Im sure you write very readable code, but in most companies, there are a bunch of devs who completely rape the codebase with unintelligble bullshit. The linter is the first line of defense against these bozos, unfortunately it must be enfor

The point is that in the large picture there are many much more important topics with higher impact to focus on. The company wont make much more money by having consistently formatted code, compared to putting that energy towards new featur

There’s no trick to it, you’re overanalyzing. It’s just saing if I were a stone -> no experience, a bat -> some kind of experience. It is not claiming to define the ”something” as you seem to think.

I would say a lot would need to be added. Given the same input, the tetris game will respond exactly the same each time. There is no awareness, learning, no decisions made, but purely a 100% predictible process. The Oxford Living Dictionary

I’ve worked with cucumber for a few yeats and only ever seen developers writing Gherkin. To me it’s just another framework to learn - a failed abstraction. It’s always introduced by idealistic devs who regularly jerks off to conference talk

I have a tiling window manager, I never use the tiling feature, I only have one window per workspace like the previous commenter. Alt+1 is always my browser, alt+2 is my code, alt+3 is slack, etc. Switching to the desired app doesn’t requir

As a toy project I can recommend re-creating the core functionality of Git. Its basic functionality beautifully simple. Checking out Linus’ first commit of Git and comparing it with my own solution was also very interesting (and humbling).

As someone who rows an actual boat once or twice almost every other summer I just want to say that rowing is mostly upper body and arms, with little to no legwork.

This is a gem of a video. Even though this is a parody, it's interesting to note the difference in how C# and Java are perceived today. Microsoft has certainly tried (and succeeded IMO) to change the perception of C# as a Microsoft eco

You raise good points, I agree it feels like it is reasoning at times. Though the brain, with our current understanding of it, is by far more of a black box to us than any LLM. > I certainly don't believe we have a 'reasoning m

Is there a distinction between LLM’s and AI, or do we consider LLM’s to exhibit intellect? I remeber Sam Altman pointing out in some interview that he considers GPT to be a reasoning machine. I suppose that if you consider what GPT does to

The authors frustrations are shared by many. I used an iPhone 6 way past its expiry date. It also became slower over time for no reason until it was essentially unusable. Finally I bought a refurbished iPhone SE 2020 for 200 euros in 2022.
