We don't collaborate, we iterate. I'm the lead of my department, so I sst the initial direction of the new feature, discuss it with my team, assign it, and let someone build the basic functionality. Then I'll review it, and I

None of that has ever, in 40 years of programming, been very important to me. Again, the only thing that really matters to me is the state of the code today , and the direction the code needs to go in. Where the code has been simply doesn&

Git commit messages are nothing to obsess about. If you're worrying about a "messy" git commit history, you're not moving forward, you're stuck in the past, and that indicates bigger problems. The only thing that re

Reading this reinforces that a lot of what makes up current "AI" is brute forcing and not actually intelligent or thoughtful. Although I suppose our meat-minds could also be brute-forcing everything throughout our entire lives, an

Maybe in a private school, but a public school should be considered public, making it perfectly legal to film in a classroom thanks to the first amendment.

This does nothing to ban cameras. The fact that a smartphone has a camera doesn't mean cameras are banned. You can still bring a standalone camera to school.

I don't agree with that at all. What protests are Democrats cracking down on? And don't try to go back to the 1960's to try to make a point.

Except it doesn't run MacOS, and it doesn't allow you to install any application you want to - only those that Apple allows you to. And you're still forced to use Safari in every browser you install.

It's insane that someone's livelihood depends upon the mercy of a "tin can" . This is only the beginning of fucking around and finding out how putting "AI" into everything will create all kinds of problems for

What happens when these "AI" companies start charging you what it really costs to run the "AI"? You'd very likely balk at it and have to learn SQL yourself. Enjoy it while it lasts, I guess?

Sorry, I'm not taking a comment like this from a 2-hour old account seriously. You don't know me at all.

Transistor size is not the only metric that matters in computer speed. Maybe you weren't around when 1MHz CPUs were considered fast. Then there were 8Mhz, then 16MHz, then 25MHz, and soon enough it was 250Mhz, then it jumped up to 1GHz

by leptons 1y ago
Moore's law has very little to do with the physical size of a single transistor. It postulates that the speed and capability of computers will double every few years. Miniaturization is one way to get that increase, but there are other

It is weird that AI is solving hard problems for you. I can't get it to do the most basic things consistently, most of the time it's just pure garbage. I'd never pay for "AI" because it wastes more of my time than i

Why do you think Apple blocks all web browsers from using their own browser engines and forces all browsers on iOS to use Safari? And no, the answers do not include "because privacy" or "because power usage". People sho

That's great for you, but squashing commits doesn't do anything for our team. It hides somewhat useful information, which never seemed like a good thing to me. Other teams at my company are obsessive about squashing, and I am glad

I manage a team of developers, and I don't think any of us squash commits, and I really don't care. It's been working fine for 8 years at this job. We keep our git use extremely simple, we don't spend much time even thin
