Can we move on to the next grift yet?

True, but what percentage of phone owners will actually do this. Less than a fraction of a percent? The remaining 99 percent chuck their phone in a landfill when it gets slow.

If you give an LLM a word problem that involves the same math and change the names of the people in the word problem the LLM will likely generate different mathematical results. Wi…

I find LLM’s to be much worse than the junior engineers I work with. I have tried copilot and I always end up disabling it because it’s often wrong and annoying. Just read the docs…

Dog no they don’t lol. My family has been in both ecosystems over the years and by far the iPhones outlast the Android phones they buy both in quality and in updates.

Yeah, it’s annoying, but the polyfill is like 3 lines.

I think that would probably fall outside the norm. My information might be outdated, but I was under the impression that JavaScript usually wins in most algorithm benchmarks becaus…

I literally use BigInt on the backend every single day at work lol.

I’m really tired of this discourse. The JavaScript ecosystem is the lingua franca of the web. Furthermore, while a segment of the programming community has sat around complaining, …

WASM is slower than running JavaScript on V8 in almost all scenarios and will likely continue to be for a very long time. Also, many of us don’t want a compile step.

The US government needs to fast track breaking up Google asap. Chrome needs to be torn from their festering lich hands, so that the web can be free of their self serving, and frank…

I gave up a few years ago and decided that I was willing to deal with any drawbacks of buying and playing games on consoles rather than dealing with Windows. I only have so much ti…

Insurance companies are best incentivized and informed to make themselves a requirement, take your money, and then resist all efforts to actually pay you when you need them.

Yes, and that rethink should be that insurance of all forms is a racket.

I live 2 hours away from the mountains of North Carolina. I grew up in the foothills. You have no idea what you are talking about. People aren’t rebuilding here, “over and over.” T…

McDonald’s art.

These projects really need to start standing up their own Gitea or Gitlab instances and mirroring to GitHub. It also cracks me up every time I see legalistic apologists on this web…

No I haven’t because it’s quite complicated. Databases are very much a solved problem. Unfortunately, this architecture is going to be nigh impossible to hire for and when it goes …

I’m honestly not sure what you are talking about. In my experience, Redis is super easy to run and manage in production.

We didn’t want to build something complicated, so we implemented our own raft consensus layer. Have you considered just using Redis?

It’s unfortunate, but they have to curb rampant shoplifting somehow. I can’t think of a better solution off the top of my head.

Natural gas from the county.

I have a fan with 5 speeds that sucks a lot of air. The stove is on an exterior wall and vents directly to the side of my house. I’m not really concerned about it.
