If these tools get to a point where they redefine software development (they unequivocally have not redefined software lifecycles at all companies I have witnessed) then they will build up dependencies for these tools at the enterprise level while slowly ratcheting up the prices for all tiers. Finally they'll reduce alternative development options and features, requiring access to these tools to compete at a high level.

I don't think they'll ever be so good that they beat a truly great software engineer. But they'll get into the 60th or whatever percentile where they become an honest player in the off shoring conversation.

Before all this happens software engineer salaries and soft power will tank, purely off the rhetoric used as a shield so the executives can avoid the guillotine.

Remember we absolutely cannot unionize because then we'll earn less money. No matter what we must not unionize.
Maybe its just me but I can't figure out what exactly this is. I tried your demo, gave it a Twitter user. And its now generating blog posts in the "voice" of that Twitter user? And this is a tiny first step to... what? I know this sounds antagonistic but I'm just genuinely confused.

Please listen to yourself. It's just a style, they didn't kill your dog. The UI was fine, beautiful even, especially coming from Lego XP — which if you think about it was really tacky, literally an RGB palette.
If you render the repo home/tree/readme statically but serve the JS application upfront with that, then successive clicks into files/commits/diffs will only have to pull packfiles, and then only if the content isn't already present locally. Packfiles are obviously immutable so they can be set for infinite caching, which should mean that even successive visits could be pretty speedy.
EU freedom of speech attitude in a nutshell: when the truth is uncomfortable, you just ban it. Problem solved.
Flamebait headline.

Accents vary by region and culture, not race. There is no such thing as "whitening" an accent.

People of Indian ancestry who were born and raised in Chicago or London or Vancouver sound like they're from Chicago or London or Vancouver, and it's racist and xenophobic to suggest that accents are racial, rather than regional and cultural.
Also there are very cheap prescriptions sites online which ship. You can try different prescriptions, with varying power (magnification) and see which works for you for computer, reading. I found that the computer glasses prescribed were way to strong (all they do is subtract .25 from the first number on both eyes, often). But if I only subtract .1 it was perfect, helpful for computer sessions but if I look up everything isn't blurry
I had this issue until I got a 2nd prescription by a different provider and new lenses. Sometimes lense material etc also matters. Bigger PITA than I thought getting glasses was going to be.

Nearsighted, left eye worse.
Oh, I was thinking clown shoe cars in general.
I think there's just too much money in the way things are set up .

And that goes for almost everything in the United States. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to say food created using natural ingredients is probably better for you than something that came out of a lab. In the name of extending shelf life, everything is just saturated with as many preservatives as possible.

While this is great for something like emergency rations you shouldn't eat this stuff every day.

It's all about maximum profit. They sell us food that's optimized to remain sellable later.

Then this food makes you sick and depressed, so they sell you a bunch of drugs to "treat" that. The goal isn't healthy happy people. It's all about return customers.
This is exactly why even as a programmer I don't own pretty much any tech crap at all. No cloud connected home automation, photo frames, voice assistant, smart lock, wifi washing machine, nothing. The whole industry is just too brittle and unreliable and your money will evaporate the moment some product manager doesn't want to schedule a bug fix and kills the product instead because it's easier than meeting the promises that you already made. I minimise the number of computers and phones and whatever else to what I'm willing to spend a bunch of time updating and maintaining.
"It’s sometimes more effective to approach troubleshooting slowly, thoughtfully, meditatively, even when in a hurry."

Shouldn't this say "... than when in a hurry."?

I'd reply that a properly regulated and bounded bundle of property rights is compatible with taxation for public provisioning of e.g. police, judiciary, health care, infrastructure, education and many more things. If you disagree with that then the discussion would move back to more fundamental normative background questions. Like how can a valid claim to property come about in the first place. For example if you think a necessary condition for a valid property claim is that the holding can be traced back through a chain of voluntary transaction then most current holdings of land in the US are unjustified, since they trace back to genocidal oppression by european settlers. In addition there are dire problems for other libertarian talking points about property.

Why Developers Build Unfinished Calculators
I dont. Putting the decision of who is a "legitimate brand" shouldn't be in the hand of a private company or bureaucratic government. The concept is ripe for discrimination at pretty much every step.
I definitely read about buttons waiting to see how this would unlock the ability to transpile Command and Conquer in some novel way.

Still appreciate the new features though.

You sound like someone who appreciates the costly systems that protect their property, but finds those “collective” efforts inconvenient to acknowledge.

“Property” is most definitely a social aspect of reality. It does not water down its usefulness, or moral rationale, to recognize that any view of property beyond “things you can physically defend without help from others” involves social agreements and efforts.

I don’t think dismissing others good points out of hand is the best way to communicate your own ideas.

Human beings benefit so much from social agreements it is profound. This is not news to game theorists, but some people seem to find it to be a bitter instead of sweet pill.

The question for the animal which creates exponentially more value for itself via many and varied social constructs, than any other animal, is to optimize positive sum social structures (in form and depth), and avoid and mitigate negative sums. Not deny their obvious existence or that our own existence (and freedom) as individuals and a species would be significantly curbed without them.
I will say this: if you're not happy with your current prescription, there are ways to get a more intense workup and better outcomes by going to an academic optometry center. In my case, I went to the New England College of Optometry and got prescribed a special type of contact lenses ("scleral" lenses) which have been a major quality of life enhancement.

