“Your tree?” — Racoon, probably

My expectation is that this is something core that programmers should be aware of all the time. Forgetting about this is like forgetting what an interface is. It’s at the core of what we do. At least I think so, maybe I’m wrong assuming this is something every programmer should be aware of all the time.

Do we really need a video about this in 2024? Shouldn’t this be already a core part of our education as software engineers?

The title of the post is “how to avoid if-else hell”, not “how to avoid conditionals”. Not sure what’s your point.

It made a horse sound in my mind when I saw its legs

The same people who didn’t understand that Google uses a SEO algorithm to promote sites regardless of the accuracy of their content, so they would trust the first page.

If people don’t understand the tools they are using and don’t double check the information from single sources, I think it’s kinda on them. I have a dietician friend, and I usually get back to him after doing my “Google research” for my diets… so much misinformation, even without an AI overview. Search engines are just best effort sources of information. Anyone using Google for anything of actual importance is using the wrong tool, it isn’t a scholar or research search engine.

It really depends on the type of information that you are looking for. Anyone who understands how LLMs work, will understand when they’ll get a good overview.

I usually see the results as quick summaries from an untrusted source. Even if they aren’t exact, they can help me get perspective. Then I know what information to verify if something relevant was pointed out in the summary.

Today I searched something like “Are owls endangered?”. I knew I was about to get a great overview because it’s a simple question. After getting the summary, I just went into some pages and confirmed what the summary said. The summary helped me know what to look for even if I didn’t trust it.

It has improved my search experience… But I do understand that people would prefer if it was 100% accurate because it is a search engine. If you refuse to tolerate innacurate results or you feel your search experience is worse, you can just disable it. Nobody is forcing you to keep it.

When is his “if you’re seeing this video I’ve died mysteriously in prison” video coming out?

Why can’t a country choose which services it wants to prohibit? Seems strange, it isn’t an American company.

I don’t really care, just wondering.

GODDAMN SPOILERS

Well, the title is click bait then.

Title: “Linux is the worst!”

Content: if your favorite software is Microsoft Excel.

Feels like one of the few instances of humans doing something about issues before shit hits the roof.

Good idea

The effects of religion. Moral is tied to obsolete ideals and logic is nowhere to be found.

Police in the US escalate situations instead of de-escalating them. In any country this would have been solved after a short conversation.

Hamas are Palestinians, and they aren’t the only ones fighting. Dude, please, just be quiet. Logic is not your strong.

When I say that Palestinians should give up the fight I’m obviously, by pure logic, talking about the Palestinians that are fighting. How can you give up the fight if you’re not fighting?

Give up the fight. Do you think Hamas should keep up the fight against Israel?

That’s a pretty recent development. And as I said, I’m talking about the rebels, not about civilians. Civilians are clearly not the ones causing the war.

Why are you so salty, man? What are you arguing against?
