Don't forget the damned interns!

A manager is the subordinate. Their entire role is to provide for the employees the things and support needed to get their jobs done. Corporations arent the military, there are no "superior'…

I found it pretty ridiculous. I've made a 30 year career "arguing" with bosses. It's literally why they pay me. If they are little dictators then they aren't worth helping.

If your boss is so fragile they can't take a healthy debate or discussion or stand to be challenged on anything then find a new boss.

“National security! We can’t let China win the AI race!” Or some BS

It’s Windows autorun all over again. What was old is new again.

How incredibly arrogant of you. Its their time to spend as they see fit. You get no say in that and complaining they didn't do what YOU wanted them to when YOU wanted them to do it is peak entitl…

>"For years, the software engineering industry has operated on a comfortable, perhaps lazy, myth: that open source software is an infinite, self-renewing public good that costs nothing to cons…

I've been using Linux since the mid 1990's. I'm no newbie to any of this. I literally can't tell the different between X11 and Wayland when using either of them and I don't ca…

How much of the thinking is involved in asking the right question, versus coming to the correct answer? I don't have a real answer to that but it does seem to be worth considering.

Apple has actually started allowing this. You can find the functionality in an adblocker called Wipr now and it works really well.

The developer of the apps obviously.

We were supposed to be in the age of PWAs. That was the initial plan for iOS before the app store and 30% cuts on subscription apps. Most web apps suck too though so I guess pick your poison. My stron…

Thanks for the honesty and I think I get it. The AI doing the code leap frogs you to a finished product which is the reward. I do worry about craftmanship in that scenario though.

Do you not enjoy coding? I'm not trying to be snarky, just a genuine question. People used to enjoy it but lately all I see are people talking about they "no longer have to do it" I see…

I don't think they care much about GPU's. They never did in the past, thats why you dont get nVidia in a Mac. Apple was happy with Intel graphics until they went M series chips. They just ne…

Move fast and break things

I don't know but I would imagine there are a lot of inefficiencies in modern languages from an LLM perspective that it could strip out, reduce token costs, improve speed etc.

I wonder when we'll see new languages created specifically with LLM's in mind.

There are a lot of dumb people that pay ridiculous amounts for college. I went to a state school and they paid ME to go there. My job prospects have been just as good as anyone elses. I learned the sa…

That wasnt my point. Bats are known incubators for rabies because they are immune to it but still carry it. Dogs find the dead bats and get infected, just like other animals. They see food, they eat i…

The pellets can cause localized infections or rashes to humans. More dangerous to certain groups like small children, pregnant women and people with immune system issues.

But dogs typically get it from the bat. I don't understand the logic

The Vampire Bat Link (1911): The very first connection between bats and rabies was made by scientist Antonio Carini in Brazil. He discovered the virus in cattle that had died from a paralyzing sicknes…

Strange article. So much focus on dogs with only one mention of bats who are the primary carrier and spreader of rabies.

Someone tried to recruit me back in 2000 for a startup that would sell a box you connect to your computer allowing you to smell things over the internet. I'll let you guess what industry he was t…

And also cheaper than launching stuff into space. This may have been approved but that's a long ways off from actual viability.

I'm sure both players love it

You sound like someone thats never worked in a corporate environment. No, threatened is the correct word. I don't care if you like that or not.
