"You think we have a custom UI device to control this thing? No. It's react running in chrome on windows." No, I'd expect a cost plus contract to do that. I wouldn't expected anyone else to do that.

I was looking for a figma like app that had AI integration, I'm mostly happy with uizard. Think the AI could be a bit better, but its not bad.

Teachers use websites to try and detect if AI wrote essays (and often it gets it wrong, and they believe it) we've defacto passed it.

I have a MacBook pro m1. I'm considering an upgrade, but not for CPU. What I really need is more memory. This computer is not capable of doing any real load of development work without running out of memory. It's insanely frus

If what David Grusch is saying about UAP is true (and please don't let this thread turn into a debate about that), this feels like it's falling into a similar pattern. A potential world changing capability is being developed, the

You'd think of Plus was profitable, ie: it costs less than a user was paying for it they'd just provision more resources. The fact that they can't seem to do that might either be an indication they're having a hard time

This is plausible to me, there's no way anyone is making money from my $20 subscription I use ALL DAY LONG.

I don't understand why I would want to buy this, everything you're "giving" me is available a few commands away using NPM.

I believe we're witnessing a political realignment, and anti-technology sentiments play a significant role in the evolving left/right ideologies. There's something I term the "new right," which is distinctly differe

How important is being fully offline? I've been able to access Lucid Charts from my phone, and from a plane wifi. I can't honestly think of a time where I needed lucid, but didn't have an internet connection. To me, I care

I think there is an evolution developers go through. Right around the "design pattern" stage where everything is decoupled, hinges for all parts. Devs seem to focus on the test coverage value. Both these attributes stem from th

I got covid back in May 21, lost sense of taste for around 6 months, than had horrible congestion and insomnia and fatigue since. The insomnia hasn't gone away yet. I got covid again a few weeks ago, and was given some antivirals (Mo

"no sound" doesn't work for me, in the absence of sound all I hear is myself, and my thoughts. Meditation apps actually work really well in helping me quiet my thoughts and fall asleep. Funny enough, economic or history lec

I read a lot of studies about gout, there's a lot of studies like "we found participants who consumed x cups of coffee lowered their uric acid" all of them follow the same pattern. They asked people to consume more liquids,

Supply and demand, a boat load of extremely talented FAANG engineers were dumped on a smaller market. You might not be willing to compromise on the price of your eggs, but your peer might and he might be almost as good as you, and probably

It is not at all obvious it will "revert" back... we had HUGE amounts of people working on bullshit projects that never generated any revenue. Maybe in the previous climate of cheap capital we could afford to do that, but in 2023

I never spoke of performance, clearly postgres can match performance. It just seems more expensive in terms of dollars to do so.

I wish game development wasn't so monolithic. You're either all in on Unity, or all in on Unreal, or all in on GoDot. They are designer forward, code later. Each has a marketplace of sorts, but in my experience it's substa

With AI, you can do more with the same amount of resources. In terms of head-count I'm betting we saw the peak of the tech industry. I don't think this is just a "regular" recession. Much the same way manufacturing le

You used to be able to, but they took away browsing capability. However you can still copy and paste documentation, and that works. But it was a lot more convienent when it could just look up the documentation :(
