"It is a classic example of how saying something many times with enthusiasm can make it true, regardless of what the science says," Hobbs said. Welcome to the age of social media.

OK interesting. I'm not interested in AI stuff, but looks like they are lower power too which is what I want.

I talked to a local who was friends with ranchers who now lose stock to wolves. They hate it. Its an interesting use case of local control, is the greater good more important than the people who live there?

I'm waiting for this. I like low powered laptops as more of a terminal. I dont want the apple ecosystem, but I'm getting really tired of windows, high end chromebooks kinda disappeared, I have Linux servers at home. Do I have to w

It also reduces the enjoyment of a finished product. You used to write a story or report and be proud of the work. Now your neighbors have done the same with AI and feels like it isn't worth it.

OK then in his base class he has function pointers to different implementations. How can you compile a base class Shape with C++ in a library that will have derivations you dont know about?

Does anyone know what Chinese car quality is like? I guess there aren't any 15 year old Chinese EVs. Whenever someone says a Chinese product is exactly the same but half the price, it usually isn't the same quality.

I really dont understand his reasoning. If you have a pointer to the base class different implementations are polymorphic and its hidden from the caller. That is the whole point and it means you can have an engine with a base class in a lib

How many package managers can one language have? Its a simple language but setting it up is just incredibly bad. Maybe this is the one or should I wait for the next?

I get that point about everyone rolling their own replacement. I'm not sure its different though as its common to try to hack Spring just to try to get it to work.

Agreed, the dotcom boom was built on Java. Unfortunately it really backfired on Sun when everyone (who didn't die) figured WORA meant they didn't have to run on expensive Sun servers.

These "skilled engineering jobs" pay a fraction of what software engineers make - let alone the conditions. Little wonder no one wants to do them.

No one wants to pay for them. The $20 screwdriver is the same or better quality than the one 50 years ago. People would now have the option to buy the $1 screwdriver and then complain it doesn't last.

Java and the JVM are actually very good. The real problem to me is the Java-enterprise way of thinking which usually involves Spring IoC container with too much magic that makes it really difficult to understand. Get off Spring its a great

I dont need a backup system. I just need a standardized way to keep 25 years of photos for a family of 4 with their own phones, cameras, downloads, scans etc. I still haven't found anything good.

Not strictly related but I just bought a USB4 USB-C cable which is rated at 40 Gbps. I still can't really believe it. (I still remember saving to cassette tape)

I opinion is that the AI is the distilled average of all the code it can scrape. For the stuff I'm good at and work on every day it doesn't help much beyond some handy code completions. For stuff I'm below average at like bas

I'm sure I read somewhere that Maori fishermen used to eat small-mid sized fish and left the largest ones because they were the best breeders. I can't find a reference now but has logic.

You're missing the part where building a modern website is a huge amount of dev time for largely UI work. Also modern deployment is 100x more complicated than in Brook's day. I'd say 90% of my projects are on these two parts
