> I think the deepest explanation is in general economic and cultural factors. I would say that this is very on point. Even during the renaissance "inventing" was a hobby for the a…

I have nothing to contribute to the google discussion, it's been a while since I used any of their products other than google pay, maps and youtube music. The big migrant crisis in…

I knew OOP had failed when we started getting programmers who solved memory issues with batching instead of thinking about why they were loading that much data into the memory to b…

You obviously wouldn't, since it would be happening to you. It's war though. We don't like to talk about it but WW2 was won in parts by fire bombing major cities all over Germany. …

It's not your fault that I've become unclutured. If my wife had read it she would've never thought twice about which Godot it was. Kind of fun to think about how things change thou…

I'm not from the USA so my views are obviously biased by this. I very much doubt Epstein committed suicide, and it's been wild to watch you guys deal with it, not releasing the fil…

I am so uncultured that I was wondering why on earth we were waiting for Godot... But it's of couse because it's THAT Godot and not the game engine.

> However, having a high affinity with hardware is not a driver / computer science of hiring decisions from what i can see in the enterprise software world I think the way I worded…

This was sort of what I wanted to say, but I guess I should have worded it differently. I certainly didn't mean to say that I thought AI would stop improving. If anything I'm surpr…

I'm from Denmark and I've been an external examiner for various CS educations for the previous 13 years now. Some of them teach you a lot about how the hardware works, others mainl…

We're also at the point where you can roll out context to your entire organisation. I created an app for our m365 Cowork and deployed it to everyone who develops software. It does …

Around here AI isn't really more of a threat to juniors than it is to seniors. It's a threat to the people who have been taught "recipies" rather than applied computer science. You…

Usenet was(is?) moderated similar, to IRC, Discord and so on with some newsgroups needing moderator approval for every single post. Also, there was a lot of drama on Usenet. I don'…

You're right, landsbytosse doesn't not translate well. To be fair the literal translation is village fool, which isn't much better. It's meaning would be more along the lines of vi…

> Your most expensive users consuming $1,000 dollars a month doesn't matter in the budget? An average employee cost around $30000 a month in my country. So it would be 3.3% in the …

I think the fatalism comes from having done a lot in our personal lives to live more sustainable, voting for green politics (in Europe you can find those everywhere on the politica…

I think you will find that a lot of people find that to be a feature of the federated networks. It's how society works outside of social networks. You aren't likely to see football…

I've worked with C# for a decade, and Go for the past 5ish years and I think the biggest difference between them is in the philosophical design on implicity and explicity. I have a…

I think the environmental aspect is interesting and worth discussing. Around the offices the common joke is that people will "just burn down a piece of the rainforest" when they fi…

We get UV to generate a requirements.txt and then use the Python and Pip which is available on the official Microsoft container images we use for Azure container apps once it hits …

UV, Ruff and Pyrefy and you're set. As someone who works with Python, Typescript and C/Zig quite a lot I don't disagree with you on Typescript, but I'm not sure why you'd pick Type…

I'm not sure there is any value in knowing shit about AI. I know quite a lot about enterprise organisation level AI, but really, you could just ask an AI and it'd guide you through…
