The bitter lesson.

ears have to be shown to camera to confirm no devices inside own calculator not allowed, there is one provided by the software that must be used

Seems easy to counter all of this. I study at a German remote university, and they require, next to the front camera, a second camera to record the screen + hands and arms of the s…

i and j etc is bad though, but for a different reason than usually claimed. it's suboptimal because it's hard to search for. just use ii, jj, kk, etc

how about "Maschinensturm", a German word closely associated with luddites?

What are you basing this on? The announcement literally says the people doing the work want to focus on the work and not the bullshit, so they are firing the bullshit people. > Eng…

Not nothing - they are doing bullshit. > Engineers in particular have expressed their desire to focus their time on engineering, without being hampered by slow process flows, and r…

Yes, they absolutely are the bad guys, if they are the reason that the Engineers - the ones actually making the product - are unhappy. Did you miss this part of the announcement? >…

Sorry, but the empathy is misplaced. These people working bullshit jobs are dragging down the whole organization. If bullshit jobs are allowed to proliferate, they risk the even la…

I had some RSI at the start of corona from too much home office + gaming, what actually helped was getting a trackball (Kensington Slimblade Pro) for $work tasks. Tried a Moonlande…

It looks like you're not up-to-date, ZGC has pauses on the microsecond dimension. Even since before ZGC was added, there are open source libs for HFT that optimize allocations to a…

Why can't they bill for it? It's not like they are losing money on it, it's simply getting priced into the billable services they provide. Utilities are usually monopolistic, so th…

Android started doing the same thing to app icons many years ago, and I hate it. Luckily there's custom icon packs that help solve this but it's annoying to figure out how to set u…

In Germany it just means it's a bad place to have a career in. Thankfully most HRs will happily advertise it in the job description making it easy to dodge.

No, what he says is "when we write software there are bugs, so we should write less software".

I'm sure there is plenty of movement visible on all kinds of bridges. We also know that all bridges will fail eventually, so the real value is having a more or less exact predictio…

The SQL part as well, it should be pronounced "squeal".

Hehe, the original pitch for this project contained lots of mentions of AI =)

You don't have to take me serious to derive value from the post. It's obvious anecdotal, just shares a story. I skipped some of the details to focus on the topic of Spring. But I t…
