What a wasted opportunity. The angle should have been “Top secret military plans intentionally leaked to the liberal media”. The MAGAs would have sent poor little Pete to prison and the cabinet would be eyeing each other with distrust for the next four years.
This is rhe same reason I will never buy a house on slab: gotta hammer up the floor, fix, repour and refloor if you ever need those pipes down below.
Whoa I never considered AI inbreeding as a death for AI 🤔
Consistency is NOT the most important thing. Correctness is. This guy has been in the trenches flinging shit too long. I work with vendors and do my best to use the subset of their product that actually works correctly. I don’t want new features to work like shit just because the old ones did too.
I’m not sure Americans can tell the difference
Cheaper & faster development by leveraging large libraries/frameworks, but inability to automatically drop most unused parts of those libraries/frameworks. You could in theory shrink Electron way down by yoinking out tons of browser features you’re not using, but there’s not much incentive to do it and it’d potentially require a lot of engineering work.
Maybe these schools will be forced to go mask-off and drop all their nonprofit academic programs to focus on football, their true cash cow.
It’s not that they’re doing something special, it’s a cultual attitude thing. Finns feel content that they have enough, and aren’t upset they don’t have more. They consider that to mean “happy” for the purpose of these kinds of surveys.
Why is the village depopulated, if there’s a huge industrial zone nearby presumably with lots of employees? I was thinking workers might want to buy or rent low cost housing near their workplace if the land is zoned for it and you could get electric and a well, then build some simple small housing. But if they’re not buying in the village, might not be a great idea unless there’s something wrong or lacking with available properties in the village.
The alternative to no social security, medicare, etc is the kind of human experience you see in a country like India which also doesn’t have those sorts of programs. The disabled or old and poor end up either having to depend on their children, if they have any, or living on the streets begging and hoping for charity NGOs to help them.
And so, many areas become rife with poverty and disease. They’re not safe, clean places to live let alone raise your kids. India ended up full of little gated communities because of this problem.
That’s what America would become without social safety nets.
They look delicious. Like you could take a bite.
Hold onto em in case you get hungry 🫄🏻
Why don’t I just Google. It’s the same data after all.
Try porting a very small bit of behavior into a new tiny library or module that is Typescript based and independently published. Enable the strictness checks in tsconfig - really, really resist the urge to use any, and enforce that any is disallowed in tsconfig. Familiarize yourself with its utility types that really trip new authors up. “Record” comes to mind here, and others that involve generics if you haven’t before worked with generics. Some of the type error messaging can be pretty obtuse - don’t be afraid to paste them into an LLM (or use Copilot enhanced Intellisense) to explain what it actually means. IMO the type violation messaging is a weak dev experience point for new authors, so don’t sweat it if you occasionally “struggle to make the squiggles go away”.
This is why I will never touch Javascript again. Long ago when I worked on web stuff, half my workflow was spent in the debugger tracing garbage to find where a typo was. The industry moved to Typescript, and now assuming the strictness checks are enabled, if some Typescript transpiles successfully, I can be 95% sure whatever fuckup I observe at runtime is a logic problem.
Weakly typed languages were an awful idea. But in general, if the compiler isn’t able to detect most runtime issues (like with C++ here), it’s not going to be the most productive language to use for building solutions compared to smarter alternatives.
I bet that car interior smells like shit
Surprising, considering arcade game clones are already in github. These models apparently cannot be trusted to even copy and paste a fully working project if that’s basically what you’re asking for.
I agree, but for a different reason. Demand for senior/principal engineers is still present, especially for those “third party vendors” you mentioned. But companies are not interested in hiring and training junior devs. They’d rather outsource when long term quality and tight control is not important. Or, for the bigger companies, they’ll hire H1-B instead. There are enough senior engineers to be shuffled around for many years now that engineers have reached saturation in many markets.
And it’s not that all the software that needs to be created is now present and “good enough”. For some industries, that might be valid, but it is definitely not universal. The thing that IS universal is that experienced engineers have become far more productive than they were a decade or two ago because of the large software ecosystem available now. That productivity might outpace what some companies actually can make use of to directly improve revenue or margins compared to their current headcount. (Engineers might still be busy today, but not on things the company considers very valuable.)
I wonder if we will see growth in software consulting or dev agencies as smaller companies find they can do more with less, and only occasionally need more firepower without fully outsourcing.
You don’t need a teleporter. You just need a plane ticket. Living in many countries (illegally) is as easy as flying in and not flying back. For many, you don’t even need a visa if you pretend you’re only there for a short stay.
Idk, the military industrial boys losing all their foreign customers must not be too happy
Don’t they use super statically verifiable code for these kinds of applications? Like, Ada?
