Well. I guess I’ll never understand why someone would dislike a comment about an experience different from theirs In a forum like this. i’m confused why someone would hate my report of how I had to solve a problem in my circustances. I hope

Hey, more people installing the Epic Games Launcher is probably the win. Platform neutrality, or its specter, probably wins for us. It’d be much more offensive to our sensibilities if it were like the situation on iOS where Amazon is availa

“Easily” was a minor canard, or at least… it took me a couple of efforts over a couple of days to get the dependencies to play as nicely as “someone with a brand new M2 arm laptop.” If nothing else, I continue to be amazed and how uninterop

I still have an intel model, upgrading would cost me an ARM! But I am a fan, have used em at work.

It stinks that people keep meaning “M1/M2” macbook when they say “macbook.”

Clippy: it appears that you’re writing a very sad word document in partially broken Danish, and keep trying to signal SOS with your typing pattern. Would you feel better in bold Comic Sans? You: aw, clippy, I believed in you all along

This conversation needs someone fiddling in the background. No one had a normal economic life for several years. It’s a miracle that these levers have been adjusted to the point that everyone is like “well no one going to work for three yea

“I want to record audio” should not require even 2 hours of work. It’s still a 10 year learning experience in some circumstances. I’m at 20, hopefully I’m saying something useful. I support reaper, here’s an opinion. My problem with reaper

It’s exciting because these are totally reproducible conditions. I usually cryogenically chill my devices when I’m making Earl Grey, hot! ;) It is the replicator, but mostly mathematically. This is a rumble in future-tech suggested by Fouri

I was confused for far too long about what tensors are, because I got weird answers from authority figures and I guess it never clicked. Lol. That was silly. In this regime, [x y z w] is an ordinary matrix, while [x y z is_feline_65] is a t

Sure do! It is interesting that these technologies evolve more slowly than it seems, sometimes. On the graybearding of the cohort, here’s a weird one to me. These days, I mention slashdot and get more of a response from peers than mentionin

Can you imagine only being able to cook a hamburger on one brand of grill? But you can make something kinda similar in the toaster oven you can afford? I want to be productive on this comment… but the crypto/cuda nexus of GPU work is s

Yes, genies can be put back into bottles. We’ve known this for millennia

I wrote another response earlier, but found myself ranting ;) ChatGPT is currently best at things programmers would think about. You’re correct about spatial reasoning. But try stuff like this: “Write a python program that calculates the st

My family told me that ChatGPT came up from the pulpit AT CHURCH Me? I made a few comments like a scared luddite when ChatGPT solved two of my outstanding engineering problems instantly. I got better. But this is exactly right. The world in

My primary criticism is that it took me several minutes to see a chart. The exposition is very interesting. I don't judge a paper by its cover, but it kinda took a lot of work to read something that was described as visual! Is there a

Not fair. That Princess Diana beanie baby is a hold. Take a long position, you're going to be looking at it until you die! I wish I still had my pogs! (Almost not kidding that it's due for a re-commercialization or embedded market

I’m getting criticized a lot for noticing that the nature of our work has changed. I suggest that we simply converse on the topic, but I guess it sounds like BS to people. Heed my warning, you can get a model of our career to write any prog

I’m baffled that I never saw the name Alan Kay. Given, I did not read everything. Expected it to be in bright lights, based on the story I was told ;) (That’s my malformed question)

You are correct, my friend

Don’t take it as discouragement from being a generalist, in er… general. But strike where the iron is hot. Right now the future is ML, not learning the intricacies of the 2022 tech stack. Heck, I’m an automation enthusiast, but if that’s my

I came of age in the industry when there was little distinction (python guy since 2004 or so). That provides many pros and cons. The more you know broadly, the smarter you’ll sound. And generally, you will tend to be more useful and fulfill

Not disagreeing but here’s another lens. Applies to TeX as well. “Java” in javascript kinda meant “modern computer programming” to the audience, in a very very inaccurate and zeitgeist-hype-train way. People who thought “oh yeah, I’ve heard

It’s pretty cool to write a 3D game in godot, and see a browser run it like it’s nothin. It answers the question “but can it run linux/doom?” easily. Does it have the marketshare to make AWS make significantly different decisions? Rema

It’s people who see the potential of this emergent technology getting prematurely excited. It promises to neutralize the playing field like Java promised, and Docker. I’ve seen WASM do some cool shit, don’t count it out. Just factor in the

Oh you’re right. It just makes analysis like, dumb. Making piles of money, inspiring a lot of people, while holding a questionable vision just isn’t something reactionary people do, usually. It’s something con-men do, but they usually try t

I vaguely feel like someone (ahem) is trying to get us to riot over silly things, as an experiment. It doesn’t make any sense.

Well! My curiosity is satisfied. I’m not ivory-towered enough to think of Haskell for this, but may be somewhat biased in a snake case direction. I like it, you called my cohort out on being jaded by the developer experience of J2EE. I will
