This seems like an AI chatbot would work just as well for you then, since it achieves the same end goal of not having to personally wade through FAQs and such.

I find LLMs are excellent at finding relevant documentation and giving advice, as long as the issue isn’t overly niche, but humans tend to fail there as well.

Perhaps the gemini-cli bot arguing with itself is taking its toll

Couldn't you reset the password since you have access to the email address?

Haha I have to admit I didn’t watch the whole video.

In which case my comment still stands for those who also haven’t watched the whole video, which is probably a fair amount of people

Running the hot water tap beforehand assumes that the dishwasher is hooked up to the hot water in the first place, which isn’t common everywhere.

Where I live this feature is called hot fill, I believe, and a lot of dishwashers don’t even support it. For those that do support its still generally not recommended to use it since the dishwasher now can’t do any rinsing with cold water, which is not only wasteful but I’ve heard the hot water can damage the water softener in your dishwasher.

But if you do hook it up to hot water (which is a lot more common in the US, I think) this makes a lot of sense.

To be fair, I’ve had this issue with MacBooks as well in the past, although not yet with my M3 pro

This is true when using a UTC offset as it has any potential DST already applied, so it can’t adapt to changes like that.

But if you say I have an appointment at 2026-09-07 15:00:00 in the timezone America/New_York I think that also accounts for future rule changes of that timezone.

I’m no expert on this matter but I believe that’s similar to how the new JS temporal API handles such things

If English isn’t your first language it can be very hard to understand someone if they have an accent you’re not used to.

Oh absolutely, but simply for typed arrays it should suffice

We used to have a lot of classes like that, but for us PHPStan is sufficient and we effectively have generics now through static analysis warning us of improper usage of types in our CI and IDEs.

Is this not suitable for you?

Love the simplicity of this

And to be clear, by bluesky R&D you’re not referring to Bluesky, the Twitter/X alternative, are you?

Use cases like reverse image search come to mind

The article mentions a security.txt[1] which doesn't seem to contain an email address but it does contain a link[2] to a disclosure program, I'm guessing that's how they submitted all their findings?

Not saying you're wrong, but in this instance it might be a regulation specific to Germany since the site works just fine from the Netherlands.

I’ve spoken with a CTO who was against them because they add too much overhead, partly because they’re too late in the process.

He encouraged his team to discuss an approach beforehand or to work on something together.

Other than that they had a lot of tests and a very structured codebase, I guess it worked for them.

Why are apps that require accounts against the guidelines? Don't lots of apps require accounts such as Google Calendar or 1Password?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean, I'm genuinely interested.

Actually, I find airpods to be very usable as bluetooth earbuds for all kinds of devices, these days I mostly use them behind my desktop PC when playing games and they work just fine. When I pop them out of the case they automatically connect to my PC just like they would an iPhone or other apple device. They won't automatically switch to the PC like they would for apple devices but they also won't just switch from the PC so I don't mind. Taking them out doesn't pause media but the play/pause controls do work.

I do think that most people without an iPhone won't buy them so they're essentially still bought as iPhone accessories, but they don't have to be!

I agree about the watch though, that's definitely an iPhone accessory.

> Your dishwasher, wherever in the world you may be, will start up by using whatever water it can get for an initial rinse of the dishes, and it will measure how dirty the water is after this initial rinse.

> Normally this water will be tepid. But if you make it hot by running your hot tap first, the hot water will rinse more dirt off the dishes than tepid water ...

I might be misunderstanding you, but this definitely doesn't apply everywhere.

I don't know how this works in the rest of the world, but in the Netherlands at least my dishwasher is only hooked up to the cold water, running my tap will have no effect on the temperature of the water my dishwasher receives.

I think there is probably some selection bias here, you know people in those situations that don't have any problems because they wouldn't have bought those cars if they would have problems. But I don't want to make any assumptions about the people you know, some people are also just less bothered by these things or care enough about driving an EV that they take it in stride.

