So where are all the successful AI slop products?

Very neat. I'm not sure if I missed it, but is there any way to get n equidistant points on the curve? E.g. for moving an object at constant speed along the curve.

Easy to mitigate by only allowing the device that requested the 6-digit code to use the code. Edit: See first reply, this is not a mitigation at all!

The reason working with the DOM directly is hard is that you have to implement arbitrary patching to go from one state to another. The entire point of frameworks like React is to avoid the problem, by automatically creating and applying the

Programming languages are different. They usually can't be "repaired" once broken, because they need to maintain backwards compatibility.

Yeah, Super Mario Bros is 40+ years old by now. Runs just fine in an emulator, even if you can't find the original hardware. Modern SaaS apps can't be run once the company shuts it down. You don't have the code, not even the

Firefly can construct any named record from any other record (named or anonymous): let point = (x = 5, y = 7) let point3d = point.Point3d(z = 0) We included this feature specifically to make it easy to use named and unnamed rec

Here's a fun exercise: Put the front page of your favorite web framework though https://pagespeed.web.dev/ (if you don't have a favorite, try react.dev) We're using this benchmark all the time on https:&#x2F

Calling someone "immature" can be considered an ad hominem attack if it is used as a way to dismiss or undermine their argument without addressing the substance of what they are saying.

Please refrain from ad hominem attacks.

Isn't this the case regardless of whether you use AI or not? Is this an argument for being less productive?

What kind of data would you want? I'm 100x as productive now that I eat breakfast while reciting the declaration of independence. You really should try it. Don't give up, it works if you do it just right. Edit: I realize this line

BFF (pun intended?) in this context means "backend for frontend". The idea is that every frontend has a dedicated backend with exactly the api that that frontend needs.

Wait, what's wrong with those narratives? College is free in Denmark (in fact you get paid to study).

YouTube is probably the most expensive streaming app, and there are still ads (sponsored sections) in nearly every video.

The EU spends as much as the US on Ukraine, and about twice as much if you count refugee aid.

This is great! Especially that you can jump over the net. A long time ago, I made a clone of the same game for the Ti83+ :) https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/290/29096.htm...

I think this "good devs don't complain" mentality risks real issues being overlooked and left unaddressed.

This would be a lot more convincing if served with an example of a language where subtyping doesn't lead to more rough edges.

Did you forget to include `middle-name`? There's no way to tell.
