He may or may not be right here, but captain steeeve has a bad track record of baseless claims and/or bad speculation and is not a good reference due to his past failings. I would not be referencing him as a good source.

Yes, skills as a "portable power" isn't really the use case for me unless it's entirely generic and even then sparingly. I've mostly followed what anthropic suggests, which is putting less into context and more into

In my experience, when they are in a cutting mood, they often decide first how many people to cut, then go through teams based on their workload. So your team not having metrics, they are more likely to go "wow that team is pretty empt

While you're right, and I'm constantly thinking/worrying about my own processes giving me AI apathy, you can use AI in a way that develops your understanding of a bug. It really depends on your workflow. When I use AI to debu

Research Plan Implement. At the risk of you already knowing this or similar - in essence for a slice of a piece of work, you get the LLM to research the information required into (usually) a research file, which you go back and forth with i

When I hear this I do wonder to myself how they're using AI. For me, as long as I'm properly RPI looping it and not blindly pressing "yes" then it will nearly always reach the solution, usually a fair bit quicker, becaus

I would argue the bias is for ceos (of public companies) to act a certain way due to inherent incentives the way the world is set up, which biases their personality. But I won't go into that old argument again.

You're hearing the echo and ascribing it to the noise. A constant push and pull between leaders and the led is the fundamental. Criticism in both directions is necessary and healthy, and at different times both correct and misplaced. T

It's not objectively terrible. It's subjective - entirely. It is a 3 hour long game with 4k or so reviews. Life is strange original has 70K reviews and is 14 hours long. The remaster has 4000+ reviews and again, is 14 hours long.

But it has the right creative vibe which is the point really. Apple has a general creative aesthetic which plays well with artsy games like mixtape. It's a very deliberate choice when if it doesn't make sense to gamers.

Whether or not you don't like the game, it's a weird misrepresentation to say it's made by Megan ellison. She's been the co-founder and major backer of Annapurna for a decade. She's not a developer, she's a pub

Not quite sure what you mean by that, I'm not the one making decisions of who to cut. That's one to many levels above me. Your stated argument would make sense if you're dealing with reasonable people. Which is sometimes. But

I always include sprint points or at least some metrics to track, because even in areas that don't care about it, there is some chance a new CTO/manager/buyout or whatever jumps in. Day 1 asks for metrics and then retroactive

I've seen it in action a few times specifically in government. It's extremely difficult in my country to fire people in government. Managers want them out of their team but have no way to shift them. They are taking up one FTE in

What? The joke saying about that is "those who can't teach, teach gym". Never heard anyone say that about software engineering.

You cant fool me. It's AI all the way down.

I'm a bit suspicious of this as there are open source excel clones already. It's impressive AI can put together it's own version, but I can't help but feel it's probably just relying on existing excel clones as it&#

I don't think that makes sense. I'm not disagreeing with your overall point, but autistic in that comment is attempting to capture that "literal rhetoric but socially unaware" style of argument people can have when they

That is an external service needing to do maintenance. Not my own device on my own machine. I don't remember a time my CD player on my car would stop working due to an update.

>I can't say I know anyone IRL who has any interest in leaving PlayStation As a counterpoint to that. Most of my 30+ year old dad gamer friends (all of us are the type to own a PC, switch and ps5 pretty much) all are considering whe

It's not always obvious but the bit that is clear is it's hard to delineate "dad is working so don't interrupt him" for on-call incidents etc vs "dad is looking at cat videos". They look the same and it&#x

I find these studies specifically frustrating because they don't answer the most interesting question - is it damaging if your caregiver uses phone a lot but remains responsive. This study specifically excludes it, and fair enough when

Plenty of countries have moved away from DST. Over half who previously used it IIRC.

Sure but a producer has never needed to be able to be a live artist. Making the music is the only requirement and that totally fine.

That doesn't really work for electronic music though. Electronic or not, whether messing with a buchla or producing via vsts and changing knobs around still ends up with a human feel and human choices in a way AI music doesn't. An

That was fun. Bit confused by the result because it says I was "wow are you stephen fry?" Which I assume meant I did decent. (72K). But then below it said "you are a man of few words". I take it the latter is just becaus

One thing to consider is non-office whether remote or personal projects. A lot of devs like gaming. Gaming is more simple on windows. Gaming PCs are usually high spec. High spec is good for most coding. That's why I use windows quite o

The bit that lost me quite early in the piece was >"A side effect. You're asking me to believe in sentient weights." Huh? Did I miss that logical jump? Genuine question, maybe I'm not clueing into something here.
