- cynicalsecurityLet people believe it's deliberate sabotage. Unfortunately, in real life, minions of a dictator serve the dictator; they don't risk their live or safety for a noble cause. Any screw-ups are a result of gross incompetence that is typical for every dictatorship.
- A simple trick to make GIMP perfectly usable (exists since ages):
> To change GIMP to single-window mode (merging panels into one window), go to "Windows" in the top menu and select or check "Single-Window Mode"; this merges all elements like the Toolbox, Layers, and History into one unified view.
- It gets interesting when a company assigns 2 story points to a task that requires 6 minimum. No time for writing tests, barely any time to perform code reviews and QA. Also, next year the company tells you since we have AI now, all tickets must be done 2 times quicker.
Who popped this balloon? I know I need to change my employer, but it's not so easy. And I'm not sure another employer is going to be any better.
- The irony is thick here. The author's railing against scalable thin desires... by writing a scalable viral essay that delivers the neurological reward of "deep insight".
- Worse than China. They are absolutely obsessed, fanatics.
But it's not just bigotry, unfortunately. They are trying to ban free usage of computers for the general public. They want to establish authoritarianism, at least some form of it.
- No, I would read less books. I actively participate in an online book club on one of popular messengers. It's very unlikely I would find the same great book club and similar people offline.
The blind hate towards social media is absolutely ridiculous.
- So it's creamy beige.
- UK repeats the same stupidity as the Prohibition in the United States was?
- > Yesterday, this revised version was quietly greenlit by Coreper, essentially paving the way for the text’s adoption by the Council, possibly as early as December.
It hasn't been passed yet. We'll see.
- Writing meaningful commit messages is an absolute time-wasting nonsense.
- It would be amusing if US seriously contemplated allying with Japan against Germany during the WWII.
If you want to ally with Russia, you must destroy the Russian Imperialist regime first, represented by Putin and FSB. Ukraine is helping with that. Then free and democratic Russia will become your ally. But if you don't crush the Russian imperialists, they will crush you.
- This feels like a betrayal from Germany.
- He almost got it right. It's not just the fate of small open source. It's the fate of all programmers now. Why hire a programmer when an LLM costs less, works faster and makes less mistakes (OP compliments better error handling, read the article).
Unless you are a product owner, you have paying clients that love you and your product and won't simply ditch it in favour of a new clone, you are really screwed.
- I can easily spot it's an AI written article, because it actually explains the technology in understandable human language. A human would have written it the way it was either presented to them in university or in bloated IT books: absolutely useless.
- Fella says you don’t need to monetise everything, then writes about it on a blog with a subscribe button and affiliate disclaimer. Okay.
- > It must be interesting being an Uber driver right now and literally watching the robots that will replace you driving around with you.
You mean just like programmers watching AI replacing them?
- False title.
- Because emails of real people can be sold to advertisers.
- EU's recently rejected chat control looks like child's play compared to this. These are some Stasi methods that are going to destroy the US if implemented. Europe already went through creating dossier on citizens in the past, the next immediate step is always fascism. Nothing good comes out of fascism, as the history showed.
- I was unlucky to see and live in socialism. European democracies are not socialism by a mile. They are capitalist countries with some socialist elements. Yes, it makes sense.
