I disagree. There is a lot of boilerplate to write and mundane things to check, which AI can speed up a lot. I'm not talking about 'software engineering' here, but about 'programming', which consists of a lot of wri

The differentiator right now is taste. Most people have none (like the business partner in the OP), and some people have plenty (like you seem to have). These two sets of people will produce wildly different results with the same tools. Two

The manufacturer/seller already employs people who deal with this, and it's not expensive. Getting my washing machine fixed for 10€ parts + labor instead of 300€ parts + labor sounds mighty nice to me. > Manufacturers must also

What, exactly, are the consequences of these companies doing cyberattacks against random people? One person does it, they get bullied by the government into suicide, a company worth trillions does it and they get government contracts?

What options are those? Anything they do that makes ARM better/cheaper for consumers makes RISC-V a win, even if it never reaches mainstream adoption.

For games like Starfield, the problem is the game is bad, it has nothing to do with politics or ESG.

Well companies can issue stock, which is more or less spawning resources, but that's not what I meant. When people with more money than they need want more of it, things get done, including fucking over the customers, the partners and

Resources have a way of spawning for CEOs, why not for minimum wage workers?

I don't know; you can bit shift an output stream by a string (or char array) in C++ (std::cout << "Hello, world!"). That seems pretty mad to me.

Slay the Spire 1 (Java) and 2 (Godot). Ironically, StS1 ran better under wine than natively. Anyhow, there are plenty of native games, we just don't notice, because running them tends to not be any harder than running Windows games the

Can you expand on how you do this? I've gotten into gamedev a couple of times, but never got around to completing anything. Something like this might just do the trick.

Eh, betting houses have a vested interest in matches not being fixed, which actually fixes a huge problem in sports, so they have a use in that. I used to work in odds prediction and the issue is all the shady shit surrounding betting, not

When does steam require age verification? It sometimes asks for my age for viewing a game and I can input any ol' date I want to. It doesn't even flinch if I input a different date every time. I also don't recall them asking

Many more thousands have no issues with small cars or going to a closer sports club. If the roads in cities are wide enough in cities for literal trucks, then they're wide enough for your car. Widening roads and making cars bigger make

We have figured out how to get money to enforce paying taxes and GDPR compliance: Pay them with the taxes and fines. USA's IRS has a famously high ROI, and I'm willing to bet a single GDPR fine for Google/Facebook/Micros

Why not make it 4%? Because the highest fine per GDPR is 4% of global revenue or 20 mil, whichever is higher.

What's wrong with SEPA instant? A payment flow of 'scan code, confirm in banking app' is hard to beat and we're 95% there. And all you need is your own banking app, no shady payment processors required. You lose some stu

I agree with you that generative AI is clearly not fair use. However, at this point, the economic impact of trying to de tangle this mess would be so large, the courts likely won't do anything about it. You and I don't get to infr

Valve maintains a 'Steam Runtime', which is similar to a docker container, to ensure it's easy to develop games that run on many distributions.

Create a few insecure implementations, parse them into an AST, then turn them back into code (basically compile/decompile) except rename the variables and reorder stuff where you can without affecting the result.

I think they should be banned, if there isnt a contribution besides what the llm answered. It's akin to 'I googled this', which is uninteresting.

The steam store used to burn CPU on Windows until at least up to 2017 (on fresh install it would a strong PC stutter on startup). It tries to kill your DNS resolver on linux when downloading games (~20 requests/sec when) which actually

You said developers have the knowledge and credentials (and thus the work) of managing your infra, and a moment later basically asserted you're saving money on the salary for the sysadmin. This is the actual lie you got sold on. AWS is
