AI is cool. AI research is valuable. AI has the power to be a transformative technology.
Corporate AI hype for tech fueled neofeudalism is not cool. Commodification of AI is not valuable. LLMs will never substantively change the world.
Honestly this is pretty much it. Sometimes you have to be pretty aggressive to get companies to do the thing you need; they will take advantage of the social friction required to keep you in predatory arrangements. They literally design it to be frustrating so you’ll give up. Like you, I try to make it clear to the person I’m speaking with I have no problem with them just the business. But if the corporations require me to get mad to do the right thing I will get mad.
I feel like you could game this… my superpower would be making a hit album in a day. I’ll just tell them it took several weeks. Replace album with day trading, writing a comedy set, movie, engineering designs, theoretical physics…
Second map looks 50/50 to me, the red is just more spread out. The needs more jpeg probably doesn’t help
What if you found out that free will is an inherently flawed concept and therefore impossible to conclusively obtain
Why not password protect the keys (ala Linux ssh / gpg symmetric encryption for local storage of PPK)
Tldr: New desktop environment designed for PopOS (but usable elsewhere)
Not that I support it but does anyone know why Putin doesn’t just have this guy killed? Putin has lots of people killed and I feel like I’ve been hearing about this guys imprisonment for years. It’s surprising he’s kept alive in prison indefinitely rather than added to the pile. Is the fear it would trigger a bigger movement / martyr him?
The world standing by and watching a genocide unfold is unconscionable. Children cannot be militants nor terrorists. Unless the kid is literally pointing a gun at your face there is never a justifiable claim of self defense
You can write anything in anything. The downsides have to be outweighed by the positives and OP is suggesting there isn’t enough positive.
That’s too bad, I feel like mastering C is the key to having a super solid foundation for all things how computers work. (Not blaming you, most courses just blast through C without exploring the what and whys). There is something to be said for just getting people productive and for that Python is excellent and immediately engaging. Python is probably my best and favorite language, but I think from a wholistic understanding point of view its hard to beat a solid C foundation to build out from.
My opinion, hopefully I don’t get downvoted into oblivion lol: Rust is great for lots of things and its to be commended for forward thinking on so many neglected areas of software development from the last 20 years. I use it almost every day for hobby stuff and have used it from time to time professionally (among Java, python, typescript, c++).
That being said amongst many of its users it has an almost cult like belief in its supremacy and imho attracts some bad people (not all). Because of how much it protects you, many bad developers find it and fall it love with it because it forces them to code correctly and then they can’t imagine that anybody else doesn’t need the guard rails they do. They also see that some of the smartest and best developments in software engineering happen in this space and want to attach themselves to it, and then use it as a bludgeon against others. Lots of very important software was written in languages that are not rust and they work just fine, were able to meet deadlines / be profitable Etc etc. but there is this attitude from many that if you aren’t picking Rust these days what are you even doing???
Rust is great but it’s sometimes messy and not the right tool for the job. The whole “slower to develop but faster to correct” (which I’d say needs some real data to prove out, but for the sake of argument let’s say is true) is a trade off, not something that automatically makes it better. Sometimes due to circumstances way beyond your own control as a developer, you won’t know what the right answer is until halfway into development and there are languages that accommodate that scenario much better (imo). This is one of many of rust’s short comings. For a website, it’s just an unusual tool that even if equally useful from a language standpoint doesn’t have as much tooling and community support around it as other web languages. But I’d say it’s not equal even from a baseline level (again, my opinion. I’ve used rust plenty but I’ve never used it for web dev so I’m talking out my butt). Philosophically, does it make sense to over engineer a super powerful Ferrari of a website when a Toyota Camry will do? Especially when the Camry is tried and true and will likely let you be more agile.
You can do anything in any language, but should you?
I don’t really know what to make of this article.
I don’t know if this is really the case but it comes across a little as “ah shucks sorry we didn’t do so great with all that… oh well too late now, bygones and whatnot, get back to work.” You aren’t absolved lol every day the policy continues its an endorsement that its what you continue to want
The real prions were the cognito hazards we fell into along the way
A bunch of programs that form the core utilities required to make an OS useful.
The Deck is for sure standing on the shoulder’s of giants.
That kind of sounds like “It’s bad because its growing slow. It’s growing slow because its bad” Is there something specific about it you don’t like?
Wonder how much Steam deck is carrying the team
Oh yeah? Name ONE ape that wrote Shakespeare. Go on I’ll wait
