machomaster··on Danish Government silently drops plan to dump MS Office
Excel is a programming language, so there is not reason why the general programming issues solved by AI wouldn't also fully apply to the Excel code.
machomaster··on Danish Government silently drops plan to dump MS Office
Excel is amazing. It is Turing complete and you can make literal games inside it. There are Excel mastery competitions/world chanpionships and you should check it out to understand what experts at Excel are capable of and why your answer did not impress. True Excel mastery is a totally different thing than fluency in Word/Powerpoint.

Unless people do any sort of semi-serious work in Excel. Nothing compares with Excel.

- Hey, can you please answer my questions? - No, I merely work here.

Yeah, there are people who think that they are being paid to be at work, not to do work, to apply themselves, to engage, to provide and produce. And it sucks to work with those kinds of people.

Fyi. The following repo and it has been getting a lot of traction, PRs, commits, support. Better to use the one debloater that is popular, than the one made by only one person. https://github.com/Gathin23/cleanyourtv

Most people don't understand computers and do not even know what is dangerous and what is not. They won't suddenly become vibe-programmers lest "AI deletes all of the personal photos and will send them somewhere".

> Surprised by that. I expected more openness.

You should read reasoning behind the decision.

The docs have not been properly updated to reflect the changes. Linux developers voted to stop requiring "Assisted-by" attribution.

1. They weren't counting LOC though, but commits. It's a totally different metric.

2. This type of stat was always being shared with each new release, giving a general indication of the size of changes. They did not started posting it all of a sudden due to AI.

Macs, Unix/Linux, Beos - they do not depend on extension alone to determine the type of the file.

Windows does. The file extension determines everything (and the icons can be easily faked) and not showing it is criminal.

This is like MS brings a real pistol to a kindergarten and don't want to put it in a holster. You are the one, who tries to shift the blame and is asking why others are not holsting their weapons. They are not doing it because they don't bring weapons at all, or if they bring, they are orange toy weapons.

I assume that the underlying reason is "badly organized, badly managed, making stupid decisions overall". Certainly sounds like something you should not trust as your business partner.

NT was not for home users. And it's USP was that it was way more stable. Then Win 2000 (NT variant) came and at XP they finally merged.

Gamer community does like AI. Admitting it would cause an uproar among gamers, be socially risky among them. Hence gamedevs are keeping quiet about their extensive use of AI.
machomaster··on How the Claude Code team does code review
After investments. Investments they can cut if they need to. Their daily operation is very profitable, they just decided to use that to bring cash in and go on the crazy growing trajectory, instead of taking it slow and steady. But if AI progress suddenly stops, they can just scale investments back and became profitable immediately. Calling them unprofitable is highly misleading. It's not like they are an early venture company still trying to figure out their product-market fit, with totally inflated numbers based merely on a theoretical number of potential customers (while having close to zero paying ones).

It is not relevant because we are not talking about the bad original CORE DESIGN choice (and in here I agreed with you regarding Unix), but about the willful choice to keep a terrible SETTING TOGGLE. The latter you can change, the former have to live with. Bad design in one OS should not be an excuse to keep bad settings on in another OS. One has nothing to do with another, like I said.

It is definitely very risky among gamers. Hence why all the serious game developers use AI, but very-very few are willing to publicly admit it. They have seen the insane and unhinged reactions of gamers (or role-playing as those).

Tell me if you are using "directories", "cabinets/drawers", "folders" or "collections/projects/groups/vaults" and I can tell about this person's technical background. :-)
