The backlog is here because they didn't care to fix it, because it wasn't that important and it's not what's causing the business to fail. That's not what's gonna drive employment.

The thing is that the world is already flooded by software, games, websites, everyone is just battling for attention. The demand for developers cannot rise if consumers have a limited amount of money and time anyways.

That's also why I don't use these tools that much. You have big AI companies, known for harvesting humongous amount of data, illegally, not disclosing datasets. And they you give them control of your computer, without any way to c

So when should we start to be worried, as developers ? Like, I don't use these tools yet for cost + security. But you can see it's getting there, mostly. It could take a day before to find a complex algorithm, understand it, and i

Powershell feels like it's not built to be used in a practical way, unlike Unix tools that have been built and used by and for developers, which then feels nice because they are actually used a lot, and feel good to use. Like, to set a

It's not raw, in the sense that it's not an objective measurement. It's a comparison with other humans of the same age that took the same tests. 100 IQ means that you score in a perfectly average way, you're better than

I'd say that because right now, verifying the LLM output (meaning: not trusting it) is a huge bottleneck (rightfully so). I guess they are trying to convince people that this bottleneck is no more, with this IDE.

Yeah I think what they'll miss is a small tool to stream your games to your TV (well maybe it's already possible ?) because the drawback of having just 1 machine as PC and console is that it can't be both at your desk and in

Not going to happen. In fact, they seem to go the opposite direction because there's more money to be made.

Exactly, I sold my Switch because I just happened to play most of my games on PC and steam. Worst case scenario, it can be a desktop computer (I don't have one, only a laptop) Whereas a playstation or a switch, once I don't game a

I guess you're right, even though it's possible to change the gabecube into a workstation and use it for work, never gaming, it's really unlikely it'll ever be a significant proportion of the buyers. Since they have the

Except an RTS is designed around it If the game needs to perform grind yourself, without delegating it (think Albion Online, Eve Online, Black Desert Online, Path of Exile etc. basically every MMO with economy), it means it's actively

Personally, I think that if I need to delegate the grind, then the game is badly designed (or you are cheating)

"steam games", doesn't really mean anything. Most games are on steam nowadays. It mostly depends on the OS on which the games run. Games with kernel anti cheat: low cheaters population, runs on Windows but not Linux. Games wi

I don't think they have, but it's the business model of most consoles, to be able to be very affordable. So since the headline is implying it'll do better than consoles, it's implying it'll be sold at a loss too. Bu

If that's what happens, then I'm buying one of these right away for sure. I mean, I use steam a lot, but I certainly won't be locked in their "SteamOS". Maybe they are betting that most users will be too lazy to cha

I hardly understand the headline. Steam machine is just a computer, and since it can be used for other stuff than playing games, then it can't have the cheap pricing of a console. Most consoles are sold at a loss, and the benefits are

Well it's true that there's a web option, but it's not the same. It's way more annoying to use IMO (it feels like all your files have to be "in the cloud" ?), and it struggles with big files. On top of that it&

They try to work hard and get rid of bias through various methods: peer reviews, precise methodology (randomization, blind tests etc.). And of course, even those sciences are not perfect, subject to biases, and evolve. This applies only to
