If you're a contributor to Python, my apologies.

I feel that this excuse is being trotted out too much. Most engineers never get to choose the programming language used for 90% of their professional projects. And when Python is a mainstream language on top of which large, globally known w

I imagine location matters even more? A well placed restaurant with adequate food probably does good business, still?

Backwards compatibility, every vim and emacs and bash enthusiast should know about it. It's easy for the USER to fix, since there are flags available. In the day of LLMs it's also easy to find out about those flags and what they d

Are people being intentionally dense here? We're talking orders of magnitude difference here. Widespread, worldwide transition to ultra processed foods, synthetic emulsifiers, synthetic flavors, etc (the ENNNs), supermarket chock full

LOL @ the downvotes. I'm sure that's why Americans are so healthy, with huge supermarkets stocked to the brim with food so ultraprocessed that there are things that pretend to be called "cheese" but can't be sold as

That's a very shallow argument.

Is that comment trying to be intentionally dense? They're talking about E123 & co, synthetic ones.

The dose makes the poison. People weren't doing that at a mass scale before people figured out they could make money by increasing addictiveness, once technology was good enough.

How good is Mac virtualization? Would it be doable to put an Ubuntu inside a VM and just run it full screen all the time?

The beating will continue until morale improves. On a more serious note, at this rate, probably 10 years. I guess it's similar to drinking. You can get drunk in 10 minutes and be hung over for much longer than that. It turns out that o

> Agile itself is predicated on software being difficult to ship/expensive. Software is still "difficult to ship/expensive". Code is very cheap now. Any kind of non-slop software is still expensive.

The thing is, so far you've probably done a bunch of work on the 80%. Now you need to do the remaining 80% to finish the project, launch it, create a stable customer base. If you're only vibe coding, it's going to be an inter

How can you possibly call boiled and baked food and wanting to eat a varied diet unhealthy?!? Did you actually read the 2 paragraphs you quoted?

That's not realistic for most people. There is a range of food processing going from raw vegetables to hyper-processed fast food. Most people fall in the middle and expect their food to be boiled, baked, fried, etc. They will most like

Nobody needs to maintain the average painting. The average painting doesn't have security vulnerabilities. This is like democratizing house building.

LOL, you sound like people "democratizing" finance with crypto. I'm sure that's why they're investing 1 trillion in AI, for the poor illiterates.

LLMs can easily output overwhelming quantities of code. Junior devs couldn't really do that, not consistently. Scale/quantity matter. This industry is not mature enough for 1000x the bad code we have now. It was barely hanging on

Look at all the comments under your original comment. Their point is very valid. Geologic scales are extremely long and the planet does not care. Humans, on the other hand would physically not be able to survive in most climates going back
