The secret sauce isn't Claude the model, but Claude code the tool. Harness > model.


The secret sauce is the MCP that lots of people are starting to talk bad about.


The salary they pay is double the median for car mechanics. You still think that's not paying enough?


They don't pay a salary at all, so no. Mechanics are flat-rate, which means you get paid a fixed amount for a given task, standardized in terms of hours of labor by some agent like Mitchell 1, and the dealerships frequently cut the hour rating for warranty work, which means mechanics have to work faster on in-warranty cars to break even. This weird-ass billing practice is why I left the field; total comp is much better in IT.


Here is the answer: https://www.motor1.com/news/774805/ford-ceo-complains-shorta...

Effectively you will either do the repair in the timeframe set by somebody from a desk, or you are not getting the 6 figure.

And I can already see pencil pushers making limits tighter when too many people would be able to fit in them. So only way to win is not play.


> The salary they pay is double the median for car mechanics. You still think that's not paying enough?

It's not up to me to decide if a given employer does or does not pay enough. If people don't want to work for your company, then you're not paying enough relative to your expectations around the job. That's not anyone's opinion, it's just how prices work.


From the GitHub project:

> Pikaday was started before <input type="date"> was supported in browsers and before custom elements and component frameworks. Pikaday is probably not the right choice today

The project itself has been deprecated


This should be higher up. Posting a deprecated library with this title is an interesting choice.


You're all getting a little confused!

This is an up-to-date guide demonstrating why the old deprecated Pikaday JavaScript Datepicker is no longer needed.


yep! I decided to repurpose the pikaday.com domain because it was still seeing a lot of traffic despite the project being unmaintained for years.


Did you click on the OP? This whole post is about using native date pickers. The very first words are:

> Who needs a JavaScript date picker?

> The answer, in most cases, is nobody!


I was quite confused too. I thought these were Pikaday implementations, partly because I usually use UK language in browsers, and then you get exclusively these (annoying to me) AM/PM date input pickers, and this time I didn't.

I tried some of the inputs and found that they worked well for initial input, but editing inputs didn't (e.g. the masked date input cursor just jumps over previous decimals, when typing a new number)

I made a reproduction video and tried to report it to the Pikaday issue tracker after which I found out it's deprecated.

Going back, and comparing the readme with the page, does show that the post uses native inputs. ... I feel that could have been more explicit; in this post I expected Pikaday to have the option to use native pickers with some component styling.


Perhaps the language design is more important than the tooling?


How do you think Python's language design is superior to Ruby's?


Readability > write ability

Rubies meta-prigramming often leads to too much magic, lack of understanding.


When do you use `uv pip`? I never use it. It feels like an edge case only command.


Google has a time machine


As a power user, and software creator, I absolutely hate this decision. Side loading and power features are a main reason I use android.

That being said, as a grandchild, I also completely understand where google is coming from. A surprisingly high percentage of users do need protecting from themselves. They are so technology illiterate that someone random tells them to install something, "it will say it's not safe, but it's actually okay, just click approve" and they will. This is why HSTS exists, to prevent uneducated users from getting pwned, by preventing them from disabling safeguards.

So, having some system of "no really, I am a power user" makes sense, even if I hate it.


Does this mean there is no longer any excuse to not put iMessage on the iPhone?


You mean android?


It's not. Certs are designed to protect the average user from MitM, not to protect corporations from it.


They do protect corporations, because they can just let there certificate be actually validated of band.


We want the new features more than we want performance!

Also: there are some libraries that just don't work on pypy.
