I interviewed at Stability AI a while ago and that interview was a complete shit show. They quite literally spent 40 minutes talking about Emad and his "vision". I think we actually talked about what they wanted me to do there for

I think that is largely a difference between the lore and the gameplay. Alduin in lore literally eats all the matter in existence like a black hole. In the game he kinda goes against his purpose and wants to rule and feed on the souls in So

In Skyrim they didn't send Alduin into the end of time, just into the future (also there is going to be an Elder Scrolls VI so V can't be the end of time, but will likely be the end of the fifth era). It was one of the reasons tha

That was the first thing I thought of when I read this headline. That show is one of my all time favorites, very underrated!

This is an excellent point and I think that while most languages will fade away in time, if they even contribute one new idea the project is worthwhile. If we had asked programmers in 1991 what the point of Python was, the responses would h

This is a very realistic take on the subject. From an academic perspective it is a tool to be used as any other and gaining knowledge on how to better protect data is worthwhile and provides value to humanity as a whole. DRM is one use that

Russia has something like 4,000 nukes, only 1 or 2 really need to work to cause massive devastation. It's much more likely that more than 1 or 2 still work and that is more than enough.

I have hemorrhoids and bought a bidet about 2 years ago. I have not had a single flair up since I started using it. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

The unit testing section is interesting because I feel like this may not be the perfect approach to them, but it is not a bad method. Too many times I see unit testing being used as the holy grail of debugging and then half of them get igno

As my last image in round 5 I got a photo of WWF where Mankind was on top of the hell in a cell. I guessed 1998 because of the meme and got it correct! It was the only image I hit dead on.

I personally don't like the Monaco GP due to how big the cars have become making it (nearly) impossible to pass. Still you are correct it definitely is a classic race. Monaco, Spa, Suzuka, and Monza are some of the best and most iconic

Honestly I don't have any issues with this. Most of my team is in Europe and I'm in America so even before COVID and WFH became the norm, I was still talking to people via Slack, Teams, etc. I think the best advice I can give is t

This is a really neat idea! I wonder how close you could get the prose to actually explaining the codes purpose as opposed to just saying "this is a for loop"?

I do the same with my .vim folder. You can place your .vimrc file in there as .vim/vimrc and now everything is backed up in git. I've been working this way for a few years now and can get setup on a new machine in a matter of minu

I think Boston Dynamics is the closest to making robots that could actually be useful in real life situations. I would love to develop code for one of these.

I think this is a very valid point. There are times when Python is not the absolute best choice for a given problem, but in most cases it can allow you to achieve the desired goal in a way that is easy for newcomers to the particular codeba

Yeah this is a good point, if you have a product with good support, that's one way you can out compete them.

This is the type of world I want to live in, and it is entirely possible and doable here in the US. We just need to get our politicians on board, which is easier said than done.

I strongly disagree with this. I read Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years for the first time in 2007 and was learning C#. I changed languages 20 times and each one taught me something different or a new way of thinking about an old prob

This honestly seems like a pretty good compromise if it works out like you have described it.

Setting up your vim environment is as cloning a git repository that contains your .vim files. Takes me about ~60 seconds to have vim up and running with all my favorite plugins. That's faster than you can download and install any other
