You can do this in france. Tap once to open the hatch for the port, tap when you're done to pay for what you've used.

I'm sure it's domain dependent but for me I really don't, I write maybe one or two a year.

I don't really want to, which was kind of my point. I don't want to spend 5 days in the gym to lift a heavy box once a year, it just doesn't make sense.

I didn't realise we were being that pedantic about the phrasing. I had 3 months to evaluate a project, it took 1 month, I got asked to create a technical document for a migration in 2 weeks, it took 1 week. I wrote a prototype in a fra

I'm one of them. I've been coding for 22 years and now I use copilot all day every day. It gets stuff wrong, but I only ask it things I expect it to do well at, and I find it easy ignore or verify the bad answers. I've never

As someone who often forgets the syntax for a for loop in a language I've been using every day for 10 years, for some people the muscles were never there in the first place.

I dont think people (in this context) are suggesting replacing the junior developers with AI, but to treat the AI like a junior: to be clear with what you need, and to be defensive with what you accept back from them; to try and be consciou

I think it increases my productivity, but I'm also not really hitting limits with it, so it's hard to justify going from $20 to $200.

maybe it should be prepended with 'if you work in the mcdonalds of software development companies'

by kraftman 2y ago
It's worth bearing in mind that as much as we don't like it, a lot of the time the goal is passable slop. Mcdonalds is doing well, and they arent focussing on increasing the quality of their slop unless theres some public outcry.

That article is from almost a year ago though, wouldn't it be available by now if it was going to be?

A dedicated server with no bandwidth cap?

I saw your reddit comment, but I couldn't find the source for the TCL 65 inch? For me im tempted to go from 43" 4k to 55" 8k, my only concern is the edges being too far away unless its curved.

Maybe if you put what your working on at the top of the screen and only looked at that one thing it would be a problem, but realistically you use a bigger screen the same way you'd use a bigger desk: you dont put what you're worki

by kraftman 2y ago
Its not a problem until you want to watch a movie or play a game, then you have a black bar down the middle. Compared with the opposite or just having one screen to split as youd like virtually.

Yeah but are those valid reasons? Bandwidth is unlimited for most dedicated servers, and 190 GB for 7 years of data isn't a lot; it could fit on my phone 5 times.

That's really not been my experience when reviewing code. Bad code I've seen has been due to misusing language features, not knowing the principles in these articles, or misunderstanding the principles or blanket applying them to

Conversations like this are always difficult to discuss at a high level because the way we implement the words we use can be very different. Code can be written in a way that a lot of complexity is added in order to make it extensible, or i

I think it's because 90% of the garbage is being written by people that don't read or write articles like this one.

Could you give an example of your point? Isn't writing orthogonal code the same as writing code that's easy to delete?

Do you have ADHD? I read once that for normal people caffiene pushes dopamine levels too high, and stops them from sleeping, but for people with ADHD caffeine can push dopamine levels from too low to normal, calming them and helping with sl

> Also, I've personally seen more interest in AI in devs that have little interest in technology, but a big interest in delivering. PMs love them though. Is this a bad thing? Maybe I'm misunderstanding it, but even when I'

When I write a side project I'm not doing it because I enjoy coding, I'm doing it because I enjoy problem solving, and I've thought of a potential problem that I could solve with code, and I want to prototype that idea. I&#x2

Sure, but marketing and PR arent propoganda unless they are pushing a political cause or point of view right?

is that propoganda? whats the political view its pushing?

Really interesting, thank you!

Maybe a bit off topic, but large infrastructure projects have a tendancy to balloon in costs and either get cancelled or get completed well beyond their original budget. Given how long these projects take to develop, and how fast solar is d

what would be the goal of this specific propodanda?

by kraftman 2y ago
I assume that they are looking at in laymans terms, and saying that if an electromagnetic motor is 80% efficient, an electrostatic motor could increase efficiency of the remaining 20% by 30% to 100% (86-100% total efficiency). Not that it

it would probably be more effective than mildly frustrating a few commuters though?
