The data shows that this is the opposite of the truth. There is considerable bias against men in the legal system.

Doesn't seem to help the ambiguity to me.

I find the usage bizarre and confusing, as others also clearly do. There’s nothing wrong with pointing this out.

I like self-checkout lines, as do I'm pretty sure most people I know. And I’ve never met a person who consistently enjoys Uber driver conversation; in fact I’ve often seen it used as the canonical example of a human interaction people hate.

I think I’m pretty skilled, or at least I was, but much of my work now looks like this. The fact is in many cases Claude can diagnose and fix the issue quicker than I can even read it. It would be crazy not to take advantage of this. Of course it does get hard to resist the temptation to just become ever lazier over time.

There are a lot more Americans than immigrants moving to California. And the number of people moving to California combined with Californians’ pathological resistance to building an adequate housing supply is what pushes up housing prices.

Having worked at two big tech companies, I’d say one was the most laid-back, stress free environment I’ve ever worked in, and the other was pretty middle of the road.

I'm all in favor of talking about drawbacks of AI coding and potential future problems. No problem. But at this point just the blanket statement that you'll never use it is not reasonable. It's the equivalent of a master car mechanic seeing a robot that can pretty reliably rebuild a transmission in a few minutes saying "I'll never use that; I'll always do it myself." Okay, sure buddy. You keep taking 8 hours to do what now takes everyone else 5 minutes. Knock yourself out.

> What is hard about it? Young children seem to pick it up with ease. It cannot be that hard?

They do? I've known plenty of kids and young adults who utterly failed to become even borderline competent at programming.

> artificial deadlines preventing me from writing proper unit tests, or the requirement for code review from people on my team who don't even work on the same codebase as I do on a daily basis

I have never experienced this, and it sounds remarkably dysfunctional to me.

You've missed the point. The point is that the women in question demand it. There is no shortage of women on social media ranting about how lazy or cheap men are who want to do coffee or drinks for a first date. Or especially a walk. If you suggest a walk for a first date there's a strong chance you'll never hear from her again.

Practically that would be very likely to be the case to the reader, but grammatically no, it's still ambiguous.

> They went to Oregon with Betty, a maid and a cook.

Betty could be both a maid and a cook. So there is still ambiguity.

What's much more sensible than taking an IQ test is looking at your experience with math to date.

Or more. Actually some of them seem inverted. Simple compiler takes 3 months but a GameBoy emulator takes 2 weeks? That’s not my experience at all.

C++ has indeed added many features that help with memory safety, at the cost of getting increasingly more complicated and harder to work with.
