JavaScript has its share of wtfs, so I wonder how much of it is which one someone experienced during some formative window in their learning. Did you encounter JS first?
I find it interesting that you can’t lie to the police but the police can (and do) lie to you. Why?
That’s just an email signature, configurable (or removable, if you prefer) by the user. This is completely different, in my opinion.
On iOS, if you swipe control center down and then back up but don’t lift your finger, the screenshot will not have the logo. I do this with Twitter so my screenshots don’t have the X logo.
I think “staggering” is a pretty accurate way of putting it if blocking ads is in the same ballpark as running a AAA game on max settings.
Instructions are data
I think the point is that worse is better. There is incredible power in a standard (mostly) predictable platform, even if it could be done better.
I mean it kinda does.
> Once you irrigate a field, that water is gone. This doesn't seem true to me, in the sense that anything is truly "gone". The water doesn't cease to exist or is converted to anything other than water. It just moves.
Agree completely about the time thing. Indeed, every time I’ve fallen into the trap of somehow believing I’ve moved “past” the time sink it inevitably has bitten me down the road when something breaks or I learn about…
I remember being the big innovation over svn being merging. There were others things, obviously, but the distributed model + easy merges is what I remember.
Any language of Python’s size and popularity will be a mess, the only difference is what parts of it.
What I find fascinating about LLMs is that a lot of their failures seem strikingly similar to the failures that humans struggle with. I’m not sure what this “means” but I think it’s interesting that we can theoretically…
I don't think this is something to laugh at. Whether or not you think it's necessary or a proper method of punishment, it isn't funny.
This matches me experience as well. Some of my earliest rsync experiences were with the Cygwin version and I can remember scratching my head and wondering why people raved about this tool that ran so slowly. Imagine my…
In my case, once I set the limit to 0 minutes and refreshed the home tab I don't see Shorts recommendations at all. There is still a Shorts tab at the bottom that tells me I have no remaining time (and allows me to…

IP addresses were always meant to be globally reachable. Of course, NAT has corrupted this - which is why NAT is a scourge.
I think AI can add a lot of functionality but on the margins. Making things “work better”. I think AI as a focal point—in that it is The feature is a mistake for most things. But making code completion work better or…
I’ve always seen the hubris as an essential component of doing things “you didn’t know you couldn’t do.” A lot of great ideas are discounted as impossible and it takes hubris to fly in the face of that perceived…
To be honest, if you’re using a tool that stores things as trees and blobs and almost every part of its functionality is influenced by that fact, then you just need to understand trees and blobs. This is like trying to…
Thanks for this, I can’t believe this never occurred to me to try to do.
If you read carefully you will see that they never said AI has a theory of mind.
Then what do we do? lol.
Personally, I think you need to chill. He wasn’t “attacking” it, he was just commenting and includes his interpretation about it being from AI. Why don’t YOU just focus on the primary point of his comments instead of…
