Usually that false quote is attributed to Blaise Pascal, but I have also seen it being attributed to Albert Einstein.

I am a fan of falsely attributed quotes...

You may not want to hear this, but this came down on you the day russian troups entered a sovereign country, the day your missiles attacked a sovereign country.

Slava Ukraini!

The audacity of those bots these days.

There are regions in Germany (Hessen) where "Azure" is pronounced the exact same way as "Ärger" (trouble). Makes you think...

I disagree with cheapest. If you factor in twenty years build time and nuclear waste disposal, the whole thing is not economically viable.

Then there's a problem with nuclear fuel. The sources are mostly countries you don't want to depend on.

You are of course right with your assessment that nuclear is green, safe and eco-friendly. That's a hard one to swallow for a lot of eco activists.

The first thing I tell the juniors under my supervision: any LLM is not a fact machine, even though sometimes it pretends to be. Double check everything!

It's not. I use vim on a daily basis, but all I do with it is writing commit messages. The rest I do with an IDE or different editor. I'm surely not alone with that.

The "Examples" page doesn't work for me. I don't get further than "Line Charts". (Firefox)

As an architect and tech consultant I mostly advise against going all in on microservices. And when I do recommend them, tooling is never part of the argument. Organizational and team structures are.

Almost the same here. But I have two files, one as archive for completed stuff.

In a similar vein I always try to convince colleagues that the best code is the one that is never written. As a close second the code that has been deleted. It has no bugs and doesn't need maintenance.

I don't think that it's a contradiction.

Too much of any of those is bad. Four year olds are driven by feeling only. Psychopaths are driven by thought only. You don't want the world in the hands of any of those.

It's a good mix of both feeling and reason that we should strive for.
