Single Piece Flow fits with other Toyota ideas of how to get high quality work done. If something is frequently blocking the line, the solution is to put resources toward the bottleneck, not spin up more work in parallel.
Nice to give Claude their own blue bubble iMessage. Can be done in a VM of course if you have the capacity, but old Apple hardware seems to accumulate for many.
I loved the product early on, but they became the Adobe Creative Cloud of cameras. Play dumb subscription games win dumb prizes.
Brilliant feature, well done Vancouver PD. A very serious boss mode. Lotus 1-2-3 wouldn't look quite right here but weather.ca is plausible.
She absolutely would have read Heidegger
Painful trying to scroll. But I will say I’ll never be as astounded as seeing a bowl of Breyers sitting on a conference room table for an hour and never losing its shape.
Who needs a roll cage?
A massively abused book that led many to justify being assholes. You don’t have to read it, here’s the Cliff’s Notes:
Care personally, challenge directly.
Hard to say, drkoop.com is a landing page now
What’s old is new again. In the 90s we used services like Submit It to get an URL into all the crawlers and indices. Now the search engines aren’t the challenge, it’s the sites targeting specific audiences.
I came to this realization after seeing developers churn out 30 minute long reads of slop documentation. It's for the agent, and the human interface to it is through the agent. Over the last week the plans that Claude has been writing for issues have been largely a single massive unreadable paragraph of awkward sentences, but it's working, the implementations from it have been solid.
Is anyone doing story point estimation in terms of tokens? If you have a token budget, does this change how you prioritize?
PSA: it’s probably time to change your furnace’s filter
“Completely acceptable” is not accurate. I’d wager that for any success story there are many stories of heartbreak due to timing and travel for TN renewal. A risk I wouldn’t advise a friend to take. But, yes, doesn’t matter anymore after last week.
Immigrant intent on a TN is a big no-no
I deeply believe this but have no strong evidence. Revenue has always been a cure all remedy. This will keep model providers alive along with the very wide range of companies that are experiencing growth with them (from chips to backhoes), for a time anyway. If/when that house of cards starts going in the other direction there’s going to be widespread pain. By analogy the nonsense of the dotcoms and that crash had a very direct impact on their suppliers (e.g. telecoms). My only advice is to let the Microsoft’s and Meta’s do the tokenmaxxing, and don’t get suckered into the idea you (startup, individual, etc) should be playing that game.
It’s really a solipsistic philosophy. The awkwardness of it was the fact he had a king and the church to appease in his arguments. Willfully forgetting Descartes is one way of dealing with it! (..or plotting a path out of it by reading him as a proto-existentialist)

Parents reads as a comment on the usefulness of applying mathematics to problems in the world (applied mathematics) and discovering mathematical problems that push mathematics forward (pure mathematics) in the process. Pure mathematics is incredibly important, but I’d hardly count it as useful if we need to wait centuries.
Love inkscape and wish it could get some engineering love around MacOS. For quick work I'll use it on MacOS, but anything deep I switch to Windows.
Social logins, email logins, password resets, multi-tenant, organizations, many to many users to organizations, etc etc. Not necessary for MVP, but can definitely be painful hacking in later if the MVP hits.
Share price can and does go up because layoffs usually means opex goes down
This is the first time I've encountered this. I want all footnotes to work this way! Otherwise I'm off into a rathole and never return. Love it.

Admittedly I might be missing a flag or two with claude, but how are multiple loops and comparisons of solutions done with just headless mode?
Maybe not adds in, but wraps around. You could accomplish much of this with fairly simply bash scripts.
xcode's new AI using claude is not performing as well as claude code for me. I've tried a couple times and quickly fall back to using vscode with xcode sitting in a window beside. I don't mind the copypaste of warnings and errors since my workflow is less vibe and more directed/iterative.
It’s been done before. Send the glassholes to Molotov’s in SF. https://sf.eater.com/2014/2/26/6272945/heres-the-video-of-th...
There was also something subtle that happened, and it seemed to happen quite rapidly, a little over a decade ago. "Maker" started being used to mean more than just 3D printing hackers and started to refer to engineers, and then others "making" things.. but the watering down wasn't the end of it, it became a way to praise a certain class of employee. The resentment that generated (say, sales, marketing, etc) and the bizarre uses of "Maker", I believe contributed to it's demise.
It can still be important as a record of who was involved in the invention. Every inventor, no more or less, needs to be credited.
