Would be great if these days would have dates as well. Otherwise, there's little use of "Day 69". If I could see "Day 69 (June 21 2023)"

The way I do it is I try to stand up as soon as my pomodoro timer is done. I do finish the sentence / line of code or write a comment how to continue, and then I get up and take a break.

Wat?

As with anything else, the best way to look at things when you're unsure if someone is right or they are lying: imagine four scenarios:

1. It's true and you believed/supported them

2. It's true and you didn't support them

3. It's a lie and you believed/supported them

4. It's a lie and you didn't support them

Now for each of these think of the worst-case scenario. Find out which one is the _worst case_ scenario and...and this is really important...do not, by any means, support that scenario/option.

In this example: I think we can all say that the worst scenario, however improbable it seems (it's still probable), is that AI takes over the world and kills us all. So just like with the climate change, let's do the bare minimum to prevent that. If we're wrong and, as many commenters wrote here, we still block further development of AI, the worst that will happen is that some companies will catch up. Wow. Really? To me this is a no brainer. On one hand we're risking humanity and on the other hand someone makes some money or saves their company from being late to the AI race. It's like comparing if you'd rather eat literal poo or have someone else eat two apples.

Death is inevitable. Why not accelerate it?

Omg you should see a therapist.

$250k is nothing for a company. It's 1 engineer salary. And, no, it's not $1k. It's more like $10k-$20k per month, plus all the overhead of having your money in multiple bank accounts and shuffling it all around just to never hit the $250k limit.

Just my 2 cents on this strawman part of discussion.

ISPs already offer limited data packages. You don't have to buy flat rate. You can pay for x GB. So why does anyone need to pay again for the same data transfer the end user already paid for?

How about Germany pays Netflix because German citizens are watching Netflix too much and are using Netflix infrastructure?

Ridiculous.

On the contrary to Brazil and Mexico (for example) the good news in Colombia is that people fight back. They don't like crime and so, if they see someone being robbed, they assault the robber. So just stay in the populated areas and you'll be fine. In Mexico and Brazil people turn their heads around and you're on your own...

You pointed it out well - within the context of the rest of the message, these emoji, _together with the Res of the message_, could sign a financial advice. Without the rest of the message, no.

Please let someone proof read the Readme, it's embarrassing

TamperMonkey has a terrible embedded editor. It assumes 4 spaces formatting and some other shit that I don't like, but can't change. I'm also lazy to switch to something else. I just wish they would fix the editor.

I despise, despise, Homebrew's "we know better than you" approach to always installing the latest versions of every dependency. How tf is this fine? They don't even offer alternative. They just say "we can't test all of the packages installed and all version combinations, so this is the best we can do". Well, no one asked you to test my exact setup. All I'm asking for is: if I have perfectly working Node 18 and I need to install fcking Shopify CLI, don't fcking install Node 19 and break my whole setup! Tf?!

Isn't it illegal, under GDPR, to track users without their consent?

There's a difference between "thinking one may be an exception" and realizing that, no matter how small, there is a chance that one day we'll invent the technology that will make us immortal (to some extent).

If we had the same stance for all the other things that never happened before and were considered impossible, we would have never went to space and achieved many other great firsts.

Google cannot make a good SMS app for Android. They will never be able to launch a simple chat bot. What they will launch will be a monstrosity. The only Google AI product that people will use is any AI embedded within their existing apps and services...which is a great thing, but I wouldn't bet on Google being able to launch any new product that would have a decent UX.

And that's exactly why the CEO of Google published the blog post about Google + AI, because they don't think AI is a potential Google killer. /sarcasm Yes, they took the risk seriously and that's great. However, Google's lack of good UX will probably produce a monstrosity of a tool that no one will use. The only usable parts will be what's embedded in the Google Search engine.

GitHub is not supposed to make such decisions for the user here. It is user's responsibility to make sure they delete their private forks if they shouldn't have access to the repo/fork anymore.

What's next? Should we all install spyware on our computers and let GitHub automatically delete local copies of forks as well?

GitHub and the company/person, who deleted the original private repo, should inform the owner of the fork that the main repo was deleted. If need be, company/person can request fork owner to delete their private fork and local clone as well.

Agreed. Every year or two Shopify reinvents the wheel. Ruby => Go => Rust => Node => Wasm?

It will happen again. I believe they have terrible tech leads / managers who push/approve wrong things. They also grew exponentially during the pandemic, so that grew their manager's incompetence exponentially as well.

When you say "people" I hope that you mean "minority of people". Yes, I've heard people saying that laptops will go away. Some people said that. Yes. Some people.

Web3 is just laughable. Again, some people.

Google is obviously not dead.

However, I think with AI, there's a huge potential. It will change the world, the way some things are done and some jobs are gonna go away and new jobs will appear. Much more disrupting than a f web3 joke.

Who tf claimed that? It's two completely different questions.

The issue is not Airbnb or not. The issue is guests etiquette and difficulty to penalize bad/loud/disrespectful people.

I really don't understand why people buy Kindle. I bought Kobo reader in 2015. It still works perfectly and receives software updates. Transferring books or PDFs is as easy as plugging the device into my computer.

You must be a software engineer? :)

Did you tell your family that, instead of asking you "how are you?" superficially, and expecting no detailed response, they should just cut it down to "hi" or "yo"?

This is not how humans work. We're stupid and we need useless sugar coating.

Do you have any source for that claim?

There is no compulsion for hijab or there is no compulsion for many other discriminatory practices that, guess what, Muslim-majority countries impose?

You...talk.

Do you think that none of the people using ChatGPT to get dates knows how to speak?

I'm a long time tinder user. I've many girls. The most exhausting part is trying to be funny to catch the girl's attention in the first few messages. Why do I have to do that anyway fake part of the entertainment for the ladies? I'd let a bot do it and I'll entertain them when we meet in person. Saves my time and I don't see how it hurts anyone.

Wow! I'm a Ruby on Rails developer and I always thought how Python language is more advanced because it's way more popular programming language than Ruby. Thank you for proving me wrong. :)

To let the campaign run, they didn't have to do anything. To shut it down they had to, as you said "put time and money and attention into things they want nothing to do with".

They proactively shut the campaign down.

If you don't keep your 2FA keys in your password manager, it offers much better protection than anything you can come up with in your head.

What happens when you need to change a password on one site? How do you know which password algorithm you're using on which site now?

Why am I asking you this? Because I was in the same situation and it became difficult to track. Now I keep all my passwords in a password manager, my 2FA codes in another app/service, and my recovery codes in the third place that's not connect with the first two in any way. Similarly, obviously, I don't have my 2FA service account + password in my password manager.

Wtf man?

First you claim this is useless, then, in this reply you claim that you've used similar services before. Make up your mind.

Yes, it's simplistic and ugly af. But don't attack the idea.

And, I guess, you got that link from somewhere, or rather from someone.

So it's 30% charged by Apple with monopoly and no possibility to use something else vs 8% charged by Stripe. And you can also switch to anything else. Sure, it's more work than Apple, but freedom is also more work than being told what to do and how to live.
