I tried Aider recently to modify a quite small python + HTML project, and it consistently got "uv" commands wrong, ended up changing my entire build system because it didn't think the thing I wanted to do was supported in the current one (it was).

They're very effective at making changes for the most part, but boy you need to keep them on a leash if you care about what those changes are.

I think it depends on how thorny the thing you need to debug is. Race conditions, intermittent bugs that crash the process leaving no trace, etc. Debugging is much more than using a debugger

I don't really think we have. There are many open source projects that duplicate work for a variety of reasons. Perfectly fine for stuff you want to do, but probably not an optimal allocation of resources

Does anyone have any idea if we can expect a MacBook Pro with M4 release announcement this week as well?

To be fair, I can remember 0 times where as an API consumer I've needed to do different actions depending on whether it was a 401 or a 403 - but I also mainly deal in API->API communication.

It happens even on prolonged vacations. So I don't actually have to get up at any particular time (my partner does) so I don't really buy the stress theory, it feels more like a pretty fixed circadian rhythm in regards to when I'm tired/awake - as I can push the rhythm but it takes a fair chunk of days. I imagine like adjusting to a new timezone.

Having danced for around a decade, I would say the hand positioning example is a bit reductive. The most obvious example is that there's only one variant of "both hands crossed over" - while it's true that the hands might only fit together one way, the things you can do with the hands depending on what arm is on top varies significantly.

Having said that I'm pretty excited about the topic and what the author can do with it.

I mean, maybe you have more background knowledge than what you're posting, but it doesn't seem to me that there's necessarily an especially strong link between your recreational cannabis usage and your testosterone levels. Particularly if you've been doing something for 8 years without any side-effects and then suddenly something drastic happens - it seems to me there are plenty of other potential explanations.

It's a nice series of stories, although I feel like they do go a bit off the deep end in some of the later installments - but the premise is very fun.

We use Rkyv heavily at Climatiq to embed already-parsed data into our binaries that we then serve on an edge network. The speed is great and for the happy path it works very nicely, and is extremely fast. However the fact there's a separate version of each struct does become a bit of a bother.
