IMO it is 100% this - these AI tools are letting anyone solve problems that were previously in the domain of programmers.

I am off similar vintage to the author. I have no idea when Apache first supported SSI , but personally I never knew it existed until years after PHP became popular. I would guess …

Normally I would eye-roll at these kind of self promotions but it looks like you are trying to help with a real pain point of Nix. I put a good amount of time getting to grips with…

It's not a good reason but I believe this happens because voice command has to go to Google server, Google talk to light vendor API, light vendor communicates with your device, and…

Snaps is just the latest in a long line of failed attempts to differentiate their desktop. Give it a few years and they will switch to Flatpack.

Re type annotations, is there some non-default setting or plugin I am overlooking? As a long time pycharm user who recently switched to vscode, I have found pycharm's understanding…

Not aware of a built in way, but if you use bash or similar as your shell you can do an alias like git config --global alias.chpull '!f() { git checkout "$1" && git pull; }; f'

I got into PCs around same time as you, but imho the best overclock came years later: the Intel Celeron 300A would happily run at 450mhz for a whopping 50% increase. I was right in…

FWIW bash supports arrays, and running commands with an array providing the arguments

Like it or not, Docker is the Kleenex of containers.

I don't understand why Computer Programmer (or just Programmer) went out of fashion.

Long time OW player here. Smurfs in overwatch (1) were incredibly obvious because a) each players 'level' - which correlates directly with hours played - was prominently displayed,…

It's fascinating to me how some solutions in programming become 'trendy' and get used everywhere, even when it may not be the right solution. And then other solutions, like the "CO…

I can't get into doom eternal either, but for the opposite reason. For me it is too arcadey - the way enemies flash when a glory kill is possible, the subsequent button combo and f…

Ultrawide are actually still quite standardized. The most common size is 34" . They are the same height as a 16:9 27" and the same amount of vertical pixels - one of 1080,1440, 216…

I agree, the answer list is clearly curated to avoid unusual words. This leaves a fuzzy middle ground for human players: there are accepted guess words like SOARE that can be good …

IMO using the guess list is fine. Since the game rejects words that are not in the guess list without penalty, it could easily have been brute forced if it was not easily obtainabl…

The article is a summary of https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html as it stood at the time. Intel 12th gen is fairly dominant on this particular benchmark right now.

Fwiw if you are an outsider, having gone through this exact issue myself recently start with venv: https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html It is a standard library module and s…

This particular screen is slow even by e-ink standards

Web hosters and the like need stability and don't really care about the underlying distribution at all. Those types of users will leave CentOS and never look back.

AMD has a public roadmap, and (assuming they execute) their next CPU in 2021 will be 5nm. Apple do not of course, but TSMC have stated they expect 3nm to be produced in volume in 2…

Most of them are shell gotchas, and so would apply to rg