They're expensive, there was a learning curve for getting them on correctly, and it took several followup appointments to get the correct fit from the manufacturer, but I can wear the lenses almost all day and they give me clear, sharp, 20/20 vision.

Also, when I'm wearing them I need reading glasses to read up close--my uncorrected vision actually compensates for my slight age related nearsightedness. But my vision is so much better I don't mind at all!

The back story is that I had lifelong astigmatism and 2 eyes with different powers (one more farsighted than the other one) which led to some mild amblyopia (lazy eye) that I've had since childhood. My vision wasn't "that bad" so I got by without using my glasses for a long time. But when I tried using my several year old prescription glasses I found that presbyopia (that age related inability to focus on anything up close) made the glasses almost useless for reading.

Even though I'm a dev who looks at screens all day, I didn't think I minded, but I noticed in recent years that my appetite for reading books had disappeared was partly due to noticeable eye strain, but also due to generalized eye fatigue that I wasn't really acknowledging. I also had to sit up front in meeting rooms to follow along with anything projected on the screen, which was annoying.

A colleague mentioned the book Fixing My Gaze (https://www.google.com/books/edition/Fixing_My_Gaze/Ul16tPVk...) and I bought it. It's partly a personal narrative by a neuroscientist who was stereoblind and taught herself to develop stereo vision in middle age (she was profiled by Oliver Sacks at one point). But it's also a history of research optometry, which focuses on refractive vision correction and visual processing (as distinct from eye diseases) and which I barely even knew was a thing. Which led me to NECO and my big quality of life improvement!

"Lessons, curriculum, and projects are all LLM-generated. You can choose to follow the path exactly, or customize it to your liking" ~ "learn how to make derivative code and bugs the easy way"

if you think you can teach a craft like this, good luck

yes, you'll 100% grab a bunch of attention from people who don't know any better, and who may well turn out to be functional coders, good enough to earn a wage... wait, that's good too (:

I guess, as the "duolingo of coding", if anyone can get a job after doing the work, it's good - as much as I have a loathing and disdain for LLM crap and the absolute trash code I've seen generated.
E-ink isn't possible for either my work or home solutions. I cannot replace any of the work monitors. I do use f.lux while at home, though that only triggers later at night.

My monitor is at the appropriate height (eyes are roughly even with top of the screen) and distance (about arms-length), so I'm looking straight ahead.
Was there any way for the customer to somehow interact with SS7 frames?

We’ve had techs come to our home in Canada in the 1990s, and I remember being fascinated with their mystical toolbox phone that seemed to uncover hidden phone line functionality. Almost like the whip in Indiana Jones.
I think you’re overestimating how many mobile users care enough.

I think the current regulatory regime in many US states allows companies to make a killing off of selling naturally occurring bioactive substances as dietary supplements with few regulatory hurdles.

Kratom, CBD, and delta-8 THC are naturally occurring bioactive substances that are newer to the US market. Both have carved out a pretty nice economic niche with a bunch of claimed health benefits.

A couple of years back, I saw a sign outside a fancy legal highs shop in Fishtown, Philadelphia touting the benefits of kratom as a pre-workout supplement. The insanity that a business was advertising an addictive opioid to healthy, opioid-naive people for better gains in the gym almost makes me want more regulation in this area.

That was true in the past, for a few reasons.

- Floating point operations used to be slow. On early PCs, you didn't even have a floating point unit. AutoCAD on DOS required an FPU, and this was controversial at the time.

- Using the FPU inside system code was a no-no for a long time. Floating point usage inside the Linux kernel is still strongly discouraged.[1] System programmers tended not to think in terms of floating point.

- Attempts to put multidimensional arrays in modern languages tend to result in bikeshedding. If a language has array slices, some people want multidimensional slices. That requires "stride" fields on slices, which slows down slice indexing. Now there are two factions arguing. Rust and Go both churned on this in the early days, and neither came out with a good language-level solution. It's embarrassing that FORTRAN has better multidimensional arrays.

Now that the AI world, the GPU world, and the graphics world all run on floating point arrays, it's time to get past that.

Thinkpad is great. At-least you know your job is safe for next 28 years.
Totally fine, thanks for trying it out.

The idea is this "identity card", which is super early in our dev process. The goal is to make it so you can have your voice as a thoroughly vetted example, and then be able to use that to finetune LLMs, or use it at inference time to enhance LLM outputs to sound more like you.

We'll be building out a full CMS, and shipping parts of it over time.

Thanks again, it's super early but we're working on it. :)
That was it, thanks, I forgot to change it. It's just weird that it terminated the response on exactly the </think> tag.
I also found it a useful analogy. Or rather, that was the way I thought of it.

First I had to think about what would happen if the top bold, instead of rotating around a bolt, rotated around a band that wrapped straight around the other shaft. It stood to reason that the bolt would move backward away from the band, as the band moved along the spiral. (Whether it moved outward or inward ended up being irrelevant.)

