How about you enlighten us rather than just taunt us with your superior knowledge?

People always crawl out of the wood-work swearing blind they've always used em-dash, but the truth is that actual em-dash usage has exploded by a factor of thousands and is therefore, along with other markers, a strong indicator. It&#x

I won't say too much, but I recently had an experience where it was clear that when talking with a colleague, I was getting back chat GPT output. I felt sick, like this just isn't how it should be. I'd rather have been ignore

Halo wasn't even ported to the PC until 2003, and wasn't well regarded or played much.

I've been watching a twitch streamer vibe-code a game. Very quickly he went straight to, "Fuck it, the LLM can execute anything, anywhere, anytime, full YOLO". Part of that is his risk-appetite, but it's also partly beca

And unless they've improved it, NY Connections doesn't have nearly enough red-herrings to be interesting. The difficulty with the Only Connect wall is that you can have 5 sets of 5 or more in each, and sometimes can have loads tha

Indeed, but I was arguing that the parent claim that "only your transactions" could be affected was false. It's true that you can't synthesise false transactions, but you can undo anyone's transactions, not just you

Maybe there's more resilience to prevent chain swaps now, but my understanding of the original blockchain algorithm is that: At block N someone could start to privately mine (empty) blocks. They keep mining in private until block N+x i

You have been mean with your interpretation of my statement. I am not saying, "It's harder to convince other people to pay for this for me". I am saying, "It is harder for me to pay for this for someone else".

But traditional barriers have been able to be knocked down more easily with charity, because it's easier to raise charity money for capex than opex. It was common to have charity drives to get computers into schools, for example, but i

Thanks, I think that was it. Yes, there are always "reasons", but things have got dramatically worse, with especially 8 -> 10 -> 11. It particularly annoys me when apps/widget/utilities partially load in and sit th

It's not rose tinted glasses, someone on twitter recently did exactly that. Windows 2000 was snappy. Incredibly so. I'd try to dig it up but search is so fundamentally broken these days I can't find it.

The trick isn't to convince, it's to just do. How I approached it for an org with 300 projects and 10k+ failures after adding the analyzer. 1. Add .editorconfig and analyzer anyway 2. Ignore all the failing analyzer rules in .edit

They're talking about how to sync the .editorconfig if projects are not in a mono-repo.

I couldn't disagree more. How do you expect junior programmers to become senior ones without help? Having automated guard-rails saves a large amount of your senior devs time by avoiding them having to pick such things up in code review

I only skimmed the article and didn't catch it at first, but a deeper read shows overuse of "rule of 3" which to be fair is also something that hacks do. But also factual errors, such as quoting the supposedly Democrat chair

Indeed, GitHub is still lightning fast compared to Azure Dev Ops. Which has been in Limbo since MS bought GitHub, is slow as molasses and is missing some fairly large features, yet MS also refuse to formally abandon it.

It's more than a few seconds. On a desktop with a stable fast connection, it takes up to 1GB of RAM and ~17 seconds to finish loading, including around 2.5 seconds of processing time. On the network side it makes ~650 requests. That&#x
