People say this but I really don't consider it to be as true as it once was. I can't even move my taskbar to the side in windows 11 without installing a third-party program to patch explorer.


This is off-tangent but I find it a bit odd that the blog uses a URL fragment to load different articles when it's usually used to navigate within a page.

A consequence of this seems to be that clicking the link to a different article leaves you at the bottom of the page even though the article itself has changed.

This seems to be using JS to fetch the markdown and then render it but I do feel that it may be better off to simply pre-convert the markdown as part of the deployment process and serve the static page.


That's a great idea. Going to try this next :)


Happy to help :)


You're probably looking for https://scottstuff.net/posts/2025/06/10/timing-conclusions/ which discusses the overall conclusions of NTP vs PTP and is the culmination of several blog posts on the topic.


Many of those rules are kind of hazy though. Curly Quotes, em-dash, etc are also signs of using MS Word for writing for examples.


The report is definitely worth reading although I don't think the data is strong enough to draw significant conclusions from. I personally think that this should be studied more in depth over a longer time period since the current study had a 50 hour threshold (not exactly but close enough). One thing which is mentioned in the research paper[1] is:

> However, we see positive speedup for the one developer who has more than 50 hours of Cursor experience, so it’s plausible that there is a high skill ceiling for using Cursor, such that developers with significant experience see positive speedup.

TheZvi had a summarization of this here: https://thezvi.substack.com/i/168895545/not-announcing-so-fa...

In short (there is nuance), Google cooperated with the IMO team while OpenAI didn't which is why OpenAI announced before Google.


The problem is twofold:

- all generated console scripts hardcode the path to python during creation for the shebang

- some of the binaries generated by install processes can link to absolute paths in the venv

Conda does quite a bit of work under the hood to reduce disk space and ran into related issues described here: https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/stable/dev-guide/dee...


This is a pretty nice feature which I use quite often. There are still some edge cases where it cannot be used to the fullest extent though. https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/14472 for example.


I find it quite ironic you suggest Bosch as normal considering https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/i-wont-connect-my-dis... (although that was admittedly for a dishwasher)


It's a pity there wasn't more discussion on this topic since I personally feel this was a well written post.


It did take off in newsletters but not here…
