I, a Millenial with a very active voter record, increasingly do. What seems to be the problem? Perhaps I should point out that representatives still must bring issues to bear, and the age of the average representatives has only very recently dipped into even high Gen X territory. Regardless, if your goal is to spread a little bit of the recent blame around, by all means, don't let me stop you. We should do something about it.
I remain convinced that RSC and the SSR craze was a result of someone (or multiple) people needing a raise and their friends wanting to start a company selling abstract compute. Statically hydrated, minimal React was pretty great when served over good CDN infrastructure. Then I watched the bundle sizes and lock-in balloon. That second article is a dragon slayer. It really lays out the problem with React. In marrying itself to Next.js and embracing the server, it's betrayed the platform. Meanwhile, the platform itself has matured. React practically built my career, and I just don't have a reason to choose it anymore.
Okay, but where do you put it? I mean, yes, I know there's /usr/local/bin and /opt/bin, but why do I have to compile then mv it myself? It's a small paper cut. Does cargo or go have a global build command? That would be a nice all-in-one. And why should I have to download the source code if, honestly, I don't care as long as it works? Nah, I don't think build from source has taken over at all. It's 2025 and I use a package manager (or three) on every major operating system across multiple languages. It's because, as a vendor experience, I can one-line and use just about anything.
That's a big question. I think TUIs are great for glue processes, and it doesn't hurt when they look pretty. They're also excellent first projects with composable interfaces. Shell code is such a pain. It's quick and dirty, but there are a lot of footguns. The main challenge is reducing the friction of making a TUI to the point where it's easy to execute an idea, and a lot of frameworks do this really well. Add the proliferation of LLMs on top, and maybe that could explain it?
Some of the most interesting projects here have the worst installation stories.It's sort of tilting at windmills to not acknowledge that people are going to mostly install through package managers for their platform by advertising it as such. I'm not suggesting there's anything wrong with building from source. On the contrary, I think it's fantastic as many targets are supported here as there are! I think it's a shame more people aren't discovering them is all.
gTLDs have no registration/renewal price cap. This probably doesn't mean much to you now, and statistically, it probably never will, but if it ever does... Yikes!
The best part of this is I watched Sam Altman say he really thinks fusion is a short period of time away in response to a question about energy consumption a couple years ago. That was the moment I knew he's a quack.
Heh, according to the other guy he could get fired and replaced with AI because of his ego. For the less than subtle, I wasn't implying that it was good or bad. I was just pointing out the irony of criticizing centralized moderation on a site with centralized moderation.
As for whether or not pay makes a difference, I think you probably have a point, but I'm sure there's still wiggle room there.
It is really weird how some sessions with claude are better than others despite similar tasks. I'm certain it's not sleep deprivation or something else. Sometimes it gets on a hot streak by accidentally discovering the right tools to use. It's like an unstable solder joint or something. It's very difficult to guide it. When you do it overfits hard.
I didn't bother to cite my sources at the time, and it seems that was a mistake. I used careless language. The overwhelming majority are Californians, at least as much as I have any right to claim to be. They lived in California for a significant enough period of time that they didn't necessarily intend to just become homeless. However, you're correct that a simple majority, not the vast majority, are native Californians.
> People experiencing homelessness in California are Californians. Nine out of ten participants lost their last housing in California; 75% of participants lived in the same county as their last housing (Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative - UCSF, page 5, June 2023)[0].
> Two-thirds (66%) were born in California[0].
> Where were you living at the time you became most recently became homeless?[1]
85.39% answered Santa Clara county in a survey conducted on homelessness in Santa Clara county conducted by the county government around the same time. 54.12% of those answered that they'd lived in Santa Clara county for more than ten years, with the next largest percentage, 21.26%, having lived there for 1-4 years.
Agreed, but just so no one latches onto what I think you meant as a joke, the overwhelming majority of homeless people in California are native Californians.
Ah, you're right. Something else I'm curious about with these systems is how they'll affect difficulty level. If AI handles the majority of easy cases, and radiologists are already at capacity, so they crack if the only cases they evaluate are now moderately to extraordinarily difficult?
I mean, we already have deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums. If anything, this kind of policy could align with that because it's prophylactic. We can ensure we maximize the amount we retrieve from you before care kicks in this way. Yeah, it tracks.
Moreover some images SHOULD NOT have alt text or at least shouldn't have their associated alt text displayed in all contexts. I put this in all caps because this is a pervasive and common myth. Granted, all images on Bluesky probably should have alt text because ostensibly an image as part of a post is probably content. However, in cases where an image is purely decorative and not meaningfully relevant to the page, a blind or low-vision person doesn't need to, nor do they want to, hear your weird interpretation of some abstract art. If you disagree, take it up with W3C. This isn't just my opinion.
I'm curious how many people would want a second opinion (from a human) if they're presented with a bad discovery from a radiological exam and are then told it was fully automated.
I have to admit if my life were on the line I might be that Karen.
Everyone has an ego. Everyone wants to exercise their power their way when it's their time to shine. I wish I could upvote this twice. If you are reading the above early in your career, please don't take the comment as cynical. It doesn't have to be. Rather, look for it as the sign that you're ready to find your next role. Companies will never clearly give you that. This is often the closest heuristic you'll find, and if you take advantage of it with the right timing, you can leave with grace. If someone asks you why you're leaving, keep it to yourself.
No! It is the company’s job to price their service to cover costs. I get to decide if I pay. Tipping does not make exploitation any less real. Of course I tip when necessary. That's besides the point.
Delivery seems expensive now because it was only ever made cheap by underpaying workers, giving them no benefits, making them cover their own car costs, and forcing them to rely on tips to survive. The truth is, having someone drive your pad thai and curry across town costs real money, and I’d rather pick it up myself than keep pretending cheap delivery was ever anything but exploitation.
You could say that. Professional plumbers often love to use tools built to make the lives of DIY plumbers easier too though. The difference is they know when and when not to do so.
The framing makes it seem as if valuing stability is somehow inferior while elevating financial growth. This makes me think our financial and housing systems have become so distorted that it has infected our thinking. Adult humans are often super resilient, but kids aren't. Moreover, even adults have limits. I don't want to live in a system filled with chaos just because it makes some intangible number go up. We're all going to die one day. What will we leave behind, material or otherwise? Stability seems very underrated.
Another protip: the midwest is not every state that isn't New York or California. The South exists too. There is nothing quite like telling someone what state you are from in LA and then being asked, "What was it like growing up in the midwest?" when you didn't.
I used to have a Honeywell wi-fi thermostat. It looked like any other thermostat you've ever seen, except you could connect it to a home hub. It was nice because you could exactly what you're describing, but you could also do it in the app.
What made it worth it was being able to turn off the air or heat when you weren't home automatically. Now all or the "AI training" garbage? Yeah, forget that. I used to work in an office with a nest and it was torture if you showed up too early if stayed a little too late.
