Agreed, author missed the mark on that one! But makes sense if you haven't seen her content before. Definitely wouldn't call her content "slop".

A City on Mars by Zach Weinersmith goes over a lot of these points and many others, like politics and laws of space. Like the title of this article, the tldr is "life in space would suck".

I had a fun result the other day from Claude. I opened a script in Zed and asked it to "fix the error on line 71". Claude happily went and fixed the error on line 91....

1. There was no error on line 91, it did some inconsequential formatting on that line 2. More importantly, it just ignored the very specific line I told it to go to. It's like I was playing telephone with the LLM which felt so strange with text-based communication.

This was me trying to get better at using the LLM while coding and seeing if I could "one-shot" some very simple things. Of course me doing this _very_ tiny fix myself would have been faster. Just felt weird and reinforces this idea that the LLM isn't actually thinking at all.

I’m less empathetic than I might be because I came into the office 5 days a week for 30 years. My wife also worked. We raised three kids. I went to night school. It’s all very doable, and honestly not that hard.

To me this sentiment reads as "It sucked for me, therefore it needs to suck for you too. Feel the pain of previous generations!"

What happened to wanting to make life BETTER for people? Better for the next generation?

As someone that would complain about RTO mandates if I had to, I know that it's do-able, but does it make my life better? No, it doesn't.

Imagine your last 30 years of not having to go in 5 days a week? Think how much more time you would have had to do all the things you listed: raise your kids, spend time studying night school, etc. How much further ahead would you have gotten with that extra time?

You are correct to a point. Programming is not absurd until you involve the humans! Your end users will end up driving you crazy.

Yes, the article is talking about stuff that happened in BC. The last paragraph references legislation in Alberta. Link from last paragraph in the article: https://engineerscanada.ca/news-and-events/news/alberta-gove...

For anyone that didn't read the article but reads this: it's only in Alberta and it's tabled legislation. Hasn't passed yet.

I think OP was being sarcastic. I think that because they added TM (for trademark) after "Feature", which I take to mean sarcasm is being expressed in the sentence.

All that to say, myself (and likely OP) agree with your thoughts.

Not sure if you read the post. They don't advocate for replacing Google. They want to add onto Google and other search engines.

Didn't know about this! Looks so much cleaner than the other extension

This sent me down a good rabbit hole. Ended up finding a simpler userChrome.css that removed the native tabs. I'm sure yours does a lot more cleaning up of the UI but the following worked well for me: https://github.com/taylorsilva/dotfiles#hide-firefoxs-native...

I stopped reading this review after hitting this point. The next page gesture is so simple and gestures overall are a key thing to nail down if you're trying to use a remarkable. It sounds like it just wasn't for the author but it also seems like they didn't try to learn the device or look up guides for it.

That is strange. I have nothing to share except that I don't have this issue. MacOS, Firefox 72.

Correct, if it's 2FA with a phone number. Avoid 2FA with a phone number if possible and use any other method (OTP, YubiKey's, etc.)

This looks awesome. Thank you for sharing.

My friends and I have all thought about doing this. We still think about doing this a lot but we're afraid of a dispute coming up and ruining our friendship. We want to do it but we don't want to risk our group friendship.

Also what impressed me, but on my Android phone.

That was a lovely story. It really resonated with me. Thanks for sharing!

Agreed. I tried automating an installation of some software in powershell. I kept getting different errors on different windows machines depending on what version of Windows they were on and what features they had installed. Ended up rewriting the whole thing in C#. Runs everywhere I need it to and zero issues.

This sounds cool! You seem high functioning. I know someone who's low functioning, about grade 2-3 mentality and can't keep conversations going for long. No savant level skills either. How does your work affect people on that end of the spectrum? Do you see any of your work applying to them? Sorry if you've answered any of this in your research. I'll check your site out more tomorrow.

As one example, I tested two versions of a newsletter that went out to 24,000+ recipients:

You're right. In the second tile he shows it look like 60-70% is just the moat.

Zero-rating means it doesn't count towards your cap. Blackberry messenger is an example of a service/traffic that was zero-rated.

Why do you think Tesla is getting in the battery business as well? Energy storage will become extremely important as we move away from fossil fuel energies.
