In my Python programming, I have found that ChatGPT makes me something like 10x more productive. From learning to use a new API to tracking debugging, and especially things finding errors in my code from stack traces. Getting results goes S

Son of a gun! I've been working at SUSE for a bit of a year, and a lot of the positive things people say here still ring true, at least to me.

$4.99 impulse buy. I bought a pdf to put on my remarkable 2 for my next plane trip. I hope that doing it this way doesn't violate the spirit of using paper :)

In my experience, issues like this occur when people project ethical standards onto projects when those ethical standards are not embedded in the license. In my view, if you believe it is unethical for someone to re-license your Apache code

I would argue that there are good business to be built on top of AWS and Azure catering to the users of those services, and very little chance that Amazon or Microsoft would pull the rug out from under you based on their track records.

I pay for ad-free YouTube. I also pay for a ton of extra storage in Google drive. I find the constantly closing down and shifting of services to be a slight annoyance but not really too impactful in my personal usage. For example, moving Go

I am so biased this borders on shilling, but may I suggest taking a look at openSUSE Leap Micro? https://get.opensuse.org/leapmicro/5.5/ We (SUSE) have extensive testing and quality control, if you are looking for

I wish we were in the Star Trek universe, so this was "AI will free humanity to pursue science and art without economic concerns" instead of "AI will make everyone poor and subjugate."

I think that there is an active company behind Superset called Preset. https://preset.io/ I don't think it's semi-abandoned. I had a brief interaction with the project in my previous job, and I found the community

Or developers compile a static linux binary for the specific architectures (usual amd64) and just compile all of the dependencies into the app. You download the binary and run it. That used to be how Steam worked, for example, and I assume

For "reasons" (i.e. I got a job at SUSE), I have been running openSUSE for the last 6 weeks. I like that I don't have to deal with snaps and flatpaks at all. I was able to install Slack, VSCode, Chrome, etc... from profession

I used to ask it a lot more nuanced questions. Like if I was watching TV and they referred to some historical event, I might have asked it about that historical event and gotten a useful response. Now it says something like, "I don&#x2

I went all in on Google home, with the little pucks and also screens littered around my house. My wife and I have both noticed over the last couple of years that their usefulness seems to have diminished a lot. They used to seem much "

This very much matches my experience with co-working. When the time spent on calls went over 2 or 3 hours a day for me, my days became a constant hunt for comfortable and private places to make calls. I ended up making a room in my condo in

Just for posterity, this is totally my favorite movie. I don't even know how many times I've watched it staring in high school, and, somehow, I still think it's funny. Way back in like 2008 or so I went through the interview

In my experience, LLVMs are not about being provided facts. They are about synthesizing new content and insights based on the model and inputs. Rather than asking it about facts, I find it useful to derive new insights. For example: "T

Years ago when I worked at Microsoft, they had a "pseudo localization" tool, at least for Visual Studio, that would inject backwards text, longer text, etc... It was gibberish, but it gave QA instant feedback on whether the UI wou

It's complete double speak, is it not? Any commitment to even mediocre journalistic standards would not have led to this whole situation, much less this outcome.

I am a heavy user of Flutter. Even for simple things if I need to throw together a UI for my own use and then throw it away, I default to Flutter simply because I have become proficient at boot strapping a Flutter project. This is especiall

I feel really bad for this seller. This, btw, is why I go straight to merchants and suck up the longer delivery and delivery costs. The effort of dealing with rip-offs on Amazon was made the experience of shopping their so terrible. Also, i

This has been very contrary to my experience. We have had a fully EV Kia for almost a year now, and it is the most low-drama new car that we have owned by far. Literally zero issues with it (unless you count the slow leak in a tire from a n

I read the original NYT article as well. I disagree with the position that the "AI failed." I suspect that the images were pretty much dead on for suspected child abuse image from how they were described in the original article. W

Environmentalism ends up in such a catch-22. Of course you want to acknowledge that environmental efforts actually work, but, I think there is also a fear that if there is acknowledgement that things are improving, society will immediately

I had great luck with Sparkfun Inventor's Kit. It came with an Arduino, a bunch of sensors and effectors and a manual of projects today went step by step to learn electronics and the Arduino system.
