I agree with this take, in the main. I think the level of FUD elsewhere is probably unwarranted. Though I fully subscribe to the idea that it is very disruptive tech. In the context of software engineering I am tending to see it as another

In comments on this post, and elsewhere on other posts about AI, I see a lot of people referring to worries around the potential for lots of types of jobs to be heavily impacted by this technology. I feel like people are often referring to

Yeah. I think it can be done. But you've got to jump through hoops sometimes for sure. This kind of crap https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Need-help-... "Ideally, you've used the sam

I'm a self-confessed Thinkpad fanboi so very happy to contribute my story. I bought the laptop I am typing on now (P51s) on eBay 4 years ago for ~£600 with a couple of years of warranty remaining. During a covid lockdown it developed a

As I understand it, DuckDuckGo relies heavily on Bing. Am interested, and alarmed, to know how this might play out.

I neither stopped programming nor took on a new role. In fact, I think if I were younger I would have sough a new position more aggressively (have been in my current role quite a while). I did however prioritise family and more recently sel

I read the trilogy and thoroughly enjoyed it. But yes, not exactly hard sci-fi through and through. My favourite idea wasn't even really a sci-fi thing. I really liked the idea of the Wallfacers. Really clever bit of storytelling, I th

Lots of good stuff ends up on iPlayer, including films. As for the other ones, I do a month or two of Netflix each year and it's pretty much always a disappointment, though with a bit of digging there are normally 2 or 3 things I find

I haven't read any of the comments besides yours yet. I'm a pretty cynical person - I am drawn to skepticism in a discussion, hence wanting to reply to your comment. I went through the exercise in the link and found it really inte

This looks interesting too, thanks. Not exactly what I was after but still worthwhile. Can't help but wonder if there ids something on my doorstep worth visiting! I have asked for it as a Christmas present. I found a slightly later edi

I was recently searching the internet for similar resources for the UK. I didn't find what I was looking for. There seem to be quite a few car factories one can visit, but they are geared towards car enthusiasts, which I am not. I did

Another recent Elixir / BEAM convert here. I have touched on a few languages in recent years (Scala, Haskell, Rust) and Elixir is the first that has really got to sit up and take notice. Coming from pretty strict OOP I have found it qu

Save them for when they really matter. I have opinions about pretty much everything, but quite often nobody needs or wants to hear about them. So I try to say little, abut have strong conviction when I do. That way I find people stop and li

I love being alone too. But I learnt a while ago that being alone too much is bad for my mental health. It sounds like you might be on the way to teaching a similar conclusion. That being the case, I recommend continuing to enjoy being alon

I recently zipped all my photos ever into one ~400gb file (along with a .txt file list). I have the photos 'online' at home and a copy of the zip archive at home, but the cloud copy is in AWS where I pay about $0.40 a month to kee

Neal Stephenson's excellent (if a little over-long) book Termination Shock suggests another option for dealing with attacking drones. Not going to leave a spoiler here though.

I'm surprised and a little disappointed that neither 'munch' nor 'muncher' feature anywhere. Also 'dipboy' is a weird.one. maybe a crypto thing..?

Yeah that's a good pragmatic approach. "I can't estimate that right now but if I spend half a day on it I can give you a figure".

Meh ... give people what they want. "I cannot estimate Z" is a refusal and I would suggest an ego-driven one. I would just say "between 1 and 12 months", or something like that. If they were then not happy with that I wo

Came here to say this. Also, the littering aspect is not so great. As you say, this item seems out of place on an otherwise surprisingly consistently convincing list. Another child-related one is good advice "For the best results with
