In my experience, this kind of thing is exactly what LLMs are good at, and fast at. Here's a real example from my job as a BI dev. I needed to figure out how to get counts of incoming products from an ERP with a 1000+ table database sc

Microsoft and Google have traded places in this regard.

This happened to my wife. It was torture for her for the first year. It's been almost 3 years now and she's just barely starting to enjoy food again. Most things taste fairly normal for her, but a few things, like mint, onions, an

Indeed. Wanting things to be dead simple and not need to be fiddled with constantly and take months to learn how to set up is the big brained move. Same reason I switched to an iPhone. I don't have time to nerd out and customize Androi

This is great advice, and applies to business as well. Make something people actually want.

I can have discipline, if I'm doing something for a purpose. Losing weight, getting a job, etc. My problem I always lose what the purpose of my solo project is. Or, I shoot so many holes in my own idea that I can't imagine it bein

I have the same problem. I see all these hackers out there making (something like) the millionth travel blog and sticking with it for years and somehow ending up making a decent income off of it. But I'm sitting here wondering if my po

So every 45 days, the CPPA will tell these companies to delete your data. I wonder how many people realize that that means the CPPA or these companies have to keep a record of some of your PII, so that they can look you up and delete you fr

No, that’s not what I meant. I’m talking about reading books and lasting life changing things from them, and GP is right, I can guarantee the thing I have in mind probably won’t mean anything to you.

I very much disagree. Some of the biggest changes in my life were driven by the reading or hearing of a few words which suddenly made everything click. These moments led to huge behavior changes.

I don’t know why people suggest Pandora as an alternative to Spotify. They’re completely different things. Unless something has changed in the last few years Pandora doesn’t let you listen to albums, or even songs by a single artist. It’s l

IDK, I wouldn't be able to be distracted from the fact that I'm working for Lord Sauron.

I played MI1 for the first time last year and I can tell you it's not just nostalgia. It's just a freaking great game.

I had the exact opposite and it was hilarious. Every time my manager (a great guy and really good at what he did) was away for a week the sprint would go very smoothly.

Bravo. Yeah, I learned my lesson.

I was that guy too at one job. It was wonderful to work on a few F# projects, but I have no doubt they quickly went away after I left.

I use D every day at work (inherited codebase) and the UFCS bothers me to no end. I try not to use it.

If the aiming in this was only on the x axis, then what you said makes sense. Otherwise, I agree with OP, hitboxes are off.

Thank you, you're right. That's an important detail. I haven't tried any Flutter mobile apps, afaik.

My guess is it's a Microsoft shop where the most used technology was ASP.NET Webforms and then later Angular. They saw that Telerik (a favorite of enterprisey MS shops) had a cross-platform app framework based on Angular, and they deci

You don't even need to do that! 6 years ago, I was exploring cross-platform mobile options (RN wasn't available for Android yet, also it was brand new and not to be trusted. It turned out OK in the end though.) and Native Script w

I still do this on Spotify. Scroll through the new releases and if a cover looks interesting, I give it a listen. Having grown up in record stores, I love that I can listen to anything instantly. It's pretty insane actually.

Let me just say, it's nice to see a sane comment every once in a while. The world seems to have gone completely off the deep end and is throwing itself at the mercy of petty authoritarian bureaucrats.

IAM is never fun, even if you work with it a lot. You always end up forgetting something and, come security audit time, you find out that people have been creating tons of policies that are just like "s3::*"

I have decent knowledge of those tools and I'd still rather use Heroku for a simple production app.

The title you came up with makes WAY more sense than the actual article. Now I understand what they're doing and that's honestly pretty cool. They just need a better writer.

I've been working on a game and I've realized it's still all just a bunch of tricks. I think any art where you're trying to recreate/honor something in the real world in some way is all tricks and techniques. Everyt

The major flaw in this article's analysis is that in the opening scene with the trolls, the Papa troll tells Elsa to use her powers wisely and not give into fear, etc. It's Elsa own father who instills the fear. I thought this art

I agree. Something I've begun to notice this year with the pandemic panic is that religion is everywhere. It may not be called religion by most people, but it has all the marks, devotion ("follow the science/experts", &q
