<p>This approach is also what I'm still missing in agentic coding. 
It's even worse there because the AI can churn out code and never think "I've typed the same thing 5x now. This can't be right.".<p>So they never make the change easy because every change is easy to them... until the lack of structure and re-use makes any further changes almost impossible.</p>

<p>I've once received a USB-C charger with a portable breast milk warmer device that outputted 18V at 2A without doing PD negotiation.<p>That fried another device when I plugged it in.<p>This is non compliant in the EU, but when I reported it to the responsible authorities, they didn't feel like doing anything about it.<p>We are talking about a charger that can fry any device and potentially cause a fire, coming with a product aimed at people with babies, that's clearly non compliant to be sold in the EU, and they are doing nothing at all. Pretty shocking if you ask me.</p>

<p>Strong types aren't just a correctness guarantee, they also help to discover structure and interfaces that previously were implicit.<p>If a developer can jump into an unknown part of a codebase and quickly see that following a certain structure will automatically make their code work for them without needing to read all the code first and double checking if it's just a random convention versus a strict interface so they don't reinvent the wheel or build code that doesn't fit in with the existing structure, then that's worth a lot and something you cannot simply cover with tests.</p>

<p>Same thing here. The worst part is when websites don't actually require an email confirmation to keep using them. In the beginning I've tried to reach out to those companies to close the accounts without accessing them but by now I've started just resetting the password and then deleting them. It's just too difficult to do the right thing.</p>

<p>useCallback makes sure that you don't recreate a function you need in a component at every re-render but only when its dependencies change. It returns a function.<p>useMemo returns a value which is the result of calling the function it is given once the dependencies change.<p>So useCallback is basically useMemo called with a function that returns a function.</p>

<p>I love cacio e pepe.
It's such an amazing dish for how simple it is.<p>One thing that can be tricky is keeping the emulsion smooth and not suddenly have the cheese turn chunky.
What I've found very useful there is to put aside some of the pasta cooking water and then blend it up with the cheese on the side using an immersion blender.
When you reach a good level of creaminess, you pour it back into the pot with the now drained pasta and use the residual heat of the pot and pasta to slightly reduce it down to the perfect level while constantly stirring.<p>This should make the whole process a lot more reliable while not changing the flavor by adding more complex ingredients.</p>

<p>As much as I'd love to have the Transrapid, I think for this specific case the ~100 minutes are already pretty much making Hamburg - Berlin flights obsolete, especially with the airports not being super central. You'd need around 40 minutes just to get to Berlin HBF from BER.<p>I don't even think there are any direct flights between Hamburg and Berlin since it's really not worth it.</p>

<p>The thing is thought that through discovery and feeds it happens often that a much larger amount of folks than the ones belonging to the core community flood in. Downvotes alone won't work because nobody knows how things are supposed to work.<p>If you have a costume party with 100 people and 10 arrive without costume, they are the outsiders that have to adapt. If 1000 people join your party you're the weird minority and your costume party will be over.</p>

<p>Moderation is also essential to keep communities on topic and enforce a baseline quality level. It doesn't matter for a generic "funny" kind of community, but something like /r/AskHistorians doesn't work without someone ensuring that the guidelines are met.<p>Of course those can also be grounds for disagreement, and I'd be lying if I'd say that I have never been frustrated with a mod when I posted something that was removed even though it clearly didn't break the rules, but I think that kind of false positive is sort of the price you have to pay to keep a community on track.<p>I'd rather have that than have everything devolve to low quality and effort Threads.</p>

<p>They would be perfectly monetizable if they wanted to. I'd happily pay for a Reddit premium subscription if I can keep using Apollo, because I use it for the better UX, not to skip ads. But clearly they would rather kill third party apps than take their money.</p>
