It's also not whether the code passes tests or not. Sometimes AI does the thing I ask for, and it works, but it's so different from the way I would do it or it's too verbose so I just scrap it and code it by hand.

I mostly use it for boilerplate code nowadays. Anything more complicated and it takes me more effort to review the output than to just code it slowly

I think this is people that were thinking of getting an EV anyway and they decided to do it earlier

At that point then disable merge checks and let them merge without a review. If there is a problem it's on them

Yeah, what's up with that. Lately I have found that it tries to find excuses to not do as told and instead do a totally different thing. I told it to write a yaml file according to some specifications and instead it coded a Python script to write the yaml...

But I'm wondering if you are doing something wrong. I just tried nebula in Firefox 151.0.3 and it works flawlessly. Full screen works, all buttons in the player work. I also tried it on Firefox for Android and it works.

Do you have any other websites that don't work?

How do you deal with sending emails? When I was self hosting my emails would be flagged by Gmail (or any other email providers) so I effectively only had a self hosted inbox, which sucks

Interesting. I also use Firefox and Nebula works fine for me. Do you have any extensions that may be causing that?

That sounds like the apple fanboys "but it just works, why wouldn't I like a monopoly"

Can you fire ceramic in a house oven? Or do you need something more industrial?

I think the yogurt may be a bad example. Most store yogurts don't have any weird preservatives, it's just milk, live cultures and sugar. I would recommend doing your own to save money though.

New comment by gonzalohm in "Should we ditch the idea of three meals a day?"

gonzalohm — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 20:14:29 +0000

That would make sense to me if we didn't live in a world of food engineered to be addictive (talking about prepared food here)

I think now more than ever it's important to be strict about food rules (meal times, what kind of meals, etc.)

There is also a lot of culture involved in this. In my home country meal times and meal culture is sacred. You always eat at the same time and you sit down away from your desk to eat (alone or with people). Here in the US people like to eat at their desk or while in a meeting. I also have tons of meetings scheduled during normal lunch times, while back in the EU that would have only happened if there was some kind of emergency.

Overall I think the EU relationship with food is healthier

Careful I posted something similar in another Cloudfare thread and people threw at me like lions.

They don't see anything wrong with one entity controlling most of the internet traffic

Some people like to brag about how productive they have become with AI, but I see them spending a few hours a week adjusting which model to use, trying the new shiny harness or writing Claude skills.

Are you really more productive if instead of coding you are spending your time tweaking the AI to do what you want?

It doesn't, it's the same problem. But at least AWS provides more services. Cloudfare is just an extra layer to route traffic

I don't think you get it. They block Cloudfare IPs so services using Cloudfare become unreachable. I don't live in Spain anymore, but I have friends that can't access their university website while a soccer match is ongoing.

This shows the risks of centralizing internet access

One thing is hosting, which obviously comes with centralizing risks but a different one is just deciding to add a layer of "protection" in front of every website so that as much traffic as possible goes through one single company.
