On the list of extremely annoying things you can put on a webpage, a cat constantly running after my cursor is definitely a new one for me.
My most hated one is not allowing me to right-click to open a context menu, or even worse, making right-click act the same as left-click, redirecting me to some page I never intended to go to.
Ivanhoe is a story about a Russian farmer and his tool.
I used to do this more often, but I find the gap is narrowing a lot. Most of the time I find I don't save enough to justify getting it in two weeks over 1 day.
Yup. My house is 50 years old and a townhome. I was killing 3-4 mice a week at one point! Got the entry points sealed and it's down to 2-3 a year. Will probably never get it down to zero because they can get in through…
I never really saw them until I started working around Vanier. Seen some huge colonies near dumpsters.
Yeah, without sealing entry points, they just keep coming. Not only can they can squeeze through tiny holes, they leave a trail of pheromones behind them letting other mice know where to come in. Mice infestations are…
People are not generally answering interview questions based on instinct, but rather based on what they think the interviewer wants to hear to get the job. I would have interpreted this is as a leetcode style algo…
It's ridiculous because LLMs are far more capable. There was just a thread on HN the other day where multiple people shared experiences being able to decrypt, reverse engineer, and update the firmware of some long…
I'm not saying LLMs will replace software developers, but this is such a ridiculous analogy that it hints to me that you've never seriously tried the latest tools.
I did this with my aftermarket Quest 3 headset strap. Added a few counterweights to the back to keep it from sliding down on my face. It is indeed much more comfortable.
Why not both?

>then you need to tell both your MP and the Minister of Public Safety of Canada to reject this legislation lol, for what reason? the LPC always gets its way
As someone who actually wrote primitive websites by hand in those days, the pages these produce are FAR more elaborate than your average webpage in those days. And divs/css? Should be using tables or gasp, iframes. This…
As an aside - anyone else really dislike the typeface used on this page? I find it difficult to read.
I wanted to upgrade to the new Paperwhite. Went through three of them with permanently lit pixels right in the middle of the screen until I gave up. Seems the quality control on these e-ink screens is really slipping.…
Your AI slop article stinks, and you should stop sharing them.
I've found two personal use cases for LLM generated code: (1) I have an idea for some app, but either I feel it won't be useful enough/save me enough time to justify developing it, or I simply don't feel the problem is…
Hey some of us are in our late thirties! :)
The roomy case and big PCB make it very nice for modding. I put almost every documented mod there is in mine. The whole left and right side of the Pactec case is covered in knobs and switches. Added an LFO too that can…
The difference is that the output of LLMs is so distinctive in style that those ideas are communicated like a shapeless gray goo. The way something is communicated is as important as the idea itself. The tool becomes…
You didn't write this post. Your LLM did. Are you proud of yourself for copy and pasting "thoughts" that aren't yours?
Oh look another AI slop article pontificating on the merits of AI slop generators. It's slop all the way down.
Same experience here in Canada. I used to think it was something rarely done until I started spending a lot of time at bars in my university days. Every night, I saw countless people driving home drunk, and often the…
