true in my case. when i get into the zone while coding, i can go on and on. while llm can help, there's a cognitive mismatch between coding directions to llm and reading the code when it comes to continuing coding. brain and the generated code aren't aligned. i prefer at the moment, after coding a feature, to see if it can be improved using llm. and it's of great help to write tests.

And herein lies the issue with ChatGPT, it can generate functioning code, but can also lie through its none existent teeth about it.

now i'm really worried :)))))

this is so much fun. i root for bing here. existential crisis. :D

is this clickbait?

although i do like the alternate version: use servers, but don’t be too serverly.

I just began to read your article and I'm already tired. Really?

The Huawei disaster reveals iron grip of the Chinese military intelligence on Huawei. What a malarkey of an article.

This article is wrong when it comes to GDPR. It could be a good thing. I friend invited me to MeWe via Twitter post and I accepted. I would like not to be able to export and if I wish delete my data. That would be my all of my data, including my contacts. I would import this data to MeWe, or what's possible. At the moment Contacts would do. Good for me and MeWe. This is what GDPR would allow. There is no open format for this exchange, but being on the market, someone will quickly come up with a service to convert the data, or MeWe guys could some up with import data from FB function.

about?

that's my ship on these vast oceans for 14 years now. every evening i open (now a beautiful macos reeder app) and depart on sailing as i see fit and where i want to. a treasure, rss feeds collected over the years, from compsc and programming related things, STEM, liberal arts, and several mischiefs.

Neither if he was speaking about Quantum Mechanic. Feynman probably paraphrasing Bohr: "If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics."

If it weren't for Apple there wouldn't be app development.

The Muslim Bosniak lader was a religious man, after decades of Communism, which prohibited the religion. This happened on all sides, and the atrocities were committed by the Christians, both sides, Catholic and Ortodox, between themselves and on Muslim population. Number of accounts in front of the International Court for War Crimes tells all bout that.

Ottoman empire was in war what you call Wahhabism. They were enemies then and they are enemies now.

Assad regime, his father and him, are of a different version of Islam, Alawites. Let's put aside the fact that Syria was dictatorship for decades, with Sunni population of 74%, and that of Alawites of 12%. One can't expect for 12% to rule for decades with an iron fist over the majority of the population without problems. As I wrote previously. The war in Syria started after Sunni population, students and the other children of Arab Spring, asked for the elections and Assad took military and tanks on them. Later on extremists found its way in. I'm just pointing out stupidity that caused the war. You're thinking is that of post-stupidity.

I was on every side.

I don't dispute that fact. The Muslims in Bosnia are moderate in nature. It's traditional. Ottoman empire was against the type of Islam like the one that originated in Saudi Arabia. I don't dispute the fact that WMD was a stunt of the crony capitalism of Cheney and his friends. But those Muslims in Syria, 'moderate' rebels, were victims of Assad family for decades. It's bound to happen, sooner or later, for people to rebel, when victimized. One doesn't need to study history to recognize this basic truth.

Another schizophrenic view of the world.

There's nothing about those wars that you can teach me, nor the idiot from the link posted.

By "excellent education system" I mean the combination of Nationalism and Communism, which, I first hand experienced, as National Socialism. Every story I've learned about Nazis, what they spoke and believed in, was present in the speech and in the deeds. I am well aware of why and how that happened, the rise of National Socialism on Balkans, one of them being 50 years of Communism and lack of the benefits of balanced democratic evolution of the society.

I call Bullshit on you. The one of the product of that excellent education system was Milosevic as well. Serbia with Milosevic started the last Balkan Wars in its desire to renew Dusan's Empire, or in common tongue, to make a greater Serbia. First in Slovenia, later on in Croatia then in Bosnia and Herzegovina. When it started on the south, in between Serbia, Kosovo, Albania, Macedonia, Greece, Turkey, it became too dangerous not to stop it. The US waited for Srebrenica to happen to put a stop on it in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This time the US and the EU correctly recognized the danger of leaving the situation to deteriorate to something that would be danger to the region and the ordinary people. Those in Serbia included.

