Is this normal for a company to impose these?
If you are in the US, that’s likely very illegal. Wherever you are, talk to your state, Providence, federal, etc. labor board.

Do you know any singleplayer games that are infinitely replayable?
FTL. It’s a simple fun cheap game. Steam says I’ve played this for over 3,000 hours!

What happened with Syncthing-Fork and is it safe to use now?
For anyone who’s confused: syncthing-fork is the Android client. Not the main repository.

Kevin McCarthy is ousted as House speaker in a historic vote pushed by conservatives
Reply in thread
The rules of the 118th Congress state that "in the case of a vacancy in the office of speaker, the next member" named on a list submitted by McCarthy to the clerk of the House in January will become speaker pro tempore until a speaker is elected. A House reading clerk announced immediately after the vote that Rep. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina was the first name on McCarthy's list and therefore was appointed speaker pro tempore.
"Pending such election, the member acting as speaker pro tempore may exercise such authorities of the Office of Speaker as may be necessary and appropriate to that end," the rules state. The requirement of a list appears to have originated with the 108th Congress that convened in January 2003.
After the speaker pro tempore takes over, "presumably, the next order of business would be to choose a speaker," Green said. He pointed out that "it's unlikely the House would continue to operate as usual without a new speaker being selected."

Ok. Let’s pretend that’s what happens. Many people would gladly make that trade if they kept / recovered brain function. Of course, it would depend on many things like how pain and timeline of the cancer vs dementia.

I’ve finally figured out this logic!! The developer must be a wheelchair user. Most wheelchair users would find that impossible to pass without help.

How do people end up winning lawsuits against companies due to a missing label or sign?

I think the laundromat case is more "don't complain to management when you're stuff gets stolen" than it is about preventing lawsuit.

I just tried vibe coding with Claude
Reply in thread
My preferred way of using LLM coders is:
Then I have it update the spec. I start a new session to have it implement. Finally review the code. If I don’t like it, undo and revisit the spec. Usually it’s because I’m trying to do too much at once. And I need to break it down into multiple specs.

Upcoming breaking changes for npm v12
Finally!!!
allowScripts defaults to off: npm install will no longer execute preinstall, install, or postinstall scripts from dependencies unless they are explicitly allowed in your project. This includes native node-gyp builds (i.e., a package with a binding.gyp and no explicit install script still gets blocked, because npm runs an implicit node-gyp rebuild for it). prepare scripts from git, file, and link dependencies are blocked the same way. To see what would be blocked, run npm approve-scripts --allow-scripts-pending. Then allow the packages you trust with npm approve-scripts and block the rest with npm deny-scripts. The resulting allowlist is written to package.json and should be committed. If your install routine runs scripts, you can observe warnings in npm 11.16.0+.

Would the Re-Walk exoskeleton work for patients without full balance? They are able to stand and walk, albeit very slowly. ( cerebellar stroke patient )
Check out gozeen.com
My wife recently got one, and had found it liberating. Her condition has caused both balance and stamina issues. We used to bring both a walker and a wheelchair everywhere we went. Her Zeen has made a major improvement in both our lives.

Looking for advice/experience on spec driven development for a big application while also maintaining an overarching application spec
Superpowers has brainstorming
Note that the current version injects a lot into the system prompt, and it’s always on. If you using Claude Code, install it in a second profile, so that you choose when to use it. I exploring its features now.
https://github.com/obra/superpowers
brainstorming - Activates before writing code. Refines rough ideas through questions, explores alternatives, presents design in sections for validation. Saves design document.
using-git-worktrees - Activates after design approval. Creates isolated workspace on new branch, runs project setup, verifies clean test baseline.
writing-plans - Activates with approved design. Breaks work into bite-sized tasks (2-5 minutes each). Every task has exact file paths, complete code, verification steps.
subagent-driven-development or executing-plans - Activates with plan. Dispatches fresh subagent per task with two-stage review (spec compliance, then code quality), or executes in batches with human checkpoints.
test-driven-development - Activates during implementation. Enforces RED-GREEN-REFACTOR: write failing test, watch it fail, write minimal code, watch it pass, commit. Deletes code written before tests.
requesting-code-review - Activates between tasks. Reviews against plan, reports issues by severity. Critical issues block progress.
finishing-a-development-branch - Activates when tasks complete. Verifies tests, presents options (merge/PR/keep/discard), cleans up worktree.
The agent checks for relevant skills before any task. Mandatory workflows, not suggestions.

Gonna start calling my HOA the "Romulan Senate" because the similarities are striking.

What you want is a Community Association. They can legally manage the shared property, while having little to no power over your property.

From Tennessee to Oregon: How lawyers turned the ADA into a ‘shakedown business model’
Unfortunately, in many areas, lawsuits are the main way the ADA is enforced.
That being said… these lawyers are ambulance chasing scum. Their formula is purely for profit, “enforcing” the ADA is only a side benefit.

Yes, it's pricy!! 😖
More seating would absolutely help many. It just depends what challenges life has thrown their way.

They demo'ed that it should catch you falling forward, and the seatbelt will hold you. I'm not sure about sideways. Obviously, we haven't tested either as scenario.
It's biggest limitations are hills and off-road. It can go any place a normal unpowered wheelchair can go. My wife has used the Zeen on grass... possible but exhausting!
