Because it is for ghost writers or to act as the ghost writer. What good is a text generating AI otherwise if you're not generating text to present as though it's your own? Even if the text is accurate, it's still ghost wri

You would be right if they didn't lobby against e.g. public transit. As it is right now, especially in the US, many people are forced by circumstance and lobbying to own and maintain a car, and usually it's an ICE car. Acting like

There are a few things you can do to help it. The Bevy project has a section of their setup documentation that lists a few strategies[0]. In general though it can be relatively pretty slow. [0]: https://bevyengine.org/learn&

I worked for a startup for a few years that near the end, started bleeding (and firing) employees while added six more C-levels. For a while, they stopped coming into the office because they were blowing company money on lunches and wooing

I got fed up with streaming years ago and have just been curating a small collection of physical media instead. Despite that, I still pirate digital copies because it's simply easier for actually viewing than ripping my own copies.

Why should all the other C-levels avoid jailtime for crimes committed by the corporation they're responsible for by just having a literal official patsy? That seems like such a blatant way to put C-levels above the law for real instead

> An employer in the US can’t change a salary at will either. Since when? Without a union or the ability to afford a lawyer, your compensation is entirely up to your employer's whim. Contracts are only useful if you can afford the t

Sure, but people reading these comments can't see inside your head, so being specific is worth the extra small effort, in my opinion. The primary content of my reply was the part about employment contracts.

This seems like such a needlessly kneejerk reaction just to speculate and rag unfairly on anything modern. Couldn't you have actually done some testing and research first?

Violation of contract terms on the employer's side is one way. Breach of contract is unlawful, but not criminal (mostly, so far as I know). Or, of course, they simply might not be in the US and live in a country that has strong labor

Also just saying a language's C++ interop is better simply because it's easier doesn't really pass the smell test for me. If I need to write some interop for a C++ library, I'm going to prefer one that's more reliab

The only thing I can think of is some bad actor that constantly tries CF websites to try and find a hole that can be exploited. Otherwise that does sound pretty fishy.

Companies that humanize their employees won't reduce them down to a single review that only cares about the previous year and not the sum of their work. And yet we've normalized the former for some reason.

Games are also frequently going to be some of the most complex software you'll ever install. Bugs are just inevitable no matter what you do, short of writing games in Haskell (maybe), which sounds like a nightmare to me. That said I&#x

Or pump and dump schemes that happen on exchanges, which are frequently done right out in the open without any euphemistic language at all. I'm not sure why we trust exchanges to not simply lie to the public.

Hoping you learned that this crow applies to libraries in general and not just this one library. They are way more than just books. Some of them even rent out small appliances and tools these days, as well as hosting classes.
