Man, I really dislike these pseudo pixel art things generated by AI - the amount of half pixel artifacts really gets under my skin.

Blockchain is primarily touted as a replacement for currency.

That’s the thing, AI is an exceptional propaganda machine. Blockchain isn’t really exceptional at anything - it’s just a reinvention of the wheel.

I love projects like this. Do one thing, super well, without adding a kajillion dependencies. I love the vanilla HTML / CSS approach.

And the key word “big” here is far bigger than most engineers need to deal with. Hell, most supposed “big data” problems I’ve seen people try to tackle are small enough to fit the whole database into memory.

That’s sadly the opinion of a lot of tech companies.

It’s fine to do that if you’re pre-customer and you’re just dabbling with a new idea. Once you are ready to go public though you need to be stable and secure. The big problem is when people try to apply the same development philosophy between established software and pre-alpha software.

I got started programming by reading the manual of my TI calculator during a boring history class. It really does work.

Per-passenger is a stupid way to charge this tax because the service provided is per-plane.

The math in this video checks out, even when spreading the costs over all the passengers of a larger plane.

Because ants can live on grass but not pavement? Lawn is bad for biodiversity but concrete is much worse.

Surely solid pavement is still a downgrade from lawn grass, no?

C++ is kinky that way. You can consent to all manner of depraved programming patterns. Great for use in personal life, but maybe not appropriate for the office.

I don’t see why you couldn’t vote funny and helpful at the same time

It seems clear that during training they weight Musk’s tweets (and those of accounts he likes) more heavily than everyone else’s.

Or shirts apparently

He’s just trying to win some more bread for Europe. Eventually everything will be fully subsidized by fines on American companies.

No money is exactly what’s needed to achieve this.

In Python you can use 🍆 as a variable name.

Edit: oops, guess I was mistaken, you can use most Unicode but emojis are not valid.

Finding a job is like dating except if you are too picky you starve to death.

What kind of moron doesn’t check the diff? Plus, modern AI coding tools explicitly show the diff and ask you to confirm each edit directly.

I wouldn’t let a human muck about in my code unchecked, much less an AI. But that doesn’t mean it’s useless.
