That’s some juicy drama

To make it more educational make it interact with the system and the user . For example I would have the program to show a list of real files from the os and prompt the hacker to delete it or not.

Stop transfering people from sales to engineering!

'I’m a bad programmer" then later lists extra curriculars that dwarfs my skills

I don’t think the issue is him; it’s the economy. Companies are probably not really looking to increase their workforce but still conducting interviews just in case they find a “Rockstar”

I can edit my street as a dead end to lower bar traffic, cool!

I always right my code linearly like on the left example with comments like further in the articles. Actually what I do if I right all the comments first and then add the code. If I push my code like that everyone immediately understand my code find bugs & potentiel issues with it and then tells me to refactor it in whatever flavor of best practice they like. If I structure it like on the right reviewers still complain about the structure I choose but never identify any bug or other real issues.

All my career everyone would say elegance and cleverness are bad but everyone who gets promoted are the one who insist on elegant and clever code. I guess it’s because their confident and vocal and that’s what human are programmed to pick as leaders

Fuck cars

If you go into the detailed explanation (and can read French) they do have some hydraulic pumping included in their “batteries” section.

In their 100% renewables scénario on a peak consumption (105gw) hour and peak energy production (sun at zenith) they would store the excess production like such:

• 7.2gw to water pumping
• 22gw to static batteries
• 2gw back to the grid (chatting electric vehicles I guess).

Also even in their most nuclear scenario (50% nuclear, 50% renewables) they still include 7.2gw of water pumping.

I’m curious of why you put so much value in water pumping? As a Quebecois I have a small notion of how disruptive (flooding of vast areas of land, massive amounts of concrete, dead rivers downstream of the dam ) water reservoirs for hydroelectricity can be and I have a hard time imagining a viable way of relying extensively on that technique.

That’s accurate. There’s always a few steps not included in the tutorial

I feel like Inflation is not hitting me as much as my suburban friends. They keep complaining about the big grocery store chain collusion (they got caught increasing bread prices a few years back).

Where I live there’s line 3 mom&pop produce/pastry/butcher between me and the big chain grocery store. My big chain grocery store is cheaper then other store of the same franchise.

We built huge expensive highway sso huge corps could build mega stores that killed all the locally owned stores. Now they so what they want.

It’s pay walled but how would China enforce that ruling? Ban all of Intel’s transactions with Chinese entity? Fines?

Here in Montreal we have a very popular car sharing company that allows many of us to not own cars.

It’s biggest issue at the moment is that the company can’t buy cars as quickly as demand increases. This type of cars would be a great addition to their park since a lot of the trips their customer do are short inner city trips.

Looks like it fits on the filter

They article mention it’s more about discouraging teens from starting smoking than making current smokers quit.

It kind of make sense since you start smoking by receiving a single cigarette not by buying a pack. I know at my high school a lot of smokers started smoking by buying individual smoke from the smoke pusher

Would leave your car running in the garage with the door closed? Earth = Big garage with lots of cars. That should be easy enough for anyone to understand

Wouldn’t it be a pleonasm? Tautology is more about the logic realm, specifically about repeating an argument or a statement as it they were different. Here “inaccurate factoid” is merely inaccurate vocabulary.

That would cover like 80% of my work related usage of chatgpt and do stuff I didn’t think of outsourcing to AI. I’ll probably unsubscribe from co pilot too.

Can’t wait for it to be in Goland.

It’s ok we’ll just use more fentanyl

I miss working in PHP. Sadly there’s less use cases for it today (at least relatively to my personal situation)

Apparently, from articles I read about the Canadian law, Australia tried something similar but fang got it reversed.

The problem is that Canada is a small market. FANG doesn’t need the revenue from it but they would hate for these laws to become popular so they’ll try to make an example out of Canada.
