This study failed to take into consideration the need to feed information to AI. Companies now prioritize feeding information to AI over actually making it usable for humans. Who cares about analyzing the data? Just give it to AI to figure out. Now data cannot be analyzed by humans? Just ask AI. It can’t figure out? Give it more so it can figure it out. Rinse, repeat. This is a race to the bottom where information is useless to humans.

If the price I saw when I picked an item is different to what I pay at the counter, I’ll never be back at that place again, even if it means I’m paying less.

Thank you for your compliment. I love it. The floppy disk is 1.44 non-freedom MB, not 0.015264 miles of CD drives.

I would suggest:

• 1KB = storage capacity of 1 kg of 1.44 floppy disks.
• 1MB = storage capacity of 0.0106 mile of CD drives.
• 1GB = storage capacity of 1 good computer in the 2000s.
• 1TB = storage capacity of 1 truck of GB (see above)

PS: just to be clear, I meant CD drives, not CD discs.

You make me want to buy a Steam Deck, even though I don’t play games much.

Spez: we want to sell our users’ content to anyone with a good price.

Staff: but our users will rage and delete their content.

Spez: not if we remove the API.

I pirate because it’s more convenient. No launcher, no update, no DRM, no need to be always online. I still purchase games but still play the pirated version.

The original video showed that just changing the Agent string fixed the “problem”, so it has nothing to do with ad blocking.

Early Christmas present for FireFox, yay!

As with traditional Reddit PR: Reddit will comment when there’s correction to be made. Since Reddit made no correction, the article is 100% accurate.

After many failed attempts at TDD, I realized/settled on test driven design, which is as simple as making sure what you’re writing can be tested. I don’t see writing the test first as a must, only good to have, but testable code is definitely a must.

This approach is so much easier and useful in real situations, which is anything more complicated than foo/bar. Most of the time, just asking an engineer how they plan to test it will make all the difference. I don’t have to enforce my preference on anyone. I’m not restricting the team. I’m not creating a knowledge vacuum where only the seniors know how yo code and the juniors feel like they know nothing.

Just think how you plan to test it, anyone can do that.

Not sure if they’re different now. I tried YouTube Music one year ago and it’s very hard to find new music. On Spotify, I can navigate from one song to a related song and another and so on. On YouTube Music, it keeps taking me back to artists and songs that I have liked before, making it very hard to find new music.

There are already some attempts but I don’t think it will work, harmful even. Best case scenario, the AI can understand the code as well as a senior engineer from another company. All they can know without the context is what was changed, which is useless. We need the reason why the commit was made, not what was changed. The info is not there in the first place for the AI to try to extract.

Lemmy advantage is that it’s both open source and federated. Someone can make a version with accessibility feature (which will likely be integrated into main version) and deploy an instance for blind users. Blind users will then have access to the whole fediverse.

CEOs tends to think they’re special. They do not think they are there because of right time right place.

I work in tech and I have seen how a small change in organization structure, such as a Product Manager leaving, or adjusting how Product, Engineering and Marketing working together, having a huge impact on how the business operates. Yet most CEOs think the company is where they are because of their own decisions. It’s quite the other way around: CEOs suggesting stupid policies and other people cleaning up the shit, like “let’s all go back to office because I’m lonely here”, despite majority of employees work remotely from another fricking country.
