Perhaps if employers were better at identifying people's skills from their CVs, they wouldn't need to use AI to rewrite them. A lot of the time, it feels like if your profile doesn't match 100% of the keywords in the job desc

I try to keep my tab count to a reasonable number, and close tabs I'm not using on a regular basis.

Depends how serious the consequences are. A normal scrape which doesn't damage either car much or cause any real injury? That's something for insurance companies to figure out. A major accident that kills or seriously injures some

It's definitely been buggier for a while now. It's already been an issue for a decade or so due to the "release minimum viable product, fix problems with patches/updates model" (especially in the world of video game

I think there are a few reasons to note here: 1. Tech is associated with a lot of the issues affecting society right now, while other business sectors often aren't. Data centres and the rising price of computer components, social media

Apparently Firefox has a config option to disable this: browser.theme.dark-private-windows. Set to false, and you're set.

I think there are a few things to consider here. First, when a human screws up, it's obvious who takes the blame for the mistake. If an autonomous vehicle does, who pays the fine/goes the prison? Putting the blame on the owner fee

Depends on the niche. For your niche of choice (energy, power generation and energy markets), I'd look for industry publications (both magazines and news sites), corporate press releases and news, academic papers on related topics, dis

I do think it'd be useful if AI generated content was pointed out here, given that it usually indicates a lot less investment in the work than if someone made it themself. But I'm not sure there's a great way to handle it. Fl

Honestly, I've always thought that whether frameworks or vanilla JavaScript are better is very context dependent. If you're working on a complex UI where keeping everything consistent and understandable without a framework would b

Have to be honest, while I like the concept of these services, I've never really found the motivation to use them. If I'd came across Neocities in the 90s or 00s I'd have been all over it, but it's hard to justify today

Probably a crazy though, but I sometimes wonder if the pandemic/lockdowns did a number on social media activity too. Maybe a lot of people got burnt out on the whole thing after spending 2-3 years stuck inside with social media as thei

Eh, somewhat. There are definitely more articles and projects created by AI tools nowadays, and those just feel uninteresting to me. But at the same time, I have to question whether I'd feel the same way about any other era of Hacker N

Probably a week or two ago, since I clicked on a Google result that led there. Don't think I've ever specifically seeked out Stack Overflow though, especially not in the last five years.

Not too surprising unfortunately. LinkedIn is all about the hustle, and for most people that's about putting as little as effort as possible into 'content' you hope will pay off. Mix a platform known for the get rich quick mi

I haven't exactly counted it, but I'd say I've almost certainly have access to more than 1MB of my own writing. I've written articles about a variety of the topics for the last decade or two, posted far more on forums th

Only 1 at the moment. A media platform for posting articles that you could charge people access for, sorta like Medium or Substack. What I realised pretty quickly was the following: 1. Getting paid to pay for text based on content was extre

Use it to figure out faster than light travel and efficient space transport. The economic benefits of being able to quickly move resources between Earth and space would be immense, and open a lot of new opportunities.

This is one reason I'm kinda fond of a lot of fan media related communities. Since things like fanfiction, mods and fan games are in legally murky territory, you can't really make money off of them, especially not directly. It&#x2

I feel like it's more than a handful of areas, though I'll grant there are plenty where academia or mainstream media outlets are the most reliable/trusted source. If you're talking about astrophysics, the history of the

I do feel they've got a good point about notable sources in 2026. Wikipedia seems to have reliable source rules straight out of the 80s or 90s. In the internet era, the most reliable sources aren't usually old school journalists o

I'm done on mobile when this happens. I can't stand the new Reddit UI, and it's so buggy in mobile browsers that it's damn near unusable. Like, why is it so bad at remembering what pages I previously visited here? I shou

LinkedIn doesn't really reward meaningful content. People there are just looking for meaningless business related platitudes at the expense of all else. Well, that and based on my experience, most AI 'evangelists' tend to be

It's a promising system, and I'd probably use it over a non-federated video hosting system if I wanted to run a video hosting site of some kind. Yet it's currently hard to find a real usecase for it, since neither the content

I think if I had to find any defence for AI, it's that it provides an efficient way to create things that don't matter, but which society desperately tries to pretend are important somehow. Meaningless corporate presentations, mos

I've sometimes suspected it's an investment thing. A Discord server or subreddit is free, can be setup or abandoned at any time, and (on Reddit) can be taken over by the site or another team whenever you move on. So, there's

by CM30 3mo ago
Eh, I think both formats have their pros and cons. For example, a standard forum discussion tends to prioritise the last post, while a Reddit one tends to prioritise the first few posts. This means that unless you can get into a discussion

Like GOG? Yeah, I'm a bit more accepting of those, since they're DRM free. Being able to just copy and paste from one computer to another or what not is how I feel digital games should work, and how I know they don't work on

Yeah I've seen those, and I deliberately haven't bought any games only available in that format. They're theoretically a tiny bit better than download codes, but the same applies. If this is the format going forward, I'm

Well, if Nintendo and Microsoft go the same route (and sadly, I see that being almost inevitable at some point), that's probably the end of my interest in gaming as a whole. I generally refuse to 'rent' or 'license&#x27
