Yes, it was meant to add to your point about the stupid "can/can't tell" argument.

Another poster in this threads commented that their strategy was to question why anyone would take the photo that was presented. I think this touches on one of the most important issues with this whole schoolyard level argument of "I c

Almost every single meetup group in Northern Virginia was completely destroyed and did not grow back. I watched as dozens of local meetups, several running for many years, disappeared over night. I managed one as well and my crew held on to

Objects like this make me think of grimdark (steam|diesel)punk works like the video games Dishonored or BioShock. It feels like there's a touch of occultism or corruption whenever one creates a device that exploits analog side effects

It reminds me of The Menu and Nicholas Hoult's character.

It's really the navigations that make EF a problem. I've built a typed object graph database on top of Sqlite that works really well specifically because it's in Sqlite, so the overhead of the 1+N query problem with recursi

Incidentally, I'm seriously considering dropping EF. The ability to apply migrations is nice. I find the means of authoring them to be arcane and capricious. Not having to write every simple query is nice, but it gets really hard to

> The gap in capabilities between those models which they tested, and actual current frontier ones is enormous. Same story every 4 months and yet still no breakout, winning products. I've been hearing "the AI is good now"

I always laugh at the people talking about AI "democratizing" the arts and "eliminating gatekeeping" when punk and stream of consciousness aesthetic and several other completely open, completely non-virtuoso paths to the

Yes, I go to so many because my wife sells her novels at them. There's also the issue that there is limited space at craft fairs with wait lists for vendors. A dishonest vendor is holding a space a different vendor could have instead.

I go to a lot of craft fairs and I've been seeing people using AI to make their banners or book covers or detail designs on mugs and such. Here are people playing a "support local creators" line and they won't support th

There is a band called The Protomen who do rock operas about the Mega Man storyline. They have a very earnest, gritty sound. Every time I read a project README written by AI, I hear the voice over from the first track of the first album, Ac

Reminds me of the Shakespeare Programming Language ( https://esolangs.org/wiki/Shakespeare ). I absolutely love esolangs. I've written a fair few in my time, though never released any. Which is fine, they've al

That might be true of the raw, unknowable "true" value of the thing, but that's not the same as what people are willing to pay for a thing. When one evaluates a purchase, implicit in that evaluation is the option to do the wo

As someone with the last name "McBeth," I very quickly got any interest in theater verbally beaten out of me by this particular religion. There's always that one person in the production who takes it way too seriously, legi

Also, does that crab-bat thing have a large, green, erect penis very clearly visible? That was a... bit of a surprise.

There was a brief moment when smartphones first came out but the rest of the world's companies weren't taking them seriously yet that was a truly brilliant time and ever since then it's been nothing but downhill.

"Better" sounds like a proportional evaluation, e.g "5x better". How do you get "better" than Zero?

Quite frankly, CDNs are a scam. I will not elaborate because I don't feel like doing free labor for the folks who don't already understand this to their core.

"you're advocating for projects that have wildly different coding styles from file to file and function to function?" I'm advocating for giving up in style as a thing you delude yourself into thinking matters. The opposi

No, to repeat what I said, I think "consistency" to a programmer is like "fairness" to a child: it's not what you think it is and it probably doesn't apply to whatever situation it's being invoked.

I know very well how opinionated other developers are. I'm explicitly saying it's a waste of energy to be that picky about code style. There is an easy to define line: there is no line. It's not a boundary where "over he
