What even is an "AI chip"? What's the difference to a GPU? As long as nobody can explain that I have big doubts that it whould be more than a GPU+marketing. So no big deal if they don't provide one.

`git amend` and `git rebase -i` are two core features of git. It's okay if especially interactive rebasing takes some time to get used to. But it should certainly be part of every users standard tool set.

Just learn all ten and be done with it. You wouldn't work in a factory with professional tools without learning to use the tools either. So why not just learn this professional version control system in and out. It's not that hard

But you could also review the commit before pushing and then modify it instead.

Sorry, but it seems like you've worked in very low skilled teams. There are sometimes two different solutions to a problem, but they come with different pros and cons and you need to decide which to choose based on balancing reasons, n

I see this so often with power user tools. All power user tools are tools that you can only use reasonably well with some basic understanding. They are made not to be understood in the easiest fashion but to handle all complexities of a pro

I don't know why this is discussed on reddit and not in court, tbh.

scuttlebutt would be great if it wouldn't force this SJW and off-the-grid thinking on everything there. Technologically I also like it a lot.

Is it still possible to "find your people online", though? Maybe I've missed a few steps by now but I don't feel there's any place online that I would still call "my people". The old places where we met wh

Why is it even a concern? It is the most natural thing in the world that if you live in country x, you were born there, your family lives there, they speak your language and have your culture, that when it gets more serious you will support

Yeah and don't use vim for code editing. It's too much work to learn, right? Rather use nano. </sarcasm>

People also shouldn't use the razor for cutting grass. It's sadly true that you need to learn how to use your tools and every tool needs some learning to use efficiently. That's the nature of things. I do agree though that fi

I seriously would have never thought that anybody would really consider using spaces in filenames. For me it's a sign to not work in such an environment, which might be the reason I rarely even see it. But sure if you want a script tha

For many things shell scripts are the easiest and most expressive way to write them. And probably you don't know that human resources are more expensive than cpu cycles. Sure, I love python, but if I want to find and filter some files

The best thing creators should do in my eyes, and I always do it myself, is trying to make yourself jobless. Solve that problem, find people who are good at maintaining stuff, move on to the next problem. You don't need to sit there lo

If you "discover" something so simple, don't see people using it already, and don't see most(!) people getting totally excited after learning to know about it, then you know it's some kind of scam. It's not cle

Is it nihilistic to say "you can't have objective media"? I don't think so. "Objective" is an illusion. It doesn't exist. A computer log maybe is objective. But the moment an admin looks at it and decides

I don't really get this "have the old media survive" stuff. Media always need resources to get produced, no matter which format. So they are never independent. Whoever provides these resources has the power. But that's n

> The reason that software is online is a business one, not a technical one. That's only partly true. Software gets more and more developed for the big corps in mind as the sole users. So web browsers are developed to make Google an

If you are a good developer, you are probably smart, right? So why would a smart person let something happen to him that he can't fix? Would it be possible for a dev manager to apply as senior dev in another company? I think they are n

One part that I would like to discuss is how people as individuals rarely would act badly in such situations, but companies almost always act that way. Now I don't know the answer, but I believe this question is part of the core of the

Yep, KGS was also where I learned to play. The other website is called OGS, probably in the same naming tradition.

That's great news. I'm personally more a Python fan, but I see all around me how good, stable enterprise problems are solved by Java coders. Last Java version I used was still pre-Oracle, so I can't say if they did a good job
