There were no comments. If there were comments for each conditional, it should still be refactored as return a || b // comment 1 || c // comment 2 // long comment 3 // on multiple line

The decline of the US government is the faster than "Europe", because it's been declining rapidly in a few months. The US government currently has a monthly quota for ICE arrests. ICE agents racially profile people and ignore

In layman's terms, it's the age of monopolies and oligopolies. We don't have enough market competition. Perhaps large corporations successfully lobby the government the pass laws that boost their profits while stifling smalle

Why would the Chinese government want to regularly launch cyber attacks against US infrastructure, except it's been happening for years? US security companies and governments have been defending against it for years and have even catal

Neural network research and development existed since the 1980s at least, so at least 40 years. One of the bottlenecks before was not enough compute.

My company mandates AI usage and logs AI usage metrics as input to performance evaluation, so I use it every day. It's a Copilot subscription, though.

PMs wouldn't be able to ask the right questions. They have zero experience with developer experience (DevEx) and they only have experience with user experience (UX).

I believe they are arguing against vibe-coding categorically by pointing out that high-level programming languages are for human expression. It's a reductio ad absurdum against the logical conclusion that follows from vibe coding as a

Software development jobs must be very diverse if even this anti-vibe-coding guy thinks AI coding definitely makes developers more productive. In my work, the bigger bottleneck to productivity is that very few people can correctly articulat

It's not an argument by analogy. It's a reductio ad absurdum on the generalization that reality always lies in the middle but not always at the exact middle.

Flat-earthers: The earth is flat. Round-earthers: The earth is round. "Reality lies in the middle" argument: The earth is oblong, not a perfect sphere, so both sides were right.

This is incorrect. Left-leaning preppers grow food and medicinal plants in their garden, install solar panels, and get vaccines, rather than stock up on guns and ammo.
