Hah I love things like this, where the compiler leaks out.

This is true, also for people immersed in this world. Sometimes the dark mode of a site is ass, and it's better to set a preference for that site to use light mode to make it more usable.


No, but the whole article felt definitively AI-generated.


the entire site feels ai-generated


Always good to have a weed puller in your toolshed. A stand-up puller, specifically, that operates as a lever, allowing it to first grab deeply and then through a rotation of the handle it pulls out quite a bit of the root system. A lifesaver if you have a rain garden which is really just a synonym for weed garden.


the link is to a dandelion root system that goes 450 centimeters into the ground, or 4.5 meters / 5 yards.

we'd like to know how much of that weed would your weed puller pull if your weed puller pulled a full pull?


I would not actually like to know that, since such a device seems impossible


Any recommendations for a particular weed puller?


I've never used a bad one, although I wouldn't class any of them as anything stellar. All of them have looked like a snake's twisted tongue.

Using them depends on the delicate combination and application of brute force and technique. If your technique and brute force is up to spec, a crowbar works as a makeshift weed puller.



This CobraHead weeder has worked well for me

It's kinda gimmicky but I found this thing on clearance at a local hardware store and it works fairly well (gets most weeds out without me having to bend over, which is nice): https://grampasweeder.com/collections/grampas-gardenware/pro...

It doesn't get everything but I can do more work on the tough ones when so many come right out.


My Fiskars Xact makes me look like a pensioner but it works really well: https://www.fiskars.com/en-gb/gardening/products/weeding-too...

Not that it gets to the bottom of my dandelions ofc, but it sure feels like it does!!


Yeah, this. Each project I work on has it's own markdown file named for the ticket or the project. Committed on the branch, and I have claude rewrite it with the "current understanding" periodically. After compacting, I have it re-read the MD file and we get started again. Quite nice.


Claude Code is the superior interface in my opinion. Definitely start there.


There's a ton of reasons why that may happen. One of which being that someone may not have known about it and wanted to share.


Yes, this is exactly why I posted it. I'm learning Kotlin but thought others would find it useful.


Thank you. I wondered if there was something new. Enjoy your Kotlin journey!


Thank you, I appreciate it. :)


My story is similar to yours, and I feel what you're saying. I would just be a different person today if I had avoided it altogether. Internally I have resolved to just keep looking forward, and only very occasionally, backwards.


This is inspiring me to collect more of my own data -- great job!


Just map your device's location services. It'll be telling just how much someone that gained access to your device could tell about you. Or how much theGoog is making from knowing that data


The bounce to me has always seemed more intuitive than the bang, but man, when it comes to the quantum universe I've learned to just check intuition at the door.
