This sounds like a very odd and very lonely job to me. Reading your description I pictured a comically tiny room with only one opening for incoming requests and another one for outgoing responses. Obviously silly, but in an abstract sense m

What is an "eco warrior"? It sounds similar to the alt-right term "social justice warrior". Is this on purpose?

I can't tell if this is satire or has been built in earnest. It gives me such strong "The Platform" (2019) vibes, but at the same time I can imagine people actually paying for this. For instance, did nobody ever stop and thin

But that requires an explicit declaration and isn't done automatically under the hood, or am I missing something?

Nice! That's (seems) so simple yet also so very effective. Shouldn't other memory-managed languages be able to profit from this as well?

I'm confused. You heard about someone you knew being wrongfully convicted of a crime he didn't commit and you could have provided the testimony to clear him, but you just decided not to? Why not?

"They're driven by values" is meaningless praise unless you qualify what these values are. The Nazis had values too, you know. They were even willing to die for them. One of the core values of the Catholic church is probably

Yes, I have and no there aren't any services, because it's illegal almost everywhere. But if you give me the 60k, I'll write a wikihow for it.

Because I find LLM-generated content very annoying to read. It's sloggish, bloated, and the speaker always has this cringe way of trying to connect to the audience. I don't believe the story itself is made up by an LLM but I'

I don't see an advantage over C's usual error handling, because this type is lacking the support functions (like bind and fmap in functional languages) or syntax integration (like the try operator in rust) that would make it usefu

It's not that simple. The real problem is that Valve allows items to be sold in markets outside of Valve's control which allows third party gambling websites to operate. And you guessed right, they basically don't care about

This doesn't look like a standard .net config (appsettings.json) to me. It looks more like a simple json serialization of an object. To get the framework behavior that replaces secrets with e.g. env vars one would have to feed this jso

That analogy is off, because LLMs aren't a project I'm working on. They are a tool I can use to do that. And my expectation on tools is that they help me and not make things more complicated than they already are. When LLMs ever r

> No, it's good enough already. If it takes you hours to figure out what's working and what's not, then it isn't good enough. It should just work or it should be obvious when it won't work.

How does this relate to domain-driven design? It seems to be at odds with it, because in DDD it's kind of expected that the same concept will be represented in a different way by each system? But to be honest, I didn't read the wh

This service is pretty much what I, a software developer, am scared off. I expect that it will be used in order to quickly cobble something together and then hand it over to a dev for "polishing". And this sounds like a total nigh

Oh nice, I wasn't aware. I always associated hacking with "gaining unauthorized access" and googling for the first definition confirmed that I'm my eyes. Didn't know it was the other way around and the term is actua

But there is no irony, because it's two different meanings of the word "hacking": firstly "gaining unauthorized access", and secondly "focused programming". I always hated that there is this second meaning

There just aren't that many countries that ever claimed to be communist. You speak like a privileged person, so you're probably born somewhere in the western world. Judging from the current time, I'd say Europe. My guess is y

It's not distracting, it's an important detail underlining the ridiculousness of this decision. Maybe it's just me, but I think innovation awards are for people with scientific mindsets. Jobs obviously didn't have one.
