Following the PGP example, I wonder how long until "illegal" tshirts with weights printed on them start popping up.

Do you have any sources I could read to better understand your concern?

I'm confused. Your comment says you built your own agent, but the first line of your website says Clawsify will "Deploy OpenClaw inside your infrastructure".

Which is it?

Ugh, I've had this happen over and over. I can't trust my laptop to actually shut down. I have to wait to see the light stay off for a couple seconds before I put it in my bag.

That story is a classic urban legend.

Both agencies used pencils, but they were problematic because the graphite could break off / float around / cause shorts.

The space pen was developed by Fisher independently of NASA. NASA bought 400 of them for $2.39 each. The Roscosmos later bought 100 for the same price.

Luckily I carry around a device with infinite reconfigurable buttons!

What would be the incentive for someone to do this for real?

We all have access to SOTA LLMs. If I want a "clean room" implementation of some OSS library, and I can choose between paying a third party to run a script to have AI rebuild the whole library for me and just asking Claude to generate the bits of the library I need, why would I choose to pay?

I think this argument applies to most straightforward "AI generated product" business ideas. Any dev can access a SOTA coding model for $20p/m. The value-add isn't "we used AI to do the thing fast", it's the wrapping around it.

Maybe in this case the "wrapping" is that some other company is taking on the legal risk?

statistically women all try to get into a relationship with the same 1% of men - who sleep around and cause toxicity all around. The remaining 99% become bitter and consequently... Are even less attractive to women.

As a regular 30s dude, definitely not 1% by any measure, app dating had its rough spots but generally was a good time, I experienced no bitterness.

Instead I met a bunch of interesting people and found my partner. We now own a house and are talking about kids.

The real toxicity here is the idea that women at large are somehow responsible for anyone's lack of dating success.

For anyone reading this who might be dating and feel disheartened- the hard truth is that you have two options: you can either blame the group of people you're trying to attract for having faulty preferences, or you can reflect and work on yourself and your approach. Only one of these has any chance of helping you.

One thing I do agree with you on: bitterness is extremely unattractive.

Browsing past project 5 in the portfolio leads to a plain black page which needs a refresh to recover from.

I generally agree with you, but:

If other industries worked like this, you could sue an architect who discovered a flaw in a skyscraper

To match this metaphor to TFA, the architect has to break in to someone else's apartment to prove there's a flaw. IANAL but I'm not positive that "I'm an architect and I noticed a crack in my apartment, so I immediately broke in to the apartments of three neighbours to see if they also had cracks" would be much of a defence against a trespass/B&E charge.

"If you're unsure, ask. Don't guess." in prompts makes a huge difference, imo.

Sure, you could just do it in software. Maybe it would produce something interesting though, to have that extra layer through the physical world?

*thousands, not thousandths, right?

The correct number is fourty six thousand, two hundred and fifty five square mm.

I don’t think anything you said is wrong, but I do think you’re misreading the intent of the channel.

Practical Engineering is very deliberately framed as edutainment. The animations, pacing, and level of depth are conscious choices meant to keep non-specialists engaged rather than to maximize technical rigor.

In that sense, it belongs alongside other popular "science-y" channels like Kurzgesagt, Vsauce, and Technology Connections: content that prioritizes narrative and engagement over completeness or instruction.

The target audience is the broad middle of the technical bell curve. Animations of runway layers may make the video less appealing to you, but more accessible to a much larger, less technical audience.

Different goals imply different success criteria. If the goal is reach rather than comprehensive education, a million views in seven days looks like success.

"Why think when AI do trick?"

+1, Todoist has changed things for me drastically.

I was diagnosed with ADHD a year and a half ago in my ~mid 30s. The meds (Vyvanse) help somewhat, but the real key to improvement for me has been using Todoist.

