reddit does okay from a profit standpoint. reddit does terribly from a bot or even a good community standpoint.

im sorry but maybe connecting to irc is a bit of a filter on the users they expect. especially with ai it should be almost no effort.

It was the same thing with javascript/typescript and python. Sometimes you just have to let people think what they want.

LMS doesn't improve teaching or learning. They are administrative overhead.

by Xeronate 4mo ago
Maintaining an LMS doesn't seem like a good use of time. You should almost always outsource pieces that aren't your core business.

When I started spending 40-60 hours a week programming and wanted to spend my remaining time doing other things.

I think your final sentence is more accurate than your churn argument. AI doesn't double output, but actually writing the code is only a small part of the job.

I understand the vision, but how does this work on a global scale. e.g. American employees refuse to build this, but China's don't. Edit: I originally ended with "What would have happened if Germany had a nuclear bomb and Ame

Purely anecdotal, but my friend's dad was a professor at well respected university in California doing Cancer research and recently moved to China even though he didn't want to because the money was too much for him to pass up.

Admittedly I haven't used C# in a few years, but to my knowledge it is much more ergonomic than java and personally it's my preferred language. Only thing stopping me from using it more is it has a much smaller community than java

I worked for a publicly traded corporate elearning company that was written this way. Mainly sprocs with a light mapping framework. I agree this is better as long as you keep the sprocs for accessing data and not for implementing applicati

Regarding your concerns about tutor emulation, your argument seems to be students use chatbots as a way to cheat rather than as a tutor. My pushback is its very easy to tell a chatbot to give you hints that lead to the answer and to get dee

Is it true that it's bad for learning new skills? My gut tells me it's useful as long as I don't use it to cheat the learning process and I mainly use it for things like follow up questions.

Agree but at the same time talking about leaving the rat race and glorifying the simple life is old hat for anyone over the age of 25. It gets annoying reading trite advice written by someone that sees it as profound insight.

I read the main problem with hiring chip factory workers in Arizona was the factory just didnt pay enough for the long hours demanded. I looked up the median salary and its only 50k so I'm assuming it's not crazy skilled labor (e.

1g of sugar per serving is hardly anything. You are weakening your argument by being hyperbolic.

Being productive doesn’t consume my entire life but if i’m going to do two things that feel the same I may as well do the one that has other substantial benefits to myself and others. I spend enough time developing that side of myself at wo

The article mentions one of the main appeals of factorio is you get to think like a programmer without bosses/overhead from actual work but it’s always been hard to get into games for that reason because I could just work on a side pro

What is the alternative to dependencies if you are making a highly interactive web app? Large/old apps being a pain to maintain isn't something unique to javascript.

Even if react is made for SPAs (which is a murky definition anyway) there are many parts of react that make general website development better. For example dependency management is way easier and maintainable with npm/react than manual
