Because if they have users in Mississippi they are doing “interstate commerce” and a federal court has the ability and jurisdiction to compel them to pay those fines.

I wouldn’t say “full of”, but like other mostly uncensored social media sites like Twitter, it’s definitely there if you’re looking for it (and sometimes even when you’re not).

I truly don’t mean this as an insult, but it always catches me off guard that people are still using VB in 2025.

There once was a career that’s in shambles

Replaced with a technology that rambles

Its advocates thought

This stuff is so hot

But in the end their brains were all scrambled

My work has offered us various tools. Copilot, Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT. All of them had the same behavior for me. They would produce some code that looks like it would work but hallucinate a lot of things like what parameters a function takes or what libraries to import for functionality.

In the end, every tool I tried felt like I was spending a significant amount of time saying “no that won’t work” just to get a piece of code that would build, let alone fit for the task. There was never an instance where it took less time or produced a better solution than just building it myself, with the added bonus that building it myself meant I understood it better.

In addition to that I got into this line of work because I like solving problems. So even if it was as fast and as reliable as me I’ve changed my job from problem solver to manager, which is not a trade I would make.

I am so glad someone else has this same experience as me because everyone else seems all in and I feel like I’m staring at an emperor without clothes.

This seems like the logical conclusion of move fast and break things + regulation is evil culture. Most regulation is there for a reason and most safety rules are written in blood. You don’t get to pretend that’s not true because they would slow you down. You’re not built different.

A thinly disguised cult manifesto.

Yeah who could know why. It's a mystery.

Because that’s what the world needs right now.

Also Florida is FLAT. Kansas looks downright hilly by comparison. So there’s no natural elevation to break up wind patterns moving across the state.

> I have delivered many pet projects I always wanted to build and now focus in the operation of them.

We probably have different personalities but the former is the only part I care about. It’s the operation that bores me.

Not from what I see. At my job we have a range of AI skeptics to enthusiasts, and I don’t think I’ve seen anything showing a productivity gap between them be so why would I expect it from people I’m hiring?

Same. I gave up after 30 minutes of correcting it when it kept suggesting code to use that was completely invalid.

In my opinion? Of course it’s gambling. Where I would define gambling as wagering money on a predefined event for a predefined payout and little to no payout for the event not occurring. In regards to where they got into it with the CFTC (essentially being able to bet on elections) they pitched it as essentially the same as other forecast markets that are legal wherein you’d make the wager as a hedge against other financial hardships. Bet on the thing you don’t want to happen and either you’re happy it didn’t or you get paid if it does. Though in that way insurance is a bit like gambling.

This boils down, as far as I can tell, is the CFTC has preliminarily been told that its authority to exclude these kinds of contracts only apply to “gaming” and not “gambling” (where gaming involves being a participant in a game of stakes). So Kalshi is trying to say that essentially supersedes state laws. I doubt that will hold water in the long run, but you never know until a court rules.

Door handles without a mechanical fallback should be illegal.

I think anyone who is innocent but in jail probably misses the right to a fair trial.

So having a low crime rate is more important than keeping innocent people out of jail?

The Cybertruck is nothing like the Delorean. One was the vision of a man with admitted drug use to create a stainless steel vehicle that turned out to be very unreliable. Oh wait. Nevermind.

Yeah there’s a pretty clear distinction between the NBA (and even college somewhat) from before Steph Curry and after. It’s been as revolutionary as the addition of the line in the first place and the shot clock.

I have some bad news for you on what MacOS and iOS are originally based on.

    So it's early Monday morning (well - early for me, I'm not really a morning person), and I'd love to have some good excuse for why I didn't do the 6.14 release yesterday on my regular Sunday afternoon release schedule.

    I'd like to say that some important last-minute thing came up and delayed things.

    But no. It's just pure incompetence.
    
    Because absolutely nothing last-minute happened yesterday, and I was just clearing up some unrelated things in order to be ready for the merge window. And in the process just entirely forgot to actually ever cut the release. D'oh.

Relatable

Between the Taiwan Strait and China's aggression in the South China Sea towards the Philippines, I'm not particularly inclined to accept their understanding of international maritime law.

It is their original play. However I think this is just “Chrome is going to do this anyway and we’re not about to write custom code to work around it.”

I don’t know what it is but that site jumps around constantly on my phone. Can’t read it because none of the text sits still.

I wouldn’t either as I’m pretty utilitarian. But it does matter to a portion of people and definitely matters to Apple from marketing perspective.

I know why Apple didn't design it: it looks ugly as crap. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's worse or unfit for their purpose (though I have thoughts about adding MORE weight to your neck).

But he asks why his friend could make it and Apple wouldn't have done the same is for the simple reason that it's ugly.

That sounds fine in theory, but who decides which teams are remote? How do you avoid a situation where someone comes on a remote team and gets the rug pulled out when someone else decides that team is now in person?

I can only speak for my company, but we interview every qualified candidate. Sure we may get 100s of applicants per position but 90% easily don’t read the job description and are just blasting out a resume trying to get hits.

The remaining ones will at least get a phone screen and if they have relevant knowledge and experience will proceed.

I think hybrid is fine if they mean "if you want to have an office, fine. if you want to wfh, fine."

Which is how I took their comment.
