unheard of. A person who knows how things are made but lacks time can leverage AI to boost their productivity by several multiples. What a time to

Last paragraph is spot on. Would also add a vast amount is spent looking at the code and the system and just understanding what goes where.

co-pilot excels in writing tests. It removes so much of the tedium and boilerplate. It seems to understand fixtures once you define one and understands subsequent changes to the boilerplate such as changing usernames, ids, appending items t

My problem with Siri is that it doesn't understand speech. I am non native speaker but coming from Android I had no problems with Google in understanding what I am saying. It just does not understand or completely alters the phrase.

I've been dabbling with Prisma after almost a decade of staying away from ORMs such as EJB3 / Hibernate / iBatis. With Prisma I like the ability to generate migrations and the DB schema from a single schema definition file. I
