This exactly. My post was not a fiery indictment of framework, more that I am musing that perhaps I have been duped. Not because they aren't repairable (they are), but because I didn't consider that the quality would be so much lo

I had a similar issue on AMD 7040, where it would lock too I think 800Mhz or something. It didn't get hot, it would just obviously be very sluggish until I restarted. The issue popped up a few times, but I think was ultimately fixed wi

I agree with their conclusion. I somewhat regret buying my framework laptop at this stage, because the answer to every fault is "buy a new component, from framework". I'm not sure I blame them for this really, but there is no

Ditto. It's not a reference to anything that I can find, and the concept of gravity is sort of mentioned once but never expanded upon enough for me to really understand what they mean.

How can people not trust in anecdotes and vibes while avoiding studies, do you mean? Isn't that the point here? That everyone thinks massive disruption is happening and everyone is 100xing their productivity, but it's not actually

In most industries that need software made for them it's hard enough to get people to care about spending enough time on informal methods let alone formal ones. I simply don't think most of the industry has had the breathing room

The cheapest internet where I live (just outside London) is gigabit, which is why I have it, but really I haven't needed anything faster than ADSL at any point, unless I guess I really want that game downloaded now now now. That's

It appears to be a real term? https://docs.vulkan.org/tutorial/latest/Synchronization/Asyn... Very odd, but perhaps more familiar to graphics programmers? I will say I'd probably call it a stall, which i

Valve makes it very very easy to be a PC gamer, and, importantly, slightly harder to be a PC gamer who buys games in places other than Steam. Yes you can buy games on GoG or Epic and play them on a steam deck or a steam machine. But it&#x27

Not OP, but I had to change the mail cache from all mail to recent, I think because it couldn't handle how much mail I had? It would often get stuck not syncing, and offline would be unreliable and showing a blank screen. Recent works

It's more profitable because it allows you to select political perspectives that allow you, the scammer and or gambler, to scam or gamble harder.

Meal deals are in every supermarket in the UK. Petrol stations even do them. Also, as a foreigner who lives over there, I think they are... sad? I'm surprised they got a positive reception from your coworkers. For me they are a backup

> LLMs aren’t lazy. They don’t cut corners because a simpler solution feels good enough. If they know how to solve something thoroughly, they will. I don't know why they think this, but no? Perhaps it's badly expressed, but LLM

So 100%, I agree that it's highly dangerous that the distro's the next tranche of people unfamiliar with linux (gamers dissatisfied with Windows) move over with, are based on hecking Arch. It feels like a massive upcoming footgun.

Not all tools are made for inexperienced people. Not everything is idiot proof. This is OK! In my experience using the AUR: 1. when you first install the package you can read the build script (and you should). These are in a very standard s

sorry that's what I meant: I remember watching their depositions or whatever they were called, and their only concern was whether or not they had spied on US citizens. Whether or not they spied on their allies, I do not recall any cove

We must live in different realities, because I have the direct opposite experience. Perhaps we are defining "job" differently? AI can, with much coaching, _perhaps_[1], do some _aspects_ of a programmer's job. But not all of

Back when Snowden leaked all of the spying information, the only thing the States cared about was whether they spied on their own citizens. The fact that they spied on the citizens of their allies, including yes, the EU, barely made the new

I had seen, up until LLMs, posts in this theme: https://dannorth.net/blog/the-worst-programmer/ pretty regularly. This one was only a few years ago! Maybe we run in different circles. Or did, anyway.

IDK, I do think a lot of it is LLMs enable people who were not in our community to come into it (in an eternal september kind of way) and they are going through all this from first principals and ignoring their elders, but I've also se

It is endlessly... amusing (?) to me, that we as a community spent decades trying to make it clear that our productivity is not easily measured because what we're doing is complicated and long running, only for AI to come along and sud

Jesus fucking Christ. On a bicycle. LLMs should be treated as untrusted. At all times. The mind boggles at the attitudes that seem to have have led to LLMs being an excuse to throw any of the "science" in computer science we'

This is perhaps a very American-centric article? I realise that ZIRP was near-global, but "When banks hiked interest rates, almost every tech company immediately laid off 5-20% of their engineers." does not track with my or my fri

So currently there are people who are buying grey market peptides[1], marked "not for human consumption" and injecting themselves with them based on dubious anecdotes and vibes, to make their skin clearer, build muscle mass, and s

Interesting project! I would say some of the indicators are a little odd. Some of them are questionable in terms of capturing the spirit of the idea ("violent crime" being the same in the UK and the US is a surprising one to me fo

It wouldn't be atomic, and so would break transaction semantics. If you committed a row update but didn't update the index, a subsequent query using the not yet updated index would not find the updated row correctly. It would also

Yes, many times. Roughly once a week this year my team or an associated team can't ship changes because PRs, GitHub Actions, or some other associated mechanism is down.

Not to be glib, but being dead lowers your night time heart rate more then exercise as well. Is having a lower night time heart rate the core goal of exercise? Is it even a goal at all? Or is it just an indicator of other goals being reache

If you use scrum, and if you have a scrum master. You categorically don't need to do either of those things though.
