It seems they mean grocery store, rather than supermarket. Also take into account that in the Netherlands it's more common to go grocery shopping daily or every few days.

Firefox had a big upgrade around that time that massively improved performance (because indeed, it was clearly slower than Chrome.)

In my case, it would take about 45 hours to run on a single machine. Our distributed testing infrastructure gets it done in about 2. But there's a limited amount of machines, so you usually have to add 2 more hours queuing to that.

Soon, your compiler will interact with LLMs to fix the mistake automatically. In fact, maybe the LLM becomes the compiler.

Can't they just remove the company Zoom app from their phone and be happy all the time? Or are there places where you are expected to monitor that stuff 24/7?

It always bugs me in CSS and HTML that "auto" does not equal "default"

That's what they did with Tay, and that was taken offline not even 24 hours after its launch.

Good news, you can nowadays transform JSON using XSLT, even in the browser.

While that's true, I wonder how many websites really benefit from smart diffing algorithms instead of just directly updating the dom.

Is this really different from disabling JavaScript, which will also break the majority of sites?

It even had a counter that was continuously incrementing (at the end by an incredibly low rate, but still)

Nowadays you have the same type of tools, only for YAML. Not sure if that's so much better.

Yes, this is the next step I'm looking forward to, and what would probably make LLMs really take off. Let me dump my own knowledge base or source code into ChatGPT and have it use that as its source of knowledge. I can only imagine the

This reads like a perfect description of the place I work - only difference is that we're using Smalltalk instead of Delphi. We are gradually trying to move to the web, but the reality is that the complexity of the web makes it a lot h

But paradoxically, OpenAI can't let StackOverflow disappear, because in the end I suppose it's one of ChatGPT's main sources for programming content.

I thought my new laptop was broken when I noticed this. Certainly this could not have been done intentional. I would close my laptop at night and come back the next morning to find out my battery was dead (and quite hot). Did some Googling

In-house tooling requires a dedicated team, not just developers but also analysts, testers, etc. Often a company inside the company. If the software needs to change due to industry changes or regulations or something like that, it will prob

At that point you also won't know how text encoding works, or why integers only store numbers up to a certain limit, which are problems that you encounter in high level software as well.

Probably that, and the average Linux contributor being a lot brighter than your run of the mill programmer.

I agree that it would be valuable, but the article states they have to do it once per month?? That is overkill.

If we applied the same rigorous testing and verification processes in medicine to software, software development as we know it would definitely end. It would probably take years to convert a straight-forward requirement into a working piece

Online discussions lack tone of voice, intonation, etc. and any form of non-verbal communication which makes it really hard to judge the intention of the other person. And of course pure anonymity makes it possible to be an asshole without

Going back to the similarity between Facebook and the tobacco industry that the article points out, you could make the case that Phillip Morris is not to blame because people are naturally prone to nicotine addiction. I hope that at some po

Only ~33% of my 27", 1440p display is used for this article, which makes the images very unclear unless I zoom in, since they don't get their own paragraph and the text wraps around them. Not sure if this qualifies as irony for a

Python comes close, but what makes Smalltalk special is that flow control and loops are done with objects. There are almost no keywords. Imagine that you could do something like this in JavaScript: (name === "Mike").ifTrue(() =&gt
