The level of trust in leadership is remarkable. There’s reasonable ways to have people try power tools. Have one team use power tools and another hand tools and see the outcome. The mandate was literally “the more sawdust you create the mor

He’s not saying he has any of those experiences. He even qualifies it at the end with the bit about Oliver Twist. The point isn’t “I’m better than you” it’s that experience brings a different sort of knowledge than simply reading about thin

We do multiple trips. A few long weekends, one one week, and one two week. The two week one we have to take it easy. I also backpack and ski and while Disney is obviously real cushy when you’re getting up at 6am every day and doing 25k step

That’s next level and might even be more than Disney adult. I spent a whole month last year at Disney Word and am doing it again this year but even I describe that as going too far.

I was replying to the comment not necessarily the article. The _not new_ was in reference to college grads not always having an easy time. That being said looking at the cited data I don't really know if I agree with the conclusion. h

This isn’t really new. When I graduated in 2013 the barista with a college degree was a trope for a reason. Maybe 50% of my graduating CS class had a CS job within 6 months of graduating. Friends with other degrees spent years trying to fin

Every time I read one of these I’m impressed by the language server work. Gleam’s DX is so good.

It's also a game people play in person as well. It's the same as the Halo version except you tag each other instead of shooting. It's really fun to play in big open areas with large teams.

This is what culture is right? Different sorts of people are attracted to different sorts of things and so the culture that builds around those things is somewhat self reinforcing. Lua's culture mirrors its core and attracts people who

I find this line of thinking so hard to follow. I happen to have worked at FactSet and when I was there we were stuck supporting chromium 18 because it was embedded in the version of the workstation that a partner had signed a contract whic

As someone who’s built a lot of frontend frameworks this isn’t what I’ve found. Instead I’ve found that you end up with the middle ground choice which while effective is no better than the externally maintained library of choice. The reason

The moon landing led to a huge amount of infrastructure and inventions which now power the modern world. The moon landing was the marketing moment. The buildout of space tech and creation of industry was the actual goal.

Yea I think the author is wrong as well. I have a similar skill but the key difference is the instructions are just to fix typos. Why would the author not just use Claude as the plumbing and retain his old nonsense issues is beyond me.

I literally hit a claude code bug today, tried to use claude desktop to debug it which didn't help and it offered to open a bug report for me. So yes 100%. Some of the titles also make it pretty clear they are auto submitted. This is m

I wish they’d, dare I say, delved deeper into the bit about Nigerian English. My understanding is that’s where a lot of labeling happens. Now I wonder if that explains the idiosyncrasies not the size of the Nigerian English corpus online a

This is interesting to think about. It’s basically just birds and primates. Birds have an ancient evolutionary tree as they are dinosaurs, which did actually walk on two legs. But the gap between dinos and primates walking on two feet, I th

So then are you saying there is no such thing as consciousness? That everything is conscious? The intent of that quote is to say “consciousness is subjective experience”. You don’t need dualism to agree with that quote. I agree with Nagel’s

There is no fundamental error it’s purposefully exactly as you state. Nagel is saying that consciousness is that second thing.
