Terrific thing!

The FAQ should state explicitly that patron money will only be used for preservation, not put into GOG general revenue, if that is indeed true.

It's not a wildly false dichotomy.

It's hyperbolic, sure, but the broad point that there are things that parents find hard to parent for reasons, and society should think about helping them out, is 100% true.

It's a coordination problem. I can "parent" my kids by banning them from social media sure, but if the other parents don't also do that, then I just made my kid a social outcast.

As it is we have to allow our eldest a lot more screen and social media time than we think is healthy, but it's more healthy than not having any friends.

I'm not necessarily in favour of a government ban, but I do wish more parents were on board. At the primary school (age 10) 100% of other kids had phones, and no one else seemed to give a shit.

I'm British and I have sometimes chosen Canadian English as my OS language so that it will not constantly try to correct my usage of z in words like this.

When I was playing The Farmer Was Replaced and needed to implement sorting, I just wrote a bubble sort. Worked first time.

Right - don’t make subagents for the different roles, make them to manage context for token heavy tasks.

A backend developer subagent is going to do the job ok, but then the supervisor agent will be missing useful context about what’s been done and will go off the rails.

The ideal sub agent is one that can take a simple question, use up massive amounts of tokens answering it, and then return a simple answer, dropping all those intermediate tokens as unnecessary.

Documentation Search is a good one - does X library have a Y function - the subagent can search the web, read doc MCPs, and then return a simple answer without the supervisor needing to be polluted with all the context

Right - for me each year of university (in UK) was a year of learning with exams at the end, that was it, and it was normal.

To an extent I think would be surprising to anyone who hasn’t done interviews, all developer CVs below about Staff level are the same.

Everyone’s architected a system, handled communication with stakeholders, contributed to technical direction of the team, mentored other developers, etc etc

I tried the demo, fingerprint.com, in:

  - Safari
  - Safari private mode
  - Chrome private mode

and it was not able to identify me across those.

I then tried

  - Chrome (normal, non-private mode)

and it did identify that as a repeat Chrome visit.

Does Safari have better privacy than Chrome?

Maybe a dumb question, but what is the C# compiler and runtime that you use?

As always when there's a new trend it refuses me.

I showed it a picture of a street in Rome from our last holiday and the thinking traces show it was bang on but halfway through the output it just deletes it all and says it's against policy.

A big win, but not so stable - IIRC within a few years of this referendum the polls had swung back to about 2/3 against membership of the EC, where it remained for a long time.

Am I right that this article nowhere compares against the current red or even has anything with the current red in it, anywhere?

Is that a policy choice there? They don't want to.. not be future looking or something? I don't really get why. It made the article frustrating to read

> Removing nodes by adding a concept of implicit branches via "unless" clauses within a node doesn't necessarily make the system any easier to understand at a glance.

The original diagram does this too - it has an "A && B" node.
