> Midway through the day, though, we ran into a huge problem: it turns out bus schedules are different on Sundays, and more limited. Which meant we couldn't actually go to our primary destination (the Model Village), and had to cut the trip short.
Why trust an LLM with information like bus schedules? They fuck up things like this routinely.
> Junior devs have always been useless. You used to give them tasks that take them a week or two even though a senior engineer could do it in a couple hours, not because you wanted them to contribute, but because you wanted them to learn to contribute.
I don't know, I've known kids who can run circles around a lot of seniors, whether it's knowledge, coding chops or just intuition. The reason a newcomer takes a week to complete a task that requires two hours is because the senior has already learn all the ins and outs of the crappy software lifetime processes (usually dealing with half broken build / code review / ticket systems)
Public transportation is the backbone of a functioning economy. It doesn't need to be fully paid by riders precisely because the rest of society benefits from it multiple times over.
I love that you're being downvoted for saying something so utterly non-controversial. It's almost as if the fact that there were large matriarchal societies inhabiting America for centuries (arguably millenia) before the first European man set foot on the continent has never been taught to the average HN reader..
mac os at large has a quality problem. I have gotten more kernel panics on my personal and work laptops in the last 6 months than I have on my windows machines in the past 5 years.

That's because you can't be both! The shell wants to be both an API and a user interface, and these are two goals that are fundamentally at odds. An API should be structured, strongly-typed, unforgiving; a UI should be discoverable, intuitive and unconstrained by the needs for automation or programmability. Programmers are stuck in the idea that a command-line shell running in a terminal emulator (emulating hardware from the 70's) is the pinnacle of interaction design, which is extremely sad.
