Very nice collection!

this is incredible, thank you for your service

I disagree, requiring code review for docs changes sounds great but in my experience it's extremely hard to get a human to review docs changes. Either you get a rubber stamp with no real review (zero added value, adds useless friction) or you spend days bugging people to actually review your changes. All for docs!

The counter-argument i envision is: "update your docs and code at the same time in the same PR!" That works great, until you want to document something that isn't precisely tied to a single piece of code. In fact I think the most useful docs describe high level systems rather than being associated with specific pieces of code. Use comments for that; in contrast, docs should be easily editable by anyone at all times, otherwise they never get updated (an evergreen problem in any scenario).

There's some sort of browser automation software that defaults to this resolution and it's used by bots a lot. I used to work for a company that built a bot filter for form submissions largely based around this one data point.

Not defending these tools, but one reason these might not be upstreamed is because it would negatively impact vendor margins, and they have no incentive to save their users money

I see it now, thank you

> Researchers estimate roughly half of human crashes go unreported, and up to one-third of injury accidents, because drivers hope to avoid insurance price hikes. That potentially skews safety numbers in favor of human drivers.

I am not understanding the phrasing of this section. If humans under-report crashes, and autonomous vehicles accurately report crashes, then that would mean the rates are more favorable towards autonomous vehicles rather than humans, right?

If my tree kept a log of all the activities that led to it being a tree, I wouldn't mind if that log included "Spear and Jackson". To me the closer analogy with software would be if the final web app interface was stamped with "built with Claude".

I'm not sure i see it as an ad. "Sent from my iPhone" is an ad because the iPhone is not a meaningful part of sending the email. Claude is a meaningful part of the commit though if you're using it, so to me it's more like clarity or transparency than an advertisement.

Most comments I read were positive, what kind of negative sentiment were you picking up in these comments?

What's misleading? Wouldn't the session corroborate that it was only used for the commit?

Nice, way to be in both threads

Related to the form of the article rather than the content: what purpose do pull quotes serve in an online publication? Especially on phones they are so goofy, you read the pull quote and then one or two lines later you read it again. I get it for scanability in newspapers but I think it should be deprecated in online publishing.

That is interesting and I didn't know that, though the commenter said air coming out of their vents almost 50 degrees below the outdoor air temp, so I'm tempted to think they weren't referring to the outlet temperature.

Not trying to shame you but...50 degrees? Do you live in Phoenix and keep your home at 60 degrees?

I don't think losing faith in the value of your job is the same a losing your job due to automation.

At least we finally answered the Mad Max question "Who killed the world?"

I was hoping for potato chips

What am I missing by not using a terminal multiplexer?

My heart bleeds for the monospace font developers who have to design this glyph.

Good faith question: what would you do with this information if you had it? For example, do you have a systematic audit plan for github accounts that you execute before using a project?

Hard agree, I would never use a totally different piece of software to run prod vs dev or local.

It always amazes me the things that other people get really amped up about. I've never in my life felt anything at all about cut and paste.

I know this is probably a bad question but it says that this language would be good for C developers who like Go's safety. Isn't Go's safety achieved by its garbage collection, which is eliminated in this language? What elements of Go are safer than C which would be preserved in this subset language?

Lol I guess. I think there's a massive chasm between being ignorant of your effect on someone else and actively inflicting pain, but I'm sure I won't convince you that this is a meaningful difference if you don't already believe it. I think you could argue that tons of modern human activities cause negative experiences for other people, I don't think that means the people doing those things are terrible people. Something as simple as watering a lawn could be construed as "not caring about other people" due to failure to conserve public resources, but I don't get a lot of person benefit from cursing every person with a green lawn in the summer.

> Did you really think people did exhaust mods purely to torment everyone around them?

I didn't, but the OP wrote:

> So it is about subjecting OTHER people to his car

So my comment was in response to that. I don't think people should ignore the suffering they cause for others, but to me it's different if the motivation is to cause pain vs bringing joy to like-minded people.

I also dislike loud cars, but I've come to accept that the motivation of loud car owners is probably to gain kudos from other loud car lovers, rather than to inflict pain on us normies. One time I remember being on my bicycle and a kid car revved past me and another cyclist. In my head I though "what an asshole" but the cyclist next to me shouted "Sick!!!" I'm not really defending the loud noise, but I think it's useful to shift perspective a bit and understand it is probably not an act of intentional violence (though it may be unintentional violence).

Never hurts to have a reasonable, non-alarmist take on why the status quo is probably more durable than the hype men would have you believe. More of this please.

By far the most satisfying piece I've read in this saga. Favorite line:
