  1. Most front end engineers could do it in JS without ever having to look something up. But the CSS to do it is still obscure to most.
  2. Huh. I know hundreds that use LLMs in a VSCode based IDE, and 3 that use the CLI.
  3. Someone else said it's not actually interactive. So which is it?
  4. My shield turns my receiver on, sets it to the right input (then the wrong input, then back to the right input), then... disables the decoder so there is no sound. Then sometimes enables the decoder about 20 seconds later.
  5. 14. Ask why it was banned and they respond with something like "oh you know what you did".
  6. Is this not a bipartisan issue?
  7. I can't figure out an answer to why they'd do this. They're still supporting their custom Chromecast "receiver" app (for now?), which is a standard HTML app. But now they're detecting the Chromecast-capable device model, looking it up in an allowlist, then conditionally showing the device in the Netflix App's Cast UI.

    This would mean if you have a new device and an old device in the same network the Netflix app might show only your old device! What?

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding what they've done here?

  8. It'd be a good option for failover Internet.
  9. Your can do that now in Typescript. But it will take several minutes to resolve your types. I've done it and it's a horrible dev experience, sadly.
  10. It's not though. Chromecast, g suite legacy, podcast, music, url shortener,... These weren't small products.
  11. This just happened to me this week.

    I work on the platform everyone builds on top of. A change here can subtlety break any feature, no matter how distant.

    AI just can't cope with this yet. So my team has been told that we are too slow.

    Meanwhile, earlier this week we halted a roll out because if a bug introduced by AI, as it worked around a privacy feature by just allow listing the behavior it wanted, instead of changing the code to address to policy. It wasn't caught in review because the file that was changed didn't require my teams review (because we ship more slowly, they removed us as code owners for many files recently).

  12. I've mostly stopped using Claude because of it, it will still try use Python for the most random tasks. It recently wrote an HTML file with some inline js in it, then started a local python server to open the HTML file, and check the log output.

    This is in a node.js project. It is just too obsessed with using Python, and it seems to help it focus and make more sensible choices by removing the option.

  13. Meanwhile, I have "*Never use Python for anything ever*" in my AGENTS.md.
  14. The point is that the it _already_ treats the instructions as nonsense. The emoji is a sigil to know if it dismissing the instructions or not.
  15. A single emoji though?
  16. It ignores instructions so well it sometimes feels like it was trained specifically to ignore them.
  17. Gemini 2.5 is prone to apology loops, and often confuses its own thinking to user input, replying to itself. Chat GPT 5 likes to refuse tasks with "sorry I can't help with that". At least in VSCode's GitHub Copilot Agent mode. Claude hasn't screwed up like that for me.
  18. Many things probably went wrong at cloudflare for this to happen. So yes, but also no?
  19. Doesn't Hetzner carry the risk if getting kicked off on a whim? Only time I hear about them is when someone gets kicked out.
