This is wildly inaccurate to the point of being dangerous advice. The goal during a bomb threat call is generally not to challenge, mock, or provoke the caller into a reaction. It is to keep the caller talking for as long as possible and gather information that could help assess the threat and assist law enforcement or security. There is no reliable rule that says a "real terrorist" will hang up if laughed at or that a hoax caller will stay on the line. People making threats behave in many different ways and simplistic tests like this are not a dependable way to determine whether a threat is real.

Soluble fiber in general helps lower LDL, beans and lentils work well too. One caution for diabetics, this meal could be pretty high in carbs for a single sitting depending on portions.

Interesting concept. Not sure if I like it more than drag and drop though, but I do love explorations like this. Reminds me of the old days when Flash devs would build some truly crazy stuff.

Potential bug: The first time I tried it on my iPad, it didn’t place the item, but it did on subsequent uses.

Yes, licensing does reduce supply compared to a free-for-all. But that’s the point, it filters out people who shouldn’t be doing the work in the first place. For engineers, the PE designation means you’re legally responsible for your work.

Found the repo over here if anyone is curious.

I thought the same thing of his website when he first hit the scene. Great info, but the design was so bad it made it difficult to read. It was quick though, and today’s reader view would have fixed that issue. Being usable doesn’t mean zero design; everything needs to work together.

FYI I don't think all of your styles are loading on the page. Tried safari and firefox and it doesn't look right.

Thus is just a link to a Reddit post that links to a LinkedIn job posting.

I'm curious to see if anyone here has done this switch on a large project and what gains they are seeing.

I'm not aware of that, but I also lost access to Copilot when we switched to Cursor so I can't check at the moment. That's great if you can because Claude is why people like Cursor.

We’re in the early stages of this transition. There’s no formal hiring freeze, but leadership has made it clear we should exhaust AI options before considering new hires. At the same time, raises and promotions are frozen this year, which has definitely caused a lot of frustration internally.

As part of this AI-first shift, all engineers now have access to Cursor, and we’re still figuring out how to integrate it. We just started defining .cursorrules files for projects.

What’s been most noticeable is how quickly some people rely too much on AI outputs, especially the first pass. I’ve seen PRs where it’s obvious that the generated code wasn’t even run or reviewed. I know this is part of the messy adjustment period, but right now, it feels like I’m spending more time reviewing and cleaning up code than I did before.

It's a fork of VS Code that still uses the official extensions, despite that violating the license terms. Functionally, it's pretty similar to using VS Code with Copilot, but with the added bonus of choosing from multiple models. I’ve only just started using it at work, so my experience is also pretty limited, but so far the results seem slightly better.

I remember when Easter eggs like this were all over the web before frontend frameworks took over. Nice to see the tradition continues.

I’m still going to talk to it like a person because if I don’t then I’ll slowly start to talk to people like they’re LLMs and it’s going to sound rude.

This reminds me of the old military phrase "different spanks for different ranks". The higher up in the chain of command the less consequences you have.

Any enlisted person or junior officer would lose their job and face federal charges.

All the BattleTech minis have been huge successes. I’ve supported some local ones, like a machined metal wallet, but anything with technology scares me.

When was the last time you tried? I have a 2012 Mac mini that runs it like a champ and has done so for a very long time. I only have a handful of plugins but uBlock Origin is one of them.

This is just pilot production is the first of many steps towards mass production. They don’t expect actual production until 2027.

It even mentions that CATL is at roughly the same stage. So while good news its still going to take some time to get these into production cars and to get the costs down.

Promises mean nothing. A couple of months ago, I was promised a promotion during the next review cycle. This week, HR announced at an all-hands that there won't be a review cycle or raises at all this year. The anger and disappointment I feel right now are off the charts.

Do what's best for you. If you're trying to keep things smooth, cut the grace period to a month max with a clear ramp-down plan. If you had quit, they wouldn’t have gotten even that.

I do miss user-upgradable RAM and storage, which seems to be absent on many laptops these days. However, I don’t share the same sentiments about the other minor features that have been integrated onto the motherboard. Anyone else remember squeezing in a modem, network card, SoundBlaster, and a video card into their case? Or the frustration of discovering that the power supply couldn’t reliably power all those components. Or wanting to upgrade your CPU only for them to change the socket again.

What I really want is something like the Samsung Dex, where you can dock a portable device into something and make it more powerful.

Then go read this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_ultraviolet_lithograph...

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratories were funded in the 1990s to perform basic research into the technical obstacles. The results of this successful effort were disseminated via a public/private partnership Cooperative R&D Agreement (CRADA) with the invention and rights wholly owned by the US government, but licensed and distributed under approval by DOE and Congress.

It’s because the US National Laboratories developed all the initial technology to enable EUV. ASML just builds the machines.

I put the death of Zip more on CD-Rs getting popular. Even if you didn’t have a writer you could read them. And then UsB thumb drives came in to clean house.

Thankfully the exclusivity clause was finally dropped Nov of last year. Amazon has invested a lot of money into Rivian and if they want to recoup that investment it’s in their best interest not to needlessly hinder them.

Still hoping the R2 launch gets them into the mainstream and profitable.

The “Shadow Resources” attack vector, which has since been addressed by AWS, stemmed from the automatic generation of S3 buckets by various AWS services, including:

- CloudFormation

- Glue

- EMR

- SageMaker

- ServiceCatalog

- CodeStar

I’ve had pet rabbit nearly my entire life and tend to name my devices after things rabbits do or nicknames I’ve given them - hopper, sniffer, nibbler, loafy, etc…

My college computer lab used element names. The ones hardest to spell had the least amount of people connected to them.

This looks like a shameless clone of shadcn/ui plus you're charging money for it.

Angular is only opinionated for a few things you can still end up with a mess of third party libraries mixed into Angular.

We had this with plugins and it was a security, performance, and compatibility nightmare.

It wasn’t that long ago you needed QuickTime and RealPlayer for videos. Then Flash, Director, Silverlight, and Java for multimedia.
