Similar story here except for the longest time I didn’t realize that my fellow church goers didn’t know what the Bible said, and thus couldn’t distinguish between biblical lessons and purely made-up ones

Thank you

What’s going on in the top picture? Prisoners being entertained with a shadow play?

This sounds like when they used to tell women that if they’re attacked by a rapist, not to fight back because then the rapist might get mad and kill them.

Because it’s an either-or choice. We were always going to get either Harris or Trump. Criticism of one candidate must be viewed in the context of the only other alternative. So calling out Harris on fracking is only meaningful if her position was substantially different than Trump’s. And if their positions are really no different, but only one candidate got called out for it, then the criticism is irrelevant and that makes me question the motives of the accuser.

Hope they get the sound right this time. And fix the effects slowdown glitch. And don’t introduce new weirdness.

So, 4chan. You want Twitter to be 4chan.

I’m with you. 8.1 was underrated. Yes the start screen wasn’t for everyone, but I didn’t mind it. It was the last native Windows start menu that would just find the apps you wanted to run. No Cortana, no web searches, no ads.

Yeah, they can be useful, but not in the way that the snake oil salesmen would like you to believe. Code completion suggestions are kind of a wash: often close but needing corrections, to the point where it’s easier to just write it myself. Vibe coding really only works for basic, already-solved problems. Many kinds of code changes take such a level of precision or so many back-and-fourths with the AI that it’s more efficient to describe the logic in a programming language than in English. But AI can help with large repetitive tasks, though. Use it like a refactoring tool, but for refactorings not offered by your normal tooling. It’ll get you close, then you put the final touches on yourself.

The man-hour myth will never die in the management class

There are definitely parts of programming that are boring and repetitive. I’ve been using AI to speed that up. I still do the creative parts 100% myself.

PRs still need to be reasonable size for human review, regardless of how they were authored. IMO

Perfection

Didn’t they literally just lose a court case about this very thing?

He was not the least bit scared to be smashed into a pulp. Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin!

Yes, and he has two powers: brick-throwing and frog-being.

The bottom picture is of Faith, the “second Slayer” in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, who was chosen as the new Slayer following Buffy’s first death. She used this phrase a lot. It was the style of the time.

True for me too, only I did buy a PS5, then a Steam Deck, then built a Linux gaming PC. I doubt I’ll ever go back to PS again, not after this gen.

A long time ago, it was actually the best

It was so good before then
