AI AII AIII AIV AV ...

I wonder if when one goes down, activity shifts to others, in turn pushing them over a threshold.

I recently went through most of the Spotify clients I could find on GitHub, looking for something "lean", including screen real estate.

Most of the GUI apps had something similar to the official app in the maximized window, but none had a good mini-player, something I could put in the corner of an external monitor and control most of the important functions with minimal mouse clicking, including EQ and playlist.

Interestingly this one with its Winamp mode is what I was looking for. Nostaliga is probably playing a part, but it a good UI does not have to be "modern".

I also went through a tour of TUI apps. Lots of interesting work there, but a full TUI with windows was less convenient to navigate, and some of them try to do too much. I wound up using https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot because it specifically does not attempt to be a character mode GUI. Almost like a ViMusic.

Anything with a soul that gains popularity is doomed to value extraction.

Wait for the new TacOS release on Tuesday.

A problem was so many others were screaming about the lack of generics, as though there were not other language options that provided them.

It is stopping some of the adults I work with from learning.

In the case of some management, is causing them to unlearn, forgetting about proper review and maintenance practices.

Maybe a machine that did not require the inclusion of a Windows license in the purchase price?

At one point, I think Dell would let you subtract a small amount from an order when no OS was installed.

I have yet to head that cookie prompts are a sign of legitimacy. What business has customers that would think that way?

Maybe an approach for interactive code reviews with distributed teams.

Nope. The "small screen" at my home has better selection, better and _cleaner_ seating, and most importantly anyone who won't be quiet during the film gets ejected no questions asked.

I would love to go to theaters again, if only some level of decorum was enforced. Too often patrons seem to be looking for a place to sit and talk, not watch films.

> There are software teams over in Munich who spend their days thinking of ways to show me videos instead of improving wireless CarPlay reliability or writing updates to make iDrive more stable, intuitive, useful.

I'm not getting paid by the hour, so hell no.

If I was paid hourly, hell no.

AI Tribbles. What could go wrong?

Project has been around longer than typical AI initiated ones: https://github.com/yorukot/superfile/graphs/code-frequency

I have experience two of these AI "interviews". The absolute dumbest interviews of my career, with the exception of a recruiter sending me to a C++ config manager role when I was a DBA with zero C++ experience. They follow a script worse than a call center drone, can't clarify their own questions, and respond to hallucinated questions. For now, they are an immediate candidate side rejection from me.

Real jail time for corporate officers.

Currently there is no downside for sociopathic behavior. Employment contracts guarantee they earn if the stock does well. If not they get a golden parachute on the way out.

If those that ran the company were actually responsible for what the company does, then this shit would not happen.

The layoffs will continue until morale improves.

You should not.

Jobs are ephemeral, as companies consider employees to be replaceable / expendable cogs in the machine.

Keeping expectations equal makes sure all parties benefit. Companies base their decisions on revenue and cost, employees should as well.

Any past illusions that loyalty to a company has personal beneift are long since dispelled.

Drivel.

This clickbait reads like a long and twisted version of the old boomer adage "Just walk in there with a firm handshake and ask for a job". Yes the job market has changed, just like it has for every generation, but plenty of candidates are adapting, but there's only so much an individual can do against the odds. If the employment statistics are so fucking great, why is this board and others filled with stories from people of all ranges of age experience spending months and hundreds of connection attempts with zero effect.

The author needs to upskill learn and how to write like a professional, or pay for a better LLM. The lack of proper capitalization and sentence structure would make him unemployable with any company or hiring manager I've ever worked with. Including myself when I was a hiring manager.

This is really nice. I have tried, but not quite configured tig to do exactly what this does.

Companies do not have moralities. They have revenue targets.

Any statement to the idea of a moral compass is just a form of marketing when the politics of the day align with it.

The best we can to is have independent moralities, while balancing that with the need to eat.

Because Astral is now owned by a profit driven org, and that often becomes problematic.

Also because Pip ain't perfect, but it is stable in a sense.

Not quite as simple as learning it once. SQL evolves like other languages, across vendor implementations.

The ClickHouse and DuckDB dialects for example extend the language with analytic options not found in ANSI SQL, nor T-SQL, Pl/PgSQL, etc. DuckDB QoL enhancements are greatly missed when not available.

His investment in time is guaranteed to pay off for him, and the investment in time of the people who work for him is guaranteed to pay off for him.

The rest of us have no guarantees, and have learned the trade-offs are less and less likely to be worthwhile.

My org has a monthly team plan, and because I don't use what I would call unsupervised agents, I rarely come close to exceeding limits. I guess I am one of those "chat only users" that so many articles limit my output. A split terminal with Vim on the left snd Claude on the right has been a great combination. Neanderthalic AI.

Personally I'd consider efficient and economical use of AI to be a key skill for a good developer. Using AI for everything at full throttle would appear to be a crutch. I wonder if this will eventually become a hiring criteria for companies without unlimited budgets (most of them).
