A lot of missing details here, funny the headline makes the boss seem heartless for doing something so unprofessional when the text reveals it's because the author pestered him while he was on vacation.

I mean he's the manager who did not manage. At the end of the day, all people are humans. And if you feel like something is about to go wrong with your stability, it's a natural reaction to ask.

Cops in the U.S. don’t accept risk; they shoot whatever makes them nervous.
CafeRacer · 8 days ago
Yeah, I remember these videos when there is a school shooter and cops are just chilling outside.

I'd be not against the idea of teacher-whaking feature. Also, if there is a kid who bullies my kid, I'd not be against the idea to whack a parent of that kid, if nothing else works.

Obviously everything should be at the reasonable level.

I am heavily against the idea that certain powers should be centralized into a single entity.

You don’t need any creepy surveillance tech, just teachers with the proper rights to punish those who violate the rules.

As long as teachers can’t say or do anything without parents rushing to the school and threatening with lawsuits, nothing will change, no matter how much surveillance tech we throw at the problem.

Yep, a proper whack, in my opinion, will solve many problems.

Also it should legally be allowed to whack a parent, as long as it is justified.

With Claude Code, you need to create the docs beforehand, not after.

For my latest project, I have 20k+ lines of markdown docs to guide it, with great success. Some of them are generic rules, some of them describes how I code, some of them describing the codebase & features. Then I have another 17k+ that are used while coding. Plans, phases, todos, reviews etc.

All of them are written by Claude Code also. I'm calling it "spec-driven development".

Cursor has a much different flow, where you usually pair program with it, which I call "ai-assisted development".

Yes, but claude forgets things

For CRUD/UI heavy web apps, it can. I have probably wrote ~5% of the code I produced in the last 2 months, but I've read and verified and corrected every line of code. Output increase is substantial.

But I'm not expecting that to hold true for linux kernel or postgres codebase or equivalent anytime soon.

Im heavily using claude code right now... because i need something now. But it's a huge pile of technical debt.

With every piece of code created i write a doc of what id need to focus on when rewriting chunks.

AI has its usage, it makes some things faster... but spitting out more code does not necessarily make it more productive.

I ride AI train, but i ride my cb650r same way... sometimes wondering why i am still alive.

> When querying the database, query the database. It’s almost always more efficient to get the database to do the work than to do it yourself. For instance, if you need data from multiple tables, JOIN them instead of making separate queries and stitching them together in-memory.

Oh yes! Never do a join in the application code! But also: use views! (and stored procedures if you can). A view is an abstraction about the underlying data, it's functional by nature, unlikely to break for random reasons in the future, and if done well the underlying SQL code is surprisingly readable and easy to reason about.

I came here to say an exactly opposite things. There were a few instances where a relatively heavy join would not perform well, no matter what I tried. And it was faster to load/stitch data together with goroutines. So I just opted to doing it that way.

Also SQL is easy, but figuring out what's up with indexes and planner is not.

CafeRacer commented on Streaming services are driving viewers back to piracy   theguardian.com/film/2025... · Posted by u/nemoniac

Its like if I want to watch Alien, all four of those older movies they want me to have two subscriptions?

And then most of streaming services actually stream stuff, so if my internet is bad im gonna sit there annoyed. I have a small samsung projector and its literally freezing all the time (something to do with wifi and qos, i have other things in my life more interesting that sysadmining a router).

Then up until last year, i could not even watch Dr. House legally.

And then the content changes over time. I remember seeing a scene, that i no longer see. Like wtf?

Its 98% (made up number) that its the service fault.

With amount of nonsensical stuff he managed to do in last 7 months alone I would not be surprised if he forgets how to breath one night. Stuff like that happens.

Well, it seems like it's mostly "regular" folk who get respiratory issues or accidentally trip near open windows with poor safety standards.
