If they charged a newspaper price for it per se (like $1 a month), Google would be rolling in cash with as many users they have.

I love this level of peak satire so much. Please keep it going.

I guess they don't like money, because Cursor is really good and offers a variety of models. What a shame they're being so petty about this.

That's pretty embarrassing. It's such a poor representation of gaming. I'm surprised anyone is still talking about it.

So frustrating. Too many hiring teams seeking the "perfect" candidate instead of hiring for completely valid and amazing potential. I'd wager you're far better than whatever candidate they landed on, because the person w

Sounds like we're gonna need browsers to pop an audio playback permission, as annoying as that seems. Abusive sites just can't help themselves.

But only if it isn't Republicans, right? The Biden administration sure loved partnering with private tech companies to censor and monitor Americans to fight imaginary bogeymen like those darned evil white people who want their own nati

How are those layoffs treating you, Microsoft?

I think it has more to do with the title sounding positive and not causing a stir to avoid controversy, maybe.

This was genuinely funny, gotta hand it to you. I wish I were this insufferable, alas. Truthfully, I don't mind pairing on something if someone needs help and doesn't mind doing it asynchronously instead of sitting on a video call

God forbid a well-meaning person need privacy and solitude to get work done in a meaningful way, just as other inventors and geniuses did in their private homes throughout history, and later came together with others to share their findings

I don't really see how this provides any benefit over pairing asynchronously, pinging with questions or updates on what's shifted, sharing pull requests, requesting comments, etc. This process respects each other's time and a

Yea that never made sense to me. I think and solve problems as I code, and having someone yapping while I'm trying to do that is a great way to disrupt my thinking process.

Even the senior, staff, and principal levels are a wild gamble where you're lucky to get any acknowledgment after applying, even with a strong profile.

To the headline: Yep, and for false reasons they'll have to pay for later, alas.

I'm finding that AI is only fun for people with limitless savings or retirement funds. When you have nothing to worry about, and you can create anything you want, at any expense, of course it's great. For everyone else, we're

The only reason I'm public and use my real name in some social media contexts is for career exposure, so I can discuss my profession with others in hopes that it interests someone enough to offer me a job or build connections for later

Yep, and the alternative is simply ignoring the bad behavior and forgetting about it only minutes later. I've walked away from so many online conversations by simply not replying, and everything's fine. Those are now just dangling

Half the issue is, people need to acquire the same wisdom about cybersecurity hygiene as they do looking both ways before crossing the street, but even that's too much to ask for some people. They just don't do it. At some point,

I totally agree they're easy to dismiss and start to feel cumbersome, but if "protecting users" is their actual motive (I doubt it), this would be a reasonable way to handle it while giving power users the flexibility they wa

Then maybe the best course of action is Google adding a warning before enabling certain settings that help normies avoid these attacks. Along the lines of "Are you being asked to do this by someone else? Be cautious, as your device cou

Their move to ColorOS away from the fully customized stock Android experience with OxygenOS was the nail in the coffin for me. The overall experience turned terrible, and so many aspects of the OS were changed or worsened for all the wrong

Bun's migration to Rust was nothing more than a marketing stunt to sell more Claude subs under the impression it can perform this kind of work at scale, assuming that most who were convinced by it wouldn't look under the hood at w

Surely not likely at all for a gaming desktop that's going nowhere in my home. For business users with notebooks who fly around a lot or spend time in coffee shops, it's possible.

Quote: "This line of thinking boils down to, “Humans are valuable if they produce high-quality output.” This argument dangerously depends on the existing-but-narrowing human-AI capability gap. The gap certainly existed in the past (202
