I haven't had the misfortune of dealing with that in Go, thankfully, but I use tests on the Rust side to stimulate conditions that have triggered unexpected errors through wasm. It's much harder when one error is used to indicate many, so maybe that error type also needs more variants.

You can also add context to messages with spans from the tracing crate or just run it in a debugger with some breakpoints.

GPU acceleration is the Achilles heel of Windows apps on Linux, but WinBoat is pretty good for other apps. It containerizes Windows and displays an app as a native window in Linux. It's still got quirks, but it's looking pretty promising.

The "they" to which you refer want a single-payer system to cut out the health insurance middleman who profits from denying care and raising rates, as seen here. The marketplace and subsidies were a compromise, but the "One Big Beautiful Bill" cuts back the subsidies, leaving behind higher prices.

Perhaps they need to be asked why they would let AI have access to enriched uranium that it might accidentally use to build a nuclear bomb.

VPP sounds like a rebranding of an existing tech. When a home's solar panels generate more power than the household uses, it basically runs the power meter backward. The devices don't need a digital connection. That would make them vulnerable to hackers.

I miss American Express's transparent cards. They had one with a square metallic blue hologram in the middle that was my favorite design.

I wonder if there was an uptick in people with stale accounts flagging legitimate emails from npm because they forgot they had an account and assumed it must be a phishing attempt after the news coverage.

An impressive undertaking considering the Stanford prison experiment lasted only a week.

Alternatively, you can just ask the author to make a minimal reproduction of the bug using devbox or something. If there's a bug, it doesn't matter whether the report was written with the aid of an LLM. The problem is bug reports for bugs that can't be reproduced.

Something like this?

Also, avoid any coding agent that lets an LLM decide whether to ask for permission before doing something, like deciding if a tool would perform a "write" operation and therefore needs your approval (assuming you're not in YOLO mode). Goose is bad about that, but Aider works well.
