I think you answered it. Everyone has their own moral compass and act accordingly. The concept of “No Ethical Consumption Under Capitalism” and the moral framing of later seasons of The Good Place give good representations of how. Ultimatel

People … say that all the time. *I* say that all the time. It’s true enough to be accurate in 99.9% of the cases; and we put barriers in place when implementing code (like configuring the hashing algorithm) to keep it that way.

I’m one of those weird people that liked the game from the very beginning, and I’ve bought it at least twice for myself (different systems). I played it like 50 hours at the start. I always wanted a simple, procedurally generated space expl

Part of me is secretly hoping / assuming they’re releasing new features as a testing bed for the changes in Light No Fire. I’m also very hopeful for Light No Fire. *VERY* hopeful, but I have to assume all these updates are for their

That’s fine, it has a sustained concurrent players online of > 7k every day for the last 6 months [0]. Few games on Steam achieve that. While several people are complaining about a one-time-cost game with an absurd amount of updates that

If someone is that frustrated with AI, do they not just … switch to not using AI and doing it by hand, asking simpler next-step questions and hand-coding, instead?

But it’s *wildly* unhelpful. Would you talk to your coworker like that? “Half the site is blue” or would you laugh and go, “Uh, whoops, now both buttons are blue, just wanted the ‘Add to Cart’ button.” Either that, or your coworker themselv

I don’t have a specific example; but I don’t like the idea of an author, photographer, painter, songwriter, etc’s familt losing their copyright because their plane crashed the day after they recorded a record. And again, to be clear, since

I completely agree that life+70 is absolutely obscene, as my response to your parent post clarifies. I moved on from that since I thought my stance was clear (14 + 14 or 28 total), and moved on to “we should still honor the copyright even i

Original copyright was 14 years + 14 years - then it was changed to 28. I'd love to see it brought back down to that again.

When trying to describe sizes and scale, having a reference that one of their readers would be able to go "oh, ... that size, huh?" is useful. There's a meme about "Americans will use anything but the metric system"

My guy, there’s more weird and niche indie games than there’s ever been. Not too long ago, even AAA studios like EA were trying super weird stuff, like It Takes Two. Nostalgia glasses are real, and yeah we don’t have a Good and Evil game an

I was going to say a comment about “back in my day”; but your account is from 2011, so you should know what video gaming was like in ye olden era. Did you mod in a Mew, or 256 Masterballs in Pokemon Red with a Game Genie? Why not? How about

Honestly, it sounds like you’re going to end up asking a ton of very specific functionality questions that Da Vinci Resolve and co do in their own ways. Does OpenShot? For your specific use cases? I dunno, but it’s free, so give it half an

I mean, AWS did just recently go down due to a vibe-coding / agent-run-amuck incident, didn’t it?

I think you underestimate the skill of more experienced mechanics. Tractor (as in 18 wheeler) and master mechanics tend to know what’s going on under the hood in detail.

I mean, from my training long ago, a good test suite is usually / always a few multiples in size of the codebase. 100k lines of app code? 300-500k lines of test, sort of thing.

Have you seen many of the replies in this thread and others? They’re not doing that. They’re putting it into production code. Their company’s thought leaders are trying to say that review itself is a waste of time, etc. That’s not “disposab

Route A seems genuinely horrifying to me - maybe not for small and/or helper scripts; but for anything substantial. For anything that bites you or someone else hard when things go bad. I don’t want a vibe-coded, mass-produced diabete

We’ve only been on this train for 3-4 years, and in that period, we’ve already invented terms for this kind of vibe-coded, highly-breakable crud. We’ve also had a few, relatively high-profile in their spheres bugs come out and hurt people’s

Why? You own the pager, I assume. You own the mental hit when something you let go live (especially with your name on the PR) leaks customer data or deleted someone’s work. And if you’re not reading your own work, is someone else during the

So, I admit that I'm finally getting into this "let Claude help you write code" stuff, and I'm enjoying it a bit for the stuff I, honestly, just don't want to write; but ... I still read it. I still review it. I sti

I’m not entirely sure why you’re downvoted. Though I don’t expect “ancient aliens” or anything of the sort, translating from A to B is literally what LLMs were invented for. They’d be very, very good at reading, discerning, summarizing, etc

Obliged means he was doing something he didn’t want to do. Others here are saying, like Ozzy, he might have been doing what he wanted to do. To quote the poet, Dylan Thomas, Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and r

This matches historical precedent in other nations where copyright was not extended to a photographer when a primate took a photo of themselves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_selfie_copyright_disput...
