The global economy is built on confidence which is derived from trust in financial institutions and whether governments act economically reasonably. It's not a matter of whether there's other banks that can take on the business. I

Chrome got to do it with Gmail/etc. when they were ramping up, so I don't see the issue with Edge doing it. Edge has another funny behavior where if you go to a Chrome extension page, it says you can install the extension. However

JP Morgan is the very definition of 'too big to fail'. Any actions against them to that degree would be self-sabotaging by any country. I'm not saying it's a good thing, but that's the reality right now.

Hello fellow Belgian! It's always been tough to maintain the collecting overseas, what with expensive shipping costs. I've always found it peculiar that scanned francophone comics are not as prevalent as both American and Japanese

StackEdit[0] pretty much perfected what I needed out of a markdown editor - I just need somewhere to write my tickets/docs that wasn't Github so that I could format it properly while writing. I still use it from time to time [0]:

Capitalism isn't a type of government. You seem to have missed the point. The ever expanding need for material wealth is what destroys. It doesn't matter by whom or to what ends or under what name.

Agreed. The only mandate for a corporation is growth and revenue. These goals are at odds with the good of people and our planet, as we've seen countless times. Corporations consume most of our resources, produce the most waste, and da

I don't know that this is always the case, or if it's a scale thing. I remember great, classic forum threads with 100+ pages that would get referenced, maintained, etc. It felt like being put on the same level as everyone else in

As a Rails person, I get a lot of those requests. It may be that after years of working on other technologies, you just aren't passing the filters anymore. When we were aggressively hiring Rails devs in 2021, we specifically searched f

Sendgrid doesn't log sent email bodies, as a simple example. Think harder!

These aren't massive communities, these big modders often know each other and work together. I'd say it depends on your background and availability. Most people in any of these intense tech scenes are a combination of a)young&#x2F

What about it? You're arguing a point I haven't made. I was merely saying the data set is valuable or they wouldn't have trained on it. GP was saying the data was worthless.

That's a cool source that contradicts the article posted originally. In yours they say they won't prosecute, but in the article it claims they were low-key threatened into getting rid of the garden. Odd.

What about the fact that OpenAI used Reddit as a dataset for training GPT? Seems like the data was valuable.

Funny to see people quick to make fun of a project for not being able to instantly handle a spike in requests, which most of their own apps wouldn't either! Reddit has been around nearly 20 years to harden their infrastructure. Relax a

I've been giving it a shot based on recommendations from my bosses, and I'm a senior+ dev. 80% of the time, the suggestions are either too generic for our codebase and so has to be patched up with our variable names, methods, etc.

But that isn't fair, since we know a vast majority of all-day computer users don't do this. The impact that a screen inches from your eyeballs has on you physically is simply higher, although both carry costs.

You go from one caricature to the next, trying to sound like you have it figured out. And yet, your inexperience shows from how you view the world. I think you should self-reflect on whether you're projecting the same flaws you exhibit

What does this even mean, with the sarcastic smiley face? Since when are margins and R&D mutually exclusive?

I think you could have made your point without resorting to baseless ad hominems > people who have never done a day's real work in their lives What a dumb statement to make. And you know it.

I think the comparison doesn't work because the composition of the teams doesn't change based on character choice. The interplay of the characters, and inherent strengths and weaknesses of each one create a dynamic metagame that g

I agree with your second statement. I've never known anyone in the US that is employed+housed that keeps their bottles for returns. On the other hand, in Belgium it's pretty normal to keep your case of empty beer bottles and retur

And yet they've been antagonistic towards the modding/piracy community since the beginning and have one of the most loyal fan bases of any gaming brand. How do you explain that?

My dad was gifted an old, defunct Globetrotters pinball machine in the 90s by a neighbor, and spent most of my childhood refurbishing it and fixing it up when it would break down. Lots of fond memories showing it off to my friends, and late
