As someone that recently went through an introductory Japanese course in Japan, I don't find this much different than how it's taught. Or maybe I'm missing something? It seems like…

I don't use VSCode, but I've heard that the default model isn't that great. I'd make sure you're using something like Opus 4.5/4.6. I'm not familiar enough with VSCode to know if i…

Why is it silly? Is it reasonable to hold the opinion that DOGE should not have been given access to these systems (note: this doesn't mean that the opposite view isn't also reason…

I think it might actually be worse. I don't think the judiciary can enforce any of their court orders.

This sounds like a potential conflict of interest: PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT: Inspection of USAID's Oversight of Starlink Terminals Provided to the Government of Ukraine May 14, 2024 ht…

It's because people ended up with models that were thousands of lines and difficult to reason about. Out of curiosity, did you end up running into this issue and how did you deal w…

If you don't mind me asking: Do you see a solution, technical or otherwise, to this problem? My guess is there are limits to knowledge transfer that's difficult, if not impossible,…

Good code to me usually comes down to things like state management, code organization, ... Having code that reads like prose isn't a high priority to me, but I'm familiar with that…

I think every subreddit should have created a community on a reddit alternative, like lemmy, kbin, etc. and actively promoted it as a "temporary" replacement. This way, Reddit wait…

I'm not affiliated with Gimp and don't know why they didn't support fat binaries in the end; but I did look into compiling Gimp as a Universal Binary on my own at one point. My exp…

Getting a Silicon build of Gimp wasn't actually that difficult. I know at least one other person besides myself that had gotten a build working from source and published how to do …

> Honestly, if someone showed up with a gap in their resume and claimed that they were doing start-up, open source, etc. for an interview, I'd dig deep into that hard. This is just…

The majority are simply going to follow popular opinion regardless of the merits, and developer efficiency is often not that important. I also think the efficiency gains are bigger…

True liberation is non-attachment. By attaching yourself to doing something that you love, you may be setting yourself up for disappointment. Is this really what I love? Is my solu…

I don't really work on C or C++ code outside of some stuff that I do for fun, but here are some examples I've seen mentioned when this topic comes up: https://people.csail.mit.edu/…

I've never been involved in the game industry but it sounds believable to me. It's not a given that having a CS degree means a person can code, which is one of the reasons we code …

I think there are ways to do this correctly but it has to be more static pages with JS enhancement and/or making certain sections standalone "single page apps". It sounds like you'…

Or just backport the fix

I think a core problem is that the incentives are to give a quick diagnosis and prescription, and if that diagnosis is wrong, move on to the next diagnosis / prescription, repeat. …

I do think it's important to think critically and not just do something for the sake of doing it. Testing well is not easy to get right. If your tests are constantly changing, then…

My guess for the small companies that don't hire is that it's the incentives. If my outcomes as the hiring person are that a bad hire is a large negative, a no hire is a very sligh…

TripleBytes' placement rate was 40% in 2018 [ https://techcrunch.com/2018/02/28/triplebyte-has-raised-more... ] I'm not sure how to reconcile a recruiting company well-known for do…

What was the placement rate for the candidates that you put forward? Based on your statements, I would expect this number to be very high, but from my understanding of the industry…

ah, okay. I think I misunderstood. I was thinking about the case where the data is stored in the cookie itself (i.e. an encrypted cookie), and you would need a way to verify that t…

Isn't signing the session cookie to prevent cookie tampering? You can send a random string, but you would need to persist the random string somewhere in order to verify against it …
