I think most undergrad level course on probability expose you to measure theory _without_ telling you they are measure theory.

What about discoverability?

Multirow tab ai't pretty, but it allows you to know all your tabs -- unlike the modern scrollable tab bar that move one pixel on each click.

I guess this depends on you are using mouse clicks or have a touch screen you can swipe


The part where the rows switch order based on the last one you clicked so if you're searching you can't be systematic without an amazing memory is POISON for discoverability.

Start on the top left tab, now it's on the bottom row. Thanks.


The practice was there before the spec

Which the parent poster said in their comment?

I guess this is related, but I knew too little to tell: Safari can't do MJPEG in <img>.

Ink reminder is annoying, but marginally relevant to printer.

I have yet to see an linkage from LG monitor to McAfee virus.


We are taking about doubling or tripling the power consumption in some place in 2 or 3 years.

Congratulation! You are a submarine!

> Using my USB-C cable tester, I can be sure all the cables I have can deliver the amount of power my devices need.

Wait until they discover off brand usb cable with incorrect e-marker.


I discovered Doctorow's "Reverse centaurs are the answer to the AI paradox" via a link in this article.

It was a great read.

Sometime a wrong and misleading README done more harm than good.

It is not that rare to see LLM waste hours on a wrong path because a misleading line in README. Even worse, they can't learn. Spawn a subagent and it repeat the same error again


Someone on my team started using an LLM to write all his readme files (he used to not write them at all).

So far, 100% of them have been wrong. I read them, my spidey senses think that what it says doesn’t match his style. I look at the code to find the variables the readme mentions doesn’t exist anywhere in the codebase. I then reach out to him about it, where it says it was written by AI and he will go back and write it for real.

He says it’s better than nothing, but agree with you that it does more harm than good. I wasted my time reading slop. I wasted more time validating the slop. I wasted even more time with a conversation about it. Now he’s spending time re-writing something that he could have written faster and better when he was actually writing the code and it was fresh in his mind. Meanwhile, I’m either blocked waiting for him, or I need to spend my time trying to understand the minutiae of his code so I can integrate it into mine.
