Given "dirty" would make a strange (although valid) imperative, it would likely be referring to the state of the dishes

Black is more common, judging by the description at the bottom

Surely you understand that this is impossible in the general case?

Citogenesis!

Can't believe we got to see one in the wild, and with clear attribution to boot.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but weren't pencils ruled out by NASA because of the dust they create when they write? The toilet engineering could be a similar situation. These people are professionals, we should not assume they built it like this for no reason.

This would still benefit from a difficulty rating system or order

Incremental config changes sounds like it could lead to a LOT of bugs

This is a well-known effect, it does make a significant difference. People feel safer driving slower when the road has obstacles closeby or when it's curved. You can use this to slow people down with bollards, small curves, or even trees near the road in rural areas.

I get the same feelings when I edit code in different languages.

I haven't found that to be very accurate. I suspect the internal idiosyncrasies of a company are an issue, as the AI doesn't have the necessary context.

No mobile support?

Some people talk slower than your natural listening speed. It's less like skimming and more like if some books used 36pt font and you normalized the size back down to a comfortable information-dense size.

I did this the other day in an old component that had been refactored several times. It's incredibly satisfying. IMO removing code is often more important than adding it because it helps so much with maintainability and future development speed.

An AI agent has agency-- it can choose when to act.

Autosorting, fuzzy search, document analysis, identifying posts with the same topic, and sentiment analysis all benefit from AI's soft input handling.

This is an excellent tool for the toolbox. My company has work from home days but the managers technically have to approve schedule changes/exceptions. Since they almost always approve it, we usually just say "I'll be working from home Tuesday if that's okay" and unless they object, you're good.

Feels this way to me too.

However, I had no concept of cuteness or how to be it.

My memory isn't as good as yours, but you just reminded me of this fairly distinct feeling. As a child you're being earnest; only as an adult do you see that as being cute.

Isn't drowning one of the few things that babies instinctually fear?

Flexbox allowed this within a flat list, but this is much more applicable

Isn't the Peter Principle only true if you consider skillsets to be static? If you learn and grow into new roles, it can be avoided or mitigated.

You can't claim that Linux games running on Windows counts against Linux, but ignore that Windows games also run on Linux. You can't have it both ways.

Agreed. I think you could automate some of that too, could save time if you do it often.

Ooh this is neat, I've been working on something similar. I'll have to check it out and see if they're using the same abstractions as I am. Could be enlightening!

I'm a monster, I see code that's been commented out for more than 2 months or so and nuke it unless I know it's needed. We have Git, it'll be fiiine

Threads in browsers sounds like an absolute nightmare of new browser bugs and dev issues

I've been waiting for this for a long time. Previous attempts to do similar things required installing Node-Gyp, which was a nightmare.

They even created setImmediate(fn) for this purpose

Something I've always wanted is a simple way to rearrange local commits between different branches (or reorder them) by clicking and dragging. I know there are CLI tools out there to do it, but I haven't explored the options yet. I think that's much more intuitive than doing the same actions using the CLI, although that's mostly because using the CLI forces you to know the Git internals by heart, which is probably a good thing in the long run.

I went in for a checkup and my doctor actually retested me after a few minutes because the first reading was unnaturally high. Hurrying into the office and the general anxiety of being in a hospital certainly raises it by a bit.
