good exercise!

Without experience, programming with AI (vibe coding, I guess) can be compared to being a rat in maze... You work your way through a project, but the dead-ends exact a high cost in terms time, attention, and ultimately cost.

With experience, you see these dead ends before they have a chance to take hold and you know when and how to adjust course. It's literally like one poster said: coding with some buddies without ego and without the need to constantly talk people out of using the latest and greatest shiny objects/tools/frameworks.

I've really enjoyed going back a revisiting old ideas and projects with the help of AI. As the OP stated -- it has restored my energy and drive.

User experience is inversely proportional to piracy.

Every time I have to login using a code, not only am I annoyed that I once again after to re-enter my uid/pwd despite being a paying customer, I'm also reminded I'm paying yet another monthly fee for a service.

Streaming companies: you're asking for it. Begging for it.

Keep at it -- your skills will be growing in demand as the cloud pendulum swings back.

Someone hired a PR firm and launched a campaign. That is all -- continue living your life.

Costco is the best!

In addition to having a great curated product selection that one can trust, they appear to treat their employees well as they always have a great attitude and top-notch customer service.

As true today as it was 18 years ago -- Just replace Operating System/Platform with your Public Cloud of choice.

Such an under-appreciated feature by macOS users and devs alike.

Nothing quite like a site titled "Better Science" with the disclaimer:

"While I understand the basics of a clinical trial, I’d like to point out that I am no medical scientists. Most of the issues here were spotted by other people and I have linked to the sources."

You cannot make this s@#t up!

Put on your critical thinking caps folks -- there's a lot of bad info out there.

Wow, you all are really taking this fact hard. It's ok -- I know was shocked when I first heard this back in high school.

Reading thru the comments, it sounds like New Jersey has great parental benefits, but you will be sharing them with a few more million people than Denmark, so ymmv.

It comes down to this: you sound like a complete idiot comparing social programs of these small Countries to <any> large Country. Stop.

I love a good, "X Nordic Country provides Y for FREE -- so should the United States!" Where Y is some socialized benefit.

Let's put this in perspective: Finland's population is around 5.5 million people. That's somewhere between the populations of South Carolina and Minnesota.

Get a grip people -- The United States is not even remotely equivalent to Finland in terms of demographics and population. Find a nice U.S. State that doles out great Parental benefits, and move.

Very interesting. There’s certainly something to this associative memory phenomenon. Case and point. I stumbled across this on accident, by listening to the radio while commuting to work in the morning. Some shows repeat themselves throughout the day. If I hear the repeat on my commute home, I can recall an amazing number of details around my morning commute at the same time in the show. It’s pretty amazing and I’m trying to find a way to exploit this outside of listening to Howard Stern on my commute to/from work. :-)

Why do I read this headline to myself in Adam Sandler's voice???

What's the old saying about sleeping with dogs?

Yeah. That.

Thank you -- this had to be said. Political discourse is useless here in this echo chamber.

And still no native calculator for iPad. Oh well, maybe they'll squeeze it in next year. Imagine the cheers and adulation that'll bring from the WWDC keynote audience...

And don't get me started about removing the glowing apple logo on the back of the screen. No reason for it -- now the back of the MBP looks just as shitty and cheap as every other craptop on the market.

I refuse to buy the new MBPs for corporate use. Just keep buying the older model. The new one is an unmitigated, overreaching, disaster. Oh and BTW, if Apple discontinues the older MBP, I will NEVER buy a MBP with a Touch Bar. Utterly ridiculous. I look forward to reading about what a stupid technology blunder this was years from now in a listicle of tech mistakes.

The Mayans applaud the efforts of these scientists.

Isn't this kind of how evolution works? Nature is just running its course -- nothing much to see here.

Stop with the 2016 nonsense... get a grip. Death is the next baby-boomer surge. Because there are so many celebrities in this group, we'll see daily death announcements in the coming years that will make 2016 look like a picnic.

We can -- let's start with a population the size of Finland. The State of Colorado has about the same # of people -- a great place to start! Think critically before you toss out the old argument: The U.S. should do X, just like Y; where X is the socialist program of choice and Y is a Nordic Country of your choosing.

Resource verbs in POST URLs are almost always a bad idea. You POST a command via the body to the resource and should expect a result in turn.

Though I do understand the idea that URLs with verbs allow the API to be self describing via links, I think it's a bit naive (and verbose) to think a user will get all the info they need from hitting the API. RAML and its variants do a great job of conveying this information.

I applaud the effort and your curiosity. Any good tunes on that stream? Perhaps you're working on a remix?

Loyal user for 10+ years. Apple is getting old and their apps, particularly iTunes, have transformed into an atrocity.

When it comes to code readability, and ultimate reusability, I believe renaming variables is where most time refactoring is best spent. Not only does it encourage better naming, but if the naming or paradigm model is off, it encourages better design.

Like the idea of future cloud portability? Go ahead and use this service -- Google dares you.

Building systems, specifically software systems, is all about creating analogies. OO lends itself well to this reality.

Absolutely LOVED Capsela! Eventually, I started applying a lot of the modularity concepts to my Lego Technic projects by recreating the gearing sets and interconnects in Lego. Great stuff!

Will have to give hall.com another serious look...
