But it's Meta, yuck! Better use Signal or Telegram.

Raspberries are cool for tinkering with hardware, learning how to write kernel drivers etc. But I think this is how maybe 30% of Raspberries are used. People do uncanny things to turn those boards into something we already have on the marke

People easily forgot how they laughed at wizards in Harry Potter series who said "You-Know-Who" instead of "Voldemort". Now they are doing exactly the same thing.

At this point it's easier to just write the code. If my prompt is to be longer than the code produced, why bother with explaining that to LLM?

Sounds very depressing.

I used to code at night with a kerosene lamp sitting on my desk. I love the light spectrum of a live fire. "Portable" (they couldn't even fit in a pocket) CD players were the worst thing imho. Too sensitive to even small shoc

What other social interactions are needed more than: "One flat white to go, please", and "Thank you"? Asking genuinely, because I don't know what else I can say.

Ironically, we chose a work style that requires maintaining prolonged focus, which sucks without meds (especially when dealing with boring tasks).

Never happened to me. And I'm using Mac and iPhone.

Nice, but what does it mean? Are you gonna replace a group of specialists in their fields with prompts to LLM?

Can't tell what would be the best case (pun intended) for you, depends on the language you use. Yes, it will eventually end up as some sort of look-up table, though switch statement is the last option I'd use (assuming you gonna h

I really enjoy doing the dishes now that the dishwasher does ~100% percent of the work.

Maintaining a switch for all possible TIFF tags doesn't sound like a good programming practice, though.

So... Mindless coding is it? The best part of coding is doing research and learning. Coding, for the pure sake of finishing the project as soon as possible with the least involvement, sounds like doing unpleasant chores.

At least when reading a human-made material you can spot author's uncertainty in some topics. Usually, when someone doesn't have knowledge of something, he doesn't try to describe that. AI, however, will try to convince you t

Apparently, it's not only em-dash that's distinctive. I've went through comments of the leader, and spot he also uses the backtick "’" instead of the apostrophe.

I've scored pretty high on the "inattentive scale", but got only a few points on the "hyperactive" one. I was told that both scales must be high to be diagnosed with ADHD.

I passed the test at 100%. Still, I had gone through a professional assessment not that long ago, and I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD because I lack hyper motion activity. I compensate it with ultra-hyper brain activity, but that doesn&#x

One of my favorite is an RC circuit with a Schmitt triggered inverter. So simple and ingenious.

I think that's the usual way the american attorneys advertise. I kinda like that style. In Poland, attorneys aren't allowed to advertise that expressively, which I think is a stupid regulation.

Depends how you use it. I see numerous possibilities of taking advantage of such "bad name". People know the real Breivik is in prison, so they will be genuinely curious. Besides, it's not like you have your name tattooed on

A couple of years ago when I still was on Facebook, I had a problem with my account being falsely accused of hacking. I believe it happened because I had been chatting with my friend about computer malware. All my chats were gone, and I cou

Depends. If you are a really recognisable persona and you just log out one day, then expect a bunch of psycho-fan creeps looking for you in the real world.

What was the question like? "How to print a decimal in C"? Valuable questions aren't downvoted. If you ask about something that could be found on the first Google page, then no surprise you are being downvoted.

> Watch someone who is not familiar with Linux and how it works attempt to install it and use it. What a dumb analogy. My mother can use Windows very well, it doesn't mean she could also install it. The same rule applies to most Win

Pushing to release something every year. That's a really dumb strategy. Managers forgot about the golden triangle of: "good, cheap, fast", out of which you can pick only two, but they have decided to pick only "fast&quot

It's funny to see how Windows and Linux completely switched sides. Linux once being the clumsy one, hard to install, even harder to configure, mediocre UX, running on poor device drivers and requiring hours spent on the internet to sol

Didn't have a stroke, but in addition to developing software, I developed "software" brain issues too.

He wrote at the end he hoped his idea and all preparations will work, because he wouldn't be able to repeat the steps while in-flight.