I've began using Rider from JetBrains and it's working well on Mac for .NET Core APIs. VS was always better with Resharper (+ few other tools from JetBrains). Actually VS is the best IDE in the Enterprise, especially combined with some 3rd parties tools. Coverage, profiling, refactoring ...

This is kinda SOAP in JSON.

I'm finding problems with the escape key, not the hit/miss which is not a problem at all, but while coding I like to rest my finger on Escape key on certain occasions. That's not possible on MacBook Pro Touch. Also have to adjust that my Launchpad button is now where Siri is by default, next to the Touch Id Sensor. Everything else is better, touch pad, for which I thought I won't have use for included. Also, up and down keys are somehow easier to miss which is strange, probably due to keyboard elevation. As for the keyboard, finally, this is keyboard. I started developing on Mac as iOS and Android developer in 2012. Had hard time to get used to gummy MacBook keyboard. Touch Bar is something keyboard manufacturers in the PC world tried to make for years ending up with horrible keyboards no developer would touch. Industrial design is better as well. My 'old' MacBook Pro Retina now seems big and clumsy (both are 15"). This is the feeling I have when I use it.

Eventually most of the open source libraries will be Swift based, therein lies the answer, for the developers and for Apple. Apple doesn't need to drop Objective-C, the community will. I work with both, and like them both, although Swift is far better language.

The only thing that makes me wonder is how this piece got 168 points (at the moment of writing this). I hope YC is not going to catch populism (mediocracy) that being a 'trend'.

I might be wrong but wasn't one of the arguments made to Scotland to stay in the UK that they need it for the upcoming referendum on decision whether the UK is going to enter the EU or exit the EU. Scotland for sometime voiced their desire for the UK to stay in the EU.

not only graham is right on the spot but even more than that. how often we tend to joke about the programming languages we love and do our jobs with. case in point every developer likes the following: https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat

this feels like populism. pg's articles are well thought and argumented. i actually learned a lot from them. it does not matter do i agree with everything there or not though i mostly do. if someone can write that good from a different aspect or point of view so that i can learn more on his/hers views that would be great.

no serious commenter would say that for f-secure.

I've been bullied on the playground (not just by Xcode). Most of the physical bullying I've forgot. That sad there were some rally vicious assholes (later on probably ended up on a war crimes bench) that did psychological damage. What kids do to kids in these days is beyond belief. Younger sister having someone savvy in like most of the people here to give her advice not to take it seriously is not as common as we tend to bias here. Psychological bullying in gangs is worse than being beaten on the playground. Let's not get paranoid. This is New Zealand we speak about :) Do your homework.

And you can't win elections by promising not to pay back your debts and accuse everyone else of trying to destroy the democracy. New government does not mean you can erase your debt. And the fact that you won the elections by telling fairytales does not mean that someone else will pay for the fairytale. That is borderline insanity. Democracy is responsibility of the successive government for the deeds of the previous one. May that be debt or a warcrime.

you can't borrow, get 100 EU billions in haircuts few years ago, have monthly salaries in the administration and bureaucracy between 1.5-1.7 monthly, get 60 EU billions 5 years ago and not expect to default with 90 EU billions only in salaries in public sector. And those were only salaries expenses. Incompetent, malignant, and corrupt bureaucracy is Greek's heritage. No one will pay for that. When they borrow money in the eurozone they borrow money from middle class people who put that money into the bank. Then they call elections, and now are in recession, even though months before the elections they were on the upward line. They were already in the state that could service their own budget without borrowing and on top of that pay 3.4% interest to the creditors. The issue was that they didn't wanted to pay that 3.4%. All of this we see today is that 3.4%. And of course an insane idea that communism will rule the EU. Once more. He is an asshole, a person who calls the ordinary people who borrowed money to the Greeks for years terrorists and nazists. Good riddance.
