Yeah but in that case main is shorter, still understandable, and has the same autocomplete. It’s actually an improvement.
Re:Plan Mode Is Dead on Monday September 28, 2026 @07:54AM (#49876586)
I’ve been trying it out on a personal project. It’s been going well. The only difficulty I’ve had is getting it to work with cloud sessions on Claude.

Checking this out, the skill it wants me to add to my project seems to reference issues that wouldn't make sense in the context of my project. IE: `QPPR7PE` and `MBB6WY5` ?

Isn’t a lot of Rails dev done by Shopify and Intercom these days instead of by DHH companies?

Can any OS gracefully handle switching between WiFi and Ethernet without at least a blip in connectivity?
Re:Why I'm still bearish on LLMs after navier-stokes on Wednesday September 16, 2026 @08:07AM (#49725641)
I often don’t see agents reaching for available or potential tools/libraries unless explicitly told to.

Sometimes they’ll even manually search or write bespoke code to search json instead of using something like jq.

Surprised it doesn't mention LISTEN / NOTIFY.
I believe radio across Europe was largely ad free and had a different business model. The BBC for example.
Re:1k Data Breaches Later, the Disclosure Lag Is Worse on Monday June 08, 2026 @10:07AM (#48445578)
We need to attach actual monetary amounts to PII. If a company loses the data they owe you that money. The money is increased based on how and if they disclosed the leak. Lying about a leak should be a criminal offense.

This would would allow engineers to better be able to prioritize security, which typically gets ignored or put low in priority.

Very difficult to use on mobile.
You can set Kagi as the default search engine today on iOS. Unless I’m misunderstanding.
Re:Vivaldi 8.0 on Thursday May 21, 2026 @07:44AM (#48221065)
I’m pretty sure Brave and Vivaldi are both based on Chromium/Blink not WebKit.
Something must be wrong with your computer. I don't see objectionable content when I turn mine on? I'd have to actively seek out objectionable content and I don't even have any sort of filtering or parental controls enabled on my own devices.
The example you give doesn’t really track. If a drug dealer is outside the entrance of your home it’s completely unavoidable. A kid looking at adult material online? Entirely within the control of the parents. We already have filtering and monitoring software.

I know several parents that limit screen time, require screen usage be restricted to public areas of the home, have parental controls and filtering operating etc.. some of the parents I know won’t even let their kids watch a movie unless they screen it first.

It’s been my experience that developers running Mac already know how to use Linux and actively choose to use Mac. Unless the company is forcing it at least.

Sure, it’s stopping some, but not most/all even with strong public opposition.

Re:Claude Design on Saturday April 18, 2026 @04:17PM (#47819183)
I don’t know a single engineer that has been terminated and replaced with AI. I know lots of engineers that were terminated due to shifting jobs offshore for cost savings, over hiring during COVID, and a poor economy.
Re:Why Japan has such good railways on Saturday April 18, 2026 @12:37PM (#47817225)
NIMBY seems to have a hard time stopping data centers. Why do they have more success stopping renewables and rail?
AI still uses search engines though.
> It's costing a lot, it's not bringing much.

It kinda depends on what you mean by “much”, but we’ve certainly had advances from the ISS in the last decade.

Several experiments with microgravity manufacturing such as ZBLAN fiber optics, 3D bioprinting, and other medical technologies. Microgravity manufacturing can offer some significant quality improvements and prevent settling.

There are other improvements as well. Foundational research is very important and space has a solid track record of delivering science that we turn into very useful technology on earth.

It’s amazing how often an LLM mocks or stubs some code and then writes a test that only checks the mock, which ends up testing nothing.
Is it the public’s job to police what your son does or is it your job?

It’s because the people that built and maintain the SPAs were beat into submission with the “SSR” bad message. Now people want them to do SSR again.

The recommendations from this are surprisingly good.
Upload, download, latency, and how many options to choose from are what I looked for the last time I bought a house.

I actually asked some of the neighbors about it and called local ISPs.

Re:Thinking out loud about 2nd-gen email on Sunday May 19, 2024 @01:21PM (#40408323)
My work email is virtually useless at this point due to the absurd quantities of spam I receive. I think the OP suggestions would actually make email less shitty.

Any communication medium that is cheap and easy will be relentlessly abused by spammers.

Re:Thinking out loud about 2nd-gen email on Saturday May 18, 2024 @10:47AM (#40399481)
Email being so cheap and easy is is a significant component of spam, which is a technical problem to a degree. Spam on Signal, text message, voicemail, Discord, etc… is significantly less present for various reasons (cost, complexity, etc…)
Re:Hertz is ditching even more electric cars on Saturday April 27, 2024 @08:37PM (#40184902)
I’ve rented Teslas from Turo three times and the experience was seamless and delightful. The car was dropped off and picked up from my house and everything just worked. Phone keys, supercharger access, full charge when dropped off (basically).

I think the traditional rental places are just incompetent or under investing.
