    To me the more insidious problem is that we have juniors now that aren’t learning much because they lean on AI for everything. They are behind the curve.

    He’s a fascinating guy, but this is not an announcement. It’s a teaser of a teaser.

    For $200 how many casual pirates does it have to dissuade to pay for itself. Not many. At that price it doesn’t need to be very good.

    I think the part that people doubt is the highly compressed timeline for approval. Hard to anticipate long term effects when something has only been tested for a short period of time. Also during this time the pitch degraded from “you won’t get sick or spread the disease” to “well I still got sick, but it probably would have been worse without the vaccine”. It is actually crazy to think about in retrospect.

    The person that installed should have thought more carefully about it. But the person that printed it and sold it should face some legal repercussions. Totally irresponsible what they did.

    This is super common in affluent school districts. Bulldozer parents with lots of time and resources eventually get their kid some diagnosis that confers benefits in their schooling. Be it additional time on assignments, one on one tutoring, or whatever. They carry these diagnoses, habits, and expectations to college.

    To be clear I am not making light of or dismissing legitimate issues. Simply pointing out that there are some that take advantage of the systems that exist.

    You actually are starting to see this in the corporate world. People with a laundry list of diagnoses and other statuses that make them very tricky to let go for performance reasons.

    Very quaint that they think they can make some legal argument against Oracle

    Is there a way to run it completely locally?

    They do recommend his guide to networking though…

    It’s as serious as you want/need it to be.

    If you ever feel bad about yourself as a programmer you can go read some Rasmus Lerdorf quotes to cheer up :)

    It is only briefly touched on in the article but most of the “best” engineers spend almost no time coding or engineering. I’ve worked at multiple Fortune 500 companies and many weeks I would be lucky to spend 4-8 hours coding. Often I would just work on things that interest me after hours or on the weekend since it would be unlikely to be bothered. Unless some other unfortunate soul happens to see you are online.

    Point number two seems dubious at best. At least 50% of all offspring would need to be as fit or more fit than the parents to have any hope for the continuation of a species. And it’s probably a much higher percentage than that due to mortality before procreation.

    A great tool for digging into obscure jar and class files. I used it many times to track down very obscure bugs in Java based products. Often you will have a vendor saying that your issue is not real or not reproducible on their end. But with this kind of tool you can peek behind the curtains and figure out how to trigger some condition 100% of the time.

    The federal “eJuror” website is by far one of the worst websites in existence.

    It’s a godsend for people with legitimate vision issues, such as eye floaters.

    I used to share your opinion, and in a way I still do, but after having 3 children and seeing how horrible some of these behaviors and habits can get, I completely understand why people cave in to get some relief. The stress of dealing with severe behavioral issues day after day can easily destroy a marriage and family.

    This is a great example of why “small details” matter. How many times do you think an apprentice has been corrected about this? What percentage of the time does the apprentice say “yeah but it’s just a label”. Lots of things went wrong in this case, but if the person that put the label on that wire did it correctly then this whole catastrophe could have been avoided.

    Some do. It would also be nice to reference by ordinal number similar to order by. Very handy for quick and dirty queries. I can see the issue though that people start to lean on it too much.

    the internet is over. If we want to recapture the magic of the earlier times we are going to have to invent something new.
