The data (re: the Flynn effect) suggests otherwise.

Strictly speaking, no such law exists. My understanding is that it’s a request from the secret service that all of the printer manufacturers have agreed to comply with for counterfeiting reasons.

People seem to have a good reasoning for your specific example, but they’re not addressing the question. I can think of a number of YouTubers that have longer schedules that have had success (Mark Rober, Cleo Abram, to name 2 but there’s cl

Hm. I’m a grown man and I post reels to all the platforms. I like the tech and enjoy trying to emulate a professional process with prosumer equipment and practices (filming, editing, color grading, sound design, etc.). After about 30 or so

I don’t know that it’s people trying to make a buck - and that seems a bit silly of a thing to say to begin with. I presume you try to make your buck doing whatever it is you do. What I will say is that it’s definitely a different form of e

I have it on good authority that the snozzberries taste like snozzberries.

I like this. I do something similar; I ask myself “Am I buying this for the knowledge inside it, or the experience of it?” I buy the latter. Be it a comic book, photography book, or something else. Those are artistic experiences for me.

Apologies for the caricature. It’s clearly up for debate, but I’ve always thought that imposing obligations for how people use the product/code, or implying obligations for what the project is “owed” by users, isn’t free as in freedom,

Meanwhile, it’s wild to me that you seem to think open source means “free for everyone… except them - they make too much money.”

The alternative is charging for the rental by the day but a huge proportion of your customers (who probably own a bmw) constantly complain that they’re being overcharged and they want a discount cause they don’t need the blinkers, and refus

I’ve written a lot of modern C# and I don’t know what you mean - especially with regards to your comment about F# being different. Are you taking about the popularity of the mediator pattern (via Mediatr)?

I’m sure a judge will agree with you.

There’s some YouTubers that regularly cover these if youre the type that enjoys watching it instead. Nick Chapsas is one I enjoy watching.

Amazon already had very high turnover before Covid. Many people don’t stick around (willingly or otherwise) after the year 2 hiring bonus cliff.

AWS does offer software development services.

Every attention thief is absolutely thrilled at the idea of tracking your eyes. Let’s all imagine the day where the YouTube free tier pauses ads when you’re not actively looking at them. Shit. I’m turning into one of those negative downers.

> …when they get to the point of only rarely making big dangerous mistakes. Are you intentionally rubbing FUD on that or am I mis-reading you? I don’t think we need to wait to rely on technologies until they’ve achieved perfection - ju

Oh don’t worry. Once dns-over-https becomes standard, you won’t be able to do any dns filtering anymore.

I don’t think we’re ready either but I also don’t see how you’d get ready without the pressing need to. That is to say: I think this was inevitable.

In AWS, AMIs are kept up to date and all you have to do is roll your instances inside an ASG (which is a 1 button thing) to have them updated with zero downtime. RDS takes backups, out of the box with zero configuration, and further customi

When people provision resources in the cloud in the same way they provision resources on-premises, they tend to massively over-provision.

I think you’ve confused a couple of things. Your db should be in a private subnet as opposed to a VPC, and it’s never advised to have public access directly to your db. You also don’t need NAT for RDS instances as they shouldn’t be initiati

I’m sorry, are you advocating to do k8s on-premise as opposed to cloud? Or are you straw-manning “cloud architecture” by assuming that k8s is somehow some cloud requirement vs a single box you paid for yourself in a colo? You can spin up a

That’s ptetty close to what GPTs are, with the exception of knowledge bases. There’s more to it, but the tooling to create a GPT is basically a hand-holding mechanism to create a prompt.

Who reviews and tests the code? And how do they build the knowledge and skill needed to review and test without being practiced?

There’s a psychological safety in knowing that something is yours and it can’t be taken away; that you’re not beholden to someone else for it. I think the proliferation of subscriptions in modern life has contributed to quite a bit of anxie

If picture quality matters to you (no judgement, at all, if it doesn’t) then OLED is a non-trivial step up in image quality. I get it though: for 90% of the stuff I watch, I couldn’t care less about the quality. Much if it is on a small scr
