I really wish those video essays were podcasts. The graphics are usually stock or AI generated, or just a talking head. It's a distraction for me and when trying to skip forward over ads using my earbud, it skips to The next video which is frustrating...

I cant believe bicycles and scooters are perceived as more dangerous than cars. They're slower, offer better visibility, and kill way less people.

Docker is more than a cop out for than one use case. It's a way for quickly deploy an app irrespective of an environment, so you can scale and rebuild quickly. It fixes a problem that used to be solved by VMs, so in that way it's more efficient.

City zoning.

Oh, i have to drive from single family zone to commercial district to pick up a loaf of bread. Then drive to education district to drop kids at kindergarten, and finally to business district to work. At the end of the day i hang out at bar/entertainment district with the guys from work to have a beer, but there's no public transport so I have to drink alcohol free so I can drive back home. That's only 120 miles in a day!

"import" like it's livestock. Strategically avoiding the word "migration", too.

Clearly it's set to metric time

His work in Breaking Bad was stellar. I didn't recognize him as Hector Salamanca. Such good actor he is.

Using a laser they could just as well send the cat. He would follow the laser just as well.

Until the end i believed this was a physics experiment

Don't confuse store credit with a refund. You're not getting your cash back. You can only spend it on Amazon which is a dick move, not the right move.

Jimothy, of course

Enginecycles? If you specifically refer to internal combustion engine (ICE) then it'd make sense to call them icecycles. It sounds weird, maybe icicles?

But seriously EU has a definition of what an ebike is, it's not just a bicycle with motor, there's max allowed power, max assistance level, and importantly it should only assist when pedalling. Anything beyond that, yes, is classified as a motorbike.

I use it on android and most people just hang up.

But it's nice knowing that companies who call me also have to talk to a robot first before reaching the human, me😊

Unless the fire starts in the bedroom

Now it just looks like it's joined KKK

Of course the code it generates is pretty shit and full of comments…but it works.

If it's shit but it works, it's still shit. You are building technical debt that will eventually have to be paid when you get more customers, and current codebase starts surfacing bugs, security and performance issues.

Before you say it, yes, our codebase is shit, and was shit. We have practically no devops, no real team structure, and something is always on fire, though I’m under the impression that this isn’t very uncommon nowadays…

Sounds like your team doesn't have a strong technical leadership, or they're prioritizing expansion rather than stability. Maybe you're working for a startup and have yet to turn profit? Or your clients don't care about quality and reliability.

At only 3 years experience you are still learning, and it's telling that you can already recognize AI slop code. I feel sorry for you and hope you cna find more fulfilling work that will let you grow, but I dont't know what the job market is like right now. I believe that if all you do is interface with AI all day, your job itself can be replaced with AI, so the experience you're getting now may be of very little value as a software engineer. But who knows, AI is a real disruptor, and being able to review and scriutinize AI code can be a skill in itself.

I doubt your typical apple user will use the usb port for anything other than charging.

If they are going to improve transfer speeds it's not going to happen in the same iteration they're being made to switch to usb c for two reasons:

1. They want to incetivise users to upgrade to a newer model 16
2. They will want to take credit for faster speeds. Otherwise people will think usb c is just faster than lighting they were stuck with for years.

Russia, duh!

I like this. I also like yaml, I've had very few issues with it and it's nicer to work with than json.

Json's lack of support for trailing commas and comments makes it very annoying for everyday use.
