I would've assumed it was hardcoded. Not a generic solution for any loop involving a recurring variable.

Pluvia development has stopped and the devs recommended switching to GameNative.

Does Microsoft gain useful information about product UX from this? Wondering if any Excel PMs watch this and see where micro-optimizations are made.

There's an impedance mismatch between what developers want (work on advanced features & clean code) and users want (have a product that fits their specific workflow then gets out of the way).…

If my company has an existing Cursor subscription, can we get Graphite for free?

I do not use Copilot for coding. I use other assistants now. Copilot code review is amazing. I use it all the time.

It sounds stupid but it works. I've seen it. I put Copilot on AI-generated slop PRs and hit refresh until it stops commenting. It's great seeing it take out all the dead code.

We do this at work and it's amazing.

Many are just doing SWE for the money. Their goal is to pass the hot potato to someone else, so they can say in the standup "oh I'm waiting on review" making it not their problem.

Embedded systems that EEs code for are like this. I have to explicitly opt into processes and objects in Keil RTX. I also get to control memory layout. Abstraction layers are terrible when you need to…

I would accept this because it'll increase demand for SWEs and prevent us from losing our jobs.

The original comment said: > an article that claims AI is oddly not as bad when it comes to generating gobbledegook Ironically, Coderabbit wants you to believe AI is worse at generating gobbledeg…

Coderabbit is an LLM code review company so their incentives are the opposite. AI is terrible and you need more AI to review it. fwiw, I agree. LLM-powered code review is a lifesaver. I don't u…

I went to a school in downtown Toronto and we had 10 minute breaks every hour in lectures. I also knew a ton of classmates who smoked. Starting to wonder if the two are correlated.

Week 1: 64 interns Week 2: 32 interns Week 3: 16 interns Week 4: 8 interns Week 5: 4 interns Week 6: 2 interns Week 7: 1 intern Week 8: 0.5 interns Is it possible to make it to the end of the summer w…

I'm replying to the comment saying "you need glasses" to say that the best font for people that need glasses is free.

The most legible font is Atkinson Hyperlegible, which is free and developed by the Braille institute. https://www.brailleinstitute.org/freefont/ I never see people using it becau…

The folks with big titles need to determine if the company's technical strategy is cloud-agnostic and whether 1000x growth in Q4 is a legitimate concern. If Big Title wants to own the schedule im…

> I find it confusing when Unicode "shadows" of normal letters exist, and those are of course also dangerous in some cases when they can be mis-interpreted for the letter they look more o…

Does Czechia really have 4 million square miles and NaN population?

I don't understand why anyone would use auto and a trailing return type for their functions. The syntax is annoying and breaks too much precedent.

Carbon fibre has poor compressive strength and good tensile strength. That makes it inherently bad at holding pressure from outside in a submarine and good at holding pressure inside a spaceship or ai…

Selinux and AppArmor? Android has it figured out too.

"I don't care about x" clearly indicates a lack of want but is considered ruder than "I don't want x".

Many of my university classmates would give up on more than one paragraph so I'd say we're already there.

I have a modest proposal for dealing with future unemployment.
