The comment is a result of the slime mold, so writing "opinions are my own" seems unnecessary :P

People will disagree with me here, and at the end of the day I might just be getting hung up on semantics. But I don't think that the processes that come with sprints and agile are what change it from being "just programming"

That's true if your only goal is to generate truthful text. But if you're trying to generate useful text, continuing the sentence is necessary. Maybe that'll be the next step once LLMs get very good at generating truthful

I ride my bike slowly around my local neighbourhood, often on shared paths with pedestrians. This is usually under 20 km/h, probably under 15, or even less when it’s busy. For rides where I go faster, I will take my road bike and wear

I’m surprised at all the comments comparing this to motorcycle helmets. To me, the big difference with a bicycle and a motorcycle is that I can run as fast or faster than I ride by bicycle around my local neighbourhood. If someone asked me

The GDPR does care about different “purposes”, it’s not just about the person/company relationship. I’m not a lawyer but my interpretation of this is that consent for Google to use location data for maps doesn’t allow them to use that

Sorry, but I do think this is unfair. There are a lot of people out there who love the way engines sound, and the increased engagement that a manual transmission brings to the driving experience. They aren't all "folks who have to

The global economy is not a zero sum game, and globalisation worked well for the USA as a whole. Americans just didn’t share that newfound wealth with the lower classes as well as India did.

The plugin architectures that I've seen require plugins to be written in the same language as the IDE. For example, Eclipse plugins need to be written in Java. Language servers run in a separate process to the editor, and they communic

I'm hearing it a lot less after the recent tech backlash, but a few years ago it was fashionable to say things like "take risks" and "embrace failure". But the cautionary tale that most companies are going to take f

It's not quite the same as "guest mode" on ChromeOS, but I make user accounts (no sudo) for non-technical family members and let them use my machines unsupervised. What are you worried about here? Should I be worried?

I was wondering the same thing, especially since the x-axis (time) goes all the way back to the year 1800. The oldest surviving photograph is from 1826 according to Wikipedia.

That’s not a trick, that’s just good driving. Turning the wheel while stationary is called dry steering and is not good for the power steering system, the tires, or even the road surface.

I’m very much not a libertarian, but I do wish that cities wouldn’t take such an absolute anti high rise stance. Every high rise city has low rise neighbourhoods, but low rise cities don’t have high rise neighbourhoods. So it’s a choice bet

There are many cases where it does. For example if you say "Australia" in an Australian accent, Japanese people probably wouldn't understand. So you'd have to use the "correct" Japanese pronunciation: "oh-

Non-vegetarian here. I'd take a fake meat hotdog than a real meat ballpark hot dog any day. The best of the fake meats has already surpassed the worst of the real meats, and the overlap is growing quickly.

> Australia spent millions on a contract tracing app that ended up not providing any value at all. Who cares? Australia spends more than that amount on COVID tests every few days (possibly every day, actually). It’s a drop in the ocean.
