Same, and I don't not really wanna try:

"A new AI browser from the makers of Arc: Chat with your tabs"

say what??? )))

And then make people want to write for (and make money off)

oh boy... I am thinking of having it as an interview question - once someone raises a PR for an empty space it's an obvious NO )))))

I knew a guy who wrote assembler for an 8bit pc without line breaks - he'd just keep typing to the end of the editor line and then continue. And he wasn't producing junk either, he made some really impressive games for the time. That's probably as close as I've seen to "genius."

That said, I wouldn't have wanted to work with him in a commercial environment. It was a way of thinking/programming I could never wrap my head around.

LinkedIn is a vanity fair, and I'm not sure why it even matters in 2025 — it's just a job board when you need it.

funny - when struts2/log4j caused a lot of million-dollar problems, how many companies were looking for commercial alternatives or invested into developing their own solutions? That's right - zero. Everyone just switched to the next freebie.

An incompetent manager would also do the job )

It also would be great if a person doing the interview could take the rest of the day off rather than jumping on a quick call with no time/interest to really try and understand the person on the other side of the desk. At the moment in most (all?) big companies an interview is something that noone wants to commit to and and when they have to - you understand the effort, dedication and focus that goes into it - that's right, none.

it doesn't to be on github or "interesting" though, if it's something that a person worked on in their free time - it's good enough to consider...

old age happened, noble man )

I refuse to use the term A.I. - for me it's only F.I. - "fake intelligence" )

Copilot works fine on eclipse

Nah, messaging based/async operations are rarely for performance benefits...

I think this: "* The technology just got mature enough that it's not exciting to write about, but it's still really widely used."

Messaging-based architecture is very popular

seems to be down...

Interesting, I started drinking much less with covid since stopped going to the pubs after work for non-stop celebrations of firings/hirings/bdays/babies/catchups etc...

230 USD? Thanks, no, thanks )))

If we talk about "stealing" - there was a huge effort to make people believe crypto is worth of investing as some "new money super technology that makes everyone rich", right? Were the risks higlighted? Not really. The richest person in the world (E.Musk) shills an inflationary unlimited bitcoin clone as something valuable (DOGECOIN) - this is fraud on a giant scale. I would love to see him calling out the BS in crypto "industry" - he didn't and instead did dogecoin thing. I frankly don't believe he is some kind of tech genius after this. And this is ok, right?

Do simple people know that they put their money into useless "technologies" that are fundamentally fragile and they are at risk of losing everything as soon as there are advances in computing (breaking sha/ecc, doing 51% attack)? They don't. So, that's really stealing, on a grand scale. This 21 million should be an award for the hackers, really. Unless ETH wants to change the "immutable blockchain" once again ))) noone cares these days anyways

Wow, what happened to the "screw the government" position? As soon as there is a problem with "free money", its adepts run to the police for help ))))) It's hilarious, frankly. tbh after ETH modified their "unmutable" blockchain in DAO attack, they are just full of BS "innovators" and "investors".

Can be used as a bait too...

My experience last year was the USA felt more expensive, starting with the basics like the cheapest t-shirts from Wallmart (vs kmart), beers from a local bottleshop (I was always told AU got the highest alcohol tax so I was a bit surprised) and food places with tax+tips felt more expensive as well.

How has the Belarusian regime been able to shut down opposition websites by seizing their domain names? There must be regulations in place at the domain registrar level that prevent such actions. Are there any existing mechanisms or precedents for stopping a government from controlling and redistributing domain names? How have similar situations been addressed in the past?

It was a project that wasn't going to get funding in the next year and was meant to be shut down...

Depends on their meaning of a "database"

You cannot have a dictator who is not a "narcissist or moron or fruitcake" - this is not how human mind works.

In many of the countries with cheap labor the ones who profit the most are not the workers as you try to imagine this nice idea )))

if this is true won't market forces attract more builders? If there is no promise of a healthy profit (and with growing material prices worldwide you can't keep property prices flat) - there won't be a lot of construction? If anything you need to address construction materials shortage/supply issues.

>> progress forecasting based on historical task velocity, without the need for manual estimation?

Yeah give managers another topic for quick one-hour weekly sessions )))

Crypto is sooooo cringey in 2024...

"If you follow a healthy diet, you can get all of the vitamins and minerals you need from food" - How many people really follow a healthy diet?
