I’m not saying it’s good, I’m saying I expected it to be even worse.

Damn now how am I gonna live without “Change my cursor to Sims 4”?

Reading the paper, AI did a lot better than I would expect. It showed experienced devs working on a familiar code base got 19% slower. It’s telling that they thought they had been more productive, but the result was not that bad tbh.

I wish we had similar research for experienced devs on unfamiliar code bases, or for inexperienced devs, but those would probably be much harder to measure.

“what are you saying? That I can quit vim?”

“no Neo, what I’m saying is - when you’re ready, you won’t have to.”

It’ll be over one day and I don’t know how high the DPI will have to be, but I’m currently at 160 and I still see room for cramming in more pixels.

I started using computers at 640x480, sometimes 800x600. 1024x768 was a blessing. Since then I’ve always cherished every extra pixel I could get. I would never dare use anything above 1x scale.

It’s a completely different launcher, I just like the way they list the apps that are not in your home screen (very similar to windows phone). I still prefer smart launcher for its categories but sometimes for the apps I rarely use I liked Niagara’s list.

I kinda agree with you to some extent. At the time my general reaction was something like: “everything it does, it does wonderfully. But I wish it did more”.

When TotK came out, my first impression was “I guess I’m never playing BotW again”. Mostly because they kind of overlap with each other in many aspects.

But I still thought BotW was a great game, before TotK existed.

My ideal launcher would be a mix of Smart Launcher with the addition of the app list from Niagara.

Depends on your point of view. It’s better than chatgpt, but still bad.

The code is open anyone to inspect, test, and improve. Vulnerabilities don’t stay hidden as they are found, reported, and fixed in the open.

That’s also a myth, specially for a project of the size of nextcloud. Bugs can and do go unnoticed for years while in plain sight - with no way to know if it’s been detected by any black hat.

Even worse: as soon as you merge a security fix in an open repository, people will instantly be trying to abuse it in any environment they can find that is currently running the unpatched version.

Intelligential Artificence

Intelligent Artifacts?

I remember at one point the front-end guys I knew were laughing that it didn’t even support iframes. But I imagine it eventually got decent enough.

Meanwhile in my company the leadership just thinks that we have a messaging problem after the new AI stuff we implemented made absolutely no difference in the sales numbers.

Windows Vista is Microsoft’s greatest success, because it’s main purpose was to make people forget the promises made for Longhorn.

Anything from Ubisoft

It’s not that it undeletes them, but that it keeps some of your comments unreachable. Every few months it re-indexes stuff and then with everything that was reachable before being deleted, it shows a different set of comments.

You can see more comments if you access the list with different params. For example, after deleting all your comments sorted by top score, you can access them sorted by controversial and you’ll see a whole other list of comments still there.

I got the game from some magazine, in a time I didn’t have many choices for games. I didn’t speak much English yet at the time so I had trouble getting past some stuff and didn’t get very far. I even named my first dog after the robot dog in the game.

I picked it up on steam a few years ago and tried it again. I think I got much farther than I had back in the day, but still didn’t finish it. I think I might try it again on deck now.

Sir, there’s something wrong here. I spent 20 years believing I was the only person who ever played Septerra Core, and it’s too long to change my mind now.

I was gonna edit the comment to add a similar note right after posting but I was already half asleep and apparently I didn’t do it.
