I always laugh at the people talking about AI "democratizing" the arts and "eliminating gatekeeping" when punk and stream of consciousness aesthetic and several other completely open, completely non-virtuoso paths to the

Yes, I go to so many because my wife sells her novels at them. There's also the issue that there is limited space at craft fairs with wait lists for vendors. A dishonest vendor is holding a space a different vendor could have instead.

I go to a lot of craft fairs and I've been seeing people using AI to make their banners or book covers or detail designs on mugs and such. Here are people playing a "support local creators" line and they won't support th

There is a band called The Protomen who do rock operas about the Mega Man storyline. They have a very earnest, gritty sound. Every time I read a project README written by AI, I hear the voice over from the first track of the first album, Ac

Reminds me of the Shakespeare Programming Language ( https://esolangs.org/wiki/Shakespeare ). I absolutely love esolangs. I've written a fair few in my time, though never released any. Which is fine, they've al

That might be true of the raw, unknowable "true" value of the thing, but that's not the same as what people are willing to pay for a thing. When one evaluates a purchase, implicit in that evaluation is the option to do the wo

As someone with the last name "McBeth," I very quickly got any interest in theater verbally beaten out of me by this particular religion. There's always that one person in the production who takes it way too seriously, legi

Also, does that crab-bat thing have a large, green, erect penis very clearly visible? That was a... bit of a surprise.

... yes. Yes, that was the point.

There was a brief moment when smartphones first came out but the rest of the world's companies weren't taking them seriously yet that was a truly brilliant time and ever since then it's been nothing but downhill.

"Better" sounds like a proportional evaluation, e.g "5x better". How do you get "better" than Zero?

Quite frankly, CDNs are a scam. I will not elaborate because I don't feel like doing free labor for the folks who don't already understand this to their core.

But don't you want Technojesus to come save you from never having learned how to invert a binary tree?

"you're advocating for projects that have wildly different coding styles from file to file and function to function?" I'm advocating for giving up in style as a thing you delude yourself into thinking matters. The opposi

No, to repeat what I said, I think "consistency" to a programmer is like "fairness" to a child: it's not what you think it is and it probably doesn't apply to whatever situation it's being invoked.

I know very well how opinionated other developers are. I'm explicitly saying it's a waste of energy to be that picky about code style. There is an easy to define line: there is no line. It's not a boundary where "over he

I actually don't think it's worth noting. I think, if a particular code standard issue is really of value, it will be obvious. You will propose it and nobody will argue. I think the fact that code standards are contentious is proo

"Use /* */ for comments, not //." I find stuff like this hilarious. No software project has ever failed, or even slow down one iota, because of the comment style. This is just someone's personal "ick&

If you have such a test suite then you really don't need AI to write the code for you.

I have never heard of this. Not saying it doesn't exist, I don't know what it's like to get involved as a maintainer, but as a regular user just asking questions on the mailing list, I never received any abuse.

You are such a typical German, afraid of the law. There are laws that are important like murder and stealing and then there are laws that are not important like jaywalking and being a public nuisance. You need to stop treating the latter li
