Why are they doing that? Is there a canonical post about it?
> Lastly, we’ve decided to end-of-life (EOL) Twilio Programmable Video as a standalone product. Given it’s such a niche area and a relatively small part of our portfolio, we believe partnering with video industry leaders is the best way to ensure long-term product innovation for our customers. Removing Programmable Video from our portfolio will also allow Communications to more effectively focus on our pillar products - Messaging, Voice, and Email.

For the "Ask HN: Who is hiring?" monthly trends, the data shows similar trends. [1]
* Remote positions have been consistently 60%+ this year
* Onsite peaked at about 23%.
* Hybrid peaked at 15%.

In that case, you're not actually competing in the competition, and that kind of thing _is_ useful. However, it'd be very much against the spirit of the competition to take those answers and use them as your own, and that's really what the policy is getting at.
Agreed, that was the sentiment I was aiming for, separating the competition aspect from the getting better at programming aspect. The policy with respect to competition seems fine. The follow-on in parens to the policy was the part I was referring to:

"(If you want to use AI to help you solve puzzles, I can't really stop you, but I feel like it's harder to get better at programming if you ask an AI to do the programming for you.)"
I'd say that whatever "better at programming" is quickly evolving. AI is a tool like high level languages, IDEs, autocomplete or all the different types of code analyzers. How is ignoring a powerful tool like AI going to get you better at programming?
Programmers who think they are better programmers without AI may quickly be replaced with "lesser" programmers who get things done much quicker.
Right, the policy seemed fine to me until it got to this part. AI can be a way to get better at programming too. When I was learning Elixir, I watched José Valim work through the AoC puzzles[0] and followed along, typing in what José had and then working to understand it. José was doing the programming but it helped me get better at programming I think.
mountaineer commented on Rails 7.1 Released github.com/rails/rails/re... · Posted by u/sathishmanohar
A friend of mine joked a couple weeks ago that if a Rails release is announced but I hadn't submitted a PR (to upgrade), has it really happened?
Well, here we go, PR coming up. Even if it has to stack behind the 7.0 one that's been sitting there for months.
On a side note, the author's example is exactly why I have chosen to not use FSAs. Sure, it saves me 20% or so since it's pre-tax money, but is my stress, time, executive function, and sanity all worth that? Plus if I screw up and don't spend the money or file something wrong, I lose it or pay penalties.
This hits home as I sit here submitting FSA receipts tonight.

One thing that has changed a lot since this article was written and everyone bought RVs during COVID: good luck just showing up and finding a camp spot. Pre-2020, we'd either just show up to a state park on a Friday night, or maybe reserve a spot a couple of days before. Not anymore; I booked all of the spots we might want, or at least could even find available, in March or so and even then we had to schedule around available spots, and not the weekends we necessarily wanted.
Now, maybe it's just WA state, but if we hit the road for an extended period I'd be reserving spots ahead of time even at places far less popular than, say, Yellowstone.
Campnab is a must have for the RVers/campsers I know. https://campnab.com/
Looks like the same team that was shown on 60 Minutes the other week?

Example:
- 2021-01: posts=842, python=194, ratio = 194 / 842 = 0.23 (mentions per post)
- 2025-01: posts=487, python=87, ratio = 87 / 487 = 0.18
And then if you want to see a trend, do a moving 6 months average.
