This is extra rough because Codex defaults to letting the model be MUCH more autonomous than Claude Code. The first time I tried it out, it ended up running a test suite without permission which wiped out some data I…
Honestly I think React DX kinda sucks, at least in some areas. Performance is one of the worst (`useMemo` and `componentShouldUpdate` are way to easy to ignore, constant re-renders are the norm and writing performant…
It's been interesting seeing several comments like this in the comments, since Laravel's docs may be one of the most highly-praised aspects of the framework. I suspect the divide may be that newer developers get…
I disagree, at least in this specific context. With Laravel Cloud you build a standard Laravel application which can be deployed anywhere, then use the service to handle DevOps for you. Because it doesn't include any…
This is true, if you're billing your hypothesis as a hypothesis. The problem is that prominent Republicans billed their "election was stolen" hypothesis as a fact, claimed to have boatloads of evidence in order to…
It's well established that adults who read incorrect information frequently don't find out it was wrong and become more skeptical of the source. Some people operate that way, but it's a small minority unfortunately. In…
Moderated media leans left. At least some of the reason it ends up that way is that many of the people who violate incredibly reasonable rules are conservative. Certain groups of hard-right people will say some…
Assuming that random factors like "it rained" or "voters got in car accidents and couldn't make it to the polls" aren't a significant factor, there's always a 100% probability of one specific candidate winning since…
Serious question - what do you think will happen to AI that currently relies on human reporters if everyone switches to getting their news from AI and the reporters lose their jobs? Morals aside, AI will run into…
I'll confess - I have a project that uses Heroku's managed Postgres and my preferred upgrade method is to set the maintenance window to the middle of the night, create a backup, and be awake at 1am to make sure that…
Proposal: Apply a ceiling function to your pizza-counting algorithm and always leave the last slice in the freezer. Then simply throw out that slice when you want a new pizza!
Depends how you define "a lot" - rural areas make up 20% of the population of the US, so you might need some rural voters but not necessarily a lot (percentage of actual voters may vary, but I don't have those numbers…
I think it's easy to say that as someone who wouldn't vote for them, but the Republican party faces the same problem as the Democratic party there. Many Republican and Democratic voters only choose their party because…
I think what Tauri is getting blamed for is the decision to always use the native web renderer, which IMO is fair because that was a design choice they made. Personally I think the ideal scenario would be allowing…
Yeah, the anxiety with serious food allergies is real. I haven't had a reaction in nearly 22 years and I don't even remember what it feels like, but religiously avoiding a dangerous food from a young age you can have…
The question is whether children who are already in school are likely to develop an allergy due to lack of exposure at that point in their lives. If the answer is no, the only downside is parents having to make a…
A while back I was using Simple as my bank because their app was the best budgeting tool I'd been able to find. Once it shut down I moved to a spreadsheet, and by comparison it was super painful. I basically replicated…
I wonder what the definition of "developer portal" is here exactly... It's definitely possible to make a bad one by requiring an onboarding process to access it and hiding information from the public, but I think…
Yeah, I think the education system's expectations for reading comprehension went down the drain a while ago. When I was in middle school I scored well enough on the reading comprehension section of my state's…
I'd like to propose an alternative: it’s the equivalent of banning bananas to prevent burglaries.
It might also have something to do with acquired taste - maybe people who can tolerate artificial sweeteners have simply gotten used to the weird flavors they add and don't taste them anymore?
We are in a sad state of bloat. 99% of what people do on their computers now goes through a web browser, and opening lots of tabs chews through RAM like nothing else.
I don't like MacOS these days, I like the idea of being able to repair my computer if something breaks, and I want the option to at least attempt data recovery if I have a drive failure.
These days I want Apple's hardware (the M chips specifically, but the trackpads/screens/cases are nice too) but can't stand their software. While I'm not a big fan of Windows either, it at least provides basic window…
Honestly if I'm doing quick dirty prototyping I want to have as many tools provided for me as possible. I probably won't use most of them, but spinning up a quick Laravel project gives me built-in shortcuts for stuff…
