It was common for people to vandalize and throw them in bodies of water for a while before people got used to the idea. I still occasionally see some repurposed from time to time

I often find that a lot of models will call the `--help` flag to figure out the commands and arguments nowadays. If I use a cli repeatedly, I'll generally ask it to create a skill

Makes sense. I had to learn how to add / subtract before I could use a calculator. Note: This policy doesn't seem to apply to high school

It looks like this also undercuts the already absurdly inexpensive Deepseek Flash in pricing. Wild.

> But more than 800,000 students attend a program that would likely fail the measure, according to department data. Roughly half of those students are enrolled in for-profit schools, which already have a reputation for shortchanging students.

> Most traditional, four-year bachelor programs fare well, with roughly 1% failing the earnings test. When these programs do fail, it's often in areas like theater, music and studio art.

My knee jerk reaction was to suspect some kind of academic purge, but this honestly seems to mostly affect schools that were kinda scammy to begin with.

In practice, I could also see this resulting in people double majoring in art if they were truly passionate

Ah, today I learned

> That's why cloud providers all use mini-VMs to run customer containers (e.g. AWS Fargate) or force the customer to manage their own VMs that run the containers.

This is only partially true. Google's runtime (gvisor) does not share a kernel with the host machine, but still runs inside of a container.

At this point, there are more AI coding agents announced every week than Javascript frameworks, but to be honest, I'm here for it.

Some good stuff in here. I had no idea about AsyncIterators before this article, but I've done similar things with generators in the past.

A couple of things seem borrowed from Bun (unless I didn't know about them before?). This seems to be the silver lining from the constant churn in the Javascript ecosystem

It looks like the number of dispensaries / smoke shops that have opened up in Texas have finally reached the critical mass to unlock enough sweet, sweet tax / lobby revenue.

It's only a matter of time before more states realize how much money they're leaving on the table without legalization.

I think the person you're replying to is trying to make the point that people are generally OK with this, as long as it does not have an adverse impact on their personal lives. The hacker cloning the hard drive is likely to leverage this data to defraud or blackmail them, but Google et. al are not.

The "aha" moment for me came when I started writing a ticket for a junior engineer to work on. However, to satisfy my own curiosity, I gave the ticket to Cursor, and was able to get 90% of the way there (implementing a small feature based on a Figma design).

As it turns out, a well written ticket makes a pretty good input into an LLM. However, it has the added benefit of having my original thought process well documented, so sometimes I go through the process of writing a ticket / subtask, even if I ended up giving it to an AI tool in the end.

I have been super happy using Coolify to self host automatic preview branches from pull requests. I'm not sure if it's necessarily mature enough for me to trust it with production loads, but it's extremely easy to get started with the Github integration and wildcard subdomains

Considering that the article links back to this post, the simplest explanation might be that the author changed the title at some point. If this were a larger publication, I would have probably assumed an A/B test

They do. I'm guessing there was a bug in finding a place to safely pull over?

Between purchasing chat.com, and this new 800 number, I sometimes feel like OpenAI is really channeling that 90s dot com era energy.

I would envision such a system to be based purely on odometer reading since that might be easiest from a logistics perspective

Unless this person is literally Santa Claus, I suspect a lot of parents might question the motives of a grown man sending gifts to their children without their knowledge.

> Tolls were reinstated on the bridge in 2019 to finance other road projects in the area

:-\

> At the same time, however, my experience over the past few months suggests that for system programming, LLMs almost never provide acceptable solutions if you are already an experienced programmer.

In one off tasks where someone is not enough of an expert to know its flaws, and such expertise is not required, "the marvel is not that the bear dances well, but that the bear dances at all".

Would you say...your Java is getting rusty?

Am I the only person who would sometimes work from home before the pandemic? I don't understand the need to take an extreme position one way or the other.

I'm not sure if I understand the advantage here. Aren't container images trivial to export? I've done this many times as part of build pipelines

Electric bikes are great! During peak rush hour traffic, it's actually faster for me to commute using my bike than driving down the freeway.

The only thing that prevents me from riding my ebike more often is the irrational fear that I'll get my bike stolen as soon as I park it on the street.

> Last summer I tried using the app again and my first reaction was “omfg why do people even use this thing, it can be so much better”. But people didn’t see it that way.

This part resonated with me quite a bit. However, I've often found that a certain percentage of these people are sometimes willing to pay for support or having specific features added. Especially when using your software can save the organization a tangible dollar amount.

I've personally been on both sides of this equation.

I'm a huge fan of Cloudflare in general, but sometimes I'm a bit uncomfortable with how much critical infrastructure is increasingly consolidated into a few single entities.

On average, the S&P 500 has historically returned roughly 9.8% annually. In 2017, the S&P 500's total return was over 19.7%. But for 2018, it was minus 6.2%.

You could easily achieve similar returns in an S&P 500 index fund.

I don't think that's actually true. My Volvo was around ~$5k cheaper (plus free plane tickets to Sweden) when I picked it up from the factory. This also takes into account the complimentary shipment to my local dealer in the United States. I've been told that BMW has a similar European Delivery program.

> You don't really need jQuery anymore, due to the browser APIs being far more mutually compatible and useful than a decade ago

You say that, but from time to time I still discover slight variations in browser behavior or bugs that were opened 8 years ago that would've been avoided if I had just used jQuery. Most modern frameworks will abstract away these differences, but sometimes you'll need to access the DOM directly.
