StackOverflow was one of the most toxic communities on the internet to newcomers. Zero surprise and I’m glad it’s in an LLM now.

This might be the fastest bookmarked post I’ve ever seen
I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. Lots of people have asked how I use Claude Code, so I wanted to show off my setup a bit. My setup might be surprisingly vanilla! Claude Code works great out of the box, so I personally don't customize it much. There is no one correct way to

Suggest we build a big tower to celebrate this achievement
I've thought about this too. As we reach universal translation (see the vid or the QT) we are all gonna have to get to know one another and learn just how different we are. We'll fight over norms, and homogenize. It will be rough throughout.

Infuriating. Add the cookie banner alongside and a good 30-40% of the screen is covered in stuff I don’t want to see.
PLEASE tell me that there is some way to completely disable this incessant popup across all websites

Eurovision is fascinating as a non-European. The fervor from most countries especially Ireland is delightful. A friend once described it as the Singing Olympics and so it’s only natural for it to get politicized in 2025. Just didn’t expect it over a non-European nation..

This was a first in Ireland - ordered a set of AirPods Pro only for a hair gel wax to show up instead! Scam or innocent mistake? Only Amazon knows the truth!

I, only partly agree with this. Cloudflare does seem to have a lot more outages than before but each postmortem is transparent and well written. Most of the changes including today’s seem to also be made in good faith and to protect their end customers.
Cloudflare isn’t going to recover from this reputation damage for years

@GergelyOrosz The Cloudflare dependency works. If Downdetector is down, then the Internet isn't working 😂

Well I’m glad I was able to help out here and that we’re testing it in production again because @Cloudflare is down again! Happy Friday!
Confirmed that Downdetector has a hard dependency on Cloudflare with the Downdetector team - talked with @damndhruv after the last major outage. Details on the "why" and what they're doing about it: https://t.co/Vm8Vju2SoI

Of course this happens as soon as I start making a custom PC build!

Absolute game changer of a feature. I’ve also been jealous of folks on Android who’ve had this for years!

Bending Spoons continues to be on an absolute tear of acquisitions. It’s an interesting model to buy stable but slow growth companies that most VCs have given up on.
We've officially agreed to acquire Eventbrite for $500M! 😍 … and you thought we were done for the year!
