I've noticed this with lots of jazz from the 50s and 60s. Sounds amazing in mono but "lacking" in stereo.

It's so bad. Auto generated content was a problem before for sure, but it's overwhelming now. It's not so much the content being AI-generated that's the problem for me (though its quality is definitely a notch or two bel

So many ways to juice those numbers though. And if your team is far from the money, what often matters much much more is how much political capital your skip level manager has and to what extent it can be deployed when the company needs to

Why should anyone do that in a world where fundamentals don't make sense? Yes, knowing how the company makes money is important (though that often is incomplete or unclear from what's publicly available), but knowing their 10-K or

If companies are going back to physical onsites but are using remote interviewers, then maybe it makes more sense to have interview centers. They'd be like testing centers --- device lockers, multiple cameras, nearby proctor, shitty de

People always "hated" dating apps, even when I used them back in the early 2010s. However, like the iOS keyboard, people will put up with some annoyances if the overall product is valuable, and swiping for a mate (or, back in simp

I'm guessing this is why they are mandating that submitted position or review papers get published in a journal first.

This was an incredibly interesting read and, combined with the other poster's response above, completely answered my question. Thank you so much for typing this out. What a completely different world this must have been. (I started my

Firefox got AI-pilled in the most recent release. Fortunately you can turn it off with a key-value setting in about:config, but it's definitely there.

OpenTofu is a "best of a bad situation" kind of thing. The project was originally called OpenTF, which makes sense since Terraform config code almost always ends in `.tf`, but HashiCorp sent out the lawyers, so they had to change

It would be cool if The Linux Foundation had a fund to support open-source devs with stuff, like a stipend or hosting costs, kind of like what exists in the hospitality space. I know that this sort-of exists, but it feels distributed amongs
