It's not in survival mode, they have a pretty large endowment and low dev spend they'd like to increase. The number of edits per week has been roughly steady for years, and their revenue per year has been increasing steadily. Their hosting costs are hyper-optimized and tiny; they spend much more on programmers and lawyers.

Is this really easy in the AI era? It seems like the repetitive, verifiable work that the agents should be good at.

fwiw Cash App Taxes doesn't charge for anything and supports most scenarios common among tech workers like backdoor Roth IRA; it mainly doesn't support part-year or multiple state returns.

The author's critiques seem nit-picky to me. I'd like to hear from somebody that follows this, scrolling through SciAm articles published in the past few years, it seems like the bulk of content is still normal popular science. While it does publish a large chunk of partisan opinions now, a lot of them are pretty normal party-line defenses of democrats and their causes with respect to science, health, and whatnot. While I see they published a half-dozen or so articles defending gender-affirming care in youth, it's not like this is so central to the rag that this was mentioned on the covers. Is the author trying to rationalize an aversion to partisan politics in a magazine coming from a nation with a climate change denialist party?

Probably would categorize this under "teh futurez!1!" in the original article

KYM is super biased in what ends up there, as it leans heavily towards 4chan and Reddit content, with heavy amounts of Twitch and certain genres in YouTube. It's missing a lot of memes popular among girls, especially from Tumblr. Similarly, it doesn't have a lot of TikTok trends & tropes that I'd consider to be memes.

After riding in both Cruise and Waymo cars in SF, I think that Waymo cars are so much more road-ready. While my Waymo rides all seemed pretty smooth albeit with a timid driver, my cruise rides featured extremely skittish behavior around other cars, missing several turns to avoid being around others, and stopping in odd places, especially for dropoff and pickup.

Has someone made a VSCode extension for this yet?

I think the future of hackathon/startup coding will involve tools to make infrastructure that's far more cookie cutter and easy to setup than today. This is a cool approach - starting with Rust is a ballsy move, though. I feel like the niche this serves for rapid prototyping might be more suited for python/typescript. Not sure if static analysis is easier or harder with those though.

For housing, like many issues, it's definitely partisan. One party is anti-density and one is a big-tent umbrella. Elizabeth Warren was on the podium saying, "build, build, build!" during primary debates, while both Trump & traditional Republicans grumble about liberals "destroying the suburbs."

I went to Georgia Tech 2016-2020. CS 2803, 4803, and 8803 are all codes for special topics courses that haven't been standardized or established, so the class you linked is pretty obscure. The reddit thread you linked is 9 years old. I think the heavy emphasis on OOP in the GaTech CS intro sequence is the most outdated bit, with the worst offender being the "Objects and Design" course with lectures involving a dated and useless picture of enterprise Java design and a group project involving either programming an Android app or a JavaFX app:

Agree with these takes. My company's system having the channel #eng-<team name>-lobby as a q/a forum for all teams has been incredible for spreading information, although I could imagine some cultures where it wouldn't work as well. The emojis they have for "Thank you" and "I'm looking into it" seem a bit ambiguous; my company has several "thank you" emotes, but nothing dedicated to the latter. Not sure what we should add.

To Instagram, which they already bought
