If you go this route, major in electrical engineering, not computer engineering. you will get more out of it

if you don't need the UI, colima works pretty well for mac

That doesn't really support his rhetoric. He has always said that he doesn't like the trade deficit, which is a dumb idea, so increasing exports would go along the same vein as increasing tariffs to limit imports.

I think what would be more likely is the EU does something with it as a bargaining chip to reduce import tariffs rather than Trump trying to tax it out of existence.

And just to be clear Trump's trade policy is dumb and I don't support it.


nuclear plants can cut power as quickly as any other power plant, you are just controlling steam. divert the steam from the turbine and you aren't generating power anymore.


The problem is that a nuclear plant is extremely high CAPEX and acceptable OPEX.

Halving the output essentially means doubling the price.

For Vogtle halving the expected capacity factor means the generated electricity now costs a completely stupid 40 cents per kWh or $400 per MWh.


I agree with that, I have just seen on here before that people think you can't regulate the electrical output of a nuclear plant like with more traditional ones.


Something we are working on my team is an internal Astro Starlight site. It is all in markdown so if your team is backend focused, the can still maintain it, and then all the docs are markdown files that are tracked with git. Comes with basic search already built in too.

So far we like the idea of this approach but haven't fully set it up yet


We recently added an Astro Starlight site to our monorepo, and it’s been great. Whenever someone makes a significant change, the PR includes the corresponding docs update, which makes reviews much more complete.

Another benefit: since the docs live in the repo, they’re easy to feed into AI tools.You just drop the relevant Markdown files in as context. This workflow has worked really well for us.

The only real headache was adding auth to our Wiki, but we eventually found a simple solution.


I personally prefer the terminal based approaches over the IDE integrations. So my recommendation are:

- Use OpenCode if you want to experiment with different models, if not just use Claude Code

- Use Git to your advantage. Always start a prompt on a fresh commit. This will make it easier to see everything that was changed and makes it very easy to undo all the changes and start over.


I think ICANN just needs to make a rule that basically says if a country's domain is being used as a general domain (i.e. ai, tv, io, etc), it becomes a general domain if the country no longer exists or needs the domain (like a name change).

This feels like an issue that is only an issue because of a hardline that should just be a general convention.


"fixed some stuff"


I asked them about this on X and they are working on one. I use Zed for everything now but must keep VS Code around just for the debugger. I can't wait to delete it.


Debugger PR is here https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/13433 if you want to check it out


What is it about Zed that you find superior to VS Code?


I downloaded Zed when it took way too long for VS Code to load the monorepo at work. It took almost as long for me to download and install Zed and then open the monorepo as it did for VS Code to load the monorepo. I think the was a fluke with VS Code as it didn't normally take this long but it did happen often enough to be annoying.

I also find Zed to be snappier than VS Code. It's hard to quantify but it just feels better to use Zed.

For reference, I mainly work on a Node/Typescript monorepo that is made up of a bunch of serverless services and is deployed with SST v2


Watch Nomad Capitalist on YouTube. He has good advice on how to get started. Most of his advice is for rich people but he also has good advice for normies.
