I mean, even Valve has tried it in the past, and it was a failure. Look up Steam Machines from 2010s. I consider the success of Steam Deck (thanks to flawless execution this time) …

It's not very crazy to me. Most corporate teams are overrun with feature creep that "is very simple" (i.e. it takes 3x as long as estimated, because the codebase is a mixture of ov…

When debugging multi-threaded env with debugpy & VSCode, VSCode jumps to code that is active in currently active thread. Is DAP something different? From briefly looking at the doc…

So, IIUIC, new capabilities: - It'll be possible to print stack traces without modifying or stopping the program. - It'll be possible to exec into a program at runtime without modi…

It's probably docs... If it can hallucinate an answer, it's docs with probably the most infuriating UX one can imagine. I remember being taught that no docs is better (i.e. less fr…

> I am curious what they’ll show off at WWDC this year Apparently, not much is planned, per [1]. I'd be very cautious about AI agents like these; from a user level, this has so man…

In a very simplistic way: - Smoking brings cancer and damages lungs. - Vaping damages lungs (more research needed on other possible conditions). - Nicotine pouches damage teeth. I …

Ah well that explains things, I have a one-page Europass CV.

Why would it be considered a negative flag? I've been using it my whole professional life (~15 years, multiple jobs) and never had an issue with it. It's just a PDF in the end.

That's why you rotate everyone, not just those that "volunteer"... This way, you're spreading knowledge to everyone, e.g. if I'm forced to deal with an issue on code you wrote, I'm…

In my company, we rotate every 5 months. So every 6th month, I get put into the customer-facing team for 1 month. Every other month, a different team member is on the customer-faci…

Presumably, if US already has all of the minerals it needs, the minerals' deal is going to do as much good as is current status quo. After all, why would the US get involved when t…

This looks horrible for anything but personal scripts/projects. For anything close to production purposes, this seems like a nightmare.

Wouldn't this be very well mitigated by the use of an air purifier?

Honestly, I'm still not sure how I feel about Red Hat/IBM's journey. On one hand, RH killed (i.e. "gave to IBM to rot away") a lot of products I liked (recently, the whole JBoss st…

What is the actual engineering discipline that goes into creating prompts? Other than providing more context, hacking the data with keywords like "please", etc?

Oh wow, thanks for this, had no idea there's a credit limit. More annoying to me is that you have to use up your credits before cancelling your sub. If you have credits and you can…

With the advent of various car renting apps, I was so excited about not owning a car, and basically using just-in-time renting option. Turns out, at least in my part of the world (…

To be honest, it's insane to me that there's no law about this. If you're a subscription business and you see 0 activity on a paying customer for 60 days, you should be required to…

If the streaming services did this, I'd probably have pretty much all of them. Then, instead of paying monthly, you essentially have a tab open with everyone, and you pay for whate…

Of course, but you're forgetting the context. In your world, OP's comment must be simply nonsense. The sun is warm.

Ah yes, I'd like three cake please, and 5 cup of coffee.

In my mind, LLMs are lowering the barrier of searching in the same way Google did in the early 2000s. Back then, you had to very specifically tailor your search key words, not use …
