I've been going to the gym for the past year after exclusively running in solitude. I am still introverted at the gym .. it's sort of my time. But I do appreciate overhearing the conversations which occur.

It's been nice to hear 60-something retirees chat about their health, quitting alcohol, sorting out the pickleball schedule, and sometimes politics (although honestly much more rare relative to the others listed)

I love the community some folks create in the gym.

Not sure I understand, wouldn't permissions prevent this? The user runs with `--dangerously-skip-permissions` so they can expect wild behaviour. They should run with permissions and a ruleset.

LLMs: Look, I can write code! neovim users: hold my beer, multicursor is here!

You do a search/replace which has a similar function, although applied differently.

I keep thinking this war will both be written down as one of the Trump administration worst mistakes while also being the catalyst for a clean(er) energy revolution. We can.. do it all, but there has been a lack of will and incentive. These incentives are strong.

I think he's learning how to effectively use the tools we now have and is sharing his experience in a thoughtful way. Madness is a stretch

We resolved this by creating a separate context for the lifecycle of a chat/turn so if the user leaves the page, the process continues on the server. UI calls an RPC to fetch in progress turn, which allows it to resume, or if it's done, simply render the full turn.

Wasn't that complex!

This may be where AI coding tools unlock us. Being able to build tooling against novel concepts that change how we approach reading and writing code. I like it!

I read these articles about the terrible shape a country, place, generation is in. Then I see real people out and about, of all ages, enjoying restaurants and spending money. Malls, parking lots, restaurants are always packed in my city. I speak to real families and we are growing together, and everything feels fine? Yeah, people are stretched in some ways, but they figure it out.

Is this a K-shaped economy thing? Am I simply surrounding myself and observing the people who "made it"? Is there truly a whole section of the population not leaving their homes and not having sex? I find it hard to believe it's the majority.

Narrow minded response. Perhaps it was cost, availability of housing?

The neighbourhood I speak of is objectively quite walkable (per my other points). It's just the shape of the city I live in: It contains a number of these arterials which glue the city (for vehicles) together. Less so for humans.

I'm trying to raise confident, independent kids. It is exceptionally more difficult to allow them to play outside on their own, walk to the grocery store, etc, for mainly two reasons:

1. There are no other kids outside. We live in a neighbourhood with many young families, at all age ranges (littles to teen). We rarely see kids outside, and if we do, it's mainly kids walking with their parents somewhere (eg to the local grocery store)

This is a walkable neighbourhood 5km from city centre of a city of 500,000. The same applies to other neighbourhoods even closer to the city, those known as "family friendly". I do runs through these neighbourhoods and they are ghost towns.

When my kid has friends over, they can run to the park up the street (600m) and play together. I'm not worried, as they are together. Sometimes other kids will show up and join them. I think it's a sign that kids are inside, not sure what to do: they crave play with others their age.

2. Large, speeding vehicles.

We live in an area where we can walk to a few smaller grocers and restaurants, which is fantastic. My kids only need to cross a local retail strip to get to most of these. The crossing is two car lengths, and I feel pretty good about this. There are bike lanes which act as a buffer to the sidewalk as well and vehicles can't travel fast.

Now if my kid wants to go to their friends house? They have to cross two arterials. These are four lane roads with fast moving traffic, uncontrolled signals, lots of road rage, fast cuts on corners, etc.

My kids are gaining confidence and the skills in navigating these tough roads, but I struggle with the transition to full independence for this particular area. That one mistake can end it all.

My kids are 9 and 5, for reference. The five year old is still attached to me, but the oldest is beginning to crave more independence.

Why is output falling? Are there other countries taking the market share? Or is there more to it?

This seems to go against the principle of the product (see endless scroll)

If you missed a day of news, whatever was really important will re-surface in today's news (major world incident)

Otherwise, perhaps what was missed is noise!

It seems fairly low effort (from a cost perspective) to deploy and maintain this feature, so I think it's a great way to get the Kagi name out there, which may perhaps lead to a few new users!

Sort of like a loss leader, eg the Costco hot dog :-)

I don't have a strong opinion here, but I did want to say thank you for your service! I was previously running a pi-hole but switched my family and my household to NextDNS. Great $20/home spent

Love these tiny, locally focused ideas!

If I learned OCaml, what type of prospects would I have?

Fairly seasoned generalist, mostly writing Go these days. Lots of plumbing with LLMs etc.

Would love to learn something new but am driven by a goal in mind (ie OCaml exposes me to "X industry")

Is that a thing?

I think OP is being sarcastic, throwing a hint to how popular TikTok (and thus short videos) are over long form content

Honestly this is why I prefer Claude. I find ChatGPT very much a "yes man" and when I read this prompt instruction, I didn't think I'd need to add it for my use with Claude.

> Fast forward to today, and that joy of coding is decreasing rapidly. Well, I’m a manager these days, so there’s that… But even when I do get technical, I usually just open Cursor and prompt my way out of 90% of it. It’s way more productive, but more passive as well.

Dude's an engineering manager who codes maybe 5% of the time and his joy is decreasing. AI is not the problem, it's being an engineering manager.

Love the blog aesthetic, and the same goes to all your friends (linked at the bottom).

Just fixed a bug where this behaviour bit us. Nice change, although I feel structtags harm us more than they provide.

My phone is set to DND, but I have exceptions for parental friends, school, WhatsApp (as we use it exclusively for parent groups)

The rest can stay quiet. Takes some effort to get everything fine tuned but worth it

How does the US do this? In Canada, everything is so splintered. Open Data is available at various levels (municipal, provincial), but it's in different formats, many government bodies don't expose anything, and it's all very .. uncooridnated.

But this is not the first time I've seen data from the US which feels so well organized. Is the secret sauce the data/providers, or is the creator of this site just very good at organizing a big mess?

Cities are amazingly resilient and it feels like every generation has a moment in which the city largest and most local to them is having a revival. Seems most large metros are going through some post-COVID pains: Increase in crime, extreme high cost of living, etc.

New York will, like always, come back.

But! The benefit to our mid size cities is great. We need these mid size cities to grow, and from my understanding, they have! Larger mid size cities mean a better national network for travel, more opportunities for jobs, growth, and movement of people/families. I'm here for all that.

Yup. Early in my career I was susceptible to this as well. Partly immaturity and partly business pressure (we need this thing now, and when the business adapts, we don't want to spend more engineering resources on it! make it work for the future!)

turns out that's nearly impossible, in most cases (businesses change)

I definitely take a more iterative approach now. There's a short spike window to architect the rough plan, get buy in from other engineers, and as long as we feel like we're directionally going the right way and we're not digging ourselves into a corner, we ship it.

Sometimes that has resulted in redoing things (we made a mistake in our thinking), but those redos are minimal compared to the weeks/months we may have spent over-architecting something

Plenty of Go commentary in this thread but can I just say I'm glad to have learned about nilness? Suffered through a few nil pointer dereferences after deploying and having this analyser enabled in gopls (off by default for me at least) is a nice change.

Tested via vim and looks good!

Do you have kids? If so, learn to write a game with your code by your side! That's what I'm doing, and I generally feel the same as you (NO GODAMN TIME!) :)

This "sitting in front of a computer" career gives me (and many others) the flexibility (and luxury in $$) to have a much nicer life than the majority of the population.
