Great, now communists are going after longer lifespans again.

A lot of companies were betting billions on exponential growth, or at least hoping that 2024 wouldn't be when AI performance starts to converge. Language models are still glorified chatbot that can't be taken seriously, and are more of a liability than anything useful. Remember Air Canada being on the hook for the incorrect information its chatbot gave? They tried to contest it, lost, and removed the bot from their site.

Code practices? Factorio is one of the most well programmed, stable, and consistent piece of software I've ever seen. It's almost a shame to see skilled people work in games because of how desperately other fields need people who are good at programming.

When you're talking about security, adding a bunch of config flags for users is never a good idea. Most users aren't going to understand what it does, and like others mentioned, there's too many reasons to turn it on.

Okay?

This is usually caused by their machine learning virus scanner. For some reason it determines basically anything that you compile yourself to be a virus. Can't miss a virus if you call everything a virus, I guess.

I never understood anyone who used such strong language like "beauty" when talking about something mundane like recursion. I suspect it's just in-group language like how a cult understands the meaning of their own words, while to outsiders it would appear nonsensical. I have seen other groups appropriate the word "beauty" too, like people who chronically overeat.

Miraculously, the US has managed to achieve positive gdp growth and a rapidly declining standard of living.

You're very confident about this, aren't you?

I don't bother making anything run on linux unless it's meant to run as a service. It's just not worth the time and trouble to test it on multiple operating systems, probably with different libraries, just for what is a very vocal minority.

Ahh, the constant war between obviously bullshit articles and comments who didn't even look at the article they're commenting on.

Why do you choose to write in a snarky way? Why does that make you glad? Why does this make you energetic?

For me, "senior" just counts the amount of time they've been doing something. If someone isn't very good at something after putting ten thousand hours into it, they just might work at microsoft.
