This feels very similar to the register used on placards in contemporary art museums to me so I don't think there's reason to suspect an LLM.

"remix culture" required skill and talent. Not everyone could be Girl Talk or make The Grey Album or Wugazi. The artists creating those projects clearly have hundreds if not thousands of hours of practice differentiating them from

I tried zed for a few weeks because I'm generally sympathetic to the "use a native app" idea vs Electron. I generally liked it and its UX but: 1. VSCode is pretty damn fast to be honest. Very rarely is my slowdown in my work

Isn't the reverse of God In The Gaps just as ridiculous? Just because we have been able to use a materialistic, scientific approach to get this far doesn't necessarily mean it will keep working forever on everything. Using your me

It's hard to ignore when it takes up my entire screen and I have to scroll to see anything else. AI artwork is popping up everywhere and I don't think it looks as cool as people seem to think. It comes off incredibly tacky.

Hello yes it is I Mr. Big Business CEO and could someone call up Fox and tell them to run an article that says "more money doesn't make employees happy, returning to office does", thanks.

1. Not _every_ human is capable of creating a false dataset. 2. No human is capable of creating 1000 false datasets in a day or whatever. The same reason it's cool that AI can make a recipe for a cake or draw a picture of a boat is the

I've dabbled with Svelte and find it pleasant to use and I think this is a step in the right direction. The main reason I ultimately keep coming back to React is I find the compile-time alterations to the semantics of my code difficult

If we boil the definition of of socialism vs capitalism into "who owns the means of production?" Capitalism answers "a small group of people by natural right" and socialism answers "everyone, collectively". The

The article even reaches the conclusion that granting more ownership to employees might be a solution. What an idea! You could make a new mode of production out of this.

We can safely add plenty of liberal democracies to that list if the criteria is "willing to cause the deaths of millions to realize their political project". At the very least Britain and the US.

As the other poster mentioned they're referencing treatment of trans children. They are also factually incorrect as surgical intervention is not and has never been part of the recommended treatment for children. As such their intention

Yes, if I deliberately search for people saying ridiculous things I will find them. Doing so does not indicate a broader, systemic "anti-white" tendency in society. Racism is actually significantly more complicated than "peop

The idea that statements can have the "colors flipped" and be equivalent assumes a context where there exists racial and ethnic equality, which there isn't. A white person saying "I don't want brown people to move i

I completely agree the primary root cause of minority oppression is a societal pressure to create division within groups that hold shared economic interests (poor whites and poor blacks, for example). We historically see cross-racial class

GDScript is fine and I use it but it's a stretch to compare its type system to TypeScript. GDScript doesn't have generics let alone conditional types, string template types, variadic tuple types, etc. TS is significantly more soun

I've worked at two companies using Elixir/Phoenix and both of them treated it exactly like a Rails app and there was no discernable BEAM-y ness about it other than how the library worked under the hood. I asked the more senior Eli

Well to be fair Elm runs on a completely different platform, it's just the compiler is written in Haskell. "Leveraging the Haskell ecosystem" isn't part of Elm's value prop.

Installing the most popular LSP implementation for the language you're using is hardly comparable to setting up, like, an Arch install.

Not really fair to compare the dev experiences _for macOS development_ across VSCode and XCode. I wouldn't recommend using VSCode for Cocoa/UIKit/SwiftUI dev. I'll say that working on TS/React in VSCode is head and

I'd argue that it's not human nature but rather our socio-economic system that keeps us grinding away. It's become obvious that for the most part automation does a disservice to workers rather than liberating them since they
