Totally agree. With ai coding, ensuring correctness is critical. Having types and compile-time checks helps a lot.

I'd love to read the article, but the gray text is too well camouflaged against the gray background.

Good catch. I tweaked it some, let me know if that helps.

This is correct. Tech founders have famously never dropped out of school.

I made a (free and ad free) app for BART that tells you if you need to run to catch your train or not. Instantly upon opening the app, without needing to tap anything, it automatically figures out which train you want and helps you hurry, just a little bit, to make the next one rather than wait.

Feedback appreciated!

From the opinion, some encouragement from the judge for others to try a similar approach again:

> That said, we mean not to discourage lawyers from being inventive and management from experimenting with novel solutions. Creative crafting in the law can at times accrue to the benefit of all, or nearly all, stakeholders. Thus we need not lay down a rule that no nontraditional debtor could ever satisfy the Code’s good-faith requirement.

Here's an explanation I found persuasive for why the 60's and 70's buildings don't appeal to many of us: https://commonedge.org/the-mental-disorders-that-gave-us-mod...

In short, the designers of these buildings experienced trauma during the wars that changed their brains, in a way that makes human features upsetting. Most buildings reference human features in some way (mouth, eyes), and this modernism avoids that and calms their brains.

It aligns nicely with the astute observation about the windows, in that they humanize these large buildings.

The same could be said for any use of docker images. Seems a little unfair to single out Github.
