Round things with antennas

If a tool were created that properly converted an UML diagram into a project without any need for code, all the programmers that lost their job to this tool would then be hired by the company that offered it, in order to give maintenance and support to everything the customers want in their programs.

It would be removing programmers from they payroll of some companies but they would still be working for them, just further down in the chain.

The same is true for AI. If AI could completely replace programmers in some area, it would need a lot of programmers itself to keep dealing with all the edge cases that would show up from being used everywhere that a programmer was needed before.

I believed they maybe weren’t listening because those cases that people claim as “proof” of listening can usually be explained in other ways as well. People tend to assume they were listening because its the easier explanation but with the amount of data that Meta has, they can easily lead people into thinking about things by showing specific posts on the Facebook timeline and also predict to some extent what people may end up talking about based on things like how many times you replay a certain video and how long did you keep certain posts in focus on the screen and that sort of stuff that people often don’t realize is also data for them.

Still, I would never put my hand on fire for them and never completely discarded the possibility of them listening.

Well we always accused Meta of listening. If it was their partners, they technically weren’t lying when they said they weren’t. “we don’t need to listen to you” was technically correct too, it just missed one word: “we don’t need to listen to you ourselves”

He’s doing what’s called a “neuralink move”

I would switch 6+8 and 6+9

I can’t even do that, stupid aphan brain.

It really surprised me that Astarion is so popular.

Windows, in the past has been known to sometimes overwrite the Linux boot loader after a windows update.

Linux (ubuntu) do that pretty often too, people just don’t notice it because they’re unlikely to be running any other bootloader if they have Linux’.

Skype for business barely had anything to do with Skype tho, other than the name.

I had to do some soap integration last year and it feels like it only got worse with age.

Yes, I trust my coworkers and our company’s workflow enough to produce better code than that.

Speaking specifically about npm: A ton of packages used as dependencies for a million different things have very loose quality control, some even merge community PRs straight to release without checking the code in any way. More often than not I have run into packages maintained by people with no connection to the original dev and don’t even know how its code actually works.

I remember a couple years ago I needed to read zip64 files so I picked up the zip file definition and implemented the read operation for it in the package we were using for zips. I only implemented a very small subset of the format to strictly solve my problem. I opened a pr to them saying “here’s some quickstart of you plan to add full support for zip64” - next time I checked they has merged my pr as if was and now were having folks registering issues for incomplete zip64 support.

That sounds awful to experience as a customers, but also sounds like an awesome challenge to pull out convincingly for whoever created it.

Too bad it’s rounded to one digit, it’s so hard to find more detailed data about that period.

I deleted all my comments last year. Recently I got a notification for a response in one of such comments. When I clicked the notification link, my comment and the response were visible. The comment doesn’t show up in my profile.

Ah I had that popup confused with one of our own; Now that I checked the text on google translate I figured out what’s happening.

The meet.jit.si domain is a public jitsi instance that is kept by jitsi themselves. They recently implemented this login requirement on that domain (one user in every meeting must authenticate); They probably assumed that those meetings would always be in a browser and our desktop app is not handling that authentication flow properly. I’ll register a task for someone from our app’s team to take a look.

If you host your own jitsi instance, this login requirement won’t be there and you won’t have this specific issue (though I assume you probably won’t stay with Rocket.Chat anyway due to the E2EE requirement).

Thanks! I got it now. I’ll look into it this week.

A couple years ago I had a similar reaction with folks saying that Drake (who at that point I had never heard of) was a bigger name than Taylor Swift. I laughed and googled his name only to find out that the claim was not as far fetched as I first imagined. I guess no name is truly universally known.
