> Did mass processed food production stop people from cooking or enjoying human made food?

Yeah but what if I'm getting pitted against my coworkers who are vibe coding and getting things done faster than I am. Some people write code with pride because it's their brainchild. AI completely ruins the fun for those people when they have to compete against their coworkers for productivity.

I'm not in disagreement with you or the GP comment, but this it is super hard to make nuanced comments about GenAI.

That is an issue that exists regardless of ai but i do get it. Most furniture is not hand made. But that doesnt preclude people from enjoying buying or making handmade furniture.

The fact that i think people need to get over is that you are blessed beyond measure to have a fun job that gives you creative joy and satisfaction. Losing that because of ai/new tool is not some unprecedented event signaling the end of creativity. A job is a job.

What amuses me is i have just as much fun clacking away with some ai help as i did before. But then again i like the problem solving process more than writing the same code in one specific programming language.

They are wrong however. To take the food example, the existence of processed food production creates artifacts like food deserts. If you are privileged these things don't effect you as much as you get more agency.

Just the existence of quick to eat and prepare foods are going to put limits on how long you are going to be given for lunch and dinner. Even if you wanted to prepare fresh food, the system is going to make it difficult since it becomes an unsupported activity in terms of time allowances and market access.

A subjective take that processed quick food is bad or less than the opposite. It is all about new things that optimize the old.

To be clear when i say processed i dont mean tv dinners but that have prepared food that human didnt cook.

I made no judgement about the quality of processed food or where the different options rank in terms access to calories and nutrition, or what is actually feasible. It was simply about how changes can become mildly to severely obligate to certain populations in our economic system.

What is React runtime? I looked it up and the closest thing I came across is the newly announced React compiler. I have a vested interest in this because currently working on a micro-SaaS that uses React heavily and still suffering bundle bloat even after performing all the usual optimizations.

When you compile JSX to JavaScript, it produces a series of function calls representing the structure of the JSX. In a recent major version, React added a new set of functions which are more efficient at both runtime and during transport, and don't require an explicit import (which helps cut down on unnecessary dependencies).

You mean the automatic runtime introduced in 2020. It does not have any impact on the performance, it's just a pure developer UX improvement.

It improves the bundle size for most apps because the imported functions can be minified better. Depending on your bundler, it can avoid function calls at runtime.

React compiler is awesome for minimizing unnecessary renders but doesn't help with bundle size; might even make it worse. But in my experience it really helps with runtime performance if your code was not already highly optimized.

One I use a lot is kp, it kills a process listening to a particular TCP port.

  kp () {
           if [ -z "$1" ] then
                   echo "Usage: kp <port>"
                   return 1
           fi
           lsof -nP -iTCP:"$1" -sTCP:LISTEN | awk 'NR>1 {print $2}' | xargs kill -9
   }

Not a fork of thunderbird. It's custom CSS that renders the thunderbird "chrome".

Corrected, thanks.

Also clicking on the checkbox label does not check or uncheck it. Me thinks they jumped the gun on this

The opposite is true in Chrome-- the address bar a little more than completely useless. I use it mostly for web development but this feature along with manifest v3 introduced by Chrome might make me switch to Firefox for good.

The sign in flow is completely broken for me. I am signing up with an email, after I click the verification link it takes me to a page where I need to enter my email yet again. Here it says I already might have an account and sends another verification email which does the same thing again. Also found other issues the site after going to the home page. Multiple modals overlapping with the sign in flow.

Same. Managed to get in by opening one of the links in Chrome instead of my usual Firefox. Haven't managed to set a password yet though. It's a real fucking mess.

w3schools has gotten better over the years[1]. I use MDN for almost everything, but I do mistakenly click the first result on Google Search which is usually w3schools. You can use this handy site to have the "I am feeling lucky" Google experience while searching for any web related queries. Example: mdn.io/flexbox

I am squarely in the camp that believes real sentience is not possible anytime soon given the current limits of computation and tech.

My biggest takeaway from this is that emotion gets the best of us when we’re dealing with anything that remotely resemblance sentience. It’s not unlike me thanking Alexa for helping me with small things like turning on my lights, because I would feel bad otherwise.

Yeah exactly, if I `require important.rb` in this file, and `important.rb` wasn't committed how did that project even build and get deployed. Any sane build system will instantly fail for this situations. Looks like an issue with dev ops/engineering culture rather than .gitignore
