If the entire article is based on "This guy told me this off the record" then what do we have to go by other than the authority of the source? "Article quality" is completely based on verifiability of evidence here. I ac

If some typical write pattern from a typical app is wearing out the SSD really fast, I'd say that's the SSD firmware engineer's problem? And I think they've actually done a great job in general, judging by the typical li

I don't understand what "confusion rate" metric was in the article. Also don't see any comparison with original high-res image so that we can see how true to life the generated images look?

As someone who has never heard of this before, I have a question. Why would anyone want it? For me as a dev, modern windows' greatest thing today is WSL. Why would you want to muddle around in the windows app ecosystem at all? WSL2 wit

Exactly. Integrating external libraries into another system is much harder than leveraging e.g. a RESTAPI. The OP seems to be saying that Service oriented architecture (SOA) is worse. It's definitely not. There's no "better&

Yeah I don't see how this is anything except a correlation, and the article is so sparse on analysis and data that it seems more misleading than informative. I've read before that exercising your mental capacity can also have a p

I've heard about cypress and testcafe both being better alternatives to selenium, but then when I looked into it they both seem pretty similar to selenium. Is there some killer feature making cypress better? Has anyone tried all three

It's not necessarily easy to install "stock python". e.g. installing python 3.7 or newer on ubuntu requires quite a bit of initial setup. You'll be required to install a ton of apt system dependencies, then add a custom

If your dockerfile is using something like pip install commands, but doesn't pin all versions, you'll still run into stuff like this.

I think it's often impossible to distinguish whether something is good on amazon. For many products there are often 100 chinese clones with fake brand names and suspect reviews. I only use amazon now when I need something specific and

I don't think its specific to tech. It's cultural. For instance, I think the oil/gas industry is even more alcohol soaked. For what it's worth, I work for a large tech company and have never felt like I had to drink to b

It's a good story, but the whole premise seems to be based on a couple of anonymous reddit comments..

Social media blurs the lines and it makes it hard for anyone to understand reality versus fiction. It was probably the same when mass communication took off in the first place, but it's happening again. Any particular change in languag

I would ask the same question. Is there evidence that somehow the majority has forgotten the original meaning but the minority hasn't? Do you have any evidence of that? I'm sure if you study this type of thing as a hobby you could
