As someone that recently went through an introductory Japanese course in Japan, I don't find this much different than how it's taught. Or maybe I'm missing something? It seems like the article is trying to make the case that

I don't use VSCode, but I've heard that the default model isn't that great. I'd make sure you're using something like Opus 4.5/4.6. I'm not familiar enough with VSCode to know if it's somehow worse th

Why is it silly? Is it reasonable to hold the opinion that DOGE should not have been given access to these systems (note: this doesn't mean that the opposite view isn't also reasonable)? If it's a reasonable position to hold,

I think it might actually be worse. I don't think the judiciary can enforce any of their court orders.

It's because people ended up with models that were thousands of lines and difficult to reason about. Out of curiosity, did you end up running into this issue and how did you deal with it?

If you don't mind me asking: Do you see a solution, technical or otherwise, to this problem? My guess is there are limits to knowledge transfer that's difficult, if not impossible, to overcome.

Good code to me usually comes down to things like state management, code organization, ... Having code that reads like prose isn't a high priority to me, but I'm familiar with that style and I can see why people like it. I just wi

I think every subreddit should have created a community on a reddit alternative, like lemmy, kbin, etc. and actively promoted it as a "temporary" replacement. This way, Reddit waiting out the blackout risks losing marketshare to t

I'm not affiliated with Gimp and don't know why they didn't support fat binaries in the end; but I did look into compiling Gimp as a Universal Binary on my own at one point. My experience matches those of another comment, whi

Getting a Silicon build of Gimp wasn't actually that difficult. I know at least one other person besides myself that had gotten a build working from source and published how to do it in some form. The problem is that the CI system Gimp

The majority are simply going to follow popular opinion regardless of the merits, and developer efficiency is often not that important. I also think the efficiency gains are bigger for smaller and inexperienced teams. Also, people are getti

True liberation is non-attachment. By attaching yourself to doing something that you love, you may be setting yourself up for disappointment. Is this really what I love? Is my solution actually helping anyone? Will I have to make compromise

I've never been involved in the game industry but it sounds believable to me. It's not a given that having a CS degree means a person can code, which is one of the reasons we code test in interviews. And I imagine the game industr

I think there are ways to do this correctly but it has to be more static pages with JS enhancement and/or making certain sections standalone "single page apps". It sounds like you're halfway in-between and that leads to

I think a core problem is that the incentives are to give a quick diagnosis and prescription, and if that diagnosis is wrong, move on to the next diagnosis / prescription, repeat. This is in contrast to my experience with a functional

I do think it's important to think critically and not just do something for the sake of doing it. Testing well is not easy to get right. If your tests are constantly changing, then the tests are probably too coupled with the implementa

My guess for the small companies that don't hire is that it's the incentives. If my outcomes as the hiring person are that a bad hire is a large negative, a no hire is a very slight negative, and a good hire is a slight positive (

Would you be willing to provide examples of specific issues? I don't want to assume I know where the difficulty lies, and I'm interested in seeing where people have issues.

I still reach for Rails a lot for prototyping. If the application can leverage Rails core functionality and the bigger gems in the ecosystem, I find it the quickest to prototype in, and the point of a prototype to me is to optimize for spee

One thing 37Signals is very good at is limiting the scope of what they're trying to accomplish and market those limitations as a strength. Instead of doing that, it sounds like they tried to compete directly on features against competi
