LiMux was such a hopeful project. Let's see whether times truly have changed with the reckless US administration and the total dependence on closed source US software. Maybe Europe will finally truly wake up.

Correct. If the premise doesn't hold, it's ex falso quodlibet for anyone.

What's missing is a balanced view. People are easily divided and suddenly in a binary position. You're either totally pro AI and can't stop talking about it all the time, it's like your new god. Or you're a hater. A

They are a monopoly in certain regions of the world. Even though I live in a western country, just one of my clients after all these years of being self-employed, uses GitHub. Nobody else would ever use it. And why would they? Especially fo

In some jurisdictions/countries they have to call some government service which then tells them whether a person is above or below a certain age. Theoretically you could make this double blind and that's the story they are telling

I will not give them permission to store data about me, personally. So how can they target me specifically? Unless of course they do not honor the agreement... For me it's also not a problem. An ad is easily spottable, because an ad tr

The problem will always be to get your hands on hardware. Software never was the problem.

And the US calls itself a democracy and kills innocent people abroad. I don't see any merit in these simplistic world views. The world isn't Lord of the Rings, it's more A Song Of Ice And Fire.

It's incredible people still discuss the pelicans... But then again, the ad just works.

Exactly that. I wasn't reachable by phone for company related stuff outside my regular working hours unless I had on-call-duty, which means it was working hours. I don't get why people would be proud about not setting boundaries.

Many years ago my mom chose to have the company pay for her private phone number. When she stopped working for them, they informed her, that the number legally belonged to them. It was not a problem for her, because she wanted to get rid of

Unless you're forced at gunpoint, how can there be too many releases? Rust releases every 6 weeks, since 2016... If you don't want to update, just don't? If you feel (!) pressured, you should work on that.

Mhm, I just wonder how many samples they get and how much time they have to come to the conclusion. Like a short example is easier to grade, but not in the same ballpark as a whole codebase.

AI is an average coder. It was trained on all code the code that could be found. Not just code written by genius programmers like Carmack and Bellard. Given that it's average, I'd prefer a human coder above average :)

I am using Rust since 2016 productively... before I dabbled with it. Rust is not compiling any slower than a comparable C++ codebase for me. It is compiling much slower than a managed language like Kotlin, C# etc. though. Which is an unfair

The sad part is that you work in FINANCE of all things and this happens there. Like: What competence do decision makers in FINANCE have, when they are this oblivious to economics?
