   This is more evident in games/simulations but the same problem arises more or less in any software: batch jobs and DAGs, distributed systems and transactions, etc. This what Rich Hickey (Clojure author) has termed “place oriented progr

    “Concerned” is an understatement. USA is already operating at nazi Germany levels and more than half of the civil society is approving. Not that it’s a surprise for global spectators though - it’s finally showing it’s true colors.

    That's reinforcing the author's point: the classic game already existed, users just wanted the same game with some maintenance updates - not a new game with new features. In this case it was the producers (not the users) that were

    I know the first reaction reading this will be "whatever, the person was already mentally ill". But please take a step back and check what % of the population can be considered mentally fit, and the potential damage amplification

    There are two ways to look at it: - Software engineering is a cost center, they are middlemen between the C-level ideas and a finished product. - Software engineering is about figuring out how to automate a problem, exploring the domain, de

    People are overestimating the value on having AI create something given loose instructions, and underestimating the value of using AI as a tool for a human to learn and explore a problem space. The bias shows on the terminology (“agents”).

    I believe this all stems from primordial SQL focusing on storage efficiency, and now it’s kinda hard to retrofit better data modeling ideas without better affordances. If I started from scratch, I would get rid of UPDATE and DELETE (these w
