I feel like it should be up to valve to fix this no? It feels like it should be possible to require an email for everyone that wants to start a server and then boot all of the ones that cannot be bothered to reply to your messages to stop s

Average users also benefit from restricting their ability to purchase alcohol or tobacco, but I don’t see anyone suggesting that…

Free flow of information should be considered different from free flow of nonsense.

Absolutely, but then you fire them again. Saves both salaries and expenses.

I’m not quite sure I see how building directx and building an alien spaceship are incompatible. Nor how either translates to being a bad hire.

This is like React or SolidJS for database queries.

You think Gabe will sell to PE? You need someone willing to sell to be able to buy something. I’m betting that won’t happen, and that the next BDFL is not going to run the thing into the ground fast enough for it to matter to me.

That doesn’t matter. If I’m going to spend 40% of my time alive somewhere, you bet a requirement is that I’m not working on ridiculously outdated hardware. If you are paying me $200k a year to sit around waiting for my PC to boot up, simply

I think my employer hed a contest to see which of 4 office chairs people liked the most, then they bought the one that everyone hated. I’m not quite sure anymore what kind of reason was given.

Actually, just time spent compiling, or waiting for other builds to finish makes investing in the top level macbook pro worth it every 3 years. I think the calculation assumed something like 1-2% of my time was spent compiling, and I cost l

Don’t you think the problem there is that you hired the wrong people?

The state exists to protect the majority from the minority. If the majority believes phones are bad, then they’ll be banned in schools to prevent whatever effect having them would have.

by Aeolun 1y ago
I think the phones are one thing. It was a bit distressing to hear that US schools have “school shooting drills” like Japan schools have “earthquake drills”.

That's nonsense. It's like feeling you need to disclose that your IDE has autocomplete. Nobody discloses that, since it's ridiculous. You only disclose that you used Claude Code if you are not certain of the result (e.g. you

Or you know, they just feel like code should be free. Like beer should be free. We didn't have this whole issue 20 years ago because nobody gave a shit. If your code was public, and on the internet, it was free for everyone to use by d

Well, the thing I absolutely love about my linux setup, is that I can literally leave my computer running for a year, come back after that one year, and find it in exactly the state I left it. The system will never attempt to do anything fo

That’s bizarre. Why would you call outsourcing your user management to Google SSO? That’s a feature provided by most spam systems to authenticate you, not a serious business application.
830.
by Aeolun 1y ago
Well, you can just ignore all these customers? Point to the ‘SSO is self-service’ sign you have hanging above your website?
831.
by Aeolun 1y ago
But for enterprise SSO they get to handle all that right? That’s a pure win for your support burden.

It’s kinda funny right? You’d expect the number of comments to rise with the number of users, but aside from a few highly controversial topics we still have posts on the front page that barely get to triple digits comments, if even.

> Claude may be arguably the best model, but why decide unilaterally for your users that they _have_ to use it? What a ridiculous proposition. It’s me making the app right? You getting to use it (if you want) is purely incidental. If y

You shouldn’t have 700k security groups though. I know that you end up with that, but it feels like a sign of organisational disease (not that we’re doing much better, but the ratio is more 1 to 1, instead of 3.5 to 1

Sure, but that more than surface level meaning comes out in the story, not often in the specific way the sentences are written (I acknowledge those exist, I just don’t consider them the majority). Also, you say you don’t understand why anyo

I think there’s only a very small subset of fiction that uses the prose to that extent. Much like code really. If you are writing original algorithms you cannot use the LLM. If you are just remixing existing ones, it becomes a lot more usef

Personally I’m having a blast reading AI generated fiction. As long as the direction is human, and often enough corrected to keep the minor inconsistencies out, the results are pretty good. For me it’s no different from generating code with
