You can't just make a one sided contract agreement like that though. Just like I can't tell anyone that by reading this comment they agree to pay me (as another commenter pointed out).

Maybe it's just a slow design trend, these things come and go.

Thank you, the guidelines are clear that the original source should be linked.

In this case I can imagine their emails and messages started flowing in fast once the news broke, from both news outles, tech bros, AI companies and would-be AI cult leaders. But that's all in my head.

Whatsapp too, I only caught a glimpse of that fairly recently after we had some local political issue (an asylum seeker center to be built nearby, nothing gets people riled up than something like that). Now I'm in a "post stuff to

No online platform has free speech. No online platform should have free speech. Besides, free speech is a constitutional / legal thing, a platform does not need to host it. Claiming Twitter has free speech (as in absolutist, as in yo

The reposts and crossposts are popular because while you may have seen it before, millions haven't. I think I'm almost at the point of letting it go already. If AI becomes more egregious / apparent, I'm out. I was caught

Spam and abuse. That is, assuming you get critical mass to begin with, but as soon as people find out another service where they can upload files to and the like, the abuse will begin. Facebook employs (tens of?) thousands of people for con

I'm just going to wait it out, as these trends come and go; before AI it was Rust, before Rust it was IoT, before IoT it was big data, crypto was weaved through it, etc. I'm sure someone's done the numbers on HN trending topi

Besides AI what other commenters pointed out, commercialized / "production line" influencers are already a thing and have been for years. I've seen some pretty dystopian studios being posted on social media (take that wi

I'd argue that as long as it produced working code it's better than nothing, in this case.

JSON is for humans to read and maintain, not machines to read/write - and machines read/write millions of times more than humans do. Using JSON / HTTP for backend communication (i.e. microservices) is madness when you conside

This is the one. Think of all the "misconceptions developer have about X" lists, I trust Unicode to have encountered (if not written) all of them. The people behind unicode are thorough . I mean they have hieroglyphs, some of whi

I think this is just the format and specification itself, language selection and file storage and the like will depend on an implementing library. The i18next version for example (bizarrely) puts the whole string in a JSON key, but to be ho

It looks more like a DSL than configuration, but then given what I've learned about localization that's probably necessary in some cases! However, ideally / in most cases it isn't.

by Cthulhu_ 9mo ago
Are there any formal test suites to check and compare the various localization libraries with each other? There's a lot of languages and language specific rules and exceptions to consider, after all.

This is also how plastic "recycling" goes. Stuff gets collected, sorted, baled up, and a checkmark for "this is recycled" is placed. Then it gets loaded onto a ship and exported and ends up in landfill or incinerated any

To add, the other dominant force is Angular, very popular in enterprise settings. I don't understand why per se, it's very... verbose, every component needing a number of files. It (and also React) gets worse if you add a state sy

Sounds like... every theme park ever, but theme parks have moved to using screens to preview them instead of printing photos years ago. Some have an app too so you can log the number and have them printed or digitally sent to you before or

It's a very versatile word; minge, minger, minging, all meaning something different. (in order: vagina, ugly person, gross/disgusting, like Calypso Paradise Punch)
