> as if just because they have more experience THEY CAN

I don't follow. Why wouldn't you believe that a senior engineer, that has been reviewing code for years, be any better at reviewing code?

Agreed. E-bikes have gotten my elderly relatives moving too. From essentially sedentary to active on a daily basis.

Teens + other able bodied people are inactive for reasons unrelated to ease of pedaling.

This is cute, but the real reason our teens are inactive & unsocial is because of awful zoning laws + exurban sprawl. It’s not realistically possible to meet your friends anywhere, their homes are too far away & there aren’t any third-spaces to spend time at.

I’ve (irregularly) donated to Zig, Janet, Blender, Godot, and Raylib. Outside of software, I have also donated to EFF (electronic frontier foundation).

If this was a strong signal for quality that many people started relying on… AI creators would just lie about it.

The only ones benefiting from this are notbyai.fyi

I don't necessarily think this is a bad goal, but the term "vibe coder" is almost certainly considered derogatory now.

I think it’s more likely that Kagi users value relevant search results & accurate information.

> Note that there have been rumours about Discord preparing to go public

That’s disappointing, but even now it’s hard to imagine they’re particularly profitable. The core functionality of Discord is entirely free and I doubt that Nitro / other paid features earn that much.

We all know this is just the starting point & they'll inevitably raise the price without good reason. However, this is genuinely what I had been asking for; none of the youtube music nonsense.

The (current, temporary) price is reasonable, so I'll probably give it a try.

EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't realize that background play wasn't included.

This is mostly my experience, except that I DO know the problems.

I don’t get to define the deadlines, that’s up to someone in a department entirely unrelated to engineering. Therefore I only have time to ship fragile, barely-tested code which is built on fragile untested legacy code.

The prison-industrial complex in the United States encourages this. While less than 10% of prisoners are in “for-profit” prisons, there’s a large industry of private companies beyond this that profit off federal prisons; in addition to providing cheap prison labor or goods made by prison laborers (AKA modern slavery)

Unfortunately this is largely not the case in North America, there is no reliable public transit outside of urban areas.

Social binge-drinking is the norm. Amongst my peers, I’d define this as drinking to the point of severe drunkenness on a roughly biweekly basis.

I think it’s genuinely frightening how normalized this is.

Interestingly, I've tried KDE multiple times on different devices & each time there's a Wifi issue that's not present in any other linux desktop. Even the steam deck's default steamos has this issue in desktop mode.

I suspect it's something related to my wireless router, but non-KDE desktops work perfectly fine so I'm mildly confused.
