Others have gotten into how OSM fights vandalism, but I can tell you a little about what it is like to consume the data. About a decade ago I was in the public sector and we wanted to switch from google maps to OSM in our route calculation

What do you mean "might"? I can crank Fable or Sol up to max intelligence and they'll spend an hour reviewing my rust SDK for working with our ADLSgen2's, and it'll still be done before the rust compiler has compile

I live in Denmark. So yes. I have seen a map of Scandinavia. People didn't travel. Even here in Denmark which is tiny compared to Norway and Sweden, if you only ever go in a 10-15km radius of your home then there is a good chance you w

You can't vibe code your way around the security policies you'd apply to management groups in Azure. If you don't have those policies, you're frankly doing it on purpose. For the fun of it I asked Sol to give me architec

Your perspective is correct. We call them shadow developers, but it's a massive issue and security threat. The more tools Microsoft adds to their AI admin center (and put behind that ridicilous Agent365 DLC license) the more we see jus

Are you purposely twisting things to fit a certain narrative? If you really want to go into it, I've previously talked about how we used AI tools provided to us by one of our major investors who do so for all the companies they are inv

I don't think they are opposite. We still don't let AI run anything we do. That being said, things have changed. 4 months ago I wouldn't touch the M365 Copilot thing if you paid me to, now it's basically the only AI I us

I doubt it would be better served as a customized off the shelf software. They certainly could have done it with our existing systems with SmartSheet, Microsoft Fabric and/or Power Apps with SharePoint for document storage. From an ent

I don't think you should keep AI away from software development for security reasons. We're in the European economic area and are completely NIS2 compliant and we use LLM's to aid in our software development for high risk sys

I think it depends on what area of the world you work. We recenty had one of our plant managers build a web portal to keep track of some of our operational tech, with features you wouldn't find in standard products. I've been turn

I think it was similar to all the early MMO's. They were a platform to create a community in a time where that was hard to do in the real world. Back when I started playing Asheron's Call there were basically two "nerds"

Maybe it's because I live in a country where e-mai isn't really used that much for personal communication, but wouldn't this mainly be a gmail issue? If mails I wanted ended up in the spam folder I'd not use gmail. I mea

I'm not GP but I assume the point they were making was that throwing away the old printer a buying a new one would consume less world resources than using Claude to build this driver.

I got sort of lucky early in my career because I had a talent that was discovered in a national network. Which meant I found myself writing national strategies for IT in our public sector (Denmark) at my late 20ies. It felt great for a year

I have nothing to contribute to the google discussion, it's been a while since I used any of their products other than google pay, maps and youtube music. The big migrant crisis in Europe was in 2015 though. We get these things in smal

I knew OOP had failed when we started getting programmers who solved memory issues with batching instead of thinking about why they were loading that much data into the memory to begin with. For the previous 20-30 years that didn't rea

You obviously wouldn't, since it would be happening to you. It's war though. We don't like to talk about it but WW2 was won in parts by fire bombing major cities all over Germany. It didn't start that way, in the beginni

It's not your fault that I've become unclutured. If my wife had read it she would've never thought twice about which Godot it was. Kind of fun to think about how things change though. I don't think my children will read

I'm not from the USA so my views are obviously biased by this. I very much doubt Epstein committed suicide, and it's been wild to watch you guys deal with it, not releasing the files, holding nobody accountable and so on. That bei

I am so uncultured that I was wondering why on earth we were waiting for Godot... But it's of couse because it's THAT Godot and not the game engine.

This was sort of what I wanted to say, but I guess I should have worded it differently. I certainly didn't mean to say that I thought AI would stop improving. If anything I'm surprised at how much we have to fight the AI models to

I'm from Denmark and I've been an external examiner for various CS educations for the previous 13 years now. Some of them teach you a lot about how the hardware works, others mainly teach you design patterns. Five years ago the la

We're also at the point where you can roll out context to your entire organisation. I created an app for our m365 Cowork and deployed it to everyone who develops software. It does a couple of things, but it main knows our compliance po

Around here AI isn't really more of a threat to juniors than it is to seniors. It's a threat to the people who have been taught "recipies" rather than applied computer science. You can have excellent seniors who can do T

Usenet was(is?) moderated similar, to IRC, Discord and so on with some newsgroups needing moderator approval for every single post. Also, there was a lot of drama on Usenet. I don't think it's that different from the fediverse. I

You're right, landsbytosse doesn't not translate well. To be fair the literal translation is village fool, which isn't much better. It's meaning would be more along the lines of village eccentric, which could be the vill
