I agree with you and I think we're changing at every moment, all the time, but it's usually gradual enough that most people don't notice or care until it manifests as new behavior. My life is materially the same as it was o

Congrats on 30 years of development, ReactOS team! What a lovely walk through the storied history of the project. I wonder how well it runs on XP-era hardware, Thinkpads, etc. I have several for running period games and software, but it&#x2

I agree with you and it's really sad that Tim couldn't take Apple in the direction of user safety over profit. I hope there's some layer between Apple and Gemini but only those at the helm can be trusted to make that happen a

That's really funny and clever that this was a thing, thanks for sharing. I never had the fortune of trying to guess my way through these.

Previous CA resident anecdata, I remember droughts being a normal part of life in central CA 1990-early 2000s. Don't run sprinklers during certain hours, odd/even watering, "the water bill" exclaimations, etc. Like anoth

Intense. It's unfortunate so many are affected. Imagine "a senior uniformed figure like a general" messaging you and within a few days, asking for a $20k deposit. It feels like we've failed people as a whole to not light

Reddit is an interesting case but at least to me it felt genuine in the early years. Even today I generally trust Reddit comments, but it's important to check the context and commentor before proceeding. I feel like even though Reddit

Anecdata but I played games at 4K on a 4GHz Haswell (2013) + 1080 Ti (2017). Definitely faster at 2K but 4K was servicable. It's probably less true now that I'm 1+ years away from the hardware, but 4K gameplay is surprisingly acce

Thanks for the question. It's a couple days later but: > how does the fact that it is of their own volition offer you any comfort? I ask genuinely. Is it something along the lines of recognizing the things you can't change? Yes

I'm in a similar situation, thinking about a paycut or sabbattical just to do something different. I think it's key to think about what makes you happy and interested in your work, and then find a way to map from your current posi

I've had good results with TypeScript. I use a tested project template + .md files as well as ESLint + Stylelint and each project generally turns out pretty clean.

I find Office 2016 feels rather similar to current Office 365 as well. For home office stuff I'd never notice the difference.

RIP Scott Adams. His humor was always slightly outside my realm but as I get older I appreciate it more. Mr. Adams was young too. RIP Mr. Adams. Thank you for your deep unreliquishing jabs at society.

I see it only as a threat to those who have a deep hook into their role as a SWE. If as a SWE you see the oncoming change and adapt to it, no issue. If as a SWE you see the enablement of LLMs as an existential threat, then you will find man

Grateful for Metabrainz putting in this work to keep the service up. We really ought to have some kind of "I am an AI!" signal to route the request properly into a long queue...

I feel like early "AI PCs" will be just that - early. 10 years from now people will be trying to run interesting models on anemic processors to see what they can do, meanwhile contemporary systems will fly through modern quantized

Yes. It starts benign "no major changes!" and soon stock is reduced, staff get cut, and cost cutting rules are enacted by people who never have to witness the effects on the patients who slip into worse outcomes. And if it crashes

It's worth asking if you're curious or have a good relationship with the provider. Some may be willing to tell all about their ownership or management situation if prompted politely. I know of a childcare center that was acquired

Another user above described the curve as K-shaped and that resonates to me as well. Above a certain line of knowledge and discernment the user is likely to benefit from the tool. Below the line, the tool can become harmful.

This is my experience too. Most bots are happy to discuss health stuff in a vacuum, which works for some queries.
