Yes; the student project you were talking about. It wasn't clear to me it was _your_ project nor who pirated it. I was under the impression it was a well known scandal from your or…

Apologies, but it would be good to add links for your anecdotes. Not all of the readers of your comment have the appropriate context and know what you're talking about. I certainly…

Similar - realistically, unless you're stuck at home in a city, you can also plan to stop off somewhere on your way back from some event. If you mostly walk/public transport the ov…

Re-migration almost always targets children _born_ in the country. In this thread a speaker of the party is quoted as talking about people who had Swedish passports i.e. citizens. …

This is an extremely far right stance. It's essentially advocating systemic discrimination against ethnic minorities. Ask yourself the following questions. 1. Who decides whether y…

Okay - but that doesn't mean I'm not going to weigh up what you say when I'm choosing a business to support; especially if it's not in a professional context.

Interesting, it was indeed design and technology; we weren't given a choice - we did both for a a couple of lessons each (cooking, sewing, woodwork, electronics, metalwork and grap…

In the United Kingdom, we learn (maybe past tense, I've no idea if the curriculum has changed) how to use a sewing machine at secondary school.

I know of a few shops (names you've heard of!) who are trying to transition to AI-only coding (i.e where engineers must vibe code...) - despite already having a few production bugs…

Not really? If the same value and wealth is being created - the redistribution of it raises the floor as well.

May I ask how long you've been teaching and generally how big the behavioural change and/or timespan has been?

Perhaps I'm mistaken but the project doesn't need a copy of the original ROM at all right? To be clear; I don't really understand the law around this - my own country is based on c…

Interesting; but the GitHub project linked seems to have the original animations from the ROM.

I don't believe so - it's not as though the original prompts asked for extra code churn (note that as soon as you look and edit the LLM code output extensively it ceases to be vibe…

I am anti-vibe coding if that meets your criteria? Reviewing vibe-coded PRs and features has been utterly exhausting over the past few months. I work on critical, mature software -…

Happened to me, 3 days ago - deleted some tests and flipped assertions after outlining that it wasn't to change any assertions. Our team was doing a similar task to move between te…

Yes, according to the git diff and the comment here https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/issues/929#issuecommen... . A change in the sys calls that are used. That's pretty sensiti…

Fixing scratched hardwood furniture is an absolute pain.

Noone trusts a new graduate to do a code review - especially for big or novel features.

Pratchett himself spent years as a journalist for a local newspaper before Colour of Magic. These writing jobs in print media have mostly disappeared in the UK. It's certainly hard…

Then I think you're lucky; I live in a major city (London) and can attest that there are parking spaces where the kiosk and booths are gone and the app the only way to pay.

But someone needs to review and maintain the computational geometry code; or edit it to use a novel algorithm/optimize it. And even if they didn't every line of extra code without …

I'm not sure where you're based, but having friends who are tradies most of the procurement and service infrastructure isn't owned by them at all. Putting in a new kitchen or rewir…

I really don't see why you think trades are insulated; as someone who dabbles in plumbing, plastering and electrical wiring. A significant amount of demand for both is due to knowl…

That's interesting; have you talked to your friends about their changes in behaviour? Is it something they've noticed themselves?
