I do not use AI to code; but I have been programming for two generations now.

I’ve taken a few breaks in that time, and switched technologies at least ten times also, and it’s very easy for me to forget a lot.

Programming is like any skill, it requires constant practice.

Am I a good programmer? Probably not that skilled, but I’ve written over a million lines of code and have run the gamut of architecture from: “Break this large file into 500 lines each, now we call that as a function” to “all numbers are object oriented” to “if it works great”

Yes

Bombs go missing from time to time

I think the author of this article is a bit confused, and not describing the paper accurately. Because we are descended from homo erectus already.

AI does not have a foothold in my area, because it still takes far more time to understand what it did, and debug it. Faster to just do it ourselves.

However, there are some programming jobs where people can use what it makes without checking much, or understanding what it does. And while this probably has some cost to pay down the line, if it gets the job done today, then everyone wins.

I know some freelancers, and small shops, that make a lot of money untangling the code made by the above.

Mineralogists hate this one weird trick

I would like to agree that most of the original contributions on Reddit today come from people who use old Reddit.

I know this because while I have not had an account there for a while; when I was there, I networked with others to know trends of how they connected

I don’t think this preference has changed , and probably even more use old now

I think humans are not really more intelligent than most beings; we have a unique ability to manipulate physical things, but most animals are not crazy enough to follow and do that because our species pays a very high price for that in happiness.

It’s that sacrifice we all individually made to be like most other humans, as babies, that make us think our way is superior and look down on other animals.

I imagine even if they tried to make a run with the ads, different people who were sociopathic would have still gained the monopoly.

The building of that monopoly required criminal minds

I’ve become spoiled. Whenever I have too many open tabs I ceremoniously burn my computer and get a new one. Very satisfying

That amount, according to some, is much lower than was spent, at least 100 billion when one accounts for the long term costs

And when one thinks of the economic disruptions worldwide, the scams and market manipulations, probably above 1 trillion dollars

I agree, there are a few sequels I liked on their own merits. But the majority of the ones are just as you said.

That said, I have a weakness for space ship drama. Can’t be too much of that. So some sequels really don’t need much of a plot, rhyme or reason. I’ll spend my money on them.

Yea, it’s nice; I’ve coded with it.

Rails just never hit the mainstream. That might be because it never had many powerful sponsors. There are some clever people and big companies that think it’s good to use. But I think the support is too scattered to attract an increase of use, so it languishes in the ecosystems.

And having hundreds of well maintained libraries will be the only way it can get popular now. And it cannot attract the new programmers in sufficient quantity to do that. And it cannot increase its sponsors until it has it.

So, it will remain a very cool thing most people won’t use

It seems technology has once again made it easy to create military stalemates regardless of the nations fighting.

This seems like a hard lesson to learn for many in different countries. Perhaps those obstinate generals of World War One, those that ordered failed assaults, should be looked at differently, and not judged so harshly as history has.

Because people seem to just do this

I understand this is a vast overreach of power and something bad.

But with thousands of systems failing in the nation, and hundreds of political scandals just as bad that were not reported by ABC news. I’m happy to watch them fight, as a little treat, while the nation falls down .

But they will not fight, they will fold and people will forget about it soon enough. And I will not have my enjoyment

Ruby on Rails was always fringe but will always have its advocates

How in the fuck can they restrict software download? This is impossible to do.

This is possible if the government continues its path

Also, Iran said it would not negotiate with these two

That’s because this news site is owned by a multinational company, which owns several other publications. They sell advertising and not reform
