Claude Code has been written with Claude Code for a long time - that ship has long sailed.

> have another look at that code

That would assume he's even looked at the code in the first place - I think his whole thesis is based on you never looking at the code.

No it doesn't, unless you mean some more advanced parametric features that just the basic parameter driven modelling.

> So yes, this means you have to define what to load at the top where you define the routes.

And Meta's way of doing this is with Relay, so you are still defining component data requirements with the components and query fragments, but there's a compile step that produces those route level queries.. so you still get "co-location of a component's data requirements with the component", and "top level early data fetch" for the render-as-you-fetch pattern.

This change breaks the fetch-as-you-render pattern where components make individual data requests for their data, because that pattern is considered bad for performance (for Meta's use case).

I just got an email that my YouTube Premium family membership is going from $AU18/mo up to AU$33/month - that's a ridiculous hike and I won't be paying that when it kicks in April next year.

Oh man, I remember building a new PC for Falcon 4.0. I think I still have the manual binder somewhere. I didn’t actually stick with it for that long in the end - I should check out what the community has done in the meantime!

What if you have more than 100mL of Mayo on it?

I've pretty much come to this conclusion as well, but I do still often cook the pizzas on my 12" Ooni Karu woodfired mini-oven though.. you don't get the same level of "leopard skin" / micro-bubbles, but it's mostly there.

If I have a bit more time, but still relatively lazy, I'll use the stand mixer, but proof in my oven for an hour or two, which has a proofing mode which is basically a low temperature steam oven for a nice warm humid environment.

Of course also missing from the Tesla due to the lack of a front bumper camera that would allow for it...

Because up until about 6 months ago, the 3-4 year run to that point you were better off holding. I'm sure lots of people have had a very expensive (on paper) lesson this year about how much vested stock they should hold on to (if any).

It’s not really the same, that sounds like “redraw” here where you put more money into the loan but you can take it out again. Offset has all the benefit (reduced interest payments), with total flexibility. You can clear out your offset accounts anytime without penalty (redraw usually attracts a fee)

Does the US not have Mortgage Offset Accounts? An offset account is essentially a normal transaction account tied to your mortgage, but every dollar in the account "offsets" the mortgage balance for daily interest calculations. My "emergency fund" is just in one of my offset accounts, so it's saving me on my mortgage interest.

> Ethan Brodsky, couldn’t easily find anything about him today. Just another generous internet stranger who played a role in my tech career.

I got curious - the email address in the reply is "ericbrodsky" - I did find an Eric Brodsky on LinkedIn who was at Wisconsin until '95 - so it's possible Ethan is his son, and he used his dad's email address?

Some more digging, and I found this profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ethanbrodsky/ - could be him? Went to Wisconsin a few years later (so was likely in HS when he wrote the SoundBlaster stuff).

Heh.. "I worked on macOS 10.14, 10.15, 11, 12, but I can't tell you what I'm working on now, it'll launch later this year"

You're supposed to start typing a country name and then you'll get an auto-complete list in that drop down.

> The model 3 does have windshield wiper controls on the steering wheel stalks.

Well, you can push the button on the end of the left stalk to trigger a wipe - and that causes the controls to appear as a "card" on the screen if you want to set the wipers manually.

A complication is a watch related term for any feature that doesn't tell the time, and predates electronic watches.

Google Home can hear me whispering on the other side of the room, and usually do the right thing. Meanwhile, Siri on my watch gets triggered by the hiss of a running tap or a sizzling frying pan.

If you read the post, it’s because they’d made the decision not to use any third party dependencies in JS due to perceived problems with quality and correctness, and they found Rust crates to not suffer as much from these problems. So their productivity mostly stems from not having to rewrite their dependencies anymore, not so much just the switch to Rust itself but the whole ecosystem.

I might have misunderstood, but when I looked into this a while back the main downside is the loan amount shows up on your credit report. Even after you pay it off you now have this “credit” with the provider. This could affect, for example, a future mortgage application.

I learned a bit of Rust by doing Advent of Code with it. That's more algorithms than systems, but the difficulty ramp in AoC means it ends up being a good intro to the core of a language.

My understanding is the numbers in the article are made up to illustrate the deal structure, not the actual numbers in the deal.

With regards to the “block”- my understanding at most companies is that if you don’t pass the interview, but still had some positives, they’ll tell you to try again in a year.

I can still hear the slightly tinny / distorted "Welcome to Chuck Yeager's Air Combat!" in my head. Good memories for sure.

From experience with one of the later betas (around 22 or 23?) we saw no improvement or slight regression with the disk cache vs the memory cache for incremental builds. Initial builds (warm starts) were faster, but there was still significant overhead reading the cache - this is an area where any optimisation would yield big results. I haven't had the chance to try the released version yet, but my understanding is there weren't any significant changes in this area.

Up to a point, eventually when the code base is large enough you spend more time serialising/deserialising and passing things between workers that it can be faster to disable the cache.

> has he ever commented on it?

He has, he blamed energy efficient lightbulbs: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/sep/13/trump-orange...

Definitely this. My employer is allowing for this flexibility / lifestyle choice by having offices for those who prefer to work from an office, as well as for those times when it would be easier to get together to collaborate. They’re still working through the details, but I think it’s a good balance.

As someone with a comfortable WFH situation, and a 1h commute, I’ll definitely be staying at home most of the time once offices re-open - and maybe even consider moving a bit further out for a bit more space.

Without going into any more detail than you’re comfortable sharing, I’m just curious as to what kind of percentage return are you seeing from this?
