My gripe with some of these simple questions is that they do not provide a framework to answer the questions within.

"How often do you feel X?" With answers as "very often" means very different things to different people. For one person once a month could be very often since they expect this to never happen, while for another person a few times a day might be expected.

The problem here is that if people think that they might have a condition or be sick, it has been shown time and time again that this might emphasize the symptoms and make a person "sicker".

In addition these general questions that a lot of people can relate to will cause a lot of people to get unneeded screening, thereby straining an overloaded health service (it might be different in the US, I'm in Europe).

You massively overestimate what people actually know and read about. If you are in the tech sphere these things might be obvious to you, but I assure you regular people are not keeping track as closely.

I bet at most 10 % of people in the West can name the CEO of OpenAI.

"Lørdagsgodteri" here in Norway was always restricted though. I read your comment as if kids have unlimited access to candy, which I have never heard of. The idea is that the parents give the kids the amount of candy allowed, and they only do that in saturdays.

Pretty cool! I love that these battle proven editors (emacs and (n)vim) seem to follow along with new technology, even though one might think overwise given their age.

I hope this comes to vim as well!

I agree with the notion here that things are moving so fast that most blog posts will be outdated quickly.

However posts like this is valuable for new people to get a basic understanding of how these tools could be used in a very simple, beginner friendly, setup.

I would love a comparison between all these new tools, like this with Claude Code, opencode, aider and cortex.

I just can’t get an easy overview of how each tool works and is different

I'm continuing to be amaxed at the astral team and what they do for Python. It's become so "bad" now that when I use Rust or OCaml I find myself constantly annoyed by the build systems. What a great time to be alive!

Will it support Django stubs? Only blocker for my company to switch

Looks great, I would love to test it out. Is an iOS/iPadOS release scheduled for the near future?

All apps with the Google SDK crashes. Even Google Maps!

The last error message on their credit cards endpoint reads «This API method has been temporarily disabled due to exceptionally high traffic». It might be a DDoS attack.

I'm currently a student, so with the great benefits of student loans in my country I am able to afford an OK standard of living.

I am currently working in my startup with some friends. I believe firmly that what I do is everyone's dream, though the need to have a stready income is greater for most.

I also have a part time job at the university, so I do have some sources of income. My startup provides no income, and takes a lot of time.

You can be happy both working at a company, and you can feel ownership to something you have made for that company, even though it might be labeled without your name. It all comes down to what you really want.

In any case I would say the time to try something for yourselves would be before you have ties somewhere, being a wife/kids, a car etc.

If you are fortunate enough to be able to live a good period of time with no money, and are prepared to work literally every hour of your day for a long, long time, I would go for it. If not the need to survive will become greater.

When creating something, unless you utterly hate the concept of the very thing you are making, I would say you gain a sense of ownership towards it. If you made the Paper app for Facebook you would certainly be proud of yourself.
