When stuff goes sideways it’s annoying regardless. In Linux it feels easier to really get in deep and fix what needs fixing, but windows has its registry and you often end up using some random utilities that may or may not work correctly to get what you need installed.

This had 0 educational value except for levels being named after metals. That’s where I learned what Tungsten was.

It’s more that it wasn’t disclosed when asked which was disqualifying.

There was this side scrolling space themed bullet hell adjacent game they had on the computers when I was in elementary school.

Depends on your situation and objective. If you’re currently employed and want to increase potential earnings in the same track, then probably around 30/35 from my personal judgement. You should really have enough professional experience and context at that point to make up for a degree, especially if you’re engaging in continuing education, staying up to date on professional articles, watching conference talks, etc.

If you’re looking to get an MBA to move into a management track, it’s probably worth it later in life until like your 40s and 50s earnings wise.

If your current industry is tanking and you need to pivot to a new one, then you don’t really have any other options than to reskill no matter how old you are.

If you just want to learn philosophy or history independent of your work, then there’s not really a point where it’s too late, just how many classes you have time for which is wholly dependent on your life circumstances and doesn’t depend on age.

It’s more generate shock value so there’s posts like this one drumming up interest.

If it’s anything like Baldurs Gate 3, you have a decent amount of control over how much sex and gore you want in the experience based on your in game actions and they likely have nudity toggles.

Unknown could be anything. It could even be windows!

Why the F is a single contractor able to delete an entire DB without any kind of sign off by a manager for that operation, unless they were and to sign off for each other.

Imagine if a junior messed up the command? Every system I’ve worked on has had these controls mainly for the latter issue, by the former also shouldn’t have been possible.

He’s not wrong about the main point, but I think it just means you need to be clearer about the AI disclosure. Was this AI generated images, text, or voices? Was the codebase just using small amounts of AI tab completion or substantial portions of AI generated code?

An issue I’ve seen brought up in the open source community is that they have audits that look at the number of untriaged issues and time to resolve serious issues that their funding depends on.

I’m in software, but not open source, so it seems like they don’t have someone aligned with their team who they can sit down and say “either we need more resources, cut scope for new features, or accept quality / security issues coming up” to, its kind of this weird game of politics they end up needing to play to get any kind of funding for full time maintainers.

That’s the main reason they can’t just ignore issues that come up in their backlog, especially security ones.

Kind of, in this case its a vulnerability in a portion of code that you need to compile with special flags to even include in the library (ie its not in the default build, you need to rebuild it and opt-in) so its super low impact and just ends up giving the maintainers excessive paperwork.

Security vulnerabilities are different, especially when they also put a 90 day disclosure period in it which is more severe for a security exploit.

That disclosure bit, not in the article, is really what tipped this all over the edge. If it was just hey, here’s a bug then its really just flooding the backlog for the maintainers who need to triage that. Disclosures are often used so people are aware that they’re using libraries that the maintainer has refused to patch, but in this case its really just holding the maintainers hostage so they end up wasting their time going through irrelevant issues.

Also, many of these libraries get security audits to make sure they are actually triaging and working through their backlogs, so could lose actual funding they get.

Ideally, they would either use their supposedly capable and powerful AI code gen to just make a fix and send over a patch, or at least use LLMs on their own end to triage the issues and only send over the most sever X periodically.

Because its the only one that supports rendering the opening cutscene from a decades old lucas arts game.

No, it’s not always gendered in that way. I think my dad would be way more flexible about that. He just wants me to hit those milestones of family and house regardless of how at this point, but my mom is way more concerned with what other people might think.

No one is going to explicitly say that, but in some communities the reaction to a son being gay is a lot harsher than to a son sexually harassing someone else.

I wouldn’t say that’s a blanket true statement.

There is plenty of opposition to immigration that is racist, but there are also legitimate issues of immigration growing a population faster than infrastructure and housing supply can keep up, or wealthy immigrants displacing more working class neighborhoods to take advantage of power cost of living.

I don’t think blanket enabling of all immigration everywhere is a policy that would be a clear positive for the world.

Not just the Bible. A lot of this extremist ideology comes from people who like to sound smart, but don’t know what they’re talking about.

Like the whole effective altruism movement, or even just the resurgence of eugenics with Musk and his whole birthing weirdness.

This is why humanities degrees are important. We’re putting people into leadership positions surrounded by others who also have never critically engaged with a book.

It doesn’t. It costs money to skip a lot of the effort and have someone guide you through a curriculum and give you direct guidance and feedback on how to get that knowledge.

I have an Engineering degree, everything I learned there could absolutely be learned by someone curious poking around on the internet for videos, papers, and course slides that you’ll probably need to read alongside a wiki page. They tend to come up pretty quickly once you’re familiar enough with a field to start investigating one level deeper from a basic high school education.

Its way better than it used to be. I don’t know if that’s just because there’s less drama happening right now regarding reddit, but I didn’t get a flooded front page when reddit’s chatbot citations started plummeting which is a huge improvement over the past.

I don’t think we should never talk about reddit, but I think it gets really annoying when people start clickbait spamming with Reddit headlines which hasn’t happened in a while.
