Klarna, Shopify and either Google or Meta made a lot of press promoting policies like that and also the AI companies themselves are selling this kind of approach in the "how to make the best use of our tools" advice they give to e

Sadly, I mean my current employer is doing the whole "tracking to see AI usage rates" and basically checking in performance reviews if people are using as much AI as the AI sales people told the CEO people need to use. We're

I basically only use it in the workplace, and largely because of one of those AI mandates. I don't think it actually saves me enough time (or for many tasks, any time) so I wouldn't pay for it for my own projects, and also for my

My approach has generally been to accept, refactor and reprompt if I need to tweak things. Of course this does artificially inflate the "accept rate" which the AI companies use to claim that it's writing good code, rather tha

We found that one was a bad idea in the earliest days of the web when AOL thought "what could the harm be?" about turning over anonymised search queries to researchers.

Which is the only email they send to individual account holders. The only email they're keeping are mailing lists which you need to subscribe to seperately which are presumably run by an external provider.

Given these counts are all individually sourced to different articles (or not sourced at all in some cases), I suspect that wikipedia list is rather incomplete. For example, I suspect Birmingham, Alabama, to pick a city at random, has more

It's also worth considering that many editors have default snippets that transform something.await into (await something) for languages with prefix await, so it kind of makes sense to cut out the middle man and just make that the synta

It would need to be &u8, as without a reference, you won't have any captured lifetimes, and therefore it wouldn't serve as an example for the capturing lifetime feature. &u8 is also a mostly pointless type in reality.

It's a reference to a unit type. unit is pretty useless (like void in Java). It's sort of a silly thing you wouldn't do in real production code, just whoever wrote this example picked a type that is short to type, would be un

NetFront! That's the same. I was about to write a comment about it upthread but the only name I remembered was NetSurf which is a different browser so assumed I must have been misremembering.

O2 in Ireland went relatively big into imode and it actually had decent uptick among local stuff. But then GPRS came about and phones started shipping sort of functional J2ME browsers that could do the "real web" and that was that

jj as effectively used is a git UI. There's an experimental self-hosted backend that nobody uses (and is disabled in release builds), and there's a piper backend in Google, which is enough that people call it a VCS of its own rath

> Self-checkout won. I guess my point is that it won in the past. Cashiers that could be replaced by self-checkouts... have already been replaced by self-checkouts. AI doesn't seem to change that situation.

I'm surprised cashiers are listed as the job most likely to be replaced in the graphics in the article. Unattended self-checkouts have been possible for like 15 years now, and it feels like 5 years ago was peak self-checkout, with some

I think the YouTube real names and the nymwars era in general showed that requiring people to use their legal name doesn't actually change community standards.

Yeah, I think they choose "servers" at the beginning because they were targeting the gamer VOIP crowd as a sort of teamspeak competitor and so they were trying to draw an analogy between a discord group and your MMO guild's T

It seems they identified servers via the discovery feature, which servers need to opt into (and I think be recognised as a "community server"? Though that might be out of date). I guess this is better than just scanning the web fo
