I'm struggling to imagine how this can be the case in 2026 on a news website covering, of all places, San Francisco. What COBOL mainframe do they have rendering this page?

We live in an era when you can simply clone the repo and ask the agent of your choice to port it to Android for you. I'd be shocked if it cost more than ~$10 in tokens from any provider on the market.

What’s notable about this article is not its literal conclusion, which is obvious to any casual observer, it’s the publisher - I haven’t been following it lately, but for decades National Review was the preeminent Limbaugh-school right-wing magazine in America, so for its editors to be taking this position so clearly feels significant. These days the Trump Right has rags like The Epoch Times, so maybe they don’t need Buckley’s soapbox anymore?

It is - it ‘cheats’ by reading off the NTFS MFT, similarly to another indispensable piece of Windows software Everything Search, both of which I miss keenly on my underprovisioned work Mac.

Based on the author’s choice of websites to mention blocking in the Readme, they seem to be Dutch, where “world cup” is “Wereldbeker”

I wouldn’t have taken this project seriously without the byline on this post of Drew DeVault. Glad he’s doing ok.

> We have a blip in March / April every year; these cyclical patterns aren’t relevant to explain here.

The 'blip' post-AI is up ~30% for the months in question. There simply isn't enough data here to prove or disprove the thesis that "customer issues remain broadly stable" - you could equally argue something more along the lines of "AI engineering does not increase issues under ideal conditions but amplifies issues under external pressure."

The very first image is captioned:

> An image generated by artificial intelligence

If you share this link on another platform, that image is the one that gets embedded, without the caption.

This is shockingly bad. There should be laws against this.

Friend. You gotta write your own comments. It feels so gross to get a response that’s so obviously from an llm, I would rather you not have replied to me at all. I will not be using your app.

This is a compelling idea, but it doesn't seem to work. Running it on a yml I'm working on currently, it skipped all my setup actions and then failed because the dependencies it needed weren't set up (why did you think I wrote them?) There doesn't seem to be a way to force-run a skipped step.

It's the same file, you just rename it to end in '.html'

Standard always struck me as kind of scummy - it tries to present itself as something bigger than what it really is, which is a tiny CLI wrapper around one guy’s ESLint config. You have to scroll way down the FAQ section before ESLint even gets mentioned. The author is just squatting on the “standard” namespace and using it to blag his way into relevance. Think how much more good it would do if the sponsors of this project were actually supporting ESLint directly instead of this useless middleware.

This is normal, most people are like this. The idea that there’s something out there that you’re just amazing at without even trying very hard is a trap and believing it will destroy your life. You just have to pick something you want to be good at and do it until you are.
