Absolutely - in general, the tendency to want to replace investing in UI/UX with omnipotent chatbots raises my blood pressure.

I wonder whether it's easier at small liberal arts colleges – my alma mater has a second-semester course teaching SML, Go, and PDP-11 assembler. The issue is that "CS 110" gets used by a lot of STEM students in other departme

One consequence: The World Factbook is often used in immigration applications as a "you won't get hassled" source of information about conflicts, involvement with the military, etc. (The same is true about State Department as

Sadly, they still got to her Signal on her Desktop – her sources might still be compromised. It's sadly inherent to desktop applications, but I'm sad that a lot more people don't know that Signal for Desktop is much, much les

Re: reboots – TFA states that recent iPhones reboot every 3 days when inactive for the same reasons. Of course, now that we know that it's linked to inactivity, black hatters will know how to avoid it...

At this point, I think that any good undergrad computer engineering education should include a class on practical security patterns, and design for security. Or, at the very least, training on when you need proactively call on a developer w

I'm a little sad, in this case, that ongoing integration via fine-tuning hasn't taken off (not that I have enoughe expertise to know why.) It would be nice, dammit, if I could give explicit guidance for new skills by day, and have

Par for the course: AI is automating all of the high-level thinking before the manual labor first, which is the biggest tragedy of it all. At this rate our score on the Kardashev scale will be lower than the proportion of humans doing low-l

You'd think that, given their mantra of "growth, growth, growth" they'd invest in research and development, but this government couldn't plan a new year's bash if they tried.

I'm in Oregon, and that's the case - about $30 extra. More people than you think don't have access to supplemental documentation required to meet extra requirements – people who don't have current travel documents, peopl

It's a smart move – while Codex has the same aspirations, limiting it to savvy power users will likely lead to better feedback, and less catastrophic misuse.

It depends if your application can deal with the capacitance. Anything above ~10-30 MHz is an exercise in futility.

OP isn't whining to you; I'm not sure where you're getting this defensiveness from. They're simply observing the state of their toolchain and, likely, have better things to do with their 24 hours in their day.

Ha, I guess that's the difference – I grew up eating porridge and congee. I usually find oatmeal done by my friends too gloopy.

It's not the most complete lens, but I've always also thought of it as "lots of servers advertising services through a centralized directory" (e.g. like NT's Object Manager). But, I don't think the Plan 9 team
