there is literally nothing microsoft could possibly do or change now or ever to make me even consider going back to using windows on a personal machine. i don't care if they turn windows into the greatest OS in the world and make it free, microsoft can fuck right off forever
probably literally nothing, just like google and LLMs also have had basically zero effect on patients experiences for the same reasons. maybe it varies by location but in my experience doctors will virtually put their fingers in their ears and say BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH if you mention apple watch data before kicking you out. i had one doctor confidently tell me that "apple watch blood pressure measurements had been proven to be inaccurate compared to BP monitors" and that she refuses to look at them for that reason after mishearing something i said. apple watches obviously do not even have the ability to measure blood pressure and never have done, but she was very eager to lie in order to disregard whatever concerns i may have had just in case.
there's really nothing anybody can do. protests dont work, riots dont work, petitions dont work, and theres nobody else to vote for who isn't also a cunt.
i've never considered testing out any of the new version control systems i see from time to time for the simple reason that i already know git, everybody else already knows git, git already completely handles everything i could conceivably want it to do (and a bunch more stuff that i will never touch), and perhaps biggest of all, i can't tell my manager that i want our whole team to migrate our code into (new thing) which everybody will have to learn for no reason.
serious question as somebody who has never even looked into what jujutsu offers - unless you're a solo dev with some free time, what exactly is the selling point here?
edit: i didnt realise that its just a layer on top of git so that basically answers my question, fair
particularly snoopy culture, yes, stemming from GCHQ, no idea. our government has always felt entitled to breach our privacy and we are equal parts spineless and stupid. average take on this is either "why would you care unless you have something to hide" or "that's a shame, but there's nothing we can do about anything ever."
regrettably the latter one may be correct but it'd be nice to see at least some pushback every time this happens.
i was expecting something dumb if i'm honest but it looks really nice, i would probably use this. it seems like the perfect extension of the "code vomit" speed of writing lua and moves it further in that direction imo.
the thing i like lua for is easily getting into that "flow state" of just writing code without having to think about "how should i approach this" but sometimes the lack of things which pluto addresses forces a level of verbosity that snaps me out of it. i often find myself hitting a mental roadblock where i think "like fuck am i gonna write that much code to do X, i'll just go work on a more fun part of the program and come back later".
interesting that the author blames "the modern developer tooling ecosystem" for the issue of not being able to reproduce builds, it's still a problem of course but in my experience it was way worse in the past, with most ecosystems i've used adopting some kind of passable package manager now.
i'd guess that it has more to do with the fact that people keep vandalising them rather than individuals suddenly picking buying teslas as the one thing to take a stand against when this never seems to happen in any effective capacity for other issues.
games don't cost more to make, just certain out of touch companies keep dumping tons of money into dumb shit gamers don't care about. it has never been easier to make games with a lower entry barrier than it is right now.
wolverines are also fuzzy and adorable. knowing full well how much it might fuck my shit up, i don't think i could stop myself reaching to pet it if i ever crossed paths with one.
it's funny, i've never heard of or thought about the possibility of this happening but actually in hindsight it seems almost too obvious to not be a thing.
no idea where to find it again or how accurate it is but i watched a documentary about these rats some years ago and it said that they're small enough to be able to navigate minefields without triggering the mines.
right but that one cherry picked number doesn't tell the whole story at all. if wages had also risen with inflation and economic pressure hadn't changed then i'd agree with you, but the fact is that an $80-90 hit today is harder than a $50 hit in 1992 because people generally have less disposable income now.
i'm a native english speaker and even i can't complete most of these because it's so US-centric. this is virtually unplayable for non-americans, which is a shame because it's a really good game.
jumping spiders are very cool but god this site sucks to use on mobile. 3
times i accidentally "swiped" to a new article while trying to scroll down before i gave up trying to finish it, at which point i realised you can't swipe to go back/forwards because they've hijacked that action for the stupid article swiping thing. 0/10 worse than plain text on a white background.
imo it's not dismissive it's just the truth. the chances of someone's values completely lining up with the current agenda of any political party are effectively zero, so anybody who fits that description has just picked a team and decided to roll with it, there just isn't any other explanation.
a lot of it is just plain denial. a certain subgenre of person will forever attack everything AI does because they feel threatened by it and a certain other subgenre of person will just copy this behaviour and parrot opinions for upvotes/likes/retweets.
i have ecosia set as my default and use google or something if i really need it, but that rarely ever happens. its not the best search engine in the world or anything but it does the job perfectly fine and does some good in the world, so i'm happy to use it.
so 60% of britons have read a book in the last 12 months, this is literally the most positive news i've seen about britain in over a decade. 60% seems nuts based on the people i know in real life.
nah ai killed stupid tech interviews. you can easily get an idea of someones competence by literally just talking to them instead of making them do silly homework exercises and testing their rote memorisation abilities.
