What board are you using that supports SODIMM? I’ve got 64GB I want to put in a workstation but I’m not finding the right solution.

Waymo cancels cars when they are unable to get to you in a reasonable time. The service will not resend a car automatically, so the user needs to babysit the app until they’re actually in the car. I’ve seen this twice in the last week. In Phoenix and SF we have preferred ride share or taxi when the car showing up is important, like getting to a medical appointment on time.

> Is there a good reason browsers could and or should not support ts out of the box?

Because it’s a Microsoft product and Microsoft still follows Embrace, Extend, Extinguish process. Once every browser supports TS, what prevents Microsoft from revving TS with a license change? Who’s going to take over the TS fork?

> The real question isn't "do you need a database" but "do you need state" — and often the answer is no.

This is a solid takeaway and applies to a lot of domains. Great observation

How could the user expect consistent behavior from the back button if web apps can no longer leverage it like web sites?

Top comment on the previous thread was someone complaining about the writing style of kids these days. Huh.

> pass objects by reference.

It’s not an option. That’s how JS must behave.

> depending on exact syntax, will collect values in another array or object

Not in JS. Maybe you are referring to rest syntax? That is not specific to destructuring i.e. functions accept rest parameters.

> which allocates an object for each function call.

No, in JS non-primitives MUST be pass by reference.

> Pass references around to objects, not recreate them each time at some function boundary.

Non-primitives are always pass-by-reference. There's no mechanism to pass a non-primitive by value except edge-cases like giving ownership of a buffer to another process.

> destructuring

What about it? What backs the assumption that destructuring is inherently worse than dot and/or bracket syntax? Is there a behavior you think is unique to destructuring? Or maybe a specific report from one engine years ago?

Do you test this against password managers? Seems like this approach could generate false positives

The AI generated illustration and satire of the poem hurt my soul. Tom doesn’t even have pupils! This output is low quality even for AI generated content.

That's a great hypothetical, but it's not supported by the article. There are claims that NIMBYs are doing this or that, but follow the links to the supplementary articles and it's baseless. I only find evidence that students and homeless protested. Those aren't NIMBY homeowners.

To me, it seems UC wants to bulldoze a park famous for homeless camps and replace it with student housing. Pro-development is trying to cast the UC expansion in the same light as folks asking for affordable housing. But, UC is not providing useful housing for residents of Berkley.

I didn't say there was NO NIMBYs, but that this article suggests NIMBYs were the primary protestors. That doesn't seem truthful. Additionally, the UC system does have a large impact on the environment.

I'm sure there are better examples to illustrate your point

> homes for people to live in

Student housing. Which likely means partially-furnished studios with shared bathrooms and a kitchenette at best. This isn't the useful housing folks are asking for.

This article doesn't speak to me. What I read is, "Won't someone think of the poor UC system?" But the UC system is _massive_

> But Casa Joaquin’s neighboring, overwhelmingly white homeowners could have used CEQA to demand costly studies and multiple hearings before Berkeley officials.

Important to note that white people are well-represented at UC Berkley too. https://opa.berkeley.edu/campus-data/uc-berkeley-quick-facts

> More recently, a series of court rulings that culminated last year nearly forced Berkeley to withhold admission of thousands of high school seniors...

Graduating high-school seniors are also known as incoming freshman or legal adults.

> ... because the state’s judges agreed with NIMBY neighborhood groups that population growth is an inherent environmental impact under CEQA.

Ok, let's see how big the UC school system is...

> The University maintains approximately 6,000 buildings enclosing 137 million gross square feet on approximately 30,000 acres across its ten campuses, five medical centers, nine agricultural research and extension centers, and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

I'm not seeing evidence that protestors were primarily NIMBYs and pesky white homeowners. I can find several articles citing _student_ protests.

> “It’s students who set up People’s Park in the first place, so it’s our place to defend it,” said Athena Davis, a first-year student at UC Berkeley who spoke at the rally. “It’s up to students to reject the idea that our housing needs to come at the price of destroying green space and homes for the marginalized.”

> The British version can be much bleaker.

I think this one is a miss. TOS is inspired by _british_ naval history. Loss, fear, and failure are central to the show. In this era of TV, leading characters still had large flaws. Kirk is frozen by choice, Spock believes himself superior, Bones is a bigoted luddite. We as viewers get to see the pain this causes and their efforts to improve. It's wholly different than modern US television including all other ST media. Meanwhile, 70s Dr. Who is packed with automatic weapons fire and explosions and the formula has always been the Doctor knows best. (I am a huge fan of all the mentioned shows.)

For a good, modern example we can look at Ghosts (suddenly renamed "Ghosts UK" on my streaming services) and Ghosts US. The adaptation is agonizing. They stripped the important aspects of the story but kept a boy scout, toy soldier, and an interracial marriage. I found that telling.

Whatever work is paying for on a given day. We've rotated through a few offerings. It's a work truck not a personal vehicle, for me.

I manage a team of interns and I don't have the energy to babysit an agent too. For me, gpt and gemini yield the best talk-it-through approach. For example, dropping a research paper into the chat and describing details until the implementation is clarified.

We also use Claude and Cursor, and that was an exceptionally disruptive experience. Huge, sweeping, wrong changes all over. Gyah! If I bitch about todo! macros, this is where they came from.

For hobby projects, I sometimes use whatever free agent microsoft is shilling via VS Code (and me selling my data) that day. This is relatively productive, but reaches profoundly wrong conclusions.

Writing for CLR in visual studio is the smoothest smart-complete experience today.

I have not touched Grok and likely won't.

Hope that answers your questions.

> because the rust compiler and linters give such good feedback that it immediately fixes whatever goof it made.

I still experience agents slipping in a `todo!` and other hacks to get code to compile, lint, and pass tests.

The loop with tests and doc tests are really nice, agreed, but it'll still shit out bad code.
