At that point just let me ditch the formality and send over the summary in the first place.

A tangent a little bit but so much this. Why haven’t we normalized using fewer words already?
Why do we keep writing (some blogs and all of content marketing) whole screens of text to convey just a sentence of real content?
Why do we keep the useless hello and regards instead of just directly getting to the points already?

According to modlog it was against Rule#2

Wasn’t there the same question here yesterday?

students

When I was a student I despised the idea of typeless var in C#. Then a few years later at my day job I fully embraced C++ auto. I understand the frustration but unfortunately being wrong is part of learning

It might be interesting to cross-post this question to [email protected]
but brace for impact

I don’t think such trend would be so big. And anyone who has used any LLM for programming learns very quickly that those are very far from replacing anyone

They don’t want to use those tools, legal or technical, because it goes against the spirit of FOSS, even if it’s to stop someone else who is abusing the spirit of FOSS.

I’m not convinced. It all started from a license saying “if you want to distribute your version, you have to license it the same”. One either plays by the rules or the modification doesn’t see the light of day. And at the time of publication, it was rather radical stance
Freedom sometimes has to be enforced

This is not a story about a company denying free trial to another company because the latter is big. It’s about the latter leeching resources from supporters who’s money go towards the fleet that serves their 4k VM “trial”

It is against the spirit of FOSS

I know. The world runs on duct-tape

I 100% expect so. It’s much easier and cheaper to do it this way and also gives them data to train copilot further

I might be wrong, though

I’m not convinced that the number of questions asked is the correct metric. In the end the point is not to have a constant flow of questions, rather constant flow of answers found.

There is a point in proficiency in language/library/whatever after which it is faster to find the answer in the code/documentation/test example than to wait until another person on even higher level will come and answer your question.
Maybe we simply filled out what was needed to be asked in the beginner-bug found-intermediate space and, apart from questions stemming from new versions etc, SO does not need more questions?

Expectation for everything to constantly grow is unrealistic

And as usual, that is not where the costs should be cut. Even with the current relegation of platform (I mean running mission-critical machines in cloud). I wouldn’t trust that company to be their customer if I knew they operate like that

Picture a semi-governmental company

Also, relying on 30-day license that has to be refreshed on monthly basis, now with personal emails, is a sev1 waiting to happen. Very unmaintainable

And if someone from That Company is reading this: you still have time to do the right thing. You’ve got the rocket science down. Now try ethics.

💋🤌

When a building needs maintenance bad enough that it doesn’t pass a set of regulations, it will get closed until fixed. Maybe we need something like that for IT infrastructure

Thank you for sharing that

But that ties you career to a stance. Which for sure often is a boon for many but not necessarily. The fact that one decides that something has to be spoken out does not mean that they for sure want to be from now on “locked” in politically involved jobs. I’m wondering if HR in some “just business” corp would not see such point in CV as a red flag, and if so if that would be majority, minority, 50/50?

I always wonder if those fired because of protests face some problems with finding another job?

That title went well

sometimes I want to read about, I don’t know, advancements in eInk paper, DIY gadgets, transmitting data using non-conventional media (e.g. FM radio), odd games (e.g. that you can play with one hand, with your phone), coding fun things in some esoteric language, or good news like schools benefiting from tech donations

I don’t think there is a one place for all of those at once. But I think some part of your interests might be covered by https://spectrum.ieee.org/ it also provides RSS feed

I think that methodology is wrong. If they analyzed only one instance, then the whole follwer-followee thing might be completely off. And while they measured how many replied frequently, it lacks the “how many replies they got” side

It’s like comparing engagement on whole network vs via only one edge
