  • Country of production should be listed with item information online

  • Country of origin isn't always so clear cut. Even for drill bits, the materials, iron ore, packaging can come from different countries, then turned into product in another then packaged elsewhere.

  • I like this. I also like yaml, I've had very few issues with it and it's nicer to work with than json.

    Json's lack of support for trailing commas and comments makes it very annoying for everyday use.

  • It's good advice. But when it's coming from drivers it comes of as shifting responsibility to VRUs, or victim blaming.

    Drivers have responsibilities too. Pay attention to the road, get off your phone, drive at slower speed if you can't see what's in front of you.

  • Sending a Correction is literally so much easier!

    To edit message you probably have to long press on it, select Edit, then select the part of text to edit (which is famously easy on mobile /s) then erase and rewrite. There's no point putting this much effort into a chat message! There's a reason people don't capitalise or use punctuation in those.

    Sorry I'm with the millennial on this one (being a millennial and a tech savvy person myself).

  • Vibecon invite

  • Haha good one. February 31st doesn't exist. It's 30th February - best date as there are no other conferences held at that time, to ensure best attendance.

  • I tried AI, was impressed by it, and it's embarrassing; Need advice

    Jump

  • There's a wide gap between skimming it and spending 30 mins. I rarely spend 30 mins reviewing, but then again the PRs are usually not huge, and I the codebase has automated liners, tests, and other checks.

  • Anthropic's AI‑built C compiler is not all that impressive

    Jump

  • https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/building-c-compiler

    The compiler is an interesting artifact on its own, but I focus here on what I learned about designing harnesses for long-running autonomous agent teams: how to write tests that keep agents on track without human oversight, how to structure work so multiple agents can make progress in parallel, and where this approach hits its ceiling.

    The compiler is not supposed to be impressive. It's just an artifact, a proof that agents can work independently without human oversight to achieve a predetermined goal. The author is unfairly nitpicking on the wrong thing.

  • Of course the code it generates is pretty shit and full of comments…but it works.

    If it's shit but it works, it's still shit. You are building technical debt that will eventually have to be paid when you get more customers, and current codebase starts surfacing bugs, security and performance issues.

    Before you say it, yes, our codebase is shit, and was shit. We have practically no devops, no real team structure, and something is always on fire, though I’m under the impression that this isn’t very uncommon nowadays…

    Sounds like your team doesn't have a strong technical leadership, or they're prioritizing expansion rather than stability. Maybe you're working for a startup and have yet to turn profit? Or your clients don't care about quality and reliability.

    At only 3 years experience you are still learning, and it's telling that you can already recognize AI slop code. I feel sorry for you and hope you cna find more fulfilling work that will let you grow, but I dont't know what the job market is like right now. I believe that if all you do is interface with AI all day, your job itself can be replaced with AI, so the experience you're getting now may be of very little value as a software engineer. But who knows, AI is a real disruptor, and being able to review and scriutinize AI code can be a skill in itself.

  • Is Windows FOSS now?

    Jump

  • Counterpoint: how do you even prove that any part of the code was AI generated.

    Also, i made a script years ago that algorithmically generates python code from user input. Is it now considered AI-generated too?

  • E-bikes are just bicycles with a motor. Therefore, e-bikes are motorcycles.

    Jump

  • Enginecycles? If you specifically refer to internal combustion engine (ICE) then it'd make sense to call them icecycles. It sounds weird, maybe icicles?

    But seriously EU has a definition of what an ebike is, it's not just a bicycle with motor, there's max allowed power, max assistance level, and importantly it should only assist when pedalling. Anything beyond that, yes, is classified as a motorbike.

  • Whats a good hobby to get into, as someones whos home alot with a laptop?

  • Programming. You need to have a project in mind to get motivated, but it's cool being able to built an app you can run on your mobile device.

  • When Command Line is Faster Than GUI - A Linux Beginner's Guide

  • it is faster, but also has higher mental load, and more more likely you;ll shoot yourself in the foot. if you accidentally delete something via bad command, its gone. In file manager, you an recover file from the bin.

    no. 1 starts with "open file manager", while its commandline counterpart does not start with "open terminal"

    no. 2 is a strawman, you can just select all files, and rename it. the file manager will append the number.

    no. 4 is a dedicated utility that allows you to graphically view and drill down the folders. Example is based off "file manager"...
