Isn't the current economic scenario unsolvable from the supply side in a 20 year time span? Like is ASML going to magically start mass manufacturing EUL machines, the universities magically gonna spit out 10K more PhD grade level people to work new foundries, and some country magically going to make all the infrastructure investments to build entire cities of compute manufacturing?

Maybe I am wrong but the supply side of this equation seems completely hosed from a fundamental perspective.

Hey yall!

Been doing some architecture work lately, and decided to start rendering these using Factorio sprites and factory style layouts. For me, it's been extremely useful for spotting certain patterns and problems.

Am I supposed to feel bad for the cancer juice people?

The weirdest payment method has got to be the Coke ON vending machines that do not support SUICA but instead require you to QR code-IR blaster you to a website where you bluetooth pair with the vending machine then buy it on your mobile browser.

Like....somehow they turned a sub 1ms operation into a 4 minute 32 second one. It boggles the mind

Which is precisely why powers will try to make all these illegal

The oxford comma debate is so annoying because it clearly has nothing but advantages. Removing commas from a delimited list does nothing to resolve ambiguity, whether lexicographically or syntactically.

It's so useful as a delimiter and anti-ambiguity machine, that you don't even need spaces for it to work! See CSV or Japanese.

I have found AI great in alot of scenarios but If I have a specific workflow, then the answer is specific and the ai will get it wrong 100% of the time. You have a great point here.

A trivial example is your happy path git workflow. I want:

- pull main

- make new branch in user/feature format

- Commit, always sign with my ssh key

- push

- open pr

but it always will

- not sign commits

- not pull main

- not know to rebase if changes are in flight

- make a million unnecessary commits

- not squash when making a million unnecessary commits

- have no guardrails when pushing to main (oops!)

- add too many comments

- commit message too long

- spam the pr comment with hallucinated test plans

- incorrectly attribute itself as coauthor in some gorilla marketing effort (fixable with config, but whyyyyyy -- also this isn't just annoying, it breaks compliance in alot of places and fundamentally misunderstands the whole point of authorship, which is copyright --- and AIs can't own copyright )

- not make DCO compliant commits ...

Commit spam is particularly bad for bisect bug hunting and ref performance issues at scale. Sure I can enforce Squash and Merge on my repo but why am I relying on that if the AI is so smart?

All of these things are fixed with aliases / magit / cli usage, using the thing the way we have always done it.

Office because lawyers send docs in .docx format like it was written in the blood of the Benjamin Franklin

DirectX because steam defacto runs on Windows only for the vast majority of games, and not everyone wants a steam deck form

I can't think of any other S tier use cases tbh

This was a fun thing to realize in my early days of programming in Delphi. I guess the author will soon realize why old systems name things ticket "00001" and so on.

In 2012 managing the JVM was a nightmare. Java is fine now.
