In my experience, this kind of thing is exactly what LLMs are good at, and fast at. Here's a real example from my job as a BI dev. I needed to figure out how to get counts of incom…

Microsoft and Google have traded places in this regard.

"You shanked my jengaship." "We're playing Connect 4."

This happened to my wife. It was torture for her for the first year. It's been almost 3 years now and she's just barely starting to enjoy food again. Most things taste fairly norma…

Indeed. Wanting things to be dead simple and not need to be fiddled with constantly and take months to learn how to set up is the big brained move. Same reason I switched to an iPh…

This is great advice, and applies to business as well. Make something people actually want.

I can have discipline, if I'm doing something for a purpose. Losing weight, getting a job, etc. My problem I always lose what the purpose of my solo project is. Or, I shoot so many…

I have the same problem. I see all these hackers out there making (something like) the millionth travel blog and sticking with it for years and somehow ending up making a decent in…

So every 45 days, the CPPA will tell these companies to delete your data. I wonder how many people realize that that means the CPPA or these companies have to keep a record of some…

No, that’s not what I meant. I’m talking about reading books and lasting life changing things from them, and GP is right, I can guarantee the thing I have in mind probably won’t me…

I very much disagree. Some of the biggest changes in my life were driven by the reading or hearing of a few words which suddenly made everything click. These moments led to huge be…

I don’t know why people suggest Pandora as an alternative to Spotify. They’re completely different things. Unless something has changed in the last few years Pandora doesn’t let yo…

IDK, I wouldn't be able to be distracted from the fact that I'm working for Lord Sauron.

I played MI1 for the first time last year and I can tell you it's not just nostalgia. It's just a freaking great game.

I had the exact opposite and it was hilarious. Every time my manager (a great guy and really good at what he did) was away for a week the sprint would go very smoothly.

Many Americans are less concerned about safety than they are about tyrants who (as history shows) get a whiff of power and don't stop making rules until they have complete dominanc…

Bravo. Yeah, I learned my lesson.

I was that guy too at one job. It was wonderful to work on a few F# projects, but I have no doubt they quickly went away after I left.

I use D every day at work (inherited codebase) and the UFCS bothers me to no end. I try not to use it.

If the aiming in this was only on the x axis, then what you said makes sense. Otherwise, I agree with OP, hitboxes are off.

Thank you, you're right. That's an important detail. I haven't tried any Flutter mobile apps, afaik.

My guess is it's a Microsoft shop where the most used technology was ASP.NET Webforms and then later Angular. They saw that Telerik (a favorite of enterprisey MS shops) had a cross…

You don't even need to do that! 6 years ago, I was exploring cross-platform mobile options (RN wasn't available for Android yet, also it was brand new and not to be trusted. It tur…

I still do this on Spotify. Scroll through the new releases and if a cover looks interesting, I give it a listen. Having grown up in record stores, I love that I can listen to anyt…
