The corporation did not do this to her. It was a two party agreement. She bears just as much blame for the agreement as the corporation. She entered into it willingly. And that does and should have consequences. Morally speaking I think

There is nuance here though. Taking a step back and learning from an experience is something to be celebrated.

I understand how people can get into these fatalist outlooks from experience. I just refuse to lock myself into them. And because I've refused to do so, every once in a while I have success and make the work environment just that littl

I am absolutely certain the world isn't just. I'm also absolutely certain the world can't get just unless you let people suffer consequences for their decisions. It's the only way people can world.

There is a single standard committee though. There is really nothing stopping them from shipping tooling that can do the conversions for people. The number of vendors isn't really the problem here. The problem is that the committee shi

There is an alternative way make the necessary point here.. Let it go through with comments to the effect that you can not attest to the quality or efficacy of the code and let the organization suffer the consequences of this foray into LLM

I'm every bit as immersed in this as you are. I've been developing my own custom claude code plugins that allow me to delegate more and more the agents. But the one thing the agent is not reliably doing for me is making sound arch

So what you are a saying is that you removed the people who can make the decisions that keep your software maintainable and kept the people who will slowly over time cause your software to become less maintainable? I'm not sure that tr

OpenAI and quite honestly the others think they are in a race to AGI not the bottom. That's why they aren't concerning themselves with moats or cost. This is quite simply a massive bet that we've already cracked AGI and the r

There are a number of features and teamsizes that they provide where you have to pay money. Most company users are going to end up paying them money. But also their emphasis on P2P connections means their costs are quite low. It doesn'

You can get deterministic output if just turn the temperature all the way down. The problem is that you usually get really bad results, deterministically. It turns out the randomness helps in finding solutions.

I have almost exactly this in my own caddyfile :-D The order of the items in the regex is a little different but mostly the same items. I just pulled them from my web access logs over time and update it every once in a while.

Git storage is just a merkle tree. It's a technology that's been around forever and was simultaneously chosen by more than one vcs technology around the same time. It's incredibly effective so it makes sense that it would get

That is my understanding from the outside as well. The core question here should, I think, be whether the adoption and spread of clearer semantics via Rust is worth the potential for confusion and misunderstandings at the boundaries between

Not sure if it introduces a tiered experience or not. But reading the article it appears that the Rust devs advocated for an api that is clearer in it's semantics with the tradeoff that now understanding how it interacts with C code re

I think you might be missing the posters point. He agrees with you on nearly every point you are making. He is however expanding on that saying that the problem is something of a self-own by the combination of science, science reporting, an

Do you have actual sources for this? Because the other people commenting about how the newer library removes most of the concerns explains this better than an unsubstantiated speculation about promoting AVIF.

I'm sorry you feel like it's out of reach of so many. We definitely had to sacrifice a number of things to make it happen. It's not like it was necessarily easy. Unless you are in the unfortunate position of being an only par

I agree, the point of making usage monitored early on is so that you can train your child in what to do when they encounter stuff online. As that training has occured then you can begin to loosen the restriction and give them more freedom.

A five year old is not prepared to engage online with privacy. They have not had the necessary training yet. They will not get that training unless you are there to show them how to negotiate that world. They will not magically learn how to

I don't know if this works for anyone other than our family but when we were raising our kids we solved this by the simple of expedient that gaming and computer use was done with us as parents present. Full stop. It was not a solo acti

The original reuters article quotes Meta as claiming that making them harder to find by removing them from the system. This article doesn't offer any evidence to suggest that Meta is lying. This is lazy and poor reporting as far as I&#

You can have more than one community. Find some new ones. Look deliberately for a different kind of community. Take dance or art classes at your community college. Join a sport club. There are lots of options.

I wholeheartedly agree. I raised 5 kids 1 to 1.5 years apart before there were iPads or iPhones. We went to restaurants with them regularly and they did fine. We had the occasional issue but not often. More often we would get compliments on

Sure, if you don't model the error domain correctly you will leak stuff that maybe you shouldn't leak. But I'm not sure that this is worse than just not exposing the types of errors that you are handling. Your example is inte

by zaphar 10mo ago
I agree that it's a balancing act. I just don't think you get to abdicate from doing that balancing act and getting the balance wrong has consequences just like getting the balancing act wrong in your non error data model.

what you're describing about errors bubbling up to the top layer, is what happens with the overwhelming majority of errors in my experience. I agree that this is what happens in practice for most code that I read and have to

by zaphar 10mo ago
This is an interesting perspective. I usually don't try to imagine how someone should handle the error. Instead I try to indicate the different types of errors that could occur and what type of information needs to be included to be us

by zaphar 10mo ago
If your error domain has only one useful category why not just create an error type with a useful message and be done with it. Why use anyhow at all? You are essentially saying the error domain is small so the work is tiny anyway. anyhow se
