The problem is the oblivious users who aren't tech savvy. Enable a feature like this by default for every user, and you've got a big chunk of people "using" it, which leads to some…
comment
My company is tiny comparatively (~150ish employees) and even I've heard various PMs unironically say things like "Let's enable it by default for everyone, because we have those KPIs to…
comment
That would actually be ActiveSupport, which does many things and the pain of its absence is quickly felt in any non-Rails codebase :) https://rubygems.org/gems/activesupport …
comment
Just want to chime in as someone who from time-to-time (heh) has to deal with datetime-related things and say, I hope for nuclear annihilation upon all clocks and other miscellaneous time-telling inst…
comment
It sounds kinda cool and sci-fi-ey, but yeah I have a feeling I'm gonna struggle remembering the name of this new API lol
comment
> But among the endless blizzard of these, this is an odd one to make your last stand for. More to the point, onto For me it's personally not, it's mostly about how slow and bloated W11 f…
comment
Do you actually not understand why customization is something people want out of the operating system they use for upwards of 8+ hours a day, every single day? Should we disallow changing background i…
comment
And you think the tools that are, as we speak, boiling rivers and lakes in order to power the insanely resource-hungry AIs is the solution to any of those problems, such as famine and rising temperatu…
comment
It's been a feature of Windows for a decade+, why on earth would they remove it? I've had mine aligned to the top of the screen for as long as I can remember, and there's even 3rd party…
comment
Yeah yeah, I've heard all of this a million times. Yet, I open up Claude and it keeps forgetting to not give me React code after I remind it multiple times to not give me React code. It still ran…
comment
My PM has been talking about converting half our product into a "conversational UI", meaning what used to be buttons would be turned into a textbox that sends a request to an AI API that wil…
comment
The problem is even in posts unrelated to the AI hype, someone will inevitably mention AI and somehow those threads always blow up to be the largest ones in any post.
comment
The thing is, it's mostly managers and the like getting wow'd by how cool it seems initially, and they're the ones driving the hype. I can ask it in plain English and it answers with fl…
comment
AI bros have a vested interest in people believing the hype that we're just around the corner of figuring out AGI or whatever the buzzword of the week is. They'll anthropomorphize LLMs in a …
comment
> it was hours of bringing everything "up to date" Why? We still have Vue 2.6 (not even 2.7 with compAPI) projects living and chugging along just fine. Why do you feel the need to keep ev…
comment
I'm just hoping 2025 will be the year of Vue or Svelte. Maddening that people are still picking React over much superior frameworks like those two
comment
I mean the entire AI thing is built atop mass plagiarism and stealing things others have created indiscriminately. I doubt Mr Worldcoin could come up with an original thought for anything, seeing how …
comment
The US is now officially a full on oiligarchy. It always was one, it's just that the powers that be don't care to hide it anymore and are flaunting that they have the power.
comment
Well I do (basically 99% of github emails are auto-purged from my email inbox), but the problem is that the github platform itself on the notifications page is unusable. It'd be nice if I could u…
comment
So if the works they're stealing aren't worth anything, why do they need it so badly?
comment
Day 50 trillion of begging Github for a functional notification system so I can stop receiving infinite numbers of emails from all the bots and similar things commenting on PRs. Also being designated …
comment
Does this apply for malware? Trojans? Websites that host child pornography? Or does it just apply to the brainrotting addiction machine that shoves 800 videos a minute at teenagers?
comment
Lol where do you even get something so easily disproven like this? I care for neither Israel nor Palestine, but I see more or less equal coverage of both sides (not so much my side, funnily enough) on…
comment
Douyin also doesn't allow nearly as much brainrot as you see on tiktok, and definitely doesn't allow anything that challenges the CCP.
comment
This was basically a 12 year old's plan for making Trump seem like a "champion" - and it somehow seems to be working, even in this comment section (assuming half the comments aren'…
comment
And that should be stopped too, but we also just had a bout of Russian campaigns that almost got a cultist Neo-Nazi elected in Romania thanks to tiktok. Ban 'em both for all I care, my whole po…
comment
I'm not a yank (Serbian but I live in NL), but I'd rather neither. However, since we live in reality land and not make-believe land, that's not an option, so I'd go for the oiligar…
comment
My company is doing some similar crap. Half a year wasted on some bullshit AI thing that half the engineers were questioning from the start. Usage numbers are in the low 10%-20% range and are droppin…
comment
> that aren't just BS Having been on the receiving end of many of these, it absolutely is pure BS and I lose all respect for anyone who themselves have so little respect for their colleague…
