IMO it is 100% this - these AI tools are letting anyone solve problems that were previously in the domain of programmers.

I am off similar vintage to the author. I have no idea when Apache first supported SSI , but personally I never knew it existed until years after PHP became popular. I would guess , assuming that `Options +Includes` cannot be done by unprin

Normally I would eye-roll at these kind of self promotions but it looks like you are trying to help with a real pain point of Nix. I put a good amount of time getting to grips with "raw" nix with the I imagine common yo-yo-ing bet

It's not a good reason but I believe this happens because voice command has to go to Google server, Google talk to light vendor API, light vendor communicates with your device, and lights go off only if all of this succeeds. Meanwhil

Snaps is just the latest in a long line of failed attempts to differentiate their desktop. Give it a few years and they will switch to Flatpack.

Re type annotations, is there some non-default setting or plugin I am overlooking? As a long time pycharm user who recently switched to vscode, I have found pycharm's understanding of type annotations to be borderline broken. def f

Not aware of a built in way, but if you use bash or similar as your shell you can do an alias like git config --global alias.chpull '!f() { git checkout "$1" && git pull; }; f'

I got into PCs around same time as you, but imho the best overclock came years later: the Intel Celeron 300A would happily run at 450mhz for a whopping 50% increase. I was right into FPS games at the time, and for a while it seemed every se

It's fascinating to me how some solutions in programming become 'trendy' and get used everywhere, even when it may not be the right solution. And then other solutions, like the "COMB GUID" from 2002 have stayed in r

I can't get into doom eternal either, but for the opposite reason. For me it is too arcadey - the way enemies flash when a glory kill is possible, the subsequent button combo and fixed animations, the oversaturated colour of items as t

Ultrawide are actually still quite standardized. The most common size is 34" . They are the same height as a 16:9 27" and the same amount of vertical pixels - one of 1080,1440, 2160. It is derived from the same panel as what goes

I agree, the answer list is clearly curated to avoid unusual words. This leaves a fuzzy middle ground for human players: there are accepted guess words like SOARE that can be good as a first guess, but is almost certainly not going to be th

Web hosters and the like need stability and don't really care about the underlying distribution at all. Those types of users will leave CentOS and never look back.

AMD has a public roadmap, and (assuming they execute) their next CPU in 2021 will be 5nm. Apple do not of course, but TSMC have stated they expect 3nm to be produced in volume in 2H22 which tells us we have at least one more round of Apple
