This seems like a pretty good article, if you like to think. Sure the author is a sceptic but not at all dismissing the usefulness of ai. They are trying to challenge the marketing hype and promote constructive feedback and discussion. Makes sense that this is something companies trying to dump their overvalued stock don't like and may even use bots to burry.

In the old days of IRC I fell for the good old ’rm - rf /’ once, in a root prompt ofcourse. That was before rm got some sanity check that would protect against this.

If it's a signed checksum then maybe. But if the og instance is doing the abusing then it won't help.

If I'm not mistake CachyOs comes with Shelly preinstalled now. While it can be a bit flaky with some esoteric aur packages it works fine for most things: pacman, flatpak, aur, even AppImage but I have not tried that.

Hmm, seems like a decent idea. Definitely better than closed tag systems.

I wonder if at some point Wine on Linux will become better than Windows itself.

If I interpret the mac as just any laptop then I kind of agree. The more experience I have gained the less I care about how many monitors I have or how fancy my keyboard is. I do require linux though.

It's okay even fun at first, but eats your soul slowly over the years. Edit: that ofcourse depends on perspective e.g. what you are doing at the moment. I myself moved from an abusive job to a cozy corporate one, it seemed like heaven at first.

Might be just my anecdotal experience but that seems to be the case for basically any group of people. Edit: typos

Self taught programmer here. If your goal is to contribute code. Get the project's code, learn how to run it. Go pick an issue, great if it has a first time contributor tag or something. Try to fix it. If someone fixes it before you, now you can compare fixes. Sounds simple? It kind of is, but there are some side quests involved. This processes will force you to learn the bare minimum to get the task done. Your solution will most likely be shit but that's great, you can only get better. Programming is less about knowing how to do something and more about figuring it out as you go. Google, chatbot/llm, read the docs, ask others. Edit: Forgot something important: Be open to critique, programming is a craft and there is a lot to learn. Being bad at it is a given for most. Also most programmers are kinda bad at communicating so they may sound harsher than they are.

Pixel polishing. A term we use for frontend code at work (all backend developers).

Try a few Gigabytes. I worked on site IT support for a year, we had to max out memory on a workstation because the company database was a, about 3GB, Excel file. It took minutes to open and barely worked, crashing frequently.

Prusa if you can stomach the price, otherwise no clue. I have a Core One + myself. I'm happy with it.

I use fish because it was the default in cachyos and decided to give it a fair shake. I like the built in syntax highlighting and fancy autocomplete but I miss bash scripting and built in commands that replace standard commands can be weird sometimes. I have not tried scripting fish, to lazy to learn yet another scripting language, especially if bash is the (almost) de-facto standard.

Not an Android feature, a Google Pixel 10 feature. It may tricle down but Aplle will more likely patch it to hell before that happens. In my humbe opinion.

I don't know much about compression algorithms. What are the benefits of doing this?

I feel the same about a lot of products, especially cars lately (in Europe). Huge brand symbols and some even light up. What's next RGB? Having a huge brand logo on something feels... cheap.

I get where you're coming from. But as something of an enthusiast myself I don't always know GUI tools for all the tasks I can do in a terminal. Edit: typos

IMHO. This haas been common sense for most senior devs for a while now. Looking at AI workflows there is little opportunity to build up the skill and experience required to become a senior.

I'm not saying this is the best advice, but maybe it resonates with you. Find a non fictional character or any subject that seems interesting. If there is a person that seems cool and has a biography try reading/listening/watching that. By doing this you broaden you horizon a little and that itself should give you a slightly changed view on your own fictional character. In this way you and you character can evolve together and that may also change your relationship with the character. As others have mentioned, joining a group activities like sports, volunteering, debating club, etc can also be beneficial. TLDR: Broaden your horizons. Try to interact with new people and new ideas/views.
