We are normalising everything and everyone into information grey goo.

So my daughter got sent home with some math questions. Thought they looked a bit dry but thought nothing further of it. I checked the answers for her which were all ok. Couple of days later she comes home and tells me I was wrong about some

Lovely people no? I had death threats once for raising a github issue!

About 10 years ago I was on a contract sabbatical from the usual job and the customer at the time open sourced part of the product with the wrong license, a competitor forked it and made a superior product, undercut them and took all of the

YMMV. A few years ago I found I was the contrarian friend in my group because I wasn't a sexist, racist anti-vaxxer. Found better friends.

Already in it. Was a premonition.

We are fairly high traffic. Deployments, even rolling, can and do cause fairly noticeable latency spikes and side effects like upstream services having to queue requests, pool escalations, all sorts. Warming stuff up before first hit is a c

Sometimes. It's usually a lot bigger than that the moment you pull in any simple dependencies. Also the CLR memory overhead is horrible. Our .Net guys have serious problems with startup time (JIT) and initialy latency on .Net Core so

Low tech solution here. Found a cheat sheet and printed it and stuck it on the wall next to my monitor.

Unfortunately I won’t because they know who I am from this post. And they weren’t particularly nice when I complained.

Assuming of course than you are both competent enough and attentive enough to identify the AI's mistakes. This is the problem I have seen a lot. From professionals to beginners, unless you actually carved the rock yourself, you don&#x2

Indeed. You can however be a moron and delegate it to another moron.

Oh 100% agree there. It's who they have to deal with who are the problem.

A classic tale. Finger pointing between merchants, card providers and banks. All of them: it was someone else!

I had AI interview recently and I was a little offended considering the level of position so I decided to go off script and complain about the perception it gave them rather than answering the questions. It neatly transcribed this and sent

The sort of people I know who would buy that are the sort of people who will break it within the first week of owning it. It is the same with folding phone owners I know.

Yeah we have many accounts. Hence why I know ours cheap. Difficult to break it down within the account as you say without tag maintenance.

Yeah that. We moved to AWS using their best practices and enterprise cost estimation stuff and got a 6x cost increment on something that was supposed to be cheaper and now we’re fucked because we can’t get out. It’s nearly impossible to tel

We moved off IRC to Slack ages ago. Then they decided Slack was too expensive so we were forced to Teams which is bundled with the inescapable O365 license. We now use IRC again (UnrealIRCd) which runs on a debian VM on someone's works

That’s only because half office hangs off it. If it didn’t they wouldn’t have just left it.

It’s in there because it’s a cockroach. It is throughly abandoned though, frozen in time. You can observe this looking at the state of old outlook.

Still works fine. High DPI stuff is a dick but that’s about it.

Still writing win32 stuff like it’s 1995 here. We have bits of ATL/MFC hanging out which are throughly abandoned. I don’t trust WinUI at all. I was surprised, when I spoke to a former colleague, to find that an internal tool I wrote 25

I think this poll is disingenuously quoted here and may not represent public opinion that well. The questions are very specific rather than general. For example you can disapprove of the military action and the president of a country, but t

As it’s a threat, it’s cheap and easy words to pacify growing hostility within society. It has nothing to do with helping the Palestinian and Israeli people or holding the Israeli government or Hamas to account.

Once you have collected the data it won’t be uncollected, to paraphrase Pink Floyd, when the right one walks out of the door.

This exists only to pacify people and make them think someone has listened to them.
