The Specialness of 'The Snowman'

Help people when they explicitly ask for help. When someone asks, the cause and effect reverse. You’re no longer imposing your judgment on someone who never wanted it.

Maybe this is why pull request reviews can become contentious. The reviewer thinks the author is open for feedback while in fact it’s just the widely accepted practice and team/company enfored that you are supposed to give feedback.

I don’t understand this take. In my company a lot of the Claude Coders seem to be very uninterested or unaware of the code they are producing, while I in Cursor usually click ”Keep”/”Undo” on specific code blocks (with little edits) or sometimes the whole file at once if it’s a low risk part of the codebase. I fail to see how this workflow produces inferior code vs shooting in the blind and maybe skimming a huge diff in one go.

I've found most hackathons not personally fulfilling because you can only get small stuff done and finalize maybe a happy path or two, accompanied by some rushed slides, before you run out of time. The AI really changes this and you can actually deeply exhaust an idea.

Isn’t that also a valuable life lesson that some topics/resources are scarce and at some point you need to do something else?

You could and yet nobody did.

You need to give credit to a project like Astro that takes a pattern, popularizes it and makes it straightforward to adopt via a framework.

The fact that people don’t realize this is satire is the most scariest part.

I wonder how good it would be to convert sheet music to MusicXML. All the current tools more or less suck with this task, or maybe I’m just ignorant and don’t know what lego bricks to put together.

I was a Nexus/Pixel user for 10+ years. Majority of the phones I owned during that time had some quirks or issues. The worst examples were Nexus 5X and Pixel 5 – both just suddenly froze one day, shut down, and never turned back on again. After that Pixel 5 surprise I grudgingly switched to iPhone 12 mini.

I still think Google’s Android UI is the best one out there for me, and I despise a lot in the iPhone UX (such as the keyboard) but I just need a phone that works and I can get repaired or replaced easily if I need to. At least in Finland, Google’s customer service has been abysmal over the years.

Almost certainly a lot of the people saying they are ”crossing” their eyes are actually ”uncrossing” their eyes; focusing the eyes straighter than what would normally happen on the surface where the image is laid out.

This is also how the legendary ”Magic Eye” books were supposed to be viewed. Not by crossing the eyes.

The bigger the codebase, we all eventually find ourselves in scenarios where we were the idiot. Making the APIs as foolproof as possible, utilizing tools like Semgrep, deprecating stuff in the way your language supports that it shows up in the IDE,… all that stuff should be utilized.

You need 4 colors 2 years ago

I think the maker of this had a point and I was curious what the crowd here thought about that. I think most people didn’t look further into his argument nor the linked YouTube video, where the idea was that you’d accompany these with darker/lighter variants (depending on dark vs light mode).

You need 4 colors 2 years ago

I think the dark mode colors look way better than the light mode (you can switch at the top).

And then there’s the Fennoscandia test: do you convert äöåø with the same rules as for German? Because, if you do, it looks very silly at least in Finnish. This is often the case in international sporting events and is basically a joke among Finns how Räikkönen becomes the insanity of ”Raeikkoenen” etc. ”Raikkonen” would be much preferred.
