Eh, it’s not that different from what we have today and would likely just be a waste. You can already read the contents of a screen programmatically without having to actually parse a video and you can already programmatically simulate clic

…no it isn’t? Spam, debatable, but lie? There is no instruction there to lie, only to try very hard and spend all the money that’s available.

It isn’t, really. If it’s the expected norm in your job then there’s a real chance you’ll lose your job if you don’t do it. And particularly the kind of jobs market we see today that’s a real risk.

Title here seems misleading. The company intends to use the same Rust backend it made for their SQLite compatible project on a Postgres compatible project, making a sort of universal database engine with different front ends.

Maybe an NYC bias here but in my experience finance folks are more closely tied to "well to do" social circles. Summering in the Hamptons, that kind of thing. And that crowd has always had a streak of philanthropy, even if it&#x27

Yes but there are degrees of it and right now we're pivoting towards that power being centralized with the rich once more. Once upon a time only landowners were able to vote. Eventually that changed as the powerful realized that it was

I’d argue it’s worse than that, even: Netflix and the rest would make you download a native app.

Has it not occurred to you that the job of manager has changed in this time? The people managers I am friends with bemoan spending half of their lives doing paperwork for performance reviews. It wasn’t always that way. To be a project manag

You’re really stuck on the maturity thing here and I’ve got to be honest, I don’t get it. Becoming a people manager is not “growing up”, it’s simply a different job. My skills are not in people management. My skills are technical. The organ

I’d say that describes me but I don’t see it as a Peter Pan thing… I’m very technically skilled and I want to keep using those skills. I know the role I want, it’s what I often see advertised as an Architect role. But companies have an orde

Yeah, Idiocracy isn't wrong on the facts about our current day scenario. The issue is where it takes that: poor, lower educated people will inevitably have poor, lowered educated children who will in fact get less and less educated as

Yeah I don't hate the movie by any means I just think it isn't as deep as people often credit it as being. …and if you do credit it with incisive societal commentary you kind of have to engage with the weird implications of what i

I’d argue Idiocracy is actually quite the opposite of what the OP was talking about. It has a mildly eugenics-y vibe where the world is bad because poor, stupid people have poor, stupid kids that outnumber the smart ones. OP is talking abou

I have a friend who uploaded a photo of a mark on their back to Claude, which stated it was a cut that was healing. Went to the doctor, it was skin cancer. That said, Claude did say “I’m not a doctor, if in doubt make sure you see one”. So,

This was always going to be the fate of Plex. You can’t build a sustainable business off the back of most of your users viewing pirated content. I say that without judgement, it’s just a reality. Open source was always going to be the path.

That’s about the most basic imaginable implementation. Typically you use JavaScript runtimes like this to provide a plugin-like system for your static build that allows sandboxed customisation at runtime. Take a look at the JavaScriptCore d

The developer is quite clear about not wanting to make Bun. They want to make a reusable JavaScript runtime for Zig. How would you execute a Node runtime in Zig?

Fair. Though I find it works well when commits get squished at the PR level. That way you have a link to a (hopefully!) detailed overview of what happened, when and why.

Because there will be a reason why the code was changed that introduced the bug. If you fix the bug you might inadvertently break a different piece of functionality. A git commit gives you the reason for the change and the context of what o

No, that’s why there is a concern. They’re replacing human relationships with things that superficially look like human relationships but have no depth.
