That sounds like very much like the reviews I used to get on papers at top tier conferences before the advent of LLMs.

It's rare I have to do anything client side, but I'm so grateful for Clojurescript when I do. I used to dread native Javascript and the crazy tooling, but Clojurescript makes build…

Unfortunately, there isn't demand and there's no such thing as a high demand tech professional anymore. The EU is way over saturated with tech talent and that's unlikely to change.…

This have implications for public key cryptography?

My frustratingly rubbish M1 Air does this, amongst many other odd and annoying things. But hey... what are the alternatives?

Although most terminals (stty)/UI wrappers/multiplexers etc. would allow this as a configuration, I believe ElementaryOS and others are deliberately setup out the box to offer a Wi…

There's not really an issue with planning. The actual problem is that developers will then sit on that land rather than build on it, as this is more valuable long term. See "land b…

I don't have a BMW, so I may be wrong, but from the comments it sounds as though: 1) physical access gives remote privileged access - this is a car, not a server! We don't lock car…

I'm baffled how we've come to accept such poor quality software in our products and key services. We seem to shrug off software issues that would deter purchase if they were materi…

Really?

I just wanted to second the previous comment, and this is even for adjacent fields. Also a PhD AI/ML grad, and so many of us are out of work at the moment that we'll happily settle…

Are you suggesting working flexibly (maybe "agile"), is at odds with working ethically?

As with many things in relation to technology, perhaps we simply need informed user choice and responsible deployment. We could start by not using "Artificial Intelligence" - that …

This will no doubt be very elegantly implemented.

Ok, fair enough, "top" has been redefined in our field. PhD research scientists with decades of software dev experience are going cheap. It might not be the exact candidate you wan…

It's incredibly easy to find people, there's a huge surplus of talent and very few opportunities going. You can scoop up top engineers laid off from big tech companies for small ch…

I agree re. graph but I think the definition of "IT employment" is constantly broadening, rather than the opportunities growing. Every job is now apparently an IT job, but fewer an…

don't forget the back hump!

...and the final step where having succeeded no one actually cares and you are now unemployable.

From a car ownership perspective, it seems a huge shame to spend that much money removing most of the character, soul and experience of a classic piece of history, to just retain i…

Diogenes also disliked the artificial and believed humans would do well to return to nature. A car is a key to straddle existing in the practicalities of the unavoidable modern day…
