I don't think I've heard a lot of people say "code was never the hard part". I have heard "Code was never the bottleneck", which is a different thing altogether and is objectively …

Bad faith argument. You know this comparison is ridiculous

I highly doubt this specific person has looked down on others for also mourning the death of their craft. You can't rightly call someone a hypocrite and cite "developers" as your s…

I and one or two others are _the_ AI use experts at my org, and I was by far the earliest adopter here. So I don't really have anyone else with significantly different experiences …

I don't think I'd be a good judge because I don't have the years of familiarity and expertise in his repos that I do at my job. A lot of the value of me specifically vs an LLM at m…

I don't understand the stance that AI currently is able to automate away non-trivial coding tasks. I've tried this consistently since GPT 3.5 came out, with every single SOTA model…

Mockito allows one to write mocks in tests for code that doesn't use dependency injection and isn't properly testable in any other way. On the one hand, you should just design thin…

You can't use the word segregation wrt people and then pretend it's surprising or unreasonable when someone assumes you're talking about racism.

I'll agree on all but one point. The cotton/linen notes feel so much better in the hand than the candy wrapper plastic of Canadian bills. I know it's a dumb reason, but I just hate…

That's ridiculous. Nobody gets healthcare equivalent to a third world country unless they just don't try. (Think, an addict or mentally ill person, which is still not a good thing,…

That's not what the article was about though. It wasn't only a complaint about not using built in niceties of the platform. It was an assertion that the reason we aren't is because…

Why the snark? It's a valid preference and he wasn't demanding anything.

What are your gripes with Elementary? I personally use KDE now, but I used to use Elementary a while ago, and it was very polished

"The ISO is only 2GB" 0_o

And add to that an unsupportable tax burden to disincentivize large firms buying up hundreds or thousands of homes and then renting them.

I tried it and decided not to switch because there was simply no way to resolve the line endings problem on Windows and sync up jj with our git repo

In what world is this an appropriate thing to say to someone?

I'm having difficulty understanding what it means for an attacker to "send your email to a legitimate service"...

All cows are brown. Dirt is brown. Therefore, dirt is a cow.
