The older you get, the more responsibility that you have (family, chores, etc) and also you get tired and go to bed way earlier. We suck.

Dumb American question: Is this new guy any better than Trudeau?

I think that ExperiencedDevs still is decent. There has been some quality problems lately due to the downturn but I think generally it has been good.

Look, it's better than The Orange Site so at least that's something.

I don't believe them.

People who can't get credit cards, probably still qualify for these buy now pay later loans. Companies like Klarna are aggressively approving every application, in their search for growth.. regardless of ability to repay

Boy do I love having two nuclear armed states fighting over disputed territory.

Here we go another pump and dump of the stock market for his friends

CVS would probably suffice…

CVS is awful. Even for local use.

Why use Git at all then?

Still need to version control the work. No editor's undo buffer is a complete history of all changes

After Bacon's Rebellion, they created the concepts of black and white to sow division and prevent another uprising where a unified underclass would threaten the aristocracy

It's wild to me because the Green Party in America is (obviously) quite different, but they share the same name.

Sara Nanni, the German Green Party defence spokesman, said one clear lesson is that the country simply needs to have more systems available. “We can no longer think in such small quantities. We have to assume that vehicles have a long downtime after they’re damaged and simply need to be serviced.”

Jesus Christ. I knew the German Green party was flawed because of the anti-nuclear stuff but to also find out they're MIC shills. Fucked.

Put as much of your testing in shell scripts, or even better, Ansible playbooks, so that you can run them locally. That way your CI system just does ansible-playbook

There's a very good Ansible collection for podman, so you can orchestrate the unit tests to run inside a container for full isolation

We are so far from automated luxury communism, and the idea that this technology would actually move us closer, is laughable. I honestly don't believe that any technology has actually moved us closer to Communism. They seem to actually just concentrate more and more power in fewer and fewer hands.

Look if you want your fun little tech fetish, go right ahead, but don't claim that LLMs are making the world better.

I watched the "Computer Revolution" and how it was going to fix EVERYTHING. It was going to transform the world.

All it did was just make a couple thousand people, more rich than was possible before.

All we are going to see is this buggy, hallucinating, flawed God take over everything, and like a mad God, it will make incomprehensible demands and pronouncements, and we'll all be forced to obey them, while a handful of billionaires cook the planet and extract all the value, then we all die.

It's the stupidest fucking outcome, and every person who keeps being a booster for LLMs and masks their little freakish obsession with them with flowerly marxist language makes me sick.

"actually it's good that artists, programmers, and writers are being proletarianized, replaced with a shitty hallucinatin LLM that can't actually do the work, but can bullshit it enough that management thinks they can layoff everyone and just pocket the savings"

Jesus Christ.

"Yes but we need the LLMs to destroy everyone's livelihoods so that we can have our secular version of a Rapture (violent revolution where a bunch of people who never fucking shoot guns (the SRA is a joke) win against a superior force) and finally achieve fully automated luxury Communism"

Completely delusional

I have a background in virtual screening software, where we just brute forced every compound that was commercially viable to produce (ZINC database) to see if it would bind to a cell receptor.

Having a new way to throw shit at the wall and see what sticks does not impress me.
