The article didn't do a good job explaining the 120% attention angle, I kept reading waiting for that and it never really came. I definitely had the impression it was heavily using AI in the writing which I gave up on being against, bu

It's not really political. Or let me rephrase possibly yt-dl is being political. VUT the concept of 'not adopting a core dependency until it has been widely used in production for 6 months - a year.', is not a political on ge

I don't think it's helpful to call this psychosis. N Beyond that I don't think it's even irrational. It is definitely factual that there is a complete paradigm shift in the prioritization of quality in software. It&#x27

Generally agree with this stance case in point: the breakthrough in ai coding was not that AI intelligence increased as much as that a lot of the core process execution moved out of the LLM prompt and into the harness.

This again? In general, Software Engineering is not engineering. It's not a technical issue, it's a 'software doesn't really kill people so government doesn't intervene in it'. In the case where the software is

I don't think the title and the article really communicates it's case well. Did not understand the goal until 90% through the article when they showed the source code of RCL with the loops. This isn't syntax vs abstraction. T

I upvoted this, because while it was critical it didn't feel meanspirited and it was factually correct. After fully reading the article I came to understand it really was not referring to anything sqllite specific, was really 'wha

Ultimately the important thing is that the development team align on the style of programming that they will use at least per project. And the larger the codebase and more developers working on it the more important the consistency in impl

I don't think 'gentrification' is the right word for this. However the comments here do illustrate an underlying 'real' phenomenon what ever you call it. Just for clarity: - Non-Japan Asia is new to gaming, and that

I am not knocking the article but seems like if you are going to dedicate the effort of learning quick mental math it's probably more efficient to 'just' know how to multiple 2 digits quickly than specifically focusing on 2 d

The ABC approach written about her seems good to me, but I still think of this as abstraction. I get that this is a 'zero' or 'low cost' abstraction but it's still an abstraction. Don't want to be overly nit pi

This is valid thought process BUT Altman is not going to come back without the other faction being neutered. It just would not make any sense.

Good for you? Different people have different challenges, I salute you for standing up to yours. I don't think you should change your mind on this, the feeling of sticking to you 'will' is better than any game.

Article doesn’t really present an argument. Pretty much starts with ‘you don’t want the cost and complexity’ and then goes on from that point as a given. A more useful article would actually walk through the cost/complexity trade

I think there is a minimum floor that should be allocated to this kind of work. It doesn’t make sense to clean everything to a perfect condition but there should be some amount of ‘keep your room clean’ level of hygiene that’s maintained

But you are not actually retired. Seems more in line with what the article is saying.

This to me is what killed delivery as a service. It doesn’t work even when they are charging what works out to be double the salary the restaurant pays its own delivery people. And it works out for no one, restaurant, driver, even the deli

Well the thing is studies are not really for media or lay people, or even researchers/scientists out of a given field.

I think outside of the formal logic space the concept of invariants still are core to programming. Many different strategies such as pure functions, unit tests, type systems, isolation of global state, all key really key around the concept

Comics just are too expensive to target a young child audience, and as such their story lines reflect that… basically only comic hero with big money behind them aimed at kids is spider man… On the other hand I don’t know anyone under 20 int

This is basic concept of the free market. it is valid to reject this concept. The free market is basically a religion in the US. However if you reject this ideal which is the western worlds baseline, then you really have to provide some inf

I think this statement is on point based on the article. Its important to differentiate even if the two things are related, you cant solve a problem until you can state and understand it.

Honestly seems the issue is something is preventing you from objectively observing and documenting your issue. This is the first step. For instance, you have decided the issue is 'being boring' when what you describe is 'bein

I definitely understand your take, it is definitely an unusual mixture of hard near sci fi concepts and pulp sci fi 'drama'. I personally enjoyed it immensely but can definitely understand why someone would not.

I am only perplexed by this in regards to how workers are surviving without jobs? Usually many brackets of workers live check to check to the degree they have no choice but to continue working despite all other concerns. Is it the gig econo