IME the real trick is using it consistently, and for everything. My routines (e.g. morning routine: meds, eat, coffee, brush teeth, brush the dog's teeth, etc etc) are all in Todoist, not because I struggle to focus on getting that stuff done in the morning (well, sometimes, perhaps) but because starting the day with do-easy-thing, mark-it-done, repeat, sets up the rest of the day to be run by Todoist instead of the bit of my brain that goes "I know we should be getting ready to leave but WHAT IF YOU WROTE AN APP TO DO THIS COOL THING, JUST QUICKLY TRY THAT NOW, YOU CAN LEAVE AFTER".

I had a similar experience with org-mode too. It was great at work where I'm at my desk all day, and made a huge difference, but not having a good mobile experience makes it impractical for day-to-day home use.

So with 108,000 (60 X 1,800) Bob Ross PPUs (parallel painting units) we should be able to achieve a stable 60FPS!

How about a site which parses your credit card / bank statement to find out where you're spending money and provides tips to save cash based on that spending (which could be sourced from community submissions + voting)

E.g. I buy supermarket gift cards from a slightly obscure site which sells them at a 5% discount. Super easy way to save a few hundred dollars a year. The hardest thing was discovering that this was an option.

I'm not understanding why TFA author has such an attitude about this

To me it reads like an ego trip rather than any kind of righteous vendetta against the author. Implicit in "look at the dumb thing this other person did" is "I'm smarter than them because I noticed the dumb thing".

While I agree with your general sentiment, the 10 key being on the "wrong" side could be good, perhaps, in some cases?

Historically I've done some heavy spreadsheet work where the resting position of my hands which minimizes movement is right hand on the mouse, left hand on the 10 keys. On a normal keyboard that has the disadvantage of causing a "closed" posture which isn't entirely comfortable.

Outside of that kind of niche use case though, it definitely feels like a strange choice for developers.

NFC tags in custom "avatars" unique to and customizable by each kid, turning friends into collectables? I would've been all over that in my early teens.

In the spirit of genuine curiosity, who is making you feel like less of a person wrt the choice of main/master, and how are they doing that?

It sounds like you're saying that git maintainers are intending for you to feel like less of a person because you don't agree with their choice, but I don't understand how you arrived at that conclusion.

A train can go from "cruising speed" to letting passengers off to escape a fire in about a minute.

A plane might take anywhere from five minutes to several hours to be able to safely let passengers out.

Personally I feel that's a good enough reason to impose more robust restrictions on Things Which May Cause Fire on planes compared to trains. Especially in the case of lithium batteries where they're more or less impossible to extinguish one they're going.

most people in my life react negatively if I express emotion that what they are doing is upsetting

Right. I guess they feel accused, as though you're attacking their behaviour rather than sharing how it makes you feel, and instinctively become defensive in response?

It's wonderful to meet people who don't think this way. My partner is incredible at this, I can tell her "when you X I feel Y" and know without a doubt her reaction will come from a place of trying to work together to understand whether the problem and solution exist in X, Y or both.

The recommended 3 second gap is a much bigger distance than most people recognise, especially at high speed.

On another note- I feel sad that you could tell your mate "the way you're driving is making me uncomfortable" and be met with basically "your discomfort isn't valid because [technology] so I won't change my behaviour".

MIG is for hobbyists. Real programmers use TIG.

Is this generally true for laptops / phones?

I've often wondered why I can tell by touch whether a device is charging or not from the slight "vibration" sensation I get when gently touching the case.

we just didn't care. Upper management seemed happy enough

This is very relatable. Management want X, engineers recognise X is dumb and deliver something that sorta looks like X, management see something that looks like X and are happy.

Are we sure this guy isn't trolling us? The advice about theming while using a yellow-on-black blog format, the "dark mode" toggle which makes the whole page black except for a spotlight focused on the mouse cursor... I'm not sure.

Close your eyes (not yet! Finish this sentence first) and try to remember what color your color theme uses for class names? Can you? If the answer for both questions is “no”, then your color theme is not functional.

I'm sure this varies person-to-person, but for me at least this is not a good test.

I couldn't list the notes in Clair De Lun, but I'd certainly notice if I heard the wrong note played. In much the same way, I have no idea what color classes are in my theme, but I certainly notice when it's wrong.
