IME: Cycling bibs and shorts from knockoff amazon brands seem to be of equal quality to entry-level name brand stuff (pearl izumi) at a fraction of the price. Plain underwear, on the other hand, has serious want of quality vs 'real' athleisure brands (nike, underarmor, hanes). I was surprised to have such different experiences with two similar product categories.
Ah yes, my first love. I remember creating a quiz game based on greek mythology, and a little RPG where I realized the power of exponential functions by wrecking my power curve.
I don't agree with everything this piece concludes, but I do admire getting to read through a whole HN article without feeling the sheen of AI co-authorship.
I actually realized last night that everything that got me excited about the internet circa 2013 is actually way easier now, fun little one-off websites are far more doable, but we've lost the zeitgeist perhaps. It makes me wanna move back to NYC and go to BrooklynJS again.
I started doing this a few years ago, it works a treat with non-junior engineers. With the right testing in place, review becomes more about communicating the ideas clearly rather than gatekeeping.
I really miss the old way of doing things. I know it was a maintenance nightmare, but I only really value having an iphone app with native notifications that lets me see exactly the same stuff I would see on my laptop. I don't manage a ton of agents, I typically have one main task I am focusing on and possibly another smaller task on the back burner.
While refrigerated transport came with great benefits - everyday families who previously had meat only 1 or 2 nights a week could have it daily! - but I don't think we've yet realized the impact of only consuming food that has been dead and stored for several days.
By your own logic, anything that can be done 'for women' would equally benefit you. You are in a woman's societal role, and being marginalized to the point of invisibility comes with the territory.
My mother always enjoyed playing Jeopardy! on alexa, it was a novel format and everybody could participate while sitting around and chatting. She happily would have paid for it, even the dreaded monthly subscription, but it was neglected. The service started being buggy (lagging, repeatedly restarting the day's question series) and now they've moved on.
If anyone knows of an open-source alternative I could stitch together, I am all ears!
After the better part of a decade spent with chromecast and legal streaming, I have been forced back to the high seas as of late. I can't reliably get programs without onerous subscriptions, each for one or two shows I actually care about.
A lot of people will need to stop identifying as 'someone who makes art with enough value to trade it for the decent wage'. Millions of egos destroyed, not a dollar of GDP lost.
If one claims to be able to write good code with LLMs, it should just as easy to write comprehensive e2e tests. If you don't hold your code to a high testing standard than you were always going off 'vibes' whether they were from a silicon neural network or your human meatware biases.
LLMs unlock a fundamentally different paradigm of interaction, in my experience a non-technical person with a good humanities background can describe what they want adequately. This is without needing to master the arbitrary grammar of a no-code system. Does often inevitably turn out to be a 'toy' version of what a real business needs? Yes, but it's still strictly better than previous ways of working.
Yeah, my assumption is a ton of people are getting for half the advertised capacity, and if they looked at actual 10Ah batteries this would be in line with their energy density.
Not just stop and wait, the intention is that the world will fully start to spin backwards and reverse the flow of time until post-WW2 abundance returns. All that's needed is the right cargo cult of American values.
the crazy thing is, I can get locally-roasted beans that are single-origin microlots from all over the world, in part because of the coffee boom that was a result of instant coffee and the desire for better.
You've never seen those stands at the boardwalk where artists draw caricatures? They're extremely formulaic and rarely resemble the subjects aside from a few distorted features, but humans have being paying other humans to pump out that slop for ages.
type safety, integration testing, and thorough readmes are now cheap, I don't know why any developer would not be using them with claude code. even if all the LLM services go under tomorrow you'll still have code that practically autocompletes itself.
Do y'all get mosquitos on the roof? My back patio is screened in and some are still sneaking through. Would love to know the wired-ethernet-certainty type of approach to dealing with this.
