This. The article alludes to Buddhism, when it comes to living in the moment. But it totally ignored the trap of hedonistic pleasure seeking that goes along with it.

Understanding a topic and letting chatgpt do repetitive and simple boilerplate stuff are not exclusive.

If things like the issues we have seen in the last days require a security review in order to be caught, then I am not very optimistic about the rest of their stack.

Just wanted to throw out a thank you. Your guide was one of the first 'serious' programming material I was exposed to, close to 20 years ago. Let's just say it was immensely helpful, and I might not be where I am now, without

The Jacobin's take on this is more or less equally trustworthy as Breitbart on civil right topics.

You are basically making the case for the anti-trust case here. i.e. it is very hard for another company to compete without "free compute".

Same here. ChatGPT kept coming up with syntactically plausible Java code. However, it kept using library methods that plainly don't exist for specific fields.

Which is why fast growth is so important. It's irrelevant to some degree if this growth is real (driven by a better product), or inflated (by offering steep discounts, ads, marketing, etc). It looks good on paper, and allows raising th

Yes, but the assumption that python abstracts from this, and that ML programmers don't interact with cuda is wrong.

There absolutely are modern systems that have e.g. 128 byte cache lines (M1).

Ok, so you are saying that more problematic road parts have (and should have) lower speed limits.

The concrete problem here depends on when and how often adjustments are needed. If adjustments are needed every week, then the root problem lies deeper.

There really is no disagreement here. GCC implements a language. The intended users are people programming in that language, which implies some sort of proficiency. The author isn't aware of the pitfalls of said language. This is not a

I am not buying it. Writing unit tests for c/c++ is trivial. There are perfectly fine test frameworks, used by developers every day, integrated in any major IDE or runnable as one-liner from the command line. This is absolutely a cultu

Checked Exceptions are really not worse than error result types unless you abuse them for normal control flow. Normally, Rusts exception handling is almost exactly isomorphic to checked exceptions in Java. For general results cases (i.e.

This is not about being poly per se. This is about a bunch of hedonistic kids running a company to the ground and likely committing crimes that could fill a textbook. Being poly does not normalize multiple execs fucking each other in a bill

You could flip all kind of switches as employee. This are not technical constraints, but legal ones. Going by the twitter accounts of some (ex)FTX employees, they have not yet realized what might be coming their way. I.e it doesn't mat

This most definitely happened (also for private people).

That is the big question, that also Twitter failed to adequately answer.

Yes. And while many desktop applications will use web technologies, and all of them will use some kind of UI components, this still has nothing to do with WCAG (which is a guideline for webpages and web applications).

Yes. And WCAG applies to webpages.

An interesting anecdote about a deeply technical problem, with a clever solution, is instantly critiqued, because of an aversion to the topic, and the perceived arrogance of one of the persons involved. This level of cynicism and irony, esp

Except it's intended as a colour palette for code in ides, terminals, etc. So, wether it meets guidelines for web uis is completely irrelevant.

No, this is not really what this is about. But the article is terrible in conveying this -- actually I find the comparison with poker to be very inept. This is less about playing mindtricks and bluffing, but more 'mundane'. I.e. a

The important distinction is: A partner in a law firm, who oversees a large case, is a lawyer. A doctor overseeing med students, etc. is .. a doctor. These are competence and seniority hierarchies. That is very often not the case for eng. m
