TLDR implies you didn’t read - therefore you don’t know if it’s slop.
But seriously it does read well like normal thoughtful human writing, so I am on the side of it not being “AI slop” while also noting that you didn’t claim it was.
The editor treats edits from Claude Code as a first class citizen. You can easily review, approve, rollback, etc. Claude's changes in a curated experience that is much faster than digging around in diffs or needing to approve each edit as it is proposed.
Isn’t it because you can generate the same content two different times and hash it and come to the same ETag value?
Using UUID here wouldn’t help here because you don’t want different identifiers for the same
content. Time-based UUID versions would negate the point of ETag, and otherwise if you use UUIDv8 and simply put a hash value in there, all you’re doing is reducing the bit depth of the hash and changing its formatting, for limited benefit.
My favorite was when I was in college. I spent a long time trying to figure out how to get my WiFi card for my school-issued laptop working in Linux. Someone else posted a fix (with a full explanation of what to do!) and I followed it and it worked!
Then I look at the username and it’s my classmate from down the hall in the same dorm.
And I’m pretty sure I actually did end up in a beach house with them at some point.
I used to work on a software development team with James Somers and I can attest that he is both a great writer and able to handle criticism, valid or otherwise. I think he would appreciate the debates he is generating.
Yes, this is why developers should use URI-building libraries instead of direct string manipulation to modify URIs.
If I visit an HTML page with a link to “.evil.com/people/123” and click on it, the user agent won’t append “.evil.com” to the hostname. You’d instead get something like “https://api.hotstartup.com/.evil.com/people/123” which would be safe (if not broken).
> "The lingering uncertainty in the social control of risky technology is how to control the institutional forces that generate competition and scarcity and the powerful leaders who, in response, establish goals and allocate resources, using and abusing high-risk technical systems".
Seems to me that the relationship between Boeing and its various 737 MAX customers could be seen in a very similar light. Abusing high-risk technical systems as a tool to extract resources to cover for artificial scarcity in budgets or market expectations.
I use MacDown[1], a macOS open source visual Markdown editor. You can select from several styles, toggle features such as GitHub-flavored on and off, and then save as PDF. I'm not sure about its scriptability from the command line.
I was one of the 30 student Partners they talk about and I can't even begin to enumerate how many wonderful experiences I've had. After graduating, transitioning to work for a small software startup was quite natural.
Also, it is interesting to note that several Y Combinator teams have been made up of Olin students. (Flagr and Thinkature come to mind)
