> Go works better than other languages for those who have what you call "a talent issue" This is actually true and by design; a bit more nuanced from [0]: "Programmers working at Google are early in their careers and are m

It's not hard, but when you go from project A to B you'll have to check which formatter is used; this is additional setup / overhead, plus context switch. With Go, there is no additional setup / overhead / context s

And I'm thankful that they do, but also, Go was one of the first languages that really pushed for a standard code format - I'm actually surprised this wasn't a thing before. Or I suppose there was, like Checkstyle for Java or

I'd argue that this is neither down to the programming language nor LLM used, but down to your own company's requirements, testing, and code review practices - but you did point the latter out so you're aware of it. I think t

Why type out a prompt instead of link to an authoritative source? Gemini is not a source.

I found this as I was taking a picture of a hare after dark without flash, the image that came up was both relatively sharp and much more illuminated / clear than my own eyes; it can't just have been long exposure time (the mechan

Fair criticism, it's my main gripe with Go as well - it's not strict enough when it comes to e.g. nil, enums, and type safety. Annotations are supported but they're just strings. Projects require additional tooling / lin

I like to keep track of where my former colleagues have gone so I can feel bad about where I'm at.

And the big issue is that everyone jumps on it (professionals and amateurs alike) because of FOMO; the past 15, 20 years have been wild in that regard, with loads of things soaring in value going from Apple, to Tesla, via Bitcoin and pokemo

I think insecurity, over-estimating difficulty / effort, and risk aversion are all to blame. I think these things would improve a lot if people have DIY tasks as part of their upbringing or education, if only to get experience with it.

Still can (libraries still exist plus the internet) but finding the online resources gets more and more difficult; the fact the author mentioned youtube videos instead of someone's old-internet style "all about pvc pipes" web

No need to wait, they invented a female counterpart at the same time called She-Ra. Close but not quite.

Why yes, I too want to "protect the children". But that shouldn't require me to upload my ID to a vague 3rd party to prove my age so I can browse reddit or steam. I believe most online services should have safeguards to prote

Very nice, this is what investigative journalism should be doing as well, but if it's "democratized" by just putting it up on a website we don't need to wait for anyone to publish it. As long as all the sources are liste

Arguably, all online content should be moderated - just because I'm 40 doesn't mean I want to come across decapitations and the like.

> phrasing like "the parents" rather than "with my children i ..." I need to remember this one, thanks! The only way parents can try to protect their kids from the world is to keep them isolated, homeschooled, or in s

Said parents and guardians cannot protect their kids all the time - they have their own responsibilities like work. Most kids go to school during the day. The few that aren't grow up in homeschooling systems or cult-like environments,

I'm not too sure about that, people making stuff have already gotten penalized by overzealous AI detectors, most recently Kurtzgesagt.

It's almost like people need knowledge and experience to work with tools securely. The problem with Firebase (I think) is that its marketing is "it's easy to use" and I'm confident most problems - like storing this

This is a good thing to a point, right? They sell heaps of stock, some old / outdated stock (like "Pass Your Driving Test, 2018 Edition" as per the article), in bulk, at full price, no questions asked. Retailer's dreams

And a way for it to get actual measurable results / feedback loop, which is apparently quite tricky even for humans to get.

There's floaters and then there's asteroid something; you can always go and see a specialist, I believe there's even a treatment for it where they basically filter the particles from the fluid in your eyes.

I can give another recommendation; while you may feel the effects in your neck, it can start well further down from your feet up. Do calf/thigh stretches, tilt your hips "back" (tense your buttocks, do kettlebell swings, dead

Very uncool; Microsoft even uses an URL shortener for most of their links (from windows etc) so that they can theoretically change where the user ends up at if the original page is replaced for whatever reason. But they shouldn't. Micr

I'm not convinced, as every open world game after Morrowind has had a marker or route mapped out for them in the HUD. I wouldn't know how to get from A to B in most games without it. I get that it's opt-in in most cases but s

Maybe; if it's a Js / electron app there's a lower boundary though. The main issue is that the web (html/css) is the most versatile UX platform out there, nothing even comes close. You can't build most web apps&#x27

It's once again a market where there's morbillions of money being invested but no money is being made yet. The next few years will show whether AI becomes established in e.g. large enterprises who use it as part of their daily bus
