What I really miss was the moderation system. There was a simple 1-5 score and a main trait (insightful, funny, flamebait, underrated, overrated...). To moderate you had to earn points which would you then spend, so careful consideration mattered. The result was that you could filter for 5+Insightful and get the core of the discussion, or 5+Funny and have a good time, etc.


This is so interesting. I have nothing to add, other than congratulations, and good luck on your next project.


You're probably thinking about Donald Knuth, not Stallman.

Stallman does similar, just without the printing step, and he checks his email entirely within emacs.

Thank you for putting this in such clear terms. It really is a Catch-22 problem for startups. Most of the time, you can't reach scale unless you cut some corners along the way, and when you reach scale, you benefit from NOT cutting those corners.


I'm curious if you could share something about custom agents. I love Claude Code and I'm trying to get it into more places in my workflow, so ideas like that would probably be useful.


I've been using Google ADK to create custom agents (fantastic SDK).

With subagents and A2A generally, you should be able to hook any of them into your preferred agentic interface


I’m struggling to see how somebody who’s looking for inspiration in using agents in their coding workflow would glean any value from this comment.


They asked about custom Agents, ADK is for building custom agents

(Agent SDK, not android)


The core sentence has an OR clause, which means if any of the 2 conditions happens (DEI promotion; violation of Federal anti-discrimination laws), then they're in violation. Their stated mission is directly in contradiction with the first part. Even if it wasn't, I'd probably vote in the same direction, given the (let's call it) volatility we are seeing with capricious interpretation of executive privilege.


This is fantastic. It really signals that the point is not to get money from you, but to free up the parking spot.


I’ve long believed that “first one free” would be a great way to help reduce the impact of tickets on people while still achieving the same goal


Often it's unofficially the policy. For PT ticket fines in Melbourne, I've never heard of someone having a fine enforced for the first problem. It's pretty much always just a warning logged against you.


They gave me a $50 discount on the ~$600 fee for getting towed in SF due to it being a first time violation. Not quite free, but I'll take it?


They also ticket without towing, where the point is entirely to get money from you.


Or to say "don't do this"


Where I'm from there's no concept of towing on any parking violations. No one has the right to touch your vehicle, and if the police is involved they'd just contact the owner. The police would only move a car if it's a danger to the public.

A tow truck is only something you'd call for assistance, not something you fear seeing.

(Parking fines suck, but the municipal ones are usually more reasonable here, even if they don't always get the rules right. It's the parking companies managing large private parking lots, often for free to the lot owner, that are absurd.)


Where I'm from there's no concept of using public space to store your personal belongings without paying for it.


Care to elaborate, as that sounds rather extreme?

I don't know of a country that requires all bicycle parking in any non-private location to be paid, nor a country that requires payment for roadside parking on country roads outside cities. Heck, even within cities, only the very dense ones seem to require paid parking on smaller roads.

Public space does not imply free of any use, but rather that it is freely used by all. The purpose of paid roadside parking is to reduce demand on what quickly becomes a limited resource in dense cities.


What about e-scooters?


Towing makes perfect sense when a car is blocking access. Parked in front of driveways for example.


Here (Denmark), blocking a drive-way would not be a parking violation handled by a parking inspector, but a traffic violation handled by the police. They would contact you directly and have you sprint to your car.

Parking tickets are also considered fees, paid to those managing the parking area (municipality for public roads), as opposed to fines issued by the police or a judge and subject to very specific rules.


I've seen news stories about cops impounding nearby Teslas if they think its cameras might have caught something related.


Have you used Bitbucket?


A core research library for MATLAB I used in a course project used to be on BitBucket, though thankfully didn't have to deal with a lot of collaboration there.


I used to love Python. I still love it, but I used to love it, too.


Hilarious . I was a python fan before I was a reluctant user. It still has the most reliable debugger integration of any mainstream language which is my favorite thing about the language in its current state.

Debugger >> language -- next most popular language manifesto slogan (i hope).


I'm wondering, what language do youb love nowadays?


Go
