It usually does. The argument here is about the proportion of the response.

I think it also searches inside documents by default.

So it doesnt work wirk adhoc venvs, does it? Might still valuable for simply running scripts, but I’m not sure venv-less works for dev

I agree with the first part. For me, AI art is the chance to have a somewhat creative outlet that I wouldn’t have otherwise, because I’m much worse at painting that I can stand. Drawing by prompts helps me be creative and work through some stuff - for that it’s also nice and interesting to see that the result differs from my mental image. I will tweak the prompt to some extent and to some extent go with some unintentioned elements of the drawing. I keep the drawing on my phone in the notes app with a title and the prompt.

To get back to the beginning: I really do agree that the societal impact on the whole appears to be negative. But there are some positives and I wanted to share my example of that.

I‘d call this politics instead of social dynamics and argue that its importance differs across companies, but generally. I’d agree though that I also don’t find this out of the norm (in those specific circumstances)

Really interesting. I always put bad estimates down to individual biases, not something more systematic. I’d be really curious to see if this also is true for bigger tasks and whether it changed over time (at least for me I can honestly say it didn’t), small insights like there might reduce friction when working within a team or with narrow deadlines

Im afraid this will get buried, but I‘ll try anyway since I haven’t seen this angle yet: I’m at a point in my career where I now feel „ready“ to answer questions on SO and want to help others. So my question turns into another direction: where should people eager to provide help go to? Is it still SO or are there other places?

- Reddit: I only stumble upon questions by accident, and often on mobile where I’m not in the mood of typing long answers or code. - GitHub: I’m mainly here looking for answers myself, is there a nice way to look over all issues for a couple of projects so that I can easily see whether I could help somewhere? - discourse, discord, …: usually framework-specific, so not as ideal/comfortable as SO I imagine

Are others on the same situation? Where do you answer questions nowadays?

I find your post quite interesting - at the same time I believe that one reason those hymns are repeated so often is that for the majority of businesses, 99% of the values lies in simply following them and not thinking too hard about theories etc. there will often be a relatively clear path forward prescribed by the software used, know how, or (where no software is used) ease of implementation.

Im working exclusively with a remote connection (although inside the company network, so some security concerns don’t apply). I have Jupyter running as a service on Linux and am using a password instead of the generated token. So the URL stays the same and I don’t have to worry about anything much. The setup is working good for me - there are a couple of nuisances but they’re all related to the rest of my circumstances and use case, not to anything mentioned above.

Why are you assuming that rules weren’t followed? Is there any reason to suspect this? I’m not the greatest fan of the police by far, but it’s not like this (seizing assets without prior conviction) is a novel or anything but standard procedure happening in the frame of clearly defined rules. Should a murderer run free up to his conviction, even when there’s strong evidence of his crimes? Shouldn’t the police seize assets of drug cartels at the moment they can instead of years later when everybody is convicted?

Probably most of the OS or program-specific stuff they’re learning in school will be out of date when they’d profit from using it anyways. Children need to learn more general concepts, otherwise they end up like my mom suffering every time windows decides to change the UI.

For that matter, mixing windows and Linux might be even better since they’ll need to adapt and transfer knowledge (although this would probably be painful and exhausting for everyone involved)

Personal favourite:

Mark Zuckerberg: “Haters are supporters; hate is a solution”

Not too much info in the article unfortunately, but I’m looking forward to seeing how this one plays out and who was behind this. Based on the fact that a) they got caught, b) the topics mentioned in the article and c) that it’s Berlin, it could be anything from Russia to a random guy getting sent the link by accident and having some fun.

I don’t know what’s what, but to add an opinion: the leading expert in Germany (Drosten, who developed the first PCR-Test for Covid) has also stated in various contexts that he heavily doubts the lab-hypothesis.

It would be nice to have a somewhat more definite answer to the question, but I’m doubtful we’ll ever know.

Check out r/financialindipendence on Reddit. The people over there have the same goals and discuss strategies etc

Related to the last bit: I was somewhat surprised DuckDuckGo is not a total scam because for years it got installed on my pc packaged with other software if I wasn’t paying attention (or the installer was especially crappy and didn’t let me opt out)

I would agree - only that I don’t find many people on Twitter criticizing the trio. The article mentions one tweet (30 retweets, under 300 favs as of now - even after being mentioned in the guardian). Searching to the name doesn’t reveal much - some newspapers and mainly people laughing about the affair.

That’s one thing I don’t like about Twitter: I think single Tweets get blown out of portion quick, mainly because the media report on them as if „Twitter“ wanted something instead of single people.

Never heard of it, can’t really imagine how that would work out in other countries.

Is it a somewhat new regulation? Is it easy to access the information?

From my experience it’s reliable and I don’t muss any features, but i don’t need anything fancy. If you just want lightweight git and control you data, go for it.

Insurance for those cases only makes sense if you can’t afford for the washing machine to break. In that cases, however, it might be the right call

The idea that we are living in 2021 and phone menus are not used to route users to a fitting agent, or that no caller information is available for the agent is funny, but not true.

It might be that your company did exactly that, probably some calls were routed away from you if the topic was something specific. I really doubt that even 20% of the company with a phone menu don‘t use it to route calls or give the agent additional information

I agree, haven’t used it (knowingly) and regularly order from other sites if klarna is the only payment option.

Don’t think so. Personally, more than policy changes I hope to see a store that works as a package manager. Iirc something like that was in the works a year or two ago and might be ready by now

What’s is the difference between keepass synced by X and another service which is completely online? Simplified with keepass I have a) the database and b) an online accessible Location for storage. If I use Bitwarden, I still have a) and b), right? So for keepass to be better it would need to be better (as in safer) for one of those. I’m not sure if that’s the case (you can even selfhost both Bitwarden and nextcloud to have „trusted“ storage, although it shouldn’t matter). But: if you don’t need multiple devices, Keepass is the surest choice.

With that in mind, I’m rolling with Bitwarden (maximal security afaik and great usability - it’s even linked with my iPhone) for personal stuff and keepass for work as I only have one machine I need passwords on. I don’t like Setting up something to sync a file if I don’t need to, so I’d never use keepass for multiple devices

When it comes to my data, I’d rather not have them use it until forbidden. I want it to be not Used until explicitly allowed

You can buy a wd mybook and extract the drive, it’s cheaper than buying nas drives and if you get >= 6tb they should be equivalent to wd reds. You can checkout r/datahoarder over at Reddit, there’s much information on the topic.

I’ve thought about this method. I think this is what should be done for sites where you log in very infrequent (say, yearly). Do you know of any examples where this is implemented?

Gold digger heaven, here I come!

Seriously cool idea, sounds like fun and it might be quite refreshing for the fire-folks to talk to like-minded people, it can be hard not to talk about your passion too much.

Disclaimer: I don’t have any data, so take the following with a grain of salt.

I don’t think so. First, roughly a third or so of the people in Germany are considered to be at a higher risk of Covid (not only due to age, but smoking or obesity). Depending on where you live this might vary, but it’s not as if only a small part of the population is at risk. This is why - even if you’re healthy - it’s an important topic because we as a society need to take care of each other. Second: there are young healthy people that are suffering from the effects of COVID for months. A friend of mine used to run and now struggles with walking for a couple of minutes, he wasn’t safe from the virus after all.

Despite that, the risk of getting COVID is quite low, so theres no reason for panic.
