Even back in the day, code review was often more of a helping exercise than gatekeeping. You can only gatekeep so much before they find someone who doesn't. Which is actually a good thing because a lot of people are pedantic about code

I dunno, I'd rather proofread (or better yet just test) LLM-generated code than have to reason about assembly. You can't just look at part of the assembly to prove that the rest is right, especially if it's hand-written, or m

The comparison to compilers doesn't make sense. When your job is to build software at work, you don't throw away the code after and commit a binary. But more importantly, an LLM is not a compiler.

Well idk what an actual software engineering program would teach that you can't learn better on your own or on the job. Formal CS education teaches things that simultaneously help with the job and also can't be learned there. But

by traderj0e 6mo ago
You could say the same thing about compiled code, actually it's worse because anything a compiler spits out is very hard to understand even for those who understand assembly.

Many people by now have probably seen a teammate who used to be a good SWE, now spamming slop code that puts all the real work on the reviewer. That's the "second group."

by traderj0e 6mo ago
That too

by traderj0e 6mo ago
Many of the top schools don't have software/computer engineering degrees, rather people who want to be SWEs get CS degrees.

Income and assets are different though. They will tax what you earn, but they aren't trying to tax your net worth afterwards. Idk how France can go after the assets of people who move.
310.
by traderj0e 6mo ago
These people are still paying the country more than they cost. France is doing the unsustainable thing.

The most famous criticism of Flash was "Thoughts on Flash" by Steve Jobs, which said among other things that it's too inefficient. He did cite inconsistent hardware acceleration for H.264 that was a real performance drawback

Some of the random non-chain diners in the middle of some forested area are super nice and somehow not expensive, like the kind you stop at on the way to a ski trip. I'd think they'd be pricey cause of tourism or difficulty gettin

Idk, this one might just be a real angry person. The bot is the other one saying some generic paragraph about American diners.

IHOP and Denny's fit that. They're quiet about the value menu.

I used to love Alice's Restaurant in 2014-2019, but moved away, so idk what it's like today.

"Quiet airport" doesn't mean this
318.
by traderj0e 6mo ago
That particular rule kinda depends on the airline and how full the flight is

Is that just in LAX or everywhere? Cause that scene was still relevant in 2000s LAX

Also DTW having everything in Japanese, I'm guessing cause of the auto industry

SFO is so nice just because of this. I hope other airports follow.

I know it's not required by law to scan it, but it might be a store policy, in which case I don't think there's a law disallowing that kind of store policy. They'll tell you to shop elsewhere, and every big store does it
323.
by traderj0e 6mo ago
Yeah, they were like "Flash is too slow" then the replacement was 5x slower
324.
by traderj0e 6mo ago
Are they obligated to still sell the liquor if you refuse the scan? The cashier specifically told me last time they're required to scan it if I want to buy that.

Web apps weren't so easy to make back then, so standalone apps were the norm. Shortly before 2009 a lot of the web apps were Java or Adobe Flash, and 2009 was part of the transition period where platforms were at war with that stuff bu

Please tell me at least you don't work some software corp where it's someone else's job to worry about the business, if you're going to pass that kind of judgement.

It's not clickbait though

by traderj0e 6mo ago
I took it to mean, prioritize long-term growth over short-term income. But the slogan was silly even back then, like obviously an evil company would claim to not be evil.

I'm on board with it too, but the timing and methodology is suspicious. We already got a "protect the kids" law to semi-block TikTok in the US, but it was really about protecting Israel's image (its sponsors even admitte
