I always thought it was rlstne. I might be conflating English letter distribution with Wheel of Fortune letter ordering.

Are you kidding me? That was real? I laughed that off as AI BS and went about my day.

This was a fascinating, well written article.

I swear I'm not trying to criticize, but, uh--why only 10 or so photos? Why not just film it long term? Is it our position in earth's orbit that only lets us image that system once a year or so?

I love this! I'm writing short stories and I use Astro to build the site, I generate sharable qr codes and epubs for every story as well as the whole, and I use gh-pages to push to GitHub pages.

And I hear you about over-engineering. I feel like a Linux user--spending more time getting my laptop just right instead of using it. I have to remind myself that the point of it is the result, not the process.

Okay, the article I read on HN yesterday about the ram shortage crippling inexpensive devices feels relevant here. As far as I can tell, the article treats the low memory capacity as a foolish business decision rather than perhaps a required economic decision.

Like, I didn't see a single mention of why they chose 8GB while recommending 16GB. It's like a straw man argument: why not at least explore possible causes?

In case you didn't already know or haven't considered it, you can find right-angle usb-c MagSafe adaptors that basically allow the charging cable to disconnect from the device like MagSafe.

Oh, wow--what if Big Ketchup is behind this? Huge, if true.

So, hold on--the author's soul-breaking complaint isn't all of the "quirks" and inconsistencies with the Date functions, but rather the fact that it's an object? Specifically, an object with mutable properties in a language when all objects have mutable properties?

I mean, the author's conclusion is correct. But I disagree with the rationale. It's like hating an evil dictatorship because they use the wrong font in their propaganda.

Here's my brilliant idea: the longer it takes for an answer to be marked correct, or the more answers there are before one is marked correct, the more points that answer deserves.

Surely you're being hyperbolic. I've seen some atrocious UX before. Maybe what you mean is it's a good idea but the scrolling part should be list-based instead of page-based.

It's not that the product you're building is a commodity. It's that the tools you're using to built it are. Why not build a landing page using HTML and CSS and tailwind? Why not use swift to make an app? Why not write an AWS lambda using JavaScript?

This reads like "Hey, we're not vibe coding, but when we do, we're careful!" with hints of "AI coding changes the costs associated with writing code, designing features, and refactoring" sprinkles in to stand out.
