I have a colleague who vibes the shit out of his part, and it results in large commits that take a lot of time to understand, and that makes cooperation practically impossible. LLMs are not team players.

I experienced that once. The parent and the parent's parent company were from the USA. The top CEO and CTO came over and fired everyone. My laptop was controlling a job that had to run pretty long on a 16 core server, but I did as aske

True story, heard yesterday from a consultant who was working with some VP type (not a large company, but still high management): VP uploads a spreadsheet to Claude and tells it to remove column F. The power of Excel is not what it was. Nor

What are you trying to imply (while hiding behind a rather unsuitable form of irony)? Not that the EU is taking away essential freedom, I hope?

Fortunately, I've neverencountered that. But still, I can see the usefulness of a guaranteed globally unique UUID, at least for certain purposes. However, a service to add numbers baffles me. The operations needed to create, send, rece

As other people said in this thread: so many devices won't be patched. And that can easily lead to users and manufacturers moving away from Linux. Linux is in a glass house.

Just the fact that it takes NGOs and journalists to uncover tax evasion practices. The governments and tax offices aren't looking. CumEx was a scandal in 2017, and despite being known since 1992, has only recently led to just a handful

I find this so hard to believe, but I've nearly always worked in small groups/companies. Can you, or any of the commenters above, explain why the reasoning that leads to such a service isn't rejected by, well, common sense? S

1% of the GDP is a considerable amount of money. The GDP is not a country's profit, not even its revenue. If we stick to 2023, Poland had a budget deficit of 5% of the GDP, which makes 1% a very welcome gift.

There have been a bunch. Did any auditor lose a license, credibility, or even a night's sleep? Even accountants aren't held to their standards, and they are supposed to guard the holiest of holiest: shareholder money.
