Some companies have developed their own technology like VFS for use with Perforce, so you can check out the entire suite of applications but only pull the files when you try to access them in a specific way. This is a lot more important in

The difference is that programming is creating the design for the furniture and the process to assemble it using machines. Compilation and deployment is the factory in this case. So you're trying to automate away the design aspect wher

The lesson I take from this is to just use software that is running locally on the machine, especially when doing presentations. Maybe even have a backup that is a simple PDF that you can show page by page - no animations though but can sti

Like when people assume a "lifetime guarantee" is for the lifetime of themselves. More correctly it means for the lifetime of the company or the product support cycle.

Trump can afford to do that because the highest court in the land said anything he does as President in official duties he cannot be tried for. So now he doesn't care what any court says.

That has got to be one of the most easily gamed metrics that there ever has been. "Make sure you use this website that costs the company money frequently" I wonder how it will play out when the costs of using an AI service are no

Could the current use of "AI" also be considered a dark pattern? In the way that dark patterns get you to use/pay for a product/service that you might not want to, but are too confused, frustrated, or the cost/time

The main place in Australia where it would make sense to make high speed rail is the big Sydney-Melbourne route as it's been the world's 3rd or so busiest air route for many decades now. Currently it's about a 2 hour flight a

I do wonder how much smaller the STL source code would be if it was pre-processed or written with only a single C++ standard in mind. So only for C++20 or only for C++23 etc. In that case how much faster would things be to compile where it

Having a minimum age to get some life experience is fine, and 35 I would consider a good age, however the minimum age in the USA these days seems like 70. As for being born in the country, I'm sure with the challenge to birthright citi

With some customisations from the default settings the Windows 10 start menu works best for me, better than Windows 7, better than Windows 11. Scrollable folder view on the left, pane of shortcuts on the right. Sure they're the panels

You could also say that a command line terminal is just a wrapper around the OS's process start function. But in all seriousness a good IDE is much more than a text editor and buttons which run terminal commands. The main thing a good

It kindof depends when a country did its investment into Internet infrastructure. More western countries did it first and are now stuck with older technologies that limit speed and capacity, where as the less modern countries put that inves

You can uninstall CoPilot from Visual Studio - it's a separate entry in the Visual Studio Installer - and you need to set an option in Visual Studio to hide the buttons. But yes, I am constantly frustrated with the constant pushing in

Isn't this what YouTube has been doing with automatically generated subtitles for videos for years? I've always found their quality to be somewhat lacking.

They might not be but using language which equates these generative LLMs with junior developers does allow a shift of meaning to actually equate juniors with LLMs, meaning they are the interchangeable, and therefore generative LLMs can repl

Eager junior can learn and in time not be a junior. If you stop the need of having juniors you're never going to get more experienced people.

To me the joy of not doing anything productive means just sitting/laying on the couch consuming content in one form or another. I'm sure it can also mean just sitting and enjoying a coffee, which is fine but I don't find that

I would imagine the context takes up valuable input tokens that you would otherwise need to use for your request. So you'll run out at some point and then you just have a simple model rather than a skilled engineer.

At least with a Junior Engineer they can learn and grow from your feedback, becoming a more useful member of the team, the generative model on the other hand will not.

Why learn to paint or draw if generative ML can create a picture for you? Why practice writing if generative ML can create a poem or short story for you? In that regard you're best off just sitting down in front of a screen and consumi

Maybe it's time people started hacking the TVs and getting custom OSes running on them. Though I suspect that the processors inside TVs don't have publicly available datasheets, and the actual boards get changed pretty often, so i

I have done that in the past, though it was more that certain features were just broken in a browser rather than the whole website not working. If I needed to run another entire browser just for this website I wouldn't bother.
