I think they try to have deeper themes sometimes, but the strict formula ruins it. Winter Soldier is about questioning loyalty, Wandavision is about burying trauma. The problem is that these themes are always undone or diminished in the end

Applies to the Doomsday Clock as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_Clock Someone ought to make a parody clock at this point.

The way that I stay optimistic is to think about how awareness of these issues is growing. As they say, knowing is half the battle. https://www.pewresearch.org/science/2019/11/25/u-s-public-vi... More pe

I don’t see why any of that means it can’t be reformed. No commonly-used language is formed in a vacuum.

That sounds great and all, except that estimates are usually wrong. It’s a real problem when estimates are treated as deadlines, which is exactly what you’re describing.

Can anyone familiar with the law tell us if this will stand? What grounds does the government have to limit access like this? On an unrelated note, I’m a little surprised how positive people are on this. How many of us spent time online in

I work for a small company, and I do believe loyalty is rewarded here. Raises, bonuses, freedom to move between projects, etc. I’m sure it’s a different story when you’re working with an army of devs. It’s a numbers game, everyone is easier

Hard disagree. Maybe a little monotone in the literal sense, but he’s very knowledgeable and asks insightful questions.

It's almost certainly based on the dominant puritan culture. You know, abstinence-only people. Based on some quick googling, it seems like it's not too uncommon.

Right. I still think these kind of tools are valuable. You can do motion capture and convert it into a style that is not photorealistic. It's arguably a more compelling demo to take live action and instantly turn it into something high

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I have zero interest in realistic character models in video games. There are limitless possibilities when it comes to art styles in gaming, and the one AAA picks over and over is realism. It's s

“Just not for the hardware issues” is a huge deal though. That’s an entire skillset you can eliminate from your requirements if you’re only in the cloud. Depending on the scale of your team this might be a massive amount of savings.

Maybe when they become much much more sophisticated. Right now they reduce time spent write boilerplate and looking at docs. How much of you overall time is spent on those tasks now? For most devs its not much. Significant time is spent rea

It's pretty lame to assume that everyone has the exact same moral views as you. Most people would probably agree that he's said some highly questionable things, but what about the age-old question of separating the art from the ar

For Ctrl+R, suppose you ran 'curl' against a bunch of API endpoints on a single domain name 2 months ago. I can now easily find one without knowing too much detail by fuzzy searching curl+part_of_domain_name+part_of_path. For Alt+

But for what? People have nostalgia for physical video stores, not the Blockbuster brand.

Do I have to point out the very very obvious issue that these LLMs will spit out false information pretty regularly? I think LLMs are exciting of course, but this post is overly flowery and relies heavily on bashing the current education sy

This feels like a win for capitalism to me. The actually innovative Docker did is open source, and replacements already exist for DockerHub. So, we get the good tech they created, and the company with the user-hostile choices dies, or becom

This is the right answer. By the time anything goes to court there's going to be more investigation than looking at a forum post.

> Will the AR be used to insert ads into people's conversations or plaster images of ads all over the place? I doubt it. This isn't the kind of cheap mass-market device where running ads is going to make you a big profit.

I think you need to elaborate on what a front-end framework has to do with version control and deployment strategies.

I've dealt with code like that, and often wrote it. It's incredibly hard to get right IMO. It's an intuition that you develop over years of trial and error, not an exact science or set of rules.

Its not transparency, it’s marketing and guessing the future.

This is important, but also, “virtually nothing” is a lie. I think self hosting can work, but you have to be honest about the costs. Deployment, maintenance, rotating logs, training others on all this.

These version names are around for one year, if you're not a Mac user, it's pretty easy to be out of the loop. It's a safe place to draw the line.

Yeah I admit I’m being childish. The first movie is so mediocre, I’m annoyed that anyone cares about this franchise.