I'm sure that when you want 100% of car owners to switch to EVs there are those that will run into issues. Like people that work from home and can't charge at an office, or when there's no charging spot available when they're out shopping and they really don't have time this week to go charge their car somewhere. Not to mention the fact that charging at home is likely a lot cheaper than charging from public infrastructure (I don't own an EV so I don't actually know how the prices compare)

I'm not saying that these are insurmountable problems, or that some of them won't get solved along the way (like if we end up getting a surplus of chargers at public parking spots), but there are some genuine disadvantages to owning an EV when compared to an ICE.

I personally wouldn't want to buy an EV until I have my own driveway and can charge my car at home, but with current housing prices (and EV prices) I don't see this happening for a while.

Where is the VW Golf 15k EUR?

I bought an 8 year old Golf with over 100k km over 2 years ago and paid around 12k EUR for it, new it was around 32k.

For context this is in the Netherlands, I do believe cars are a bit more expensive here but I can't believe a new Golf would cost 15k anywhere.

To be clear I'm not calling you a liar or anything, I'm genuinely curious if there are such major discrepancies between countries.

ChatGPT thinks the story you’re referring to is “a meeting with Medusa” by Arthur C. Clarke [1]

The plot summary on Wikipedia doesn’t mention the staggered shells, but it does sound like this might be right [2]

They do mention that subdomains can't be used for tracking in the introduction to Private Click Measurement [1]

But I have to be honest that I can't quite wrap my head around how this is supposed to work.

I believe adding a site to your home screen isn't opting in to notifications, but opting in to allowing the site to request notifications, which would then require another opt-in.

Wow this is amazing:

Could you write me a poem that uses every letter of the alphabet and features a rhino?

  A rhino, big and strong,
  Charging through the jungle all day long.
  Determined and fierce, with a horn so grand,
  Every animal knows to stay out of its land.
  Fiercely defending its territory and mate,
  Great power and speed, it's hard to relate.
  Highly intelligent, with a memory to match,
  It's a formidable beast, and no simple catch.
  Just a single glance, and you'll see its might,
  Keen senses alert, ready for a fight.
  Lumbering and massive, yet graceful and fair,
  Mother Nature's masterpiece, beyond compare.
  Nimble and quick, when it needs to be,
  On the hunt for food, it's as fast as can be.
  Perfectly adapted, to its environment and place,
  Quietly moving, with stealth and grace.
  Rare and majestic, a treasure to behold,
  Strong and resilient, a sight to behold.
  Truly magnificent, in every way,
  Unforgettable and awe-inspiring, it's hard to say.
  Venerable and wise, with a history to tell,
  Worth protecting, and loving as well.
  eXtraordinary and unique, a marvel to see,
  Year after year, it's a true mystery.
  Zealous and proud, it roams free.
  A rhino, a wonder of the natural world, for all to see.

Not specifically stackoverflow, but here is an answer on stackexchange [1] listing many of the parts that make up their stack.

I'm assuming stackoverflow runs as a part of all this, and not separately.

But the poachers would rather breed for elephants with tusks, that's the whole point of their poaching after all.

I feel like I don't really know enough about the specifics of natural selection or evolution to have a strong opinion on this.

The poaching is definitely not natural, so it feels like this is not natural selection.

On the other hand, no one is deliberately breeding for this in any way, it's purely a side effect of these circumstances, which does feel more natural.

You could just view the poachers as an environmental hazard to tusked elephants, in which case this would be a perfect example of natural selection.

Right? I'm a web developer and work a lot with PHP.

PHP's de facto package manager is Composer and it's very simple and clear in how it works:

Your composer.json states your dependencies and their version constraints.

Your composer.lock (also a json file) states the actual versions that should be installed, based off your composer.json.

"composer install" installs the exact versions from your composer.lock file, "composer update [package]" updates the lock file based on your constraints.

With npm this doesn't seem to be as straight-forward, sometimes I run "npm install" and the package-lock.json ends up changing, I definitely don't consider npm to be safe.
