Parents would magically learn parental controls overnight if it were a fineable offense to have social media on kids phones. Age gating isn't about helping parents protect their kids--it is a hail mary by regressives for control.

Wow. If true, Amazon's development practices are somehow much worse than I would have ever imagined. They are living in the plot line of a Silicon Valley episode.

The mistake in this reasoning is just because people can do something 20% faster doesn't mean they will do 20% more work. There are also questions about the quality of that work that is being completed more quickly.

In practice a subset of weird rich people will try to min/max child rearing in weird ways as they always have, and almost everyone else will continue selecting partners and having children mostly normally. The typical person is not so nihilistic as to terminate a pregnancy based on some height...

It's inevitable that most streaming services will go out of business and the remaining will run tons of ads, simply due to original content being so incredibly expensive to produce. With services getting worse by the day, people should seriously reconsider whether they need entertainment...

I use LLMs as a replacement for stack overflow and don't waste time vibecoding. It's a better search experience overall, but information on software libraries is drifting further out of date.

Part of my profession as of recently has been recovering vibecoded projects and turning them into real products. The people who built these prototypes thought they were nearly finished, when they were not. These things are nowhere near replacing talented engineers and you don't have to use them.

This is a wild statement. Corporations employ armies of workers for what basically boils down to communication and operations.

And yet to their core product is basically the same as it was last year. They're burning mountains of cash on a spam generator with no path to profitability or intelligence.

Upscaling is not the norm for high-end phone cameras. Haven't been on traditional social media in a while, but I don't recall Facebook et all doing upscaling either... And why would they? More pixels means more cost. Filters generally seemed like they typically removed a lot of detail or added...

Phone cameras tend to work in the opposite way. They have higher megapixel sensors than the resulting images.

Load times are factored into rankings. Not rendering HTML on initial load for a marketing website is busch league.

SSR is needed for SEO and good initial render times. Legacy technologies have been able to fetch enough data quickly enough for a full server render for decades now. The problem in my experience is that current meta-frameworks try and replace server-side frameworks like express and nest rather...

I've been testing out the various implementations of server functions recently as part of my contract work, and I have to say they don't really solve React's SSR problem. Server functions are a downgrade from running fetch against REST endpoints in seemingly every way. What React really needs is...

Once again, their loss will be my profit. Will be averaging if it continues going down in the coming months/year.

Privatized healthcare as we have it in the US is way more expensive than it would be nationalized. European doctors are not underpaid, our US doctors are massively overpaid and overworked. They created guilds which keep medical school admissions artificially low to induce demand. So I get to pay...

You can on Windows. I'm not out here telling people to skip Steam OS and install some other Linux desktop lol

Your browser can. And you can use the controller to do it.

Steam OS is not needed for the controller friendly interface. Big picture mode can be opened from game controllers.

What kind of battery life can you expect with different configurations?
