I do work for an mid-sized company, and they are drowning in CSV files. They don't have a database, really. They have lots of different enterprise software systems that they use, each of which exports differently formatted CSV files th

I think this is why most managers take the estimates provided by developers, double them and then go up one unit of time.

Ha, I thought I was the only person in the world who disliked syntax highlighting. I only use :syntax on when I can't find a parse error! My only real exposure to an IDE like development experience is the Google Apps Script editor and

The claim “They are always novice developers that are not familiar with the APIs that LLMs generate code for them” seems pretty outlandish to me.

Yeah that statement seemed very strange to me too. I’ve been writing software for 20 years and I use ChatGPT4 everyday because it’s faster to edit and debug some code with a LLM than it is to write it all from scratch

They could be considered a transaction tax and/or payment processing fee. But they are not the reason people would be willing to accept a token in exchange for some real resource like labour, because unless you’re already using that to

Disguising as popular? Also I know Graeber talks about this in his book Debt but I haven’t read it because I hate his bullshit jobs work so much.

Maybe you've never tried to tell a tax-is-theft libertarian that money only exists as a result of taxation.
709.
by dools 3y ago
I disagree with that definition of money. I don't think it actually defines what money is or what it does. I think that if you want to think of money in terms of "value" that rather than a "store" of value, it is a

There’s another book smell which I noticed in lots of kids books when I was a kid, that totally smelled like vomit. For years I thought it was because kids barfed all the time but it turns out it was the printing chemicals and paper.

My brother has this problem but for all films. He was a producer, so his field of expertise is film. As a result, I can enjoy a wide range of film and TV series that he finds unwatchable because "the casting is terrible" or "
