I still don't know what was wrong with IRC.

How much were you involved in the hiring process ?

I like it too. You can also alias them easily

    from e=employees
    join p=positions (e.id==p.employee_id)

I 'like' it, I find it easier to read. But I would be ok without them, it's a minor improvement for me.

This is straight out of the playbook though, find out if people would actually spend money on it.

What they don't say to do , is give an actual ship date and outright lie about the timeframe.

Doh

What song ?

VS Code does not feel slow to me , how are they getting such good performance ?

And to your point, counting calories lost 12 lbs on average, IF 10 lbs ... so quite literally not as effective.

I feel like NPR has gone down in quality in the last few years.

Came here to mention Slackware, my first distro and introduction to linux back in the late nineties. I thought they had abandoned it , glad to see it's still around.

IceWM gang anyone ?

They sank 3 ships just recently https://www.livescience.com/animals/orcas/orcas-have-sunk-3-...

I'll allow it

> Why do you think that way?

Probably the same reason that you're such an ass (genes).

> I spent a lot more than 20h learning emacs. It was my main editor for years.

Yeah same, are people saying 20h commitment is a lot now ? Not sure if I've gotten old, or if things are easier to learn now - but a 20h commitment seems like very lite.

Oh it was the small SSD.

I had an M1 Mac Mini and honestly it felt slow. It would often hang and the entire interface would become unusable. Pretty disappointed.

And Latam

What problem did you solve with ASP ? I'd like to learn more on them , but I struggle with what problem to start with.

I think he was referencing building your own marketplace, they will blacklist you so you won't be able to accept CC payments.

Lefty righty, tighty loosey, am I doing it ?

What a great explanation thank you.

Sounds a bit like premature optimization ( to have done it _by_ now ) , I bet it's in the works now though.

Sorry that should have said the cron job is still sending me emails. No he uninstalled python at some point and it's just telling me that it's missing. I'll try to see how long it ran successfully though.

Oh wow they have a bunch of stuff.

I won a Sencha Mobile contest once, an eternity ago, and the website was hosted on the designers server (I met him on the sencha forums). We had a cron script to scrape twitter, and that cron job is still running and sending me emails, and I haven't been able to get a hold of him since.

It's been sending me emails every 60 seconds for a decade with no way to for me to turn it off.

Chris if you're reading this, please clear the cron job on blackspade.

Embarcadero is in the business of milking this dead product for all the juice that's left in it. I'd in no way _start_ a business using embarcadero, it's pretty much strictly for legacy products.

Yes I'm agreeing with you, I think the situation is much worse than that though.

I think you are really overshooting.

Most people don't even know where their water comes from. Most people that drive do not know how a combustion engine works. Even people watching TV are only vaguely aware it's a series of static images chained together to make it look like its moving.

Agreed. A lot of these responses read like they haven't actually tried it yet.

Which is also interesting, I myself actively put off trying it until I eventually gave in. It seems a lot of us are doing the same, maybe its a case of "how good could it actually be?"

> we don't have any good idea how this tech works.

Do you mean the specifics of GPT-4, or Transformers in general ?

Same question. I see nothing in there that says they knew of their actual crimes, only that they might be criminals.
