On another post I've already argued that Romans already had a proverb "Scribere bis legere." Translated, this means "writing is reading twice". In practice, what this means is that you have to know how to reproduce

I think there was another comment among these that said it best: "graphics designers". The main conflict seems to arise between usability (UX) and the "view". It may look pretty but if it's unusable it's a show

Presumably now we also have exploits written by AI, so I guess security has to be one-upped now? Not that I expect companies to be more proactive now. I have been disillusioned of that long ago. With AI they could be at least a little bit m

Everybody knew somebody should do it, but nobody did it. Classic.

There's an old Latin proverb "Scribere bis legere", which translates to "writing is reading twice". In practice, what this means is that you can read some subject many times, but you would still struggle to reproduc

I once saw a pop-up in a game saying something along the lines of: wow, it's 10 years later and this game is still being played! Made me laugh out loud, nice little easter egg. Sadly, I don't recall which game it was. Maybe SpaceC

Sorry? I don't get it. Why are you mentioning NYC? Was it a joke?

Sorry, what? Food is much more expensive, like 30% here in Europe, much faster growth than inflation. And before you state that food is accounted for in inflation: economists are doing some dirty tricks here by finding subpar replacements.

Well, speaking from what I hear and see, employers want you to start using it so that you can be more productive. They've been sold this tool and want you to learn it so that your output will grow. That's not an unfair take, I thi

I've seen that too, though I have to say that none of those were as waterfally as the actual waterfall process we used to follow. Back then it was quite literally 0 lines of code until spec (100s of pages) is complete.

TFA first claims that agile invented none of the things it encompasses, seems not to challenge those claims, but then just jumps to agile is dead because LLMs can code based on spec. This is just a confusing and confused article. Agile just

by prerok 6mo ago
Agile never claimed that. Agile is about working code instead of hundreds of pages of spec nobody reads.

Ok, so what do you think these wars are about?

by prerok 6mo ago
Emm, what? You are aware of all the wars going on right now?

...and they are going to use LLMs to generate their reviews ;)

There are already more games being released daily than is possible to curate and select what you want to play. Though I agree with you that what you describe will likely happen, I think that is not the future I will enjoy.

Geez, this brings back memories. At one time at our university we had table desktop dancers installed everywhere. Was kind of funny when it turned up just as a student wanted to defend their work in a lab.

Yeah, same. I also felt like this when watching Office Space and Sillicon Valley. Hits too close to home. I know that through comedy you are supposed to get a sense of catharsis and a sort of relief, but to me it was just frustratingly sad.

Really? That seems strange, at least to me. While HTTP can be considered as a transport layer for RPCs between microservices, it seems to me to be a very inefficient and bug-prone solution. Can you describe a set up where you used HTTP betw

There's a long queue up that mountain, though.

In my country, it would certainly be odd, so it would raise questions. Would not be a showstopper, though we would definitely carefully consider hiring.

I am pretty sure they were being sarcastic.

Ah, that was it then. The person in question was probably filing for that instead of trying to get another H1B. Thank you for clarifying!

Sorry what? Yes, they do. Second-hand knowledge, though.

There are two cases: I am uninstalling because I never want to use the app, or I am uninstalling because I know I currently don't need the app and will reinstall after 6 months when I do. An example of first is a trial of an app but yo

So... it's actually a reasonable objection over bzip2? I mean, you explained why it does not work with bzip2. I think their argument is sound and it makes using bzip2 less useful in certain situations. I was once saved in resolving a p

Indeed, they are two separate concepts. I write lots of automated tests, but almost always after the development is finished. The only exception is when reproducing a bug, where I first write the test that reproduces it, then I fix the code

I don't agree with this. In my view, there are plenty of cases where the product changes are shoved down our throats. I think the problem is that the product folks don't actually listen to the market. They read Jobs' biograph
