The web, especially frontend feels far more foreign than any backend or "traditional" programming. The errors suck, sometimes you get no error and have no idea why it isn't working etc. So in a sense I feel like a junior

LLMs are advancing as well, just not from your/my direct input. Or from our direct input ( considering they learn from our own questions ) and from 100k others that are using them for their work. Juniors today can learn exponentially f

Drive scarcity? I was playing pirated WC3 20 years ago, on pirated battle.net. There's no such thing as scarcity for old games. They will forever be available as long as there are seeders.

Afaik Russia isn't losing its own army, all those soldiers lost are foreign mercenaries which only costs them money. Kill ratios might be because they're sending in untrained Indians and not professional soldiers. As I understand

can the west afford to isolate itself from china though? if they are so scared how come they threaten it so much, just trolling? I mean the US just spent 8B to hedge this risk, surely you know better lol

that very low risk is predicated on the US sticking its neck out for Taiwan. Also considering what's happening in the world at large I wouldn't be so sure there's that low of a risk after all

I was going to play devil's advocate and say that sports team budgets would suffer but maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing. Maybe if movies weren't about making so much money we'd have better movies instead of cash g

I don't think enlightened beings can be traumatized. A better theory I've heard it's that it is easy to keep vows when you live in a temple and never been tempted.
