He may understand law well, but not code and AI. I didn't see the author address that licensed code could be spit out, in large unedited chunks, by Copilot. I would expect that to be brought up as well as discussion about how much co

I'd propose a different dichotomy: those that have good experience using and developing complex systems, and those that don't. The former are more likely to fit with your dichotomy, while the latter are more likely to do what&#x2

That raises a good point. We've had virtual worlds for ages now, but how often do companies do Minecraft meetings? Or Gary's Mod meetings? Or hell, even VR chat, that doesn't require VR. Is there really that much gained by

Agreed. With screen sharing, video, and audio, there's nothing more that is really needed for distributed people meeting together. Meeting in a 3d world seems like it would only benefit if you're discussing something that is 3d

I hadn't had any references checked, much less even requested in probably a decade... that is, until my current job. So some do still do it, but apparently not many.

Interesting, could it be plugins/extensions causing the issue? I've been using Roll20 with Firefox and with Edge for a while without any major issues.

I recently got a new kitten and we decided it'll be an indoor cat (though I'm harness training her so she can go out on walks). I've had several cats over the years die because they were allowed outside (one got hit by a car

> just try to change one major habit So by that logic, if there is free will I should be able to fly if I want to? We're still bound by the laws of reality, including our own brain chemistry. Our wills have to work in the confines

Back in college I bought the only car I could afford at the time, a '69 AMC Rambler station wagon painted pink with purple stripes on the hoods.. This was mid 90's in Atlanta and I got all kinds of positive comments about that car

Could it be that people who don't drink alcohol also largely don't smoke? Was that controlled for in this study?

Depends on the area. Wireless won't work well in the mountains, and I assume weather could affect some wireless technologies as well. I live in a mountainous area and we have a local ISP that provides fiber to our entire county. Whic

It's a very fuzzy distinction now, but for me I feel a software engineer is someone with enough experience and low-level knowledge to be able to understand and design complex systems, troubleshoot them, and have a good understanding of

Hah, for some reason I stood over one of these once and got a rocket in the eye. Fortunately I only got a few scratches... on my eyeball. I'm guessing it went off prematurely and wasn't near full pressure.

I think the meaning is that out of the 30 gigatons of CO2, 22 gigatons can be recaptured ("negative emissions").

I'm currently listening to brain.fm! I'm not sure how well it actually influences your brain to concentrate, but I find it's at least a decent semi-conscious reminder to stay focused. And it does also help drown out other no

I'm in a very similar situation, and I don't think it's the "hedonic treadmill" as others have suggested. I believe the key here is you saying "I dream about doing my own thing or retiring early to do other pr

I guess one could argue it isn't an outage since it only seems to have affected a subset of users. I got on a zoom call when this issue started and we had 3 of the 4 participants. Only one couldn't connect due to the issue. But I

It's confusing because using 100 works fine; both are seen as the same object. But using a number over 256 causes it to fail to see both as the same object. Of course, as an experienced dev, I would never use "is" for compa

I just finished a big project and those indeed were big spoilers. But also: 7. Difficulty in getting clearer specs when it's discovered the original specs are not detailed enough. 8. Decision makers at top (or middle?) having too much

Exactly. Plus if I want to find things to fix in my code, searching for TODO is much easier than searching for each of a dozen or so other strings.

This is like the paid search results that come up when you search for a specific company name. The company's site is just below those paid results, but often the same site is in the paid results but they are further up so are more lik

So it's just a search feature? This Plex feature is more than just search. It seems it also allows browsing and discovery.

I think it's a good prototyping tool, and also makes it easy to do smaller, temporary projects. For myself, I'd like to set up that motion-sensing camera feature to check when my dog sneaks down into the basement to pee. Or set

I was thinking about this recently and realized I haven't had to give references or have worked at a place that asked for them when hiring in at least a decade. I guess that practice is pretty much gone these days.
