My immediate thought was: get an esp32 with an eink display and regenerate the code every ten minutes, but of course we've left the extremely easy realm quickly. But I agree I wouldn't want a static QR code linked to anything that

My guess is metformin is here because of its effects on blood sugar. It is available as a prescription drug for this purpose.

As someone who's worked mostly remote for going on 15 years now, there will evolve a hybrid approach. There's too much value to the individual in remote work for it to go away and there's too much value to the team to have

Well seriously what profession is immune? Robotics took a lot of manufacturing and farming away in the 80s and 90s, AI added to that will kill off swaths of designers. Most of this country checks out their own groceries and AI has started s

People have been paid to generate noise for a decade+ now. Garbage in, garbage out will always be true. Next token-seeking is a solved problem. Novel thinking can be solved by humans and possibly by AI soon, but adding more garbage to the d

Yeah, the multi-lingual stuff isn't what I'm talking about. I'm referring to countries where English is spoken enough by this generation that it may just leak into a first language for their children or grandchildren.

Yeah, that editorializing really stood out to me as though they were just hunting for some criticism.

If you've been watching logs the past few years, you know that LLM data scrapers care less about robot directives than the scummiest of scraper bots of yore. Your choices are: 1) give up 2) spend your days trying to detect and block ag

Think so? At some point you'd assume the other parent would be pushing for the payments through some avenue that would lead them to tell her that he's dead.

Wouldn't generics in the validateAndMassageMyLovelyStruct() function avoid this kind of workaround?

That makes sense. > I'm not really a hardware person Neither am I, most of the fun is in the software anyway. The rest is just some amateurish solder work and compiling an array of components I may or may not use.

Do you do anything with hardware/microcontrollers? I dabble in the daisy/rasbpi world for synthesis and effects, but have always just used off-the-shelf reverb in the chain and things like teensy audio are fine but not especially

TDD and using unit tests are not the same thing, though. I'm very much a TDD sceptic, but believe unit tests have a place.

Sorry, are you saying unit testing is dumb? Not that you'd be the first to say such a thing, but I've never really understood this if people find them valuable. 100% test coverage is one thing, but having some interdependent funct

Write everything (generally, new features) twice has turned out to be really good strategy for me, but it doesn't sit well with bizdev or project managers and tends to be perceived as unnecessary slowness. But if you plow through a fea

Given general css support is not complete, would you really want a screenshot of something that might look radically different on a commonly used browser?
