Do you think the constituents in this country would vote for a law explicitly banning YouTube?

I would strongly encourage you to create a global shared bashrc for your various devices - my dotfiles repo has tremendously improved my life as an eng who needs to discard dev boxes occasionally (virtual dev boxes)

Do you think YouTube will continue to be available in a country that does this? Or free Spotify? Is that good? Or bad?

And what do you think the consequence of that new regulation will be?

by wrsh07 9mo ago
Yeah - it seems like this will cause a series of 5 second skippable ads that still sums up to >many seconds of unskippable ads (unless that's banned, in which case they will just see ads more often, as you say) I expect it will make

I would encourage everyone to identify when these rules don't apply! However, I think these rules are generally safer than the claim that you should do something other than what you've said you would do (or, perhaps, other than wh

There are two things here: 1. Sharing ai generated content is fine if you tell everyone what it is (I recommend also sharing prompts). 2. Ymmv, but my manager would want to know "roughly how much work would this be?" I don't

This post has some big gaps. Who is this for? When is it relevant? The opposite advice is essentially addressed in Being Glue by Tanya Reilly^. If you do a job that your management chain is not measuring, you won't be rewarded for it.

To be clear, I don't think we disagree very much I've seen people only run tests and break things (because the thing they broke wasn't covered by tests), I've seen people try to fix things and not verify that their fix w

I would argue that the word "proof" in the title might be misleading you. From the post and the example he links, the point is that if you don't at least look at the running code, you don't know that it works. In my opin
