What happened to VERIFYING an answer? Does nobody do that anymore? When I ask an LLM, I trace the sources, and see if they make sense. More often than not the sources don't actually say anything about the topic in particular... > It

The point is that algebraic data types are common in functional languages. "Maybe" is just an example of an algebraic data type, there's tons more. If the article says "functional programmers should take a look at Zig&qu

> you ask the LLM what's wrong, you learn something new about the syntax So if you have no LLM to ask, can you figure out on your own what is wrong? Just by reading documentation? That's also an important skill to have.

They offered a bug bounty, so people think "let me just use ChatGPT to make money for myself". But from I hear it affects other projects too. It affected curl more because with the bug bounty they actually need to invest work and

I still find it very curious that after Russia invaded Ukraine, now Trump is using rhetoric that makes it look like the US is ready to invade some other country, too, they just have not decided on the victim yet. And of course "start a

I actually migrated from Homebrew to Macports after ending up in dependency hell in Homebrew with Postgresql + Postgis, and not being able to fix this properly even with my own brew recipes. So for now that works a lot better in Macports. T

Unlike the IBN 5100 [1] (which I guess actually was IBM's First Laptop Computer), the 5140 ran MS-DOS, and couldn't emulate the IBM/360 ISA like the IBN 5100 could, so it would be useless for John Titor because you couldn&#x2

Try exporting things from Excel to CSV on a Mac with non-us locale. Some genius at Microsoft decided the exporting to CSV should follow the locale convention. Which means I get a "semicolon-separated value" file instead of a comma

Same with programming: You just copy some old code and modify it, if you have something lying around. Same with frameworks (Angular, Spring Boot, ...). The tools even come with templates to generate new boilerplate for people who don't

Don't forget that other manufacturers collect the same data, they just didn't have a collection of blunders that allowed access. No malicious intent this time, but it clearly highlights that companies need to learn to put policies
