There are legitimate reasons to bet on the weather. If you're a farmer, betting on drought can be a hedge against a bad year.

This is false. Zed does support skills and also MCP servers.

My take: "Professor" Jiang is a CCP asset meant to destabilise the west. Change my mind.

What do you mean an emphasis on the 'e'? As in claudé? The name Claude is pronounced with a silent 'e' in French, there is no 'e' to emphasize.

marton78 — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 14:03:12 +0000

OpenSpec adds a lightweight spec layer on top of AI agents, so you agree on what to build before any code is written.

In 1.0, the workflow has been rebuilt around an action-based system where AI understands your project's state—what artifacts exist, what's ready to create, and what each action unlocks.

You notice that now? Remember 2020-2022?

marton78 — Tue, 23 Dec 2025 08:06:18 +0000

Strangely, the Polish word seems to encode a superposition of both settings: with NODELAY on, TCP sends messages suddenly, whereas with NODELAY off it sends tiny messages all at once, in one TCP packet.

New comment by marton78 in "Bulgaria to join euro area on 1 January 2026"

marton78 — Wed, 09 Jul 2025 06:03:43 +0000

> Why would countries join the EU and the Euro if it didn't benefit them?

Joining benefits the country's elites, rather than its general populace -- and it's these elites who decide whether to join.

Bulgaria joining will weaken the Euro, which benefits big, export-oriented economies such as Germany and France. This is how the Euro has always worked: the big economies dilute their trade surpluses at the cost of smaller European countries.

It's an ugly workaround, but if you install BetterDisplay (it's a free tool) and set your LoDPI screen to HiDPI, text rendering looks good.

While not as recent, the Germanic "ship" / "Schiff" / etc. has no cognate in any other Indo-European language and no obvious origin in PIE, so it is conjectured it might be derived from a pre-IE indigenous European language.

After almost 20 years of experience with C++, there are still some gnarly details I wouldn't have imagined. What a God awful language!

Kudos to that author for the great, eye catching title and the in depth detail!
