   Not the OP, but I tried it when it came out. VR headset technology wasn't good enough for screens within screens and it was nauseating more than anything. There's also impedance mismatch between using the headset controllers and t

   From watching Polymarket, every war ends up being in some weird grey area that screws up the market. It's really hard to write unambiguous rules when there's money on the line. My favourite invasion market was the Syria one, where

   "Control" refers to military occupation of territory. Boots on the ground. No part of Venezuela (referring to its sovereign territory) was indefinitely occupied by the USA. That's why the market is "No" right now. T

   The military has to intend to control territory in the occupation sense. That means controlling the land, not the government. "Venezuela" refers to the land not the state. All the Israel markets have clearly established this inter

   Standard Polymarket legalese for invasions requires the goal of indefinite "control of territory" for this reason. Raids don't qualify. This issue already happened with the war in the Middle East when Israel engaged in cross

   Charlie Kirk has a 3% chance of winning a Nobel Peace Prize right now according to Polymarket. He's climbed from 1% since Maduro was arrested. It seems unlikely since Nobels aren't awarded posthumously.

   I showed a friend how to unpack a struct with a structured binding in C++ and he thought it was the coolest thing ever, so I wrote this blog post. Any feedback is appreciated! I graduated 6 months ago and I'm still learning a lot.

    Can we see an example of this on a moderately sized codebase?

    My work bans raw new and delete, so we only use unique_ptr. It's not as memory safe as Rust's borrow checker but I've never seen a segfault.

    I've been unable to convince any "businessy" or liberal arts people to vibe code. I've attempted with everyone in my immediate family, friends, etc. Even when they sit on the computer and watch the AI type out a script f

    You don't have to enjoy your job. You have 4 YoE. Maybe grind LeetCode and get a job in the next 6 months. If 4 years of work can provide for 2 years of retirement, you can retire at 50 or so.

    I would've assumed it was hardcoded. Not a generic solution for any loop involving a recurring variable.

    Pluvia development has stopped and the devs recommended switching to GameNative.

    Does Microsoft gain useful information about product UX from this? Wondering if any Excel PMs watch this and see where micro-optimizations are made.

    There's an impedance mismatch between what developers want (work on advanced features & clean code) and users want (have a product that fits their specific workflow then gets out of the way). This is solved by users giving the deve

    I do not use Copilot for coding. I use other assistants now. Copilot code review is amazing. I use it all the time.

    It sounds stupid but it works. I've seen it. I put Copilot on AI-generated slop PRs and hit refresh until it stops commenting. It's great seeing it take out all the dead code.

    Many are just doing SWE for the money. Their goal is to pass the hot potato to someone else, so they can say in the standup "oh I'm waiting on review" making it not their problem.

    Embedded systems that EEs code for are like this. I have to explicitly opt into processes and objects in Keil RTX. I also get to control memory layout. Abstraction layers are terrible when you need to understand 100% of the code at all time

    I would accept this because it'll increase demand for SWEs and prevent us from losing our jobs.
