Those were never really that difficult to implement. The agentic way still requires proper communication, which is often what projects lack so I don’t see it changing much.

I mean, I think they should at least be required to display its negative effects on your health prominently on the product.

I’ve been dealing with ElevenLabs pulling this same garbage.

I’ll fill out a bug report, wait a few days to a week to get a response, which are often AI generated, and then 48 hours afterward their bot marks it as stale. Telling me to check if it’s still broken or they assume it’s fixed lol

Do you have a source of people’s bank being frozen for backing those orgs?

I have been noticing recently that the level of quality of Amazon support has been dropping steadily. And I’ve also been trying to do the same, shopping elsewhere.

I would recommend React Router over Tanstack. I tried both and RR was so much easier and more reliable.

Tanstack seems to be following Next.js in that they’re just over complicating everything and their docs felt lacking for the most of their features.

I myself am full time remote and look forward to attending one annual tech conference.

For me it feels like a nice event. Being related to my career, learning something new from passionate people and stepping out of my comfort zone a bit, all while not having to think much about work.

Ice skates in particular are sold in different widths. But yes it’s the norm that the “regular” or narrow fit is the default.

40 years ago would be after 1985.

Or we build things that people actually want to use in those prime locations.

The city and those business need to change to meet the shift. They are just being greedy and seem to want us workers to both support ourselves and bail them out.

I had the same problems with Google Maps. I ended up using Apple Maps in Japan and it gave much more realistic routes

No not typically. In my experience most people work 40-45 hours at the boring companies that I’ve been at

Yup pretty much. There’s a large percentage of the community botting. Most of the bot builders have forked RuneLite to add custom scripts for automating tasks.

Jagex has made some improvements to their bot detection mostly through detecting if you’re playing on an “approved” build of RuneLite (the primary repo) in the past year or so, but this method went undetected for so long that many have maxed their accounts.

As much as I love ruby and the rails structure, and while I continue to write projects with rails, I no longer really recommend it to peers.

The TS/JS ecosystem is just much larger and that comes with newer libraries, tools and has better support. Getting setup with a basic CRUD rails app is quick, but the more advanced work; auth, deployments, scale, etc. can be frustrating for newcomers.

Not a fan of how they’re going all in on Hotwire. Although I haven’t been following those advancements much lately.

They really need to have some easy way to just roll their api only mode with a stand alone frontend, along with documentation on configuring that.

You just can’t beat the proficiency of using the same types on front and backend. I did enjoy trying out redwoodjs.

I assume it’s a bit more likely to do with the lack of junk foods and increased physical activity.

Not sure if you’re the creator, but the “Fonts In Use” link under Design Foundations looks to be pointing to typogui.de by mistake.

I ended up getting some ROCK64 boards instead. They’re a great price

One downside is the PoE hats are massive
