whats that saying? "i broke in to steal the tv and found you already had stole it"?

  > People everywhere want to strive, work hard and get ahead.

i think you need to visit more countries and cultures because you would discover this is not at all true

column view is the one saving grace of finder; the rest is best left untouched

its like in the exorcist, except the demon is the charity: "the power of capitalism compels you!"

i literally tell it "explain it like a 5 year old can understand" and "keep it under 100 characters".. helps somewhat (its still an llm so caveat emptor)

  > But as this type of task is literally the least liked task in programming, the programmer passes it off to the LLM as well to avoid burnout...

this is my daily life now and its miserable

its an overload spiral that gets worse at each iteration (even while 'gardening' our agents/skills)

the worst part is using the llm to generate the specs/features; its shit from the start and tumbles downhill from there...

jira and confluence come to mind...

at some point we need to stop caring what china is doing and start doing what is needed for ourselves... this "china is doing x so we have to do y" china derangement is ruining everything.

  > But nobody gets rich that way so you end up buying into a worse system

software development is like this too; you can do fine without all the fancy ceremonies and tools as long as you get the basics right, but rent-seeking and consultants run rampant to everyones detriment

your absolutely right!

thats an awesome example

giving ai to children without limits is like giving them leg-braces or wheelchairs; they'll get used to it and never learn to walk or run by themselves much less karate... they'll be cripples from the start.

  > said complexity doesn't go away by moving it to a server.

complexity for the client or for the developer?

  > why do software engineers bother with JavaScript frameworks?

because the dev cycle is much faster for the developer than most backend rendering stuff?

  > Just tax those with high incomes to get it back.

it also has the direct benefit of drastically reducing the bureaucracy since you don't need all those eligibility checks and associated paperworks (and associated costs)

yea, a lot of people claiming "but its a clinton judge" dont really get this i think...

  > Meanwhile China is operating on government initiatives

china fosters intense internal competition though; they don't just create and then subsidize some monopoly... avoiding breaking up mono/oligopolies feels the opposite (and a loosing strategy long-term imo)

ai has been an excuse for people to shove into pr's all kinds of shit that would never be tolerated otherwise; from super long descriptions to annoying emojis in commit messages and overly verbose comments and code that has the mpg of a broken scooter...

  > he distrusts the research on the impact of line length on readability.

whats the reason for that?

i mean, theres capitalism as the ideal, and there is capitalism in practice, so maybe you are both right...

  > Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, et al. have become increasingly hostile to blockers

maybe at some point we should just stop visiting these sites if they are so hostile...

we keep going to them despite all of this and it just serves to delay any kind of alternative getting pickup (not an easy task, i know)

marketing dept says hello...

you shouldn't have to join a private group to get public information though; i think that is the op's point

it is interesting how the early iphone got such good performance and low memory usage with objective-c compared to android (java)

n=1 but my macbook pro constantly runs out of hard disk and memory and the two biggest culprits are jira/confluence/docs and other web apps (like 1gb+ of real memory consumed by a single instance), and the other is dev tools which litters my disk with 100s of gb of caches...

its crazy how our devices have become basically dumping grounds for terribly optimized software

  > his goals are contrary to building a game people enjoy, quality of the code is completely irrelevant

i think this happens a lot inside and outside of games when people get obsessed with the tech or process behind it; they completely miss the goal of the job

what could be the rationale for that...?

  > To handle this correctly you need your RPC framework to accurately communicate retryable vs non-retryable failures to clients. 

basically enumerate your errors, and depending on the type, retry or just return/forward that same "dont retry this" error?

  > the whole OpenClaw thing imploded

has it really imploded... ?

seems like just a month or so ago it was the new hotness [0]

this is the conceit of politicians/elites when they talk about "freedom" vs when we talk about it; its a nice dog-whistle that only they can hear the true meaning of

i forgot about that one, that also reminds me, what janeway did to poor tuvix...

  > quite stupid

years of misinformation and confirmation bias + social bubbles will do that
