  1. do you mean running /compact often?
  2. > GP who is essentially betting on AI producing more jobs for hackers

    I'm not clear on the point you're trying to make. My comment was in response to dugidugout's analogy.

    If I understand their analogy correctly, developers are the well fed turkeys and one Thanksgiving day, we're all getting slaughtered.

    That is not hyperbole and fear mongering to you?

  3. Your comment is hyperbolic fear mongering dressed up in a cutesie story.

    Our industry is being disrupted by AI. What industry in history has not been disrupted by technological progression? It's called life. And those that can adapt to life changing will continue to thrive. And those who can't will get left behind. There is no wholesale turkey slaughter.

  4. when exactly did he say this? Seems pretty out there, even for him.
  5. seem like data analysis would be a good one. Company ingests massive amounts of disparate business data. Ask AI to clean and normalize it, visualize it and give recommendations.
  6. freeze your credit at the three major companaies.
  7. Can anyone with experience with 1Password and Bitwarden share their opinions on each.

    I've been on 1Password for years and am wondering if I'm missing anything.

  8. try Brave browser
  9. > “every commit must compile” - again, unnecessary overzealousness.

    my understanding is that you commit when you are at the "good place", where the part of the code you are working on works. That way when you keep going and find yourself going in a direction that is not right, you can go back to the last good place. If your code doesn't even compile, that doesn't seem like a good place.

  10. Mazda does a good job with screen placement. It's higher up on the dash, so you can see it clearly while looking straight ahead in normal driving position. Ie you don't have to take your eyes off the road to see it. Also, instead of touch screen to navigate and select, you use a scroll wheel that is in the center console behind the gear shifter. It's within easy reach of your right hand (in left driver side cars) and again, you don't have to take your eyes off the road to use it.
  11. > You know, when LGBT people were famously regular victims of violence from citizens and cops alike?

    What point were you trying to make here?

    Requoting your earlier claim:

    > But Kirk was definitely not advocating for "healthy debate and disagreement."

    This seems to be a general characterization of Kirk, that he generally did not advocate for healthy debate and disagreement. By watching his many videos where he frequently listened to opposing viewpoints and also by the fact that he always had an open mic during speaking events, it's pretty easy to disprove your claim.

    Cherrypicking one or two incidents where you interpret his words as against healthy debate doesn't support your claim.

  12. Yes, Kirk had strong opinions and wasn't afraid to express them. And in his public tours, he always had an open mic to give anyone an opportunity to express opposing views.

    The context of Kirk's words you are quoting are actually about a trans person winning an athletic event. More significantly, you misinterpret his words to fit your framing of him. He did not advocate for violence against LGBT people.

    The Sacramento Bee also initially misinterpreted his words in the same slant you are and after careful reexamination, realized their mistake, retracted their accusation against him and apologized.

    > An earlier version of this column included a statement that Charlie Kirk had “called for the lynching of trans people.” The basis for this accusation is a video clip in which Kirk was upset that a trans woman had won an NCAA swimming championship. In the clip, Kirk said that instead of letting the woman compete, “Someone should have took (sic) care of it the way we used to take care of things in the 1950s and 60s.” Some trans advocates on social media extrapolated from Kirk’s comments that he called for trans people to be lynched - an accusation The Bee repeated. But a review of the video shows that Kirk never advocated for trans people to be lynched. In fact, he strongly denies the accusation. These notes have been added to the column. The Bee regrets its comments and we apologize for any misunderstanding this earlier version may have caused.

  13. You still haven't supplied any evidence or proof of your claim:

    > But Kirk was definitely not advocating for "healthy debate and disagreement."

    His main purpose on his college tours was to promote the debate and discussion of different viewpoints. Very often the viewpoints of his listeners were very different from his, but he invited open expression and dialogue regardless.

  14. making the serious accusation of racism without offering any justification for the claim ain't so great either...
  15. > This is why China makes the claim that it is actually more democratic[1]. This is not merely propaganda.

    It's wild to me that you believe this.

    I've spent a few years in China and have made close Chinese friends. One constant I see is Chinese will not admit publicly, but they'll whisper to you in quiet corners that that know their government is authoritarian and the West is more free.

  16. > invalidating refresh keys after single use

    That's called refresh token rotation and is a valid security practice.

  17. > it alleviates a lot of mental energy

    For me, this is the biggest benefit of AI coding. And it's energy saved that I can use to focus on higher level problems e.g. architecture thereby increasing my productivity.

  18. It's such a tired trope.
  19. And other species have killed countless humans, so in the way you're framing it, no humans are not.
