Rocket Launcher? Please, let it be Rocket Launcher for once.

I think what you're describing is, easy tasks are easy to perform. Which is, of course, true. Anecdotally, a lot of value I get from Copilot is in simple, mundane tasks.

Sounds fantastic! And it might also help with ageism, when "learned programming long before LLMs" is recognized as a differentiator. I, for one, welcome this change very much, disastrous as it sounds.

What's different is the badness of the outcome: if children mislabel you as a cheater in CoD, you may get kicked from the server. If CloudFlare mislabels you as a bot, however, you may be unable to access medical services, or your bank

This messaging is compelling. Are you also perchance against all bad things, and in favor of all good things?

What you're describing was precisely our culture at the last startup. One group plans ahead and overall do a solid job, so they're rarely swamped, never pull all-nighters. People are never promoted, they're thought of as slac

Thanks! I totally forgot about case-sensitivity of Democrats, and sure, I meant the big D.

Yep, I also thought that the article is less about personal projects. The list of software development aspects that the author gives includes CI/CD, good documentation, and integration tests — I'd be surprised if a lot of hobby pr

> Russia is not a democracy How do you determine this though? There are candidates. Majority of the people vote. The one voted for the most wins. Sure, _some_ candidates are in jail (or dead) — but that's strictly because they were

The list of inconsistencies you gave, while complete, is also empty.

That's a very charitable way of explaining away literally anything. Let me try: It's not like Putin started a war, but rather some officials trusted the electorate at some level and decided that the rules the electorate chose to m

- Russian Federation is technically a democracy. - Belarus, same thing. - Ukraine, same thing. They're all in Europe, too. - Israel, where the Netanyahu's trial is commonly seen (by both sides!) as a way to prevent Netanyahu from

The only party largely unaffected by this anti-consumer disaster is the malicious bots' operators.

For me it's certainly not about hearing my pulse or anything, it's about being able to function at all (sleep, even think). And sure, cars and planes are the best case scenario! Oh how I wish cars and planes would crash in great n

I was a huge Firefox supporter, but then Mozilla started to truly push Pocket. Their recent update, deleting the promise to not sell their users' data, doesn't instill confidence either. I hope that Firefox finds a new home outsid

But the AI tools are extremely easy to use, and their usability improves over time. Of course the businesses prefer the commoditization of the employees, — if everyone uses AI anyway, why not hire the cheapest possible candidates? For the e

Ohh I feel you. I also struggle with having a garbage job, needing it, and letting it ruin my mental state. The usual advice is to emotionally distance yourself from bad interactions. No idea how to do that though. What kind of works for me

In many languages, types don't survive the compilation process (e.g. TypeScript, Java). Yet types describe which data structures are used.

It's funny how our standards for MS are like "their latest user-hostile move was malicious to a very reasonable degree, so it's all good."

I also think Defender is the best AV solution. At the same time, it's a completely useless software, so there's no reason to leave it running. You both can be right. :)

Amusingly, new YouTube channels can't themselves put links in the description of their own videos even. They really dislike this whole hypertext thing.

The same AI companies that release proprietary software in an offensive move intended to devalue and hurt work of many professionals, sure. So, a good thing.

This presents a great opportunity for alternative npm clients (such as bun, yarn). An almost free advantage over the mainline npm CLI.

Not entirely switch, but so far I've been using bun for small side projects and it's been rewarding. There's a lot less project managing, some scripts can be just a single file with no dependencies, no package.json and no bui

And it's successful! I've unironically learned about Bun on YouTube, and now am a happy user. :) A set of "blessed" known good packages would be wonderful to have in any language, I wonder why it's not a thing.

You're right of course. Unless my current place turns into a (more) active warzone, I won't consider relocating. (I also understand that my outsider view on the US political system isn't well-informed. Still, better safe than

Taliban is a terrorist group, painting them in a bad light is factual. Nazis, also factual. So I don't think I fully understand the last sentence. Do you mean it's not appropriate for specifically _minors_ to have a theme park abo

I'm thinking about this the same way, if a bit more selfishly: as a non-US citizen, I might want to move to the US in the future. Which is why I would like the US govt to have as little data as possible about me (who knows what the mai
