You are completely right. I just wanted to say that people fail even doing the right thing at a given moment, and they absolutely fail when the right thing is even changing.

The audience yes, but the author clearly seems to not understand it when they wrote this the first time. > I did a few tests in my terminal, and he was right! He clearly had no clue how base64 worked. You don’t need a test, if you know i

You can misconfigure your SaaS too. And it’s not that difficult to learn how to secure your system… you just need to want to learn it, which is rarely the case. The topic itself is not that difficult, you don’t need to know cryptography in

This whole topic makes me remember the argument for vi, and quick typing. I was always baffled because for the 25 years since I can code, typing was never that huge block of my time that it would matter. I have the same feeling with AI. It

I’ve never used such rambling channel, but I “ramble” quite a lot. For me, the chore is not ramblings, but scheduled meetings. On my dailies, no new information is created, and basically I just repeat things which are known already by inter

The same people with who I drink in pubs in other times. Which happens quite frequently because it’s completely legal where I live. Also almost everybody does it. So nothing extra compared to people who are drinking in pubs.

And nowadays a better known benchmark, so data scientists can overfit their models to it even more, even when LLMs are famous for overfitting. So, I wouldn’t trust any results regarding this specific test nowadays.

Btw, what’s the functionality which needs this half sleep state with running WiFi and Bluetooth? Laptops worked for decades without this, and I’ve never felt the need to change this. It caused headache for me too many times, and I don’t eve

It’s academic blabla, because as I stated it created a new vocabulary for no good reason. You can say the same thing without introducing it. You can say those things even better with examples. I told you that I don’t know clojure, I know Ha

That hormone is testosterone. And that means that no matter how much testosterone those people with Y chromosome(s) get, their body cannot use them. Hence, they have a disadvantage even in women sports. In theory. The problem is that for ex

No, the reason is legal. Everything, and I mean everything else is secondary. They can tell in court that they did everything what they could. Of course: - it’s a lie - not even a white lie, they know perfectly well, that they can do way mo

Average coders die with anything a little bit more complex. Adding an additional, unnecessary layer of problems won’t help with that to say the least.

I agree. Typescript is different for another reason too. They ignore edge cases many times, and because of that you can do really-really nice things with it (when it’s not broken). I wondered a lot of times why Java doesn’t include a few th

Maybe it depends on the task. I’m 100% sure, that if you think that type system is a drawback, then you have never code in a diverse, large codebase. Our 1.5 million LOC 30 years old monolith would be completely unmaintainable without it. B

Which timeline? You said that things stayed relatively the same between 2005 and 2015. Then that change was way more between 1995 and 2001, and 2017 and 2025. Then said that iPhone is in the timeline of between 1995 and 2001, or 2017 and 20

Give me examples. Also the way you use smartphone was used only by marketing people, and it was not widespread usage at all before iPhone, also the first “smartphone” by marketing people came before your timeline.

Smart phones? Mobile internet? Streaming? Steam? Almost none of these were used, or very-very few people in 2005, if they existed at all. The internet of 2005 was completely different than 2015. But heck even in real life. My home countr

What you can achieve with the standard SQL is taught on universities. The whole package. I’ve never met a developer, who struggled with that. When you use ORMs you need to follow SQL’s logic anyway. People use ORMs to avoid painful data con
