This far in and they're still drawing 3 arms and you want me to believe these bullshit generators are gonna be useful in education? We've collectively lost our minds with this AI hype

I've never tried LaTeX, but I've built my last few resumes with plain old HTML+CSS then saving as PDF. Works pretty great and is insanely simple to upkeep/modify

Tangentially related, in the Netherlands there's 2 types of train, Sprinter and InterCity. The Sprinter is the one that stops at every small station along the way, whereas the InterCity is the on…

I don't use it as my main editor (I'm far too used to the Jetbrains editors to make the switch, they're just too smart), but it's the best one for CLI apps that use EDITOR, like gi…

I write "notes" to myself all the time not because I don't want to use another app, but because I prefer the chronological, quick way that those kind of notes work. I'm too chaotic…

They claim to not use anyone's private code, but I wouldn't trust the psychopathic C-suite at M$ not to murder kittens and human babies if it made the line go up a quarter of a percentage …

Weird Al explicitly seeks out permission from copyright holders and won't do a cover if he doesn't get their go-ahead [1]. Pretty much the exact opposite of all these AI companies :p https:…

In the Netherlands all kids have to learn to swim, and are taught during elementary school. There's various levels, the 3rd (IIRC) being able to navigate an underwater "obstacle course"…

Those poor corporations, however will they survive? I say we let them dump chemicals straight into our oceans, after all we don't want to gum them up from earning infinite profit!

Why do you want the end result of the work if the work itself doesn't matter?

A man with a small canoe catching a few fish with a fishing rod for his dinner is very different to a commercial fishing vessel trawling through the ocean with a massive net to catch thousands of fish…

I already do, but Mozilla has already drunken the AI kool-aid [0][1]. [0] https://github.com/mdn/yari/issues/9208 [1] https://github.com/mdn/yari&#…

And how do I turn this cancer off permanently?

Testing LLM/AI output sounds like an oxymoron to me.

It took my company a team of 8 fully-remote devs to fix the clusterfuck of a codebase that the "4 guys in a room" (the CTO and early devs) built up with spit and tree bark,.

God I'd give anything to see that happen. It would be the happiest day of my life, especially once (not if) other countries start following suit with their own regulations that will target Apple …

How is Spotify a gatekeeper? There's iTunes, Deezer, YouTube Music, Tidal and many, many, many other music providers.

I usually do: 0, then *, then #, then I say Human a bunch, then I go into a swearing fit. Usually by the human stage I've gotten through, but sometimes the swearing is inevitable

I work for a company that provides solutions for customer support (basically we provide the tools that CS agents use), and the C-level has been heavily drinking the AI kool-aid as of late. Lots of tal…

The squash merge is for the sanity of master/main, whereas rebase is for the sanity of the reviewer. That's how I look at it at least

I would like to do it more, but it's hard to convince people to not produce absolutely useless commit messages, and trust me I've tried. Looking through my work project git log, it's a …

He and all the other cronies on the board should be left to rot in prison for this, a complete farce if they manage to get off scott-free on this.

I'd support legislation that made it mandatory for any politician of any capacity to keep all of their communications publicly searchable, and I do mean all . Let's see how quickly proper p…

The biggest one to me is the lack of reactivity footguns. Vue will just handle reactivity for you, with no weird gotchas, and it will work 99% of the time without any performance penalties. You can ju…

Why is the author here obnoxious, and not Perplexity? I don't want these scumbag AI companies making money off me, end of story.

As a React dev at $DAYJOB, how React remains at the top despite the existence of infinitely better alternatives like Vue or Svelte will forever be baffling to me

The punishment being fines is criminal in and of itself. Everyone involved needs to be locked away for a long, long time, not have to pay pennies as "punishment"

Or we can do both? Encourage competition from smaller businesses while curbing the power and influence of these behemoth monopolies that control basically all of modern human civilization. Apple, Goog…

I can't think of a single company that went public that has improved rather than massively regressed. Could you name one of these unicorns?
