What do you mean? Can’t you see all those innovations in the ads and tracking industry?

Why would anyone recommend their company to use Oracle stuff these days? Oracle should give kickbacks to people that recommend to use Oracle Database, Java, or VirtualBox in their company so they’ll keep at it /s

But the privatized prisons are local businesses too, right?

Every once in a while security researchers would discover sophisticated exploits that would allow malwares to take over your computer via multimedia files, but those are actually rarely exploited in the wild by run off the mill malwares.

Unless you’re an important person being targeted by hackers and three letter agencies, your biggest source of threat is running infected programs from untrusted sources, e.g. cracks downloaded from random torrents or warez sites, shady sites serving ads that trick you to run some executables, etc.

How do you sanitize ai prompts? With more prompts?

Imagine inheriting a GOG account originally registered by your great-great grandpa containing ungodly amount of games you can’t possibly play all of them in a lifetime.

If we fire all developers and allow AIs to program themselves, the AIs are going to commit virtual seppuku after a few days.

I’m more concerned with Mozilla spending its meager resources to chase some fads instead of focusing on improving firefox.

It seems Mozilla is not immune to the AI hype. I just hope their AI endeavour won’t kill them when the AI hype finally ends.

Have you tried creating a throwaway account and post a wrong answer to your own question?

The one and only time I had to excuse myself towards the end of a concert and miss the closing number was after eating at the enlisted mess and getting explosive diarrhea.

I guess they’re training their soldiers for biological warfare.

the tests are now larger than the thing itself

The purpose of the code is to make the tests pass.

What’s the point of sending traumatized soldiers back to the battlefield? Aren’t they a liability?

I’m truly torn with this. The first one seems sensible (action -> target) and easier to read and reason about (especially with long names), while the other one looks more organized, naturally sortable and works great with any autocompletion system.

Man, if it were me, I’d probably bit the bullet and bought a new motherboard instead of returning the processor. With my luck, I’ll probably run into some issues with the ram sticks and bought some new ones. Heck, maybe I’ll run into some issues with the old gpu and buy a new one too! Then the psu would probably need to be upgraded to power the new gpu. The temperature would probably kinda hot so the case must be replaced with new one with better cooling. Heck, now the monitor is too shitty for the hardware and need to be replaced with a new one with hdr and high refresh rate. Then the mouse would suddenly died and need to buy a new one too.

He wouldn’t make that statement unless he experienced the horror himself.

Now, if he still does it these days…

Ah, must’ve been a fortran developer. I swear they have this ability to make the shortest yet the least memorable variable names. E.g. was the variable called APFLWS or APFLWD? Impossible to remember without going back and forth to recheck the definition. Autocomplete won’t help you because both variables exist.

There was another OS that was POSIX compliant too…

Google Reader was the best. Not sure why Google killed it, but it was really good at both content discovery and keeping up with sites you’re interested in. I tried several alternatives but nothing came close, so I gave up and hung out more on forums / link aggregators like slashdot, hacker news, reddit and now lemmy for content discovery. I’m also interested to hear what others use.

My favorite is streaming apps geoblocking contents and blocking access from all known vpn networks, then wondering why piracy on the rise again.
