At least personally, parts of the differences for me are that the same instructions to a different CNC machine should produce the same product and that the machinist, presumably, created the instructions themselves.
Instead of saying "create instructions for CNC to make me a _thing_, then instruct the CNC machine to actually create the _thing_" they went and created the instructions themselves.
It sounds like you're also advocating for some form of permanent pragma that gets stored in the SQLite file and that the CLI will read and apply on startup?
That way somebody can snag a copy of your data and be subject to the same constraints by default.
I think that’s a feature. Not a bug.
I see where you're coming from, but I think it's less the fact that they _can_ use an LLM to do this and more that they can't guarantee anybody else has exercised equal diligence with their code or equal experience with browser engines.
It's not unreasonable to feel conflicted about this, but at the same time, I wonder if they're starting to burn out on code review.
From the flip side, 10 years in, I've been getting really into art.
It's not cheap, but it's easier to do my job with the thought that I have art this week and next week and maybe I'll get to teach it someday too.
It feels healthy to not let your work control your life after retirement. There's so much else out there to do.
guess that's why there aren't many comments here
An engraving pen on glass? Why not get some sheet glass and a stick of color. Write it directly onto the glass _in glass_
I used to work on bikes professionally, and this was the first place we went for help. Even today, it's one of the clearest resources out there
It isn't entirely that.
Somewhat, sure.
It's also managers who tell you you're being laid off, but good news, not for three months. And, oh, by the way, if you leave early no severance.
And why are you being laid off?
Your duties are being offshored.
_You_ aren't being offshored because they need three people to replace you, but your duties are.
Ostensibly this saves money.
It's named 4.0.0-alpha1. Just add the 1 and the link works
You tell that to everybody with a glioblastoma.
Go ahead, tell them the aggressive mass in their brain, the thing that shortened whatever potential life expectancy they had to, at best, single digit years, isn’t a guaranteed death sentence.
They’ll be so comforted by the idea that maybe their already shortened life expectancy will be further reduced by a car accident or some idiot with a knife.
Of course they're misleading. What did the doctor tell us when my mom was diagnosed? Don't do research, do not trust Dr. Google, Dr. Google lies. At best, Dr. Google is behind the times.
The specifics of your case will strongly affect what happens to you. And even for cancers that are a guaranteed death sentence, survival has increased significantly in recent years.
And go see the demos! Or watch their YouTube channel!
Assuming you aren't looking for an exact millimeter-for-millimeter version of the spiral condenser, I bet you could find someone to make it in the US quite easily.
It's still one of the major glassblowing countries. In fact, if you remember when folks were worried about those two quartz mines in Spruce Pine, NC that are the only place with pure enough quartz for chips? That's also the home of Spruce Pine Batch, one of the big glass suppliers in America.
Ironically with glass itself, it's the ones that take less time that tend to be better.
Especially any borosilicate glass with a hard edge
You might notice that this link isn't from Corning. It's from the Corning Museum of Glass' excellent library
Unfortunately seems to only be the case in aggregate
Narvar's tracking emails are mostly-image
And on the one hand, it's cool as hell to see your email update itself to show tracking progress
On the other hand, just send me a new email. It's fine, I promise.
Regarding your comment about the notion of semantic HTML - I think HTML lacks an easily found ground-up course or series or articles or whatnot about how you get there.
MDN talks about when a specific element is appropriate, but it doesn’t really help you discover those elements that might be relevant.
There’s a lot of politics happening to us in real life right now too
I'll be honest, I think LAX's traffic is better than SFO's. It feels like there's a lot less spaghetti at LAX, the shortcuts are reasonable, and you don't have separate international and domestic loops.
It's a fascinating edge case, but also feels like a silly choice of company name for this exact reason.
What other systems are going to shut you out for your choice of company name?
we may be better off if tiktok shuts down in the US
finding really good posters that you like is like finding a needle in a haystack
Or maybe, sometimes it's just flat out dull work. And it has to get done, you're the one with the capacity to do it, and you just have to grit your teeth and do it.
That feels like an entirely separate policy. This one is about making sure small children have care, not whether or not people deserve a minimum guaranteed income
It's funny, because I had the exact opposite experience with abstract algebra.
The professor explained things, we did proofs in class, we had problem sets, and then he gave us open-book semi-open-professor take-home exams that took us most of a week to do.
Proof classes were mostly fine. Boring, sometimes ridiculously shit[0], but mostly fine. Being told we have a week for this exam that will kick our ass was significantly better for synthesizing things we'd learned. I used the proofs we had. I used sections of the textbook we hadn't covered. I traded some points on the exam for hints. And it was significantly more engaging than any other class' exams.
[0] Coming up with novel things to prove that don't require some unrelated leap of intuition that only one student gets is really hard to do. Damn you Dr. B, needing to figure out that you have to define a third equation h(x) as (f(x) - g(x))/(f(x) + g(x)) as the first step of a proof isn't reasonable in a 60 minute exam.
I don't think it's necessarily _wrong_ to say that SSO shouldn't just be an enterprise feature, but if you need to hire an additional person or two just for SSO, you should feel free to pass that cost (plus a cushion) on.
I can’t help but miss it, even though I desperately needed to get out too.
I miss knowing where the darkest place is for 50 miles in all directions. I never got to bike highway 1 from SF to Big Sur. My boyfriend and I would have an easier time finding jobs there. There’s better roads for car enthusiasts.
There was a lot of depressing tech saturation in the Bay Area, but there’s still good pockets of the pre-software culture around there if you’re willing to live towards the edges and look for the weirdness.
This has all been a very personal thread
My two cents are that I have hobbies and obsessions that fulfill me and can make me money. I’m keeping the work-life balance and slowly getting better at my hobbies.
Hopefully, I’ll be able to retire early from tech and finish out my time doing something else part time. I started out working on bicycles, I’d like to close things out similarly in a few decades.
I’m very glad your mother in law has use for them.
With that said, I don’t think these can replace phones until they’re quite a lot smaller and lighter. And to make it worse, you’d need at least two pairs - regular and sun. Possibly three if you’re someone who regularly uses safety glasses.
