Well GitHub is Microsoft who bet everything on AI and trying to force-feed it into anything. So I wouldn't hold my breath. Maybe an agent that detects AI.

I have seen that pattern before, and for me it's a bit of an antipattern. Usually you wouldn't look for substantial code there, and in most cases it is nicer to organize your code …

Thomas Sankara said it better: https://twitter.com/Beardington/status/1685213481010667520?s...

US bulk agriculture exports are what keep vast swathes of the developing world from sustaining themselves. Wheat, corn and other heavily subsidized crops are how countries are ince…

The moment I personally really started to dislike him, was when he gleefully destroyed the dreams and hopes of people by pumping and dumping his favorite shitcoin. I don't want to …

"can have some overlap." I would argue in an economic system that rewards the most ruthless competitor "can" is a very nice word here.

Out of curiosity: what do you think your country stands for?

I had a organic chemistry professor when I studied biology at university, who said he was convinced that microwaves split amino acid chains in proteins, thus leading to free radica…

Ever heard of Guantanamo or Abu Ghraib?

I really prefer such factories over the way a lot of tofu is produced (by burning plastic): https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/14/world/asia/indonesia-tofu...

I can't believe in let's say 200 years from now humans will still consume animals - if our species survives that is. I'm sure this will be looked upon as very barbaric to breed rea…

Yeah, diet is at least 70% and exercise at most 30%. Unfortunately.

Yes, to some degree. But what people do when their dogs get too fat? They reduce the amount of food they give them, and after a while their weight goes down. There are many factors…

Does SSE work reliably in mobile browsers nowadays? A few years back when I tried, it was working OK in Chrome for Android but mobile browser support didn't seem complete.

Someone made a tool for this purpose: https://github.com/monicahq/monica "You may call it cheating but considering my poor memory, I call it caring."

When I miss people, I often don't have time to reach out. When I have time, I often don't remember that I wanted to reach out to people. Sometimes life keeps us too busy.

Too bad you can't go skiing, but I'm a bit more worried about plant and wildlife that "thinks" it's spring and then will get killed when it gets cold again later.

It was because Germany is a paradise for lobbyists, and Microsoft agreed to build their Microsoft Germany headquarters in Munich. More info here: https://fsfe.org/news/2017/news-20…

MongoDB is web scale, not universe scale.

My understanding is that when Copilot automatically inserts some GPL licensed code fragment into your project, your project automatically has to become GPL licensed, whether you wa…

Better introduce a speed limit for SUV and ICE cars, and make it mandatory for them to use the right lane. No speed limit for electric cars. Helps adoption and Germany keeps one of…

Burnout is real, but I built a website for the side business I just started and I'm available for react/C# gigs. Come on! Glad that the author got out of something where he was str…

Thanks for the correction, that was what my doctor told me. But maybe I also misunderstood him.

Same for me in Germany. You are eligible to one checkup when you turn 35, that's it, lol. Otherwise you have to convince the doctor a certain check is necessary. Usually doctors do…
