I thought .dev and .app would be more popular actually. The rapid increase in .ai makes sense though.

From personal experience .dev is a little weird. For one thing its on the HSTS preload list, enforcing https. You cannot make a http://... request to a .dev domain from most browsers. I found this out the hard way after trying to use .dev for... development.

I understand using http on localhost and in some cases local domains accessible within the LAN. But I don't see much point in using http for public domains, especially since browsers apply many restrictions to insecure origins (http://*.localhost is considered secure).

That's a deal breaker for me. Who has the time to set up full crypto protocols when just noodling around?

why not use localhost which most browsers have no issues validating? .dev being on HSTS is a positive imo

The seahorse emoji thing appears to be fixed actually. (Sonnet 5)

Idiocracy's mechanism isn't as solid as it seems though even if high educated people do tend to have have less kid. The movie basically suggests "smart people have smart kids, dumb people have dumb kids, repeat forever." But you'd expect kids of very high or very low IQ parents to land closer to average in general. The "compounding" thing the movie relies on isn't really how it works in life.

And even if the premise of Idiocracy were true, less intelligent people aren't worth less than more intelligent people. That's the "eugenics-y vibe" problem mentioned earlier that makes the movie uncomfortable for some people.

>less intelligent people aren't worth less than more intelligent people

Yes, they obviously are? Just an absurd thing to state.

How do you measure a person's value?

There is only one way to measure a persons value. their economic output.

If you want to measure something else then measure something else.

What is economic output?

At some point in middle/high school I realized that teachers were very impressed by em dashes and semicolons; I started using both constantly.

It's pre-Fable 5 but they did site a real study.

I don't think Godot's cli is exactly the same thing as this. Godot's cli allows you to start Godot, do some command, and exit. This allows you to do operations on a running instance of Unity and get structured text output back. It's explicitly made with LLMs in mind.

They're both cli's and Godot was there first, but this isn't really an apples to apples comparison.

Unity has this too and it predates Godot entirely (2010?). `-batchmode`, `-executeMethod`, etc. are there. Chances are Godot was inspired by Unity.

This article claims that Tom Bombadil is under-appreciated and then promptly gives no reasons to appreciate him more. We just get a brief description of who he is and what he does in Lord of the Rings.

>but like most of their peers now, they only rarely write code.

Citation needed. Are most developers "rarely" writing code?

I'd expect that probably less than 10% of my time is spent actually writing code, and not because of AI, but because enough of it is spent analyzing failures, reading documents, participating in meetings, putting together presentations, answering questions, reading code, etc. And even when I have a nice, uninterrupted coding session, I still spend a decent fraction of that time thinking through the design of how I want the change rather than actually writing the code to effect that change.

Nailed it.

The design part is hard because you have to envision the object. Once you have a good idea and conceptialisation of the object, form is easy.

Yeah, actually writing code is a surprisingly small part of the job.

And was true before AI

In my direct experience this is mostly true.

You can select gas heating vs electric heat pump. The heat pump looks to be about a third the cost of gas.
