Why is building a wall racist?

Because the president of the US is trying to deflect attention from wanting to sleep with his daughter, having a sex trafficking friend and probably sleeping with children, and being bad at starting wars by blaming foreigners for Americas problems?

But you know this already.


Those are all terrible things but none of them are racist, unless the word has a new meaning.

Disgusting? Xenophobic? Sure.


I, for one, am over the sealioning of MAGA. Why ever engage with someone who literally never engages in good faith?

That doesn't make it any less interesting :)


It does. Some people would still be interested but lots of people would not. The net interestingness would certainly decrease.


Here I was thinking 1MB still feels way too large.


What does the average zigger do?


Wish the article was written by a human. When I read lines like: “Agents draft. I approve. Agents execute.”

I convulse a bit.


A simple qemu virtual machine is nice and quick to spin up. I mainly work inside an openbsd or linux virtual machine. I use a different vm for each project and I have a "sandbox" vm I use to run random things I download/test.


Decent updates but still lacks a lot of small polish. One thing that annoys me is the mouse cursor. I wish it would disappear when typing or idle.


Yes— this is annoying. At first I thought my sound wasn’t working. Took a while to figure it out…


We had a "Karl" at my first engineering job. Karl happened to be our team lead, but he produced a lot of Karl code. Many expletives and facepalms in that office. It got so bad, a member on our team that was highly religious asked to have their own office (and he got it).


I do all of my code by hand. I don't even use an LSP. It makes sense as long as it makes sense to you.

You don't need to change the way you do things because of some perceived thing you're missing out on. That is what the AI companies want you to feel and think because it benefits them.

This applies to more than AI, but programming language choices and more. Heck, it even applies to social issues and politics :)

Make your own choices and walk your own path.


I am already being forced to use Claude for all coding in my job. All personal projects/code I still write by hand. This has always been the fun part of software development for me.


Which is great and why I started coding too. But for my day job I can’t have an employee deliver 1/4 of the code of someone using AI and ask for a full paycheck.


This, the FOMO is real, but giving in to it based on others perceptions is naive
