I have similar feelings. I am sympathetic to a perspective that says this is not the responsibility of a mayor of a single city... But also; who else is going to do it? Normal people have very little say over the…
Canadian here. My exposure to this topic is mostly: - News coverage about how extremely hot it has become in north/central Europe - News coverage/comments about heat-related deaths in Europe - People suddenly…
I find it unintentionally hilarious to see our weather reporting channel (Weather Network in Canada) constantly ringing the "extreme weather warning" bell! They manage to have an alert or warning at least every week. In…
So sad, such a lack of fortitude. Canadian here. Window air conditioning units work in any fully-openable window. They are $150CAD. Portable air conditioners work in almost every configuration of openable window. They…
Such a scold-y attitude. Window air conditioning units work in any fully-openable window. They are $150CAD. Portable air conditioners work in almost every configuration of openable window. They are $250-500CAD. It does…
I'm building a new feature into our product this week. We each get a $20/mo Claude subscription. My 5-hour context high water mark is ~75% and weekly is ~%15. I ... tell it exactly what I know needs to be done and then…

I started using a self-hosted RSS reader (which is how I found your article) with curated lists of things. I used to read Google Chrome's feed articles but they are a trash fire of bullshit now. Next, I'm going to try…
For me, they just never did anything useful. I have light switches that work nicely. If voice transcription + LLMs + conversational AI had been good in 2017 I might have used my google home speaker, but the quality of…
My journey. Raw PHP + SQL Queries -> Python + server-side rendered HTML -> Ruby/Python APIs + ugly JS frontends -> Python + EmberJS (remember that?!) -> Go/Ruby/Python/I don't care anymore + React. My problems with…
My low value comment. This feels directionally correct to me. The problems I've been struggling with in my dev job for the past 6 months have been 80% maintenance/legacy code interfering with new feature development.…
