This is such a good write-up and something I'm struggling with very hard. Does quality of code in the traditional sense even matter anymore if e.g. CC can work with said code anyway. I haven't had imposter's in a long time, but it's spiking hard now. Whenever i read or write code I feel like I'm an incompetent dev doing obsolete things.
What's more likely is that a significant number of people will start having most/all of their meaningful interactions with AI instead of with other people.
Doesn't work where I live, is the block on a country level?
Having worked with cvs and svn, git has been an absolute blast.
That said, the first thing I do now in a repo is jj init --colocate. The fact alone that there is an operation log in jj, so you can easily revert your last command, or go back to any point you want, is mind blowing coming from git and having experienced frantically digging through the reflog.
But that aside, the way to work with branches ahem bookmarks, commits, conflicts, just makes so much sense in a world where simultaneous feature branches are a thing.
It's happening on a different level as well. More and more developers are moving from the US to popular startup hubs in Europe, e.g. Amsterdam, Copenhagen. They were often higher up in the FAANG chain, so they are immediately quite high up where the arrive, and they are bringing the American culture with them. E.g. what do you mean you're taking a month of holiday, or what do you mean, you're staying at home with your wife to take care of your baby. And yes, you have a right to that, but it's different to take that time when you feel it's accepted or frowned upon.
that all the other brands have a mandatory inspection from the manufacturer before the cars will be tested by the independent check.
I'm in Europe. Never heard of mandatory inspection before independent checks. How would that even work, or be enforced.
If I understand correctly, what this project does is take the actual postgresql sources, which are written in C, compile them to wasm and provide typescript wrappers. So you need the wasm to be able to use the C code from js/ts.
There is a very loud part of HN that strongly dislikes mozilla/firefox. It's disproportionate imo, I don't understand why they're singled out so often.
From what I've seen in my direct circle, childhood trauma leaves deep deep traces, and not in a good way. The idea that childhood trauma encourages growth to me sounds like pull yourself up by your bootstraps kind of rhetoric.
Am I missing something here? 4chan is available in the UK so has to follow UK laws there, where is the problem? Regardless of whatever it is they are enforcing.
Gaming on linux has been awesome for years. With the advent of systems like bazzite, the transition is only getting easier.
In Belgium we have a service called "itsme". Had it for ages, works very well, used to be mainly for government but banks are also switching to it.
Enemy country in the current geopolitical climate is an interesting take. Doesn't sound like a great idea to me tbh.
Anyone shipping code in a professional setting doesn't just push to prod after 5 people say LGTM to their vibe coded PR, as much as we like to joke around with it.
I can guarantee this is happening in a lot of companies right now. Any company where there is pressure to use AI tools + pressure to get faster results it's inevitable.
My observation is most people who mix up C and C++ use neither. How could you even automatically migrate when a lot of things you do in C++ are straight up illegal. Not to mention relying on third-party software like Qt.
Open the cc1plus or ld "internal binaries" to be even more confused ;)
Isn't this already done? I remember a "try to hack the llm" game posted here months ago, where you had to try to get the llm to tell you a password, one of the levels had a sanitzer llm in front of the other.
The one that bites me daily is in keeper. The web UI opens with icons collapsed, expanding after ?500ms?, right about when I want to click on a category to expand it, thus collapsing it again.
So using LLMs as a junior you are just breaking my trust, and we both know you are not a competent reviewer of LLM code - why am I even dealing with you when I'll get LLM outputs faster myself ? This was my experience so far.
So much this. I see a 1000 lines super complicated PR that was whipped up in less than a day and I know they didn't read all of it, let alone understand.
The regularly flood youtube with advertisments for chrome, I've yet to see my first youtube ad for firefox.
FWIW tooling being as important as it is, it always seems like a mistake to me that the standard committee doesn't standardize compilers.
Bitcoin failed as a currency because the people who got most invested in it do not care about currency
As far as I understand, bitcoin is fundamentally unusable as a currency. Transactions are expensive and limited to ?7k? every few seconds. It's also inherently deflationary, you want inflationary currency, you want people spending, not hoarding.
LLMs are so easy to use though, it's addictive. Even as a senior I find myself asking LLMs stuff I know I should be looking up online instead.
I don't think the human is the problem here, but the time it takes to run the full testing suite.
I'm in the EU. You have no idea what you're talking about.
I imagine the two wheels being in the back and the driver positioned relatively high from the ground makes for very different turning mechanics in OP's linked bike though?
The only "trike-like" bicycles I see are used by elderly people, everything for cargo/kids is either two wheels or three with two wheels in front.
We also have Wero now, which unifies the mobile payment systems in belgium, France and Germany, with more to follow. Promises to be a unified mobile payment system across Europe within a couple of years.
The full quote being
Most developers blame the software, other people, their dog, or the weather for flaky, seemingly “random” bugs. The best devs don’t. No matter how erratic or mischievous the behavior of a computer seems, there is always a logical explanation: you just haven’t found it yet!
I don't see how you can conclude from that that real issues would be overlooked? I interpret this to be the opposite.
Signalling? Talks about investing 800 billion in the military industry across the EU would have been unthinkable 4 months ago. Now they're proceeding at a speed that is staggering when you see how long these talks/processes normally take.
EU cloud is certainly much discussed, and more than that. Holland for instance voted and accepted a resolution last week for more digital sovereignty. This doesn't mean we'll have an AWS competitor overnight, but we're also only 3 months in.
Absence of a (high-level services) cloud provider is a big problem. I hope that changes at some point, but probably impossible to start something like that without measures in place to make the existing offering less attractive.
