Scheffler wins FedEx Cup playoff opener in a runaway and Jack Whaley claims the U.S. AmateurScottie Scheffler was back to his dominant form Sunday, turning a two-shot lead into a runaway in the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Scheffler saw a birdie turn into a bogey when his bunker shot on the par-5 third hit a sprinkler head on the fringe and rolled across the green into the water, shrinking his lead to one. Sam Burns, one of Scheffler’s best friends in golf, played with him in the final...
Claude's code comments – too much or just enough?Has anyone else noticed that Claude leaves a lot of large code comments sprinkled throughout its work?Some of my meat-based engineers have taken issue with it and directed Claude to never leave comments unless strictly necessary, but I want to know what others think. Personally, I write and read a lot of code comments so I’m confused about why these specific comments are so offensive to my fellow engineers.I have two questions: 1. Why does it do this? 2. Do you have feelings about it?Is the agent leaving breadcrumbs for other agents? Do they improve the output of future agent-driven code or is it just a stylistic choice?I don’t want to devolve into a discussion about the purpose of code comments at-large. Instead I’m wondering if there’s a purpose behind the specific comments that agents leave
Kool-Aid Ventures Into New Territory With First-of-Its-Kind Drink MixKool-Aid has long been synonymous with sweet drink mixes, echoing memories of our youth as the drink of choice on summer days spent running through sprinklers. But now, the brand is venturing into ...
Ask HN: AI Generated DiagramsDoes anyone genuinely like these diagrams or find them legitimately helpful?I find them way too whimsical (no matter what style the authors choose, they always have a sort of off putting "maximalism" to them) and are too noisy to be of any use whatsoever, and yet they are increasingly being sprinkled everywhere, in business documents, blog posts, you name it. It makes me feel like everyone has collectively decided that business is now more like kindergarten, where we all need cutesy, useless little diagrams to jazz up our product docs or strategy papers to make them palatable, I guess? I remember when the software industry was taken at least semi-seriously (though to be fair, it's always been a little more lax than some other industries)So what gives, am I missing something? Am I just not reading these right? Do you use these slop diagrams at work? Do you have prompt strategies that increase their utility?
Show HN: Replacing NotNull and Preconditions with fluent Java assertionsSome time ago, I was tasked with maintaining a Java app built using the Clean architecture. In theory, the domain was supposed to remain agnostic, but in reality, every entity was either:Sprinkled with Jakarta annotations (framework leakage) Filled with Guava’s Preconditions.checkArgument() calls (intrusive dependencies) Cluttered with manual null checks like if (x == null) (inconsistent and untested)The painful part? A constructor like this (anonymized):`public Invoice(String customerEmail, BigDecimal amount, List items, LocalDate dueDate) { this.customerEmail = Preconditions.checkNotNull(customerEmail, "email required"); Preconditions.checkArgument(customerEmail.contains("@"), "bad email"); Preconditions.checkArgument(customerEmail.length() < 100, "email too long"); this.amount = Preconditions.checkNotNull(amount); Preconditions.checkArgument(amount.compareTo(BigDecimal.ZERO) > 0, "amount positive"); // ... }`What I tried first:I removed Jakarta Bean Validation and Apache Commons Val
Show HN: Share Project Updates with ClientsHi, I'm posting Daily Done, a web app for sharing project updates with clients - https://dailydone.work.Give it a try, it's completely free right now.Concept - make it easy to share updates, and let clients see them without any friction (no signup required for clients). Clients can also react with emoji and comment.Goals - my day job is making web apps, but I've never shipped a product on my own. With this I wanted to create something that I could actually build, ship, and support end-to-end. So it is pretty simple (maybe too simple?).Tech stack - NextJS... don't hate me. Next has an annoying amount of magic, but I really like using it. Let's me use React to generate plain HTML, and sprinkle in client-side JS for interactive bits. - Sqlite / Turso. Local dev without needing docker is really nice. - WorkOS authkit, instead of rolling my own auth. - Polar for billing, although billing isn't currently active.Challenges - The classic problem of getting people to try it out. - Building some
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined Goes Much Farther Than the HD-2D RemakesI like to think of the mainline Dragon Quest series sort of like a donut. A donut may have sprinkles on top, be glazed, or maybe tied in a knot, depending on where you get it, but at its heart, you ...
Is Seafood Good for Your Brain?Rumor has it that one of the oldest known recipes in the Mediterranean – found in "Deipnosophistae" by the ancient Greek Athenaeus – is a recipe for fish (grilled fish sprinkled with grated cheese).
Do football managers matter?Managers can’t perform magic, although some people seem to think they can. They’re not David Copperfield or Harry Potter. They can’t work miracles or sprinkle some magical dust to make players know ...
