I think a lot of the impressions of AI generating slop is a case of garbage in/garbage out. You need to learn HOW to ask for things. Just asking "write code to do X" is wrong in most cases. You have to provide some specificat

I was an artistic kid and essentially came up with my own distinct handwriting "font". It was beautiful. 35 years later, all typing, I've lost most of it. Now my handwriting is illegible especially because that "font&quo

That's got to be actually useful. I can't think how but there's got to be some situation where that is the best solution.

I'm old so... I remember when someone having a beeper was awe inspiring. "Oooh that dude must be a doctor!" After a while it became more like "Oh that dude's sketchy" and finally "Oh wow that dude must be

Chase will let you but then close your accounts within 6 months when their trust and safety team does their audit triggered by your transaction. It's a well known thing that Chase loves to boot customers for sneezing the wrong way whi

Are personal printers really still a thing? I can count on 1 finger how many times I needed to print something in the past few years and FedEx Kinkos is perfect for that. I'd rather pay like $5 rather than have some bulky ugly thing ta

Reporting the scammers to Meta is pointless. I was bored a while ago and scambaited about 10. I posted stuff like couches bed frames etc. I built up a long chat history that plainly showed they were scamming them reported them. Weeks later

This really shouldn't be a shock for Netflix employees. According to Netflix's culture page ( https://jobs.netflix.com/culture ) They are a team, not a family. When you're on a team you know you can be cut at

You're expecting too much from poorly trained contractors in India who review these reports (if a human reviews them at all).

I fear that pipeline operators will be overused and eventually become a community best practice unnecessarily bloating code. Also I don't see how this const calculatedValue = -10 |> (n => Math.max(0, n)) |>
