the entire web already looked like this before llms became a thing, how do we know when its ai slop vs web devs being bad at web dev as usual

there is literally nothing microsoft could possibly do or change now or ever to make me even consider going back to using windows on a personal machine. i don't care if they turn windows into the greatest OS in the world and make it free, microsoft can fuck right off forever

probably literally nothing, just like google and LLMs also have had basically zero effect on patients experiences for the same reasons. maybe it varies by location but in my experience doctors will virtually put their fingers in their ears and say BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH if you mention apple watch data before kicking you out. i had one doctor confidently tell me that "apple watch blood pressure measurements had been proven to be inaccurate compared to BP monitors" and that she refuses to look at them for that reason after mishearing something i said. apple watches obviously do not even have the ability to measure blood pressure and never have done, but she was very eager to lie in order to disregard whatever concerns i may have had just in case.

there's really nothing anybody can do. protests dont work, riots dont work, petitions dont work, and theres nobody else to vote for who isn't also a cunt.

i've never considered testing out any of the new version control systems i see from time to time for the simple reason that i already know git, everybody else already knows git, git already completely handles everything i could conceivably want it to do (and a bunch more stuff that i will never touch), and perhaps biggest of all, i can't tell my manager that i want our whole team to migrate our code into (new thing) which everybody will have to learn for no reason.

serious question as somebody who has never even looked into what jujutsu offers - unless you're a solo dev with some free time, what exactly is the selling point here?

edit: i didnt realise that its just a layer on top of git so that basically answers my question, fair

particularly snoopy culture, yes, stemming from GCHQ, no idea. our government has always felt entitled to breach our privacy and we are equal parts spineless and stupid. average take on this is either "why would you care unless you have something to hide" or "that's a shame, but there's nothing we can do about anything ever."

regrettably the latter one may be correct but it'd be nice to see at least some pushback every time this happens.

what are your thoughts on solidJS? seems like they're going for "react but not shit", think they pulled it off?

that's completely irrelevant to the point they're making.

i was expecting something dumb if i'm honest but it looks really nice, i would probably use this. it seems like the perfect extension of the "code vomit" speed of writing lua and moves it further in that direction imo.

the thing i like lua for is easily getting into that "flow state" of just writing code without having to think about "how should i approach this" but sometimes the lack of things which pluto addresses forces a level of verbosity that snaps me out of it. i often find myself hitting a mental roadblock where i think "like fuck am i gonna write that much code to do X, i'll just go work on a more fun part of the program and come back later".

interesting that the author blames "the modern developer tooling ecosystem" for the issue of not being able to reproduce builds, it's still a problem of course but in my experience it was way worse in the past, with most ecosystems i've used adopting some kind of passable package manager now.

i'd guess that it has more to do with the fact that people keep vandalising them rather than individuals suddenly picking buying teslas as the one thing to take a stand against when this never seems to happen in any effective capacity for other issues.

games don't cost more to make, just certain out of touch companies keep dumping tons of money into dumb shit gamers don't care about. it has never been easier to make games with a lower entry barrier than it is right now.

wolverines are also fuzzy and adorable. knowing full well how much it might fuck my shit up, i don't think i could stop myself reaching to pet it if i ever crossed paths with one.

it's funny, i've never heard of or thought about the possibility of this happening but actually in hindsight it seems almost too obvious to not be a thing.

no idea where to find it again or how accurate it is but i watched a documentary about these rats some years ago and it said that they're small enough to be able to navigate minefields without triggering the mines.
