that's not really the same thing, what you are describing is redundancy so failure in one (or more) place doesn't bring the system down. Backups are about preventing data loss. Data loss can happen in many different ways, not ju

Not really, you only need to know you can get at it. One day you might be doing something like processing images or video and you are finding it slow and getting down to this level can be helpful. But it wouldn't necessarily be the

kernels aren't meant to be written by any defined language. C is just a traditionally good default language that took over from assembly. No particular reason we have to stick with C.

not sure what you are trying to say, you don't have to in windows either, it just works, it sorts itself out. Doesn't seem like it has anything to do with "easier to use". Easier to use is like your day to day experie

This is where we landed too. It works remarkably well. AI guidance is really the crucial thing here. I know a lot of people don't like this, think it's really bad, think it just results in slop... but it doesn't or at lea

Everyone loves to bag on Microsoft, but they are generally quite good at keeping their software patched, they do get it wrong from time to time and everyone jumps on them. I've jumped to Linux as my main OS a while back (though still

This is exactly the decision we have made (though we didn't start with native). It just makes a lot more sense to make native apps and customize to take advantage of different native capabilities. AI essentially makes this a lot eas

I used to use tailwind a lot, but AI has made it redundant largely. There's zero reason to add any library into your stack unless it has significant advantages, tailwinds advantage was largely a developer convenience, and that's

there's a book I read "The Practice Effect" such that technology becomes super advanced based on using something, it gets better and better, but the people regress and become more like a medieval society as they just care tha

Azures brutal in terms of UX. One of the best things about AI is that it has made dealing with Azure a heck of a lot easier.

depends on the games, I've actually done a bunch of clones of android games I like to play but get annoyed by the ads, I don't release them at all because nearly anyone can make them now, but I get to customize them how I like :)

I think it's roughly possible for any piece of software. I think the problem would be how long it would take to polish it afterwards. I think it would be an interesting experiment to run an AI only open source project though. Not s

seems like you understood the general purpose of the equation... no need to over analyze it. Roughly does all the work it needs to.

down voting this is silly, just shows how badly people are buying into this. It is misguided. On the other side of things I guess it's good not everyone is working out how to be super productive with AI.

I disagree strongly. Nearly every time this comes up it seems people are not doing a good job giving their AI context. My AI environment is REALLY context aware based on a whole bunch of things I have access to that others don't. Wh

Seems like our metabase instance got hacked by this. They got some credentials that are mostly useless outside of our network environment, but we pretty quickly rotated everything. Getting claude to do forensics on the attack was really

Not sure how others are using AI, but for us, an AI dump is actually much better than some human editing/writing it. What we've found is that people become gatekeepers of context due to their role in the company they have privil

to your actual question, no, it really doesn't make sense. The problem is you are saying it is down consistently.... and it's not. You can switch if you want, but from my observations, it's not really that often, and those

In my experience C# works out pretty good. I wrote a project in Go, it mostly went well, but it had weird bugs and the AI struggled to solve them. Rewriting in C# seemed a lot more robust. I use it a lot these days and I find the AI rare

we just locked down quick and strict, we then were one of the only places you could go about life relatively normally without too much worry while the rest of the world went through comparatively ineffective lock downs and rrestrictions.

I hate working with Atlassian, years and years ago moved to youtrack instead of Jira mainly because it handles teams who work on multiple projects way better. But confluence remains, just need to spend some time re-evaluating other wikis (

Fun! Asking the "singularity" capable AI to fact check him on his claims, it calls BS on his claims.
