Yeah, I'm definitely not clear on what you're trying to mean. How about you actually state your point rather than vaguely alluding to something?

To the best of my knowledge zero of the people passionate about programming that I know have spent a meaningful portion of their career at non-tech companies. Internships or first jobs out of college are common, but the passionate people en

What does EEE even mean in the context of a proprietary service that Microsoft owns? That is a strategy for killing open standards, which Github never was. It could be a thing for git itself, but Microsoft doesn't even have a git compe

Yes? My main experience with menus with pictures is Chinese restaurants where they took a poorly staged and lit photo of the actual dish. Sometimes the real thing ends up looking better than the picture.

If you're in a room with a TV then literally yes, there's a good chance there's an abusive bot in the room.

I think the prison looks better from the outside, but if you asked me which building I wanted to spend time in I'd pick the school without hesitation (assuming they were both being repurposed for the same non-school/prison use).

I don't think a single building in those postcards is beautiful. Most of them are incredibly forgettable run down old buildings.

Poorly. How fucked up it was that we expected people to be on a plane out of the country the day they were fired was a recurring discussion. In practice no one actually did and there was a de facto grace period, but what people got away wit

Yes, 27 is the final Rosetta version. The warnings are worded in a way that makes sense if you already know that but are easy to misunderstand if you don’t. I think they initially didn’t want to commit to the next version being called macOS

Starcraft 64 is infamously terrible and is evidence that RTS games don't work on consoles.

Having your seed round funded by YC is what being a "YC company" means. That is exactly what people are referring to every time they say that phrase.

Sometimes you actually are holding it wrong. It's pretty reasonable to think that Fable isn't worth the massive increase in cost, but if you think it outright doesn't have any benefits over Opus 4.8 then your workflow is prob

I have no idea what you could consider a spoiler for a three minute trailer that's nothing but vibes.

The unfortunate part is that he became someone you’re happy to see out. I think he’s absolutely become a net negative for Wordpress, but that wasn’t always the case.

"Make the Add to Cart button blue" is fine as a first step. When that doesn't have the desired result, I would simply revert the change, start a new session, and do something like "Give the Add to Cart button its own the

Yeah, if this is how people interact with claude I’m not surprised they’re having a bad time in ways that I don’t. Asking it why it did something or getting combative is a waste of time.

It's almost like it's not a Spanish word. It was coined by native English speakers to describe themselves . It also happens to be a terrible English word, but the fact that it doesn't work in a different language's gram

WoW is now on wiki number three after the company hosting the second one was also bought by fandom. The original rotting corpse is now over a decade out of date and still often ranks highest.

If you want to ship a prebuilt binary that'll run on any linux distro you need to statically link libc and musl is by far the easiest way to do that.

In the time since that VC++ has switched to a frozen ABI model that’s much closer to what Linux distros have. Each version of VC++ being ABI-incompatible and requiring each application to be built with a single version and ship its c++ runt

EA has a few branches of thought. One of them is "I am going to donate $X to charity each year. How do I maximize the good this brings to the world?" This group is sometimes less effective than they'd like to think, but there

You should be committing things that are broken all the time. Git works great as a persistent navigatible undo buffer, and you should commit every time you're in a state that you might want to return to.

To strain the metaphor, there's no trees! Yudkowsky predicted that there'd be a forest but it's actually grassland and you're saying that he's right because there's plants. AI has not developed in even slightly

He made specific predictions about what problems AI would cause, not just a vague "AI will be dangerous". Those specific predictions were entirely incorrect; they both said that things would happen that didn't, and failed to

No, my calculus class in HS very literally started with finding the area under a curve “manually” and introduced integration as a generalization of that. I’m not surprised to hear that calculus is sometimes taught very poorly, but it’s not
