I was wondering about this. I wonder if there are insurance products to close this gap? Or maybe some banks offer accounts with different kinds of purchase protection. I'm with you. While I'm no fan of the risk involved…
Not GP, but for starters, the MSRP for that car in China is $32k. https://www.carsdb.com/en/news/1476 I get that's an apples-to-oranges comparison, considering that labor and material costs (not to mention subsidies and…

This is huge, thank you.
Since you're using HTMX, I have to ask: do you have any tips or idioms for composing complex forms and UI without things getting out of hand? I love the approach, but I'm having a bad time figuring out where the ideal…

Just a guess: if you want to scale a sprite at anything less than a whole ratio (e.g. 1.5, 0.7, etc), you have to choose pixels to drop out and pixels to repeat , on some pattern that looks good. There are going to be…
Water consumption and localized atmospheric heating have been cited elsewhere as drawbacks. There have been some articles citing noise/vibration pollution (subsonic?) but I'm not completely convinced on that front.…
100% agree. Not only was VC++6 a stand-out product overall, but it was easily the better IDE out of the crop of options at the time. Sadly, the product line got worse before VSCode came out. Things are much better now.
I completely get the concept and agree - this is great way to build this kind of durability in a workflow system. That said, my gamer-brain wants to call this "Save-scumming at scale." Which is to say, a lot of people…
I hear you on vendor lock-in. Everyone's freaked out about other companies getting the upper-hand with AI in the loop, so there's this charge to use the hell out of it at all costs. Meanwhile, we're quietly picking…
Interesting article. I appreciate the range of perspectives here, and the overall pitch to keep the most experienced in frame along side new-fangled advancements (AI). The "speed" loop reminds me a lot of RAD. In fact,…

I've heard people describe this phenomenon in basically two ways: - It's all relative to your teenage years, which splits up generations as a result. - The past is another country. The good news is: taste and disgust…

You are correct. You absolutely must fill the token space with unanbiguous requirements, or Claude will just get "creative". You don't want the AI to do creative things in the same way you don't want an intern to do the…