Then I went back to it being two bolts, and visualized the movement from the head of each. In one, the other bolt moved clockwise, and in the other, the bolt move counter-clockwise. So it stood to reason that one bolt would want to move away from the other, and the other move towards. So they would stay stationary.
I'm frankly suspicious of the framing of human relations in terms of rights for a few reasons, the first and most important of which is that rights are imaginary things that never actually intercede in the world to make anything happen. Rights are always enforced/protected by human beings who also conceived of them. From this point of view believing in the God of Thunder is more reasonable than believing in "the right to bodily autonomy" because at least sometimes we actually hear thunder.

But furthermore, the framing of rights seems pretty flimsy. Some people like to assert that rights are god given, but people can neither agree whether god exists nor what rights any particular god would "give" if so, and so for a political body that wishes to confine itself to that which is collectively plausible, the only justification for rights left is that they promote the common good. But if that is the case, then we ought to be open to any sort of thing which promotes the common good and the discussion of negative or positive rights seems at best a useful shorthand for certain perspectives.

In practice rights are just whatever the masses can demand from the powerful and while it might be the case that imagining that they are god given or obvious in their nature is helpful from a like propagandist point of view, as a person who prefers to think clearly, I can't countenance the self delusion.
Hi, former pentester here. If any one of your trusted clients is using a google/chromium based browser, the telemetry from that browser (webdiscovery) would reveal the existence of the subdomain in question. As others have said, security by obscurity doesn't work.
If there is a "war" between the United States and Canada it's going to be extremely short. There would not be a need to conscript anybody for it.

The United States would simply roll tanks and troops across the border, making it to Ottawa in fairly short order. Canada would then surrender, and the Stars and Stripes would be raised across all the provinces and territories. From there, Canada could consider itself officially annexed.
Reader mode is fixed, working on the meta tags now. Thanks for the patience.
As long as Europe doesn't get dragged into the tariff tarpit that US has jumped into, I think they'll do much better.

I'm not saying it should silently alias any more than it should silently copy. It should give an error, and require the developer to explicitly copy or explicitly alias.
A stool without a back would be very uncomfortable, but I do have ergonomic chairs (Herman Miller Aeron) which should do a decent job from what I understand.

Honestly probably just literary license -- this author seems to employ pretty florid prose. I'd say it actually sounds more natural to say "towards the west / mot väster" in Swedish since it's more common to use as a noun vs. as an adverb than in English.

If you're in the US, I recommend bokon.se for ebooks -- they're one of very few sites that accepts American credit cards. Otherwise, you're kind of stuck with libraries (if you have one nearby with a good foreign language section) or packing your suitcase. I'd also recommend Historiepodden on Spotify and Sommarprat on sverigesradio.se -- don't really watch TV myself but others here have mentioned svtplay.se if you're into that.

I don't understand this article. If the GPS signals are jammed, what purpose does it serve to have an atomic clock on board your plane? You still need accurate signals with time data to measure against.

Am I missing something?
The article doesn't mention it, and a comment poses the same question, but does this still happen if you have "Auto arrange icons" and "Align icons to grid" disabled?
Super weird behavior for me too. When I double tap to zoom into the text, I get some weird nested scroll bar state and can only read the first few paragraphs.
Usually cavity mirrors would be somewhat sealed to prevent dust/junk build up.

Problem with general purpose spectroscopic measurements is that you need a broadband source and detector. This adds complexity compared to a targeted wavelength range.
Proper screen setup, most of the time a 27-inch screen at about arms length.
The overhead of compliance can be high for people not experienced with compliance. You can either paying the dumb tax directly or paying for expertise.

But even if the line item cost of expertise doesn't add much to overall costs, there's still the dumb tax for finding expertise.

And the inevitable concerns and hiccups that come from finding new suppliers.

Basically, risk and uncertainty and process change have high business costs...it might not be worth betting the business on getting all the details right.

> For example, do all people have a right to health care? No, because, in the extreme, it leads to logical contradictions with other rights. (E.g. Doctors being forced to provide care at gunpoint.)

In the same vein, people do not have a right to a fair trial--in the extreme, this would lead to a contradiction with other rights (e.g. judges being forced to practice law at gunpoint).

> I have to laugh, even as a liberal myself.

Probably not as much of one as you think.

Two factors worth looking at:

1. Base curve. Some people are bothered by lenses with a high base curve. Talk to an optician.

2. Flicker. Lights that flicker can cause headaches and other issues. This includes many LEDs, especially ones from more than a couple years ago, as well as old CRT monitors. “Driverless” LEDs are a major offender. Some modern “low persistence” displays could also be problematic. (I have no idea why anyone wants a low persistence monitor. I understand why low persistence is useful for VR, but monitors aren’t VR.) There’s a standard called IEEE 1789 that the industry mostly ignores.
Not investing and being wrong will hurt a lot more.

There is no backwards causality in the implication that building or preserving muscle that would otherwise be lost can prevent or delay frailty, nor is it backwards to imply that frailty can lead to death (from falls, disease, etc.). I really don't understand what you're trying to say.
