This isn't true and I don't know where this idea comes from

Really grabbing at straws to dismiss the evidence of your eyes and ears here, huh?

Is this "vibe researching"?

I think the same thing every time. I've never had anyone read my meeting notes and they're better off in some sort of work order system anyways. All I'm hearing is an appeal to making the workplace more isolating. Don't

Are you suggesting people are poor because they don't have good time management?

I don't agree at all that it's the easiest of careers. I never had to work free overtime as a postal clerk until 1AM because of a production bug in deployment I never had to figure out how to fix a fry machine on-the-spot at McDon

But, according to the paper, that's not what's happening It's examining published news / research / whatever (input), making statistical predictions, and then comparing (playing) it against other predictions to fine

This is my main concern. What's the point of other tools when none of the LLMs have been trained on it and you need to deliver yesterday? It's an insanely conservative tool

Not out of date, the author is probably planning on teaching how to program Windows via WinAPI. WSL2 and VSCode will probably be outside the scope of discussion when it comes to coding Windows apps from scratch

Yeah, except the bundling wasn't the problem. It was that Microsoft was using their size to build a giant moat around IE. If you wanted modern features, it was all on IE and behind their proprietary scripting languages (vbscript, jscri

> What Apple ought to be in trouble for is interfering with their operating system customers' ability to patronize competing app stores. This isn’t illegal. Equivalent to a “No outside food and drink” sign or not letting randos sell

Not sure I agree with not starting work on it right away so you don’t finish early but, I’ve learned that constantly delivering earlier than you say can make people not believe your estimates - ditto for always being late

Except you can modify it and use it to develop games, it's licensed that way

Yeah, it's very hard to describe. Almost like you perceive the present moment and the past couple seconds at the same time. Time seems to pass by you very quickly but, then you look at the clock, and it's only been 5 minutes That

Thank you for summarizing why I left Windows app development and haven't looked back

> The reality is all these machines are basically PCs now You could make the opposite argument back in the day. Arcade hardware was what home PCs, and consoles, tried to emulate. The truth is, these still use specialized hardware even if

Yes. Raw Thrills, Sega, and Taito are still in the business of arcade machines. Pinball similarly has quite a few developers

So, you're not the least bit concerned about a massive cloud company buying a huge competitive advantage? Sony uses Azure to host their own competitive offering, you don't think they're the least bit nervous that Microsoft ca

The article doesn’t use any C++ features, though. It’s straight C code. Pretty sure that’s what they meant

Ultimately, I'll use what I have to use. I, personally, don't like Rust's syntax and will miss the static inheritance of templates. There's a lot I won't miss, on the other hand My biggest issue with most Rust posts

> for (size_t i = 0; i < raw_level.size(); i++) They say this is C++ code but, this is all C code. For instance, why aren't they using a range-based for loop? for (auto& level : raw_level) Boom! No more bugs. > I certainl

Leafley is great but, I’ve babysat enough people to tell you that an eighth (3.5g) isn’t going to put anyone on a shroom trip. They’ll definitely get stoned and have some euphoria on the downslope Update: p. Cubensis is what I’m most famili

An eighth won’t give you ego death. 5 grams is about where you start getting kaleidoscopic visuals and good hallucinations In all, the whole trip usually lasts a solid 4 hours. You’re going to be ready to pass out at the end

Just some food for thought: you’re anthropomorphizing a machine, it doesn’t understand like humans do It’s not going to learn more ‘with time,’ either

I usually hate Microsoft tools but, vcpkg works really well. Easy enough to use from a couple of build systems, too Can't comment on Conan but, I hear it's nice

That, plus deadlines forcing some sloppy coding, projects changing hands and, then... boom! Someone forgot to add something to the move constructor and now you dropped an allocation on the floor
