No offense mate but if your only experience so far is having an 8 month old, you don't get to have an opinion on this topic yet.

What I do is I don't ask it to generate results, but to give me a program that does the processing, then have it give me a test suite where I can 'trivially' (usually) verify the program on synthetic data (which, of course, I

"rent seekers" You've used this term several times in this thread, but it does not mean what you seem to think it means.

What? No, that's not what I'm talking about at all. What I'm talking about is sensible healthcare provisioning, under the honest observation that just because some medical intervention is technically possible, it's neces

I've been using it that way for weeks, but it doesn't work as one would imagine it does. It's great for the higher level drudgery (typing in boilerplate of loops, imports/includes, data type definitions and so on), and f

I just tried a few, but no difference. One problem is that I can't see how far I'm zoomed in or out, and opening another file doesn't seem to reset the camera. So maybe there is something outside of the view that I can't

Oof I'm back already, this is quite rough. No editor included I see, that tripped me up for a second but it's IMO better than wasting your time on including one, once I got that it was fine. I tried to enter the smallest program I

This looks awesome. If the 'fillet' works, that'd be enough for me to switch from OpenSCAD. Although to be honest, having a utility library like BOSL would be necessary too, or at least some way to make threads. I'm goin

Interestingly, here's what I get when I feed it your exact question: In C++, what happens when you call pop_back() on an empty vector? When you call pop_back() on an empty vector in C++, an std::out_of_range exception is thr

Maybe. To be fair, I had the same opinion yesterday. This morning I decided to take a real look at how I could use chatgpt to augment my programming, and once I started with it with an open mind, I now think it's going to take away muc

Meta: when you ask chatgpt what happens when you do pop_back() on an empty vector, it confidently claims std::out_of_range will be thrown. It will even 'cite' the standard with a plausible explanation of what will happen (essentia

It largely didn't, despite the huge media outcry here that tries to make it seem as if children were taken away because their parents committed fraud. It's simply that there is large covariance between people being poor (and&#x2

Yeah this. SEPA (e.g. what is known in the Netherlands as Ideal) is easier than entering cc numbers. Unlock phone, open app, scan qr code, enter pin on phone, click OK. Much nicer and faster than entering 16 + 3 numbers, and don't even

Right, it's still a deposit, and not a surcharge. The whole point is that you don't throw it away. That's exactly what makes a 'surcharge' into a 'deposit'.

You get the money back, so it's a deposit, not a surcharge.

Yeah I found that part a bit opaque as well. What about alignment? Does it just use 4 byte integers but one bit is unused? Isn't that a much more clear way of putting it?

Yeah I should probably look into it more. Can Comodo's firewall be used standalone, i.e. without its antivirus? What I needed from Glasswire was click-to-allow on each network access, I couldn't find that in any product I tried a

Not much. A lot of this sort of functionality is offloaded onto opaquely named services. So now you have decide if some access should or should not be allowed; but with very little information as to what process will in the end use that acc

I think you're vastly overestimating the sophistication of the average (and even above-average) plugin (eco)system. Most are just DLL's that call some predefined functions. Besides - network access is one of the most basic functio

It doesn't pretend to be a capital gains tax at all. It's a tax on income from assets, which is in practice more or less a 'wealth tax' which is also why it's called the Dutch word for 'wealth tax' in the
