Why?

Wait... what's gaming like? Can you describe it for someone who only ever could play Unreal Tournament back in the day on Linux?

What games are available? Do you use emulators or stuff like Wine?

What doesn't inflation consider though? Government numbers on inflation make no sense to average folks.

Just because vitamin D supplements helps with rickets doesn't mean supplementation helps all the other things we seem to attribute to vitamin D.

I think a good hypothesis for the discrepancy regarding why people with "naturally" high levels of vitamin D fare better than those who do not has to do with how vitamin D is produced naturally.

If you take the vitamin orally it might help for rickets and a few other issues but if you take it naturally via sunlight you might actually be having other benefits that aren't properly measured today.

With the current state of fear surrounding sunlight I doubt people are getting enough to see benefits and all studies use oral supplements instead of time in sunshine.

An IPO can be a very volatile moment for any stock. This isn’t about AI so much as it is about an unproven company h th at is actually losing money right now.

You’ll work with Ruby but the rails part is barely relevant at Shopify.

Heat training does much of what EPO used to do. It's amazing how much science has caught up in this field.

With AGI we expect a huge return on investment and a GDP growth that could be accelerating at a rate we couldn't even comprehend. Imagine an algorithm that improves itself each iteration and finds ways to increase its capacity every day. Robots suddenly capable of doing dishes, grocery shopping, picking produce from the field. Imagine all your ailments handled... age becomes just a number.

Also with AGI we expect a winner take all situation. The first AGI system would protect itself against any other AGI system. Hence why it's go time for all these AI companies and why they stopped sharing their research.

How do you use this? Do you use opencode or another frontend?

2 reasons I can see.

Kia have way smaller and cheaper cars with less security features to market. Tesla had front page news at some point saying how they were the safest car ever produced.

Tesla is giving people driving their cars a false sense of security.

Well the notifications on your web site doesn't provide the full idea of how limited it is in Safari. We have to ask users to install the shortcut before allowing notifications with Safari. Guess how many users actually go through with installing the shortcut? Nearly none.

If we had to ask users to go into their settings and switch the "enable notifications" flag we wouldn't call that supporting anything. The whole process of installing a shortcut to even get to the point where we can ask for notifications is even more convoluted on iOS.

OMG my app just got rejected because I didn't have the right screenshots to their liking... an app specifically made to remember stuff like this LOL the irony!

For those wondering why this is a big deal it means that every developers attempting to run a development version of an iPhone, iPad or MacOS app cannot run their apps right now.

This is worse than Github being down and Apple Developers who pay 99$ a year for the privilege of writing software on this ecosystem aren't event getting a status page update: https://developer.apple.com/system-status/

Can we see this for Apple please?

I’m under the same impression. I don’t think LLMs are the path to AGI. The “intelligence” we see is mostly illusory. It’s statistical repetition of the mediocre minds who wrote content online.

The intelligence we think we recognize is simply an electronic parrot finding the right words in its model to make itself useful.

Hemingway writes like that. Hemingway editor encourages that kind of style.

We are essentially saying that our kids should be allowed to smoke cigarettes and not doing anything about it.

Don't believe this has anything other than to do with the USA's recent attacks on NATO countries.

You clearly don’t know what Apple’s nano texture is nor have you read the article.

Nano texture is not a coating. It is different than the coatings offered by competitors because of this.

Having travelled the world I can say without a doubt that this person misses the point of travel.

It isn’t about winning a trivia night. It’s about connecting deeply on a level that a Wikipedia article just cannot offer.

For the life of me I don’t understand why people absolutely insist on using JavaScript to render HTML. Backend frameworks do HTmL just fine.

DOM manipulations can be simplified to just a few actions: remove, Add, change.

The other types of manipulations and interactive features can be sprinkles of JavaScript instead of hundreds of kilobytes of the stuff.

HTMX, Hotwire/Turbo, LiveView are just so much saner to me.

Cmd+~ switches windows of a given app in case you didn't know (not disagreeing with you but it is one shortcut I find super useful and it helps switch windows).

Zed feels way snappier to me than VSCode and I love the vim mode too.

It's been like this for a while. It has been assumed that Congress doesn't have that power anymore but the president does. Here is a letter that President Obama wrote on the subject that explains it a bit (but if you want to hear more about this check 99 Percent Invisible podcast on the latest constitution breakdown series).

Location: Montreal, Canada (EST)

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Ruby on Rails, Hotwire (Turbo, Stimulus), Hotwire Native (iOS & Android), BDD/TDD. I build web + mobile apps from a single Rails codebase using Hotwire Native.

Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/garyharan/ Email: gary.haran@gmail.com

About:Senior Rails engineer / engineering leader (20+ yrs; Shopify, Circle Medical, Mirego; founder with exit experience).

Comfortable as the first engineering hire: translating product ideas into an MVP quickly, especially for non-technical founders, then building and mentoring the team post-MVP. Strong preference for Rails + Hotwire Native and early-stage startups where speed, ownership, and long-term maintainability matter.

Spirulina is not a good source of choline. You'd need about 6 cups of it per day to get it. I think the person commenting is just interested in spirulina itself and is misguided about its benefits.

The studies listed as part of this thread show people taking 3-4 grams per day for 8 weeks... that's less than 1% of choline RDI. Not very relevant to our conversation.

People have to stop trying to depend on supplements for what a diet should provide.

Neither spirulina nor chlorella are good sources of choline. For example if you had to take spirulina you'd need about 6 cups per day to reach RDI. Way to risk getting elevated uric acid, vitamin A overload or a slew of other intestinal issues.

Compare with 3-4 eggs... or 90g of beef liver I know what I would take.

Title needs to update... it is now 4.

Thank you for this article. It makes it easier to explain to newcomers to Ruby why not to use the `for` keyword.

You're seriously the exception. Everyone I have spoken to who switched to EV don't want to go back to ICE.

ICE cars have way more things that break down and less reliable for the most part. As for always having to charge... most people driving an EV recharge every night at home and rarely require a charging station. Road trips are a different story but most people don't have regular road trips.
