I have a Moonlander but I could never get used to it, even when remapping some keys so that tab is where my muscle memory expects it to be. But maybe trying to use it for both windows (play) and macos (work) was a problem. I should give it

Yes and no. You can measure things: * features delivered * time-to-market (idea -> production) * code quality metrics * bugs found / bugs fixed * tickets opened / closed (and with what resolution) / month * revenue vs expe

And even if the refactor is 100x faster (which is unlikely) - would that work have been done at all without AI? What would the effect be on total speed / througput if it was or was not done? These things get more and more difficult to

But those are still digital-only platforms, with a chance of them disappearing. Epic is the biggest risk there, I think. GoG is an interesting case though, it has loads of games that by and large were available on physical media, but becaus

Ironic that you mention MS because also ironically, around the PS4 launch there was a lot of brouhaha about MS not allowing transfering games, while for the PS4 launch video they showed how easy it is to transfer games (just hand over a dis

> How have I not heard of this before? Probably because it's only 9 months old, developed by a Chinese developer (from what I can gather), and vibe coded. The developer has plenty of prior pre-AI experience though.

I have the opposite problem; while zscaler isn't yet forced on us, updates and reboots are. At least system restarts for major updates are announced like a week in advance so there is still some leeway. But it's annoying that my R

Then you sign in using your eID which is both highly secure and tied to your personal identity. Government services don't need 3rd party are-you-a-human verification, not when your account is tied to your identity. (this is from the Ne

But that's not a new issue per se, low effort "covers" / "remixes" of songs has been an issue for a long time. Bonus point if said low-effort remix includes the original artist in the artist fields, so it shows
