Wouldn't those 2 things affect GDP exactly because it doesn't get taxed and a lot (presumably) of money goes into it? If the drug trade gets 100 euros, that's 100 euros that isn't …

> What I've observed is that normally cautious people will fall for scams when the scam aligns with something expected. Exactly! In my example for myself, I really was expecting a package, a…

I have met multiple cybersecurity experts, and they really were experts and in general very intelligent and knowledgeable people, that have fallen for very obvious scams. One of them was one of those …

I would've agreed back in the Win10 days, but Win11 explorer is shit. I have a 9800x3d, literally top of the line CPU with a crazy fast brand new NVMe SSD, and Win11 explorer takes a good 3 secon…

That's only on /pol/ though, and it's based on GeoIP. No other board has flags other than complete meme ones like /int/

Since when are Hackers™ pro establishment? Also what's wrong with being anti-establishment exactly, especially the current one, or really most of the recent neoliberal ones?

Sorry but whenever I hear employers say "much better pay/benefits compared to the competition", the reality is in 99.9% of cases that it's a negligible difference for work that is …

The only reason this shit is getting pushed on us as hard as it is because of hyper-capitalist psychos like Thiel and Altman. You are buying into the capitalist hype by actually thinking these syste…

I live in NL. I pay 130 euros a month for my health insurance, and a max of 375 yearly on deductibles should I accrue some costs. The only reason I pay 130 is because I earn above a certain number, ot…

Magic files are one thing (and just personally having a filenane beginning with + is just damned ugly). You also even have magic folders, which for me was a first. Even if I could ignore that, for my …

I still like Svelte, but to me SvelteKit has taken up too much of its mind/devshare. Svelte itself is fantastic, especially as a Vue guy I love the "new" reactivity system/runes, b…

Nuclear weapons could have a better use in the future? Pray tell, what exactly have you envisioned here?

Gambling companies have engineered sophisticated addiction machines that exploit the brain's weaknesses, so it's very different to most of the other things you listed. They also deliberately…

This "barrier of entry" rhetoric reads like a pure buzzword dreamed up by AI pushers with no actual meaning to it. The barrier has NEVER been lower to produce books or comic strips or anythi…

As an IC turned temporary manager that went back to being IC, yes, absolutely my skills atrophied. This isn't even a programming thing, this is just a regular human thing with most, arguably all,…

Can't upvote this enough, and I live in NL where worker protections make it hard/impossible for them to fire me for stuff like this. I'm a very honest person, so I've never had iss…

To be fair that's on the devs/publishers, not Steam

IntelliJ IDEs are fine with huge files and projects. At certain sizes it'll disable intellisense in active files, but IME stuff like find and replace works fine regardless of size and you can sti…

I just went through the job hunt circuit and honestly while many companies do have some AI thing they're selling, for the actual day-to-day work and what most teams are working on, there's b…

Duh, you just ask the magical AI "how fix global warming" and it fixes global warming, same way it'll cure cancer magically.

I'm the owner of some of my work projects/repos. I will absolutely without a 2nd thought close a 20k LoC PR, especially an AI generated one, because the code that ends up in master is ultima…

And if the 10k lines of tests are all garbage, now what? Because tests are the 1 place you absolutely should not delegate to AI outside of setting up the boilerplate/descriptions.

Zuck and "endearing" do not belong in the same galaxy, yet alone in the same sentence together.

The sociopaths pushing this kinda crap don't live the same lives you or I do. They have people they pay to make decisions for them, or they pay people to do shit like buy their weekly groceries f…

Maybe a controversial take, but why do we even care about kids on the internet to even do anything about it? Sure, child predators exist, but other than that what exactly are we defending children fro…

If after nearly a decade swarms of people are still making the exact same mistakes with how they use a specific method exposed by the library, then the problem isn't with the hundreds/thou…

> Any sufficiently complicated templating language contains an ad-hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of the host language Agreed, and Vue does it right exactly becau…

Sorry, but I'll take Vue's or Svelte's (I prefer Vue's) DSLs over shit like `className` or sticking complex rendering logic in the HTML/template with unreadable `.map`s or God…

> 5 straightforward hooks `useEffect` is straightforward? Cloudflare recently (like, literally 4 days ago)[1] had a pretty big outage because of the improper use of `useEffect` (surprise, surprise,…

Vue is in my opinion the clear winner of all the frameworks in most regards for complex applications. It is: - mature - stable - with the new Vapor mode its performance rivals Svelte and Solid - has a…
