Hard disagree. I love a little bit of whimsy (which I feel the world is lacking more and more everyday) from Simon everytime a new model is announced.

Did mass processed food production stop people from cooking or enjoying human made food?

Yeah but what if I'm getting pitted against my coworkers who are vibe coding and getting things done faster than I am. Some people write code with pride because it's their brainchild. AI completely ruins the fun for those people when they have to compete against their coworkers for productivity.

I'm not in disagreement with you or the GP comment, but this it is super hard to make nuanced comments about GenAI.

What is React runtime? I looked it up and the closest thing I came across is the newly announced React compiler. I have a vested interest in this because currently working on a micro-SaaS that uses React heavily and still suffering bundle bloat even after performing all the usual optimizations.

One I use a lot is kp, it kills a process listening to a particular TCP port.

  kp () {
           if [ -z "$1" ] then
                   echo "Usage: kp <port>"
                   return 1
           fi
           lsof -nP -iTCP:"$1" -sTCP:LISTEN | awk 'NR>1 {print $2}' | xargs kill -9
   }

Not a fork of thunderbird. It's custom CSS that renders the thunderbird "chrome".

Also clicking on the checkbox label does not check or uncheck it. Me thinks they jumped the gun on this

The opposite is true in Chrome-- the address bar a little more than completely useless. I use it mostly for web development but this feature along with manifest v3 introduced by Chrome might make me switch to Firefox for good.

The sign in flow is completely broken for me. I am signing up with an email, after I click the verification link it takes me to a page where I need to enter my email yet again. Here it says I already might have an account and sends another verification email which does the same thing again. Also found other issues the site after going to the home page. Multiple modals overlapping with the sign in flow.

w3schools has gotten better over the years[1]. I use MDN for almost everything, but I do mistakenly click the first result on Google Search which is usually w3schools. You can use this handy site to have the "I am feeling lucky" Google experience while searching for any web related queries. Example: mdn.io/flexbox

I am squarely in the camp that believes real sentience is not possible anytime soon given the current limits of computation and tech.

My biggest takeaway from this is that emotion gets the best of us when we’re dealing with anything that remotely resemblance sentience. It’s not unlike me thanking Alexa for helping me with small things like turning on my lights, because I would feel bad otherwise.

Yeah exactly, if I `require important.rb` in this file, and `important.rb` wasn't committed how did that project even build and get deployed. Any sane build system will instantly fail for this situations. Looks like an issue with dev ops/engineering culture rather than .gitignore

Bob, are you using the same data as the OP?

Every year I scan through their Google I/O website to see if anything catches my eyes, not many things they're presenting catch my eyes. I did look at Flutter 3, but probably won't try it out.

And the Google hardware ecosystem just does not appeal to me.

I noticed that the strings do not actually sound close to a natural guitar. For the next set of enhancements perhaps you could incorporate Karplus-Strong[1] in your audio generation routine.

I am excited about this because it finally seems like there will be one more worthy competitor in the portable gaming arena. I was getting really tired of Nintendo's majority market share, with no one to compete against them they have been reigning free with their ridiculous "no sale on 4 year old games" policy.

Recently I read somewhere that writing long prose is easy but writing something succinct takes way longer. I think that translates to writing code as well.

My Samsung TV auto-updates. It's infuriating as I cannot disable it.

This is a peak pretentious HN comment that gives HN its infamy.

It is a pleasure to read that style in literary works, but in your day to day life is that how you want to communicate with people? I think that's what the linked article is talking about, how to use plain English for communication.

I think I am smart but I am lazy, and I have this unquenchable thirst for knowledge. I rabbit-hole into things and never completely finish a project that I start. I have so many abandoned GitHub repos that might have panned out if I had put focus and effort into them. So I think my lack of motivation and interest could be a factor in me not getting rich.

But I am happy with my 9-5 job that provides enough to take care of the people I love.

Thanks a lot for your help!

This is very cool. Where can I learn more about stuff like this, and what are the prerequisites for learning something like this? I have a BSc in CS and understand OSes and programming languages pretty well.

What kind of business do you run? Can you explain a bit about how your systems in different providers are connected?

Looks like it's already happening. I see that some books are "promoted".

Thanks for posting this :)

What's up with decoding the JS and using eval?

Base64 encode the string for added fun.

"It's just suck to the core"

You are not helping anyone out here. Why does C# suck for you?

I find the tooling for C# projects using VS as a very nice feature set. Look at what VS supports today. Grunt, npm and bower are supported by VS out of the box. Also, nuget package manager has saved me many DLL hell problems that could have occurred without it. VS also supports many third-party extensions and tooling, which is what makes me thinks it is one of the best IDEs out there.

Oh how funny, 130 years ago Tesla scared the hell out of some battery company.

Ironically the home page for it looks horrible in the latest version of Chrome under Windows.

Windows 7 also ships with Powershell.
