I did something similar in the README.md of my foss repo. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to cover all of the possible granular scenarios of what is or isn't AI-assisted. For example, all of the documentation in my repo was 100% a

The loss of AppCode from Jetbrains was a huge blow to my motivation to continue working with Swift. Xcode just can't compare.

I've also been waiting over three weeks to speak with customer support after being gifted an annual subscription just as my payment card expired. The failed payment ( after the $200 gift) downgraded my account to the free tier and I l

It feels wrong but I can't quite put my finger on the reason why... It will make version control more hectic, for sure. It also seems to be conflating identification with configuration which seems non-ideal. What about versioning and u

Some of these are nightmare fuel. I love them.

I agree with this take. What does this bring to the table that can't be done with pretty much any preexisting toolset? Hell, even bash and chroot jail...

I think I saw Gaius Baltar implement this on Battlestar Galactica. It went well. /s Honestly seems more like a protocol for encoding a popularity contest, which is already what social media signalling does. How do you defend against se

I don't understand how this is supposed to solve anything, and I've seen it suggested as a solution multiple times. If you restrict comments to older accounts, all it's going to do is make the bot creators speculatively open

It's an interesting visualization for sure, but I don't really know what I can take away from it. Is it useful for something?

This is a pretty sexist take considering the original article was not talking about the male loneliness epidemic, but elderly, and indeed the first example used was even of an elderly woman awaiting delivery. The commentary here is really

Is it strange that this isn't the first time I've been on this site? It's got pretty great info, and I used to work a lot with vacuum tubes...

Maybe it is the framing of the step as a "reversion" or "roll-back" rather than "spike" or "prototype" that is causing that sense. Personally, I would never throw away the code I spent time and effor

Yeah but this is how Apple has always done infrastructure/services. Their internal software teams are a mess. They constantly reinvent the wheel poorly, and then they charge a premium for exclusive access. Is anyone surprised by this?

I wish there was more support for AMD GPUs on Intel macs. I saw some people on github getting llama.cpp working with it, would it be addable in the future if they make the backend support it?

I think OP and I have very divergent opinions on what makes a file API "best". This may have been the best 30 years ago. The world has moved on.

To be fair, the first novel Hyperion is quite literally a survey of major world religions, not just Christianity. It does settle onto Christian symbolism in the second book onward, but the first two novels alone are still worth reading for

This really isn't the confusing part about Autolayout. The confusing part is the millions of unclear ways to accomplish a given layout. Or figuring out how to make a scroll view content height dynamic. Or move/create anything dyna
