Writing code is easy. Once you have a solution in mind, and have mastered the syntax of your favorite programming language, writing code is easy. Having an LLM write entire functions for you? Even easier. But the hard part isn’t the writing. It’s the reading. It’s the time it takes to load the mental model of the system into your head. That’s where all the cost really is.

These Headphones With Bose Sound and 100 Hours of Battery Won’t Destroy Your Wallet

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-10-12 12:31:03

I’m a fan of Bose audio. In recent memory, I’ve tried Bose’s SoundLink Plus, a portable Bluetooth speaker with big sound and a great (grassy) look; the second-gen QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds with their ridiculously good ANC; and its Ultra Open Earbuds, probably the best pair of open earbuds I’ve used to date. That being said, there’s one thing that I don’t love about Bose products, and that’s the premium pricing. Nearly $300 for a Bluetooth speaker is a lot, and so is $300 for a pair of wireless

Benoit Blanc Takes on an Unholy Mystery in ‘Wake Up Dead Man’ Trailer

Netflix has released a new trailer for Wake Up Dead Man, the latest chapter in Rian Johnson‘s mystery series starring Benoit Blanc, the world’s greatest detective of ambiguous Southern origin. Have a look: As evidenced by the trailer, the story concerns an “impossible” locked mystery of seemingly supernatural origin, evoking the great works of John Dickson Carr, Seishi Yokomizo, and Hanna-Barbera. This is exciting in itself, as the subgenre has long been considered radioactive in Hollywood for

Meta reportedly suppressed research about how dangerous its VR headsets are for kids

Meta allegedly suppressed research that suggested kids were exposed to certain dangers when using its VR headsets, according to a report by The Washington Post . Current and former employees have presented documents to Congress that describe incidents in which children were groomed by adult predators in VR, but allege that internal reports were edited to omit the worst of these offenses.

Valve’s Steam Deck for Your Face Is Way More Interesting Than a Quest Clone

The consensus is clear. Regular folk and gamers alike couldn’t give a hoot for yet another Meta Quest-like VR headset. Hell, even the “metaverse is the future” company Meta seems more interested in smart glasses than headsets nowadays. That may change if Valve has anything to say about it. Even if you’re not a VR gaming enthusiast, there’s more than one reason you should pay attention to Valve’s long-rumored wireless XR headset.

Look Out For Bugs One of my biggest mid-career shifts in how I write code was internalizing the idea from this post: Don’t Write Bugs Historically, I approached coding with an iteration-focused mindset — you write a draft version of a program, you set up some kind of a test to verify that it does what you want it to do, and then you just quickly iterate on your draft until the result passes all the checks. This was a great approach when I was only learning to code, as it allowed me to iterate

How Britain built some of the world’s safest roads

How Britain built some of the world’s safest roads The death rate per mile driven has declined 22-fold since 1950. A century ago, these were the cars on Britain’s roads. Forget driving lessons or tests; to get behind the wheel legally, all you needed was a paper license, which cost the equivalent of around 25 pence today. Cars had no seatbelts and, of course, no airbags. There were no mirrors to let you see traffic behind. There were no flashing indicators, so your signal to turn left or right
