Because we want to interact with our friends and family without being forced to switch platforms. I don't care about Apple's business model.

True. I will save effort by only expending it when needed (when I need to review my coworkers' code, legacy code, or libraries).

"In the small", it's easy to read code. This code computes this value, and writes it there, etc. The harder part is answering why it does what it does, which is harder for code someone else wrote. I think it is worthwhile exp

Last.fm for books sounds like Goodreads, but not sure how Amazon buying it bodes for its future. It does attempt to make recommendations.

Why would it disappear? I have used the same key bindings (from Sublime) on Jetbrains IDEs for years.

AI saves you an insane amount of typing, but adds an insane amount of reading, which is strictly harder than typing (at least for me).

At least the jetbrains ide exists for all major platforms.

Elon seems to have bought control over the US treasury, so he's in those leagues.

Is using AI the equivalent of using a calculator to look up trigonometric function values, or outsourcing understanding what the functions are?

I don't think suspension geometry and design is what people mean when they say build quality. Stuff like panel gaps and alignment, roofs flying off on highways, inability to handle drive-through car washes, and so on is what the "

Are other kernels that don't get the 1M hours per year as usable by end users as Linux?

The only time scale we care about is the duration human beings have been around. You know the planet being fine it's humans we are worried about and all that jazz.

Watching someone (relatively competent in their field) search on Google for "Gmail" then click on the first link to open their inbox a few years ago killed my faith in humanity.

It sounds like you have mastered Rails and know how to solve all of its "issues and headaches".

Why in the world would you need to "compile C code"?

Aside from server software, who really distributes software using Docker? My point is it's closer to "no one" than "everyone".

by abenga 2y ago
The existence of Linux distros with software not packaged using Docker implies that it is definitely not "everyone".

People who are interested in things learn about them at different times. You make it seem like it's "learn about it at the outset or gtfo".

How so? The build fails if linter checks don't pass. What does an ai add to this?

Interestingly, you can follow the source links and find the source[1]. I guess Gemini has no way of separating crackpot nonsense from actual knowledge. [1] https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/download/article-file/620

Oops indeed. I like using FIXME for such to make it stand out it's a deficiency that should be fixed asap (usually before merging the change altogether) compared to TODOs that are improvements that can be implemented in a more leisurel

Airforces do a lot of ceremonial flyover stuff just to train and keep pilots' hours up. I doubt flying to deal with drones, even just for training, is a big lift.

Depends on how far back you zoom out to see. 20, 30 years or so? Definitely. A couple of centuries? Not particularly.

I don't think you can reduce it to this. Even on the showcase videos on the home page I can see weird artifacts, like the red car in the video of the guy walking through a market. The car is driving on a pedestrian walkway (through ped

Why would we assume that "people across the economy reduce spending" == "people across the economy will have more money"? Don't at least some (I would say many) of the people in the economy make income from this u
