This is a classic false dichotomy. Vibe coding, automatic coding and coding is clearly on a spectrum. And I can employ all the shades during a single project.

I've built something very similar (also based on triangle meshes, but in TS), and while it wouldn't work for say 3D printing, my target is game object modeling. I guess people have specific use cases in mind when referring to &quo

Either drop the carousel or make it much, much more obvious that there's an animation going on.

Hmm, Rails, I wonder if the UI will work well. I open https://railsui.com/components . I click on the different components. They switch to a random component after a while. My confidence in Rails for UI stays were it was :)

There doesn’t seem to be any relationship between Handmade and “not using LLMs” (besides one that can be argued if you believe LLM-aided software is worse in size or performance).

What’s up with the Zizkovska tower highlight?

The original submission addresses this point fairly well. (No, but you can use AI to get around that)

For comparison, I remember doing 250 PRs in 2.5 months of my internship at FB (working on a fullstack web app). So that’s 2-4x faster. What’s interesting is that it’s Boris, not an intern (although the LLM can play an intern well).

At the very least I think what matters here is the process. The same exact process could be implemented via, for example, issue labels. It would not be hard for maintainers to search for issues with label "bug", which only maintai

There are differences, but this is oversimplified, and market is “mostly” working. You need more money in California, for transportation, for health care. The standard is bigger houses (bigger everything) in Cali. Life might be richer, in s

He’s writing about China and US. Sure, you can call Europe more diverse, but still it makes sense to draw some generalizations, and I don’t think he’s far from the mark (having myself lived in EU, UK and US).

If you're subtracting cube A from cube B, and you position cube A such that there's no overlap between the cubes, you can't even see cube A. But you can imagine that when I place my cursor in an editor onto the code that gene

I already grew up in a middle class family, but I had a fellow intern at FB whose father used to smuggle furs into Soviet Russia. I really loved that juxtaposition. Nothing new under the sun, but knowing him personally it hit me more :)

This is important and should be a given. But the more interesting challenge is to highlight the object you’re editing (where your cursor is). It’s not clear even how to exactly visualize it (it could be inside subtract of union of subtract

From my testing, the CSG operations, with post-processing, don’t produce watertight meshes. And being focused on printing, it doesn’t support different colors for the CSG operands. My use case is animation/games, so I’m reimplementing

I didn’t write it for parent lol. I guess I should be more careful with “you”.

In case you’re not well versed in Python typecheckers, in the mypy vs Pyright example, Pyright can be configured to complain about not annotating the collection (and so both typecheckers will yell at the code as written). TypeScript takes t

Would a human perform very differently? A human who must obey orders (like maybe they are paid to follow the prompt). With some "magnitude of work" enforced at each step. I'm not sure there's much to learn here, besides

There are many alternatives, OP lists some (banners, modals), but also inline messages, button states, next steps screens - not just modals. There are also a lot of professional guis (think medical software), that use no toasts.

Toast pros: - once set up, very easy to build, no “design” required Toast cons: - easy to miss - at risk of layout issues (overlaying other information) The tradeoff is real, but if the resources allow, I’d drop all toasts.

At least the description is not at all about building an adtech platform inside OpenAI, it's about optimizing their marketing spend (which being a big brand, makes sense). There are a bunch of people from FB at OpenAI, so they could st

I like the “did it improve or regress” angle. I hope it’s not controversial if I say that in the Apple world, Liquid Glass is, if not the first, certainly the worst regression. And I think this could have been predicted if you agreee with O

I see at least two problems with smart guns though: 1. Temper resistance is not temper impossibility 2. If a tag allows tracking, bad actors might track good actors?

I could not locate credible evidence of a major firearm manufacturer that completely refrains from selling into the U.S. civilian market. (ChatGPT) Glock, Koch, Taurus, even Czech Zbrojovka all sell to US. Kalashnikov can’t atm, but also pr

This might be useful (maybe) to the author: I am in a group (probably small, but I don’t think negligeble) that gave up on Warp because it doesn’t support standard or custom command completions [0] Some lesson must surely be drawn from this

Documentation tooling for Python (especially reference docs) is… abysmal. Sphinx is the king, with no markdown support. Pdoc would be nice, it the authors didn’t reject reasonable additions, leading to forks. And mkdocs is not simple to set
