I’m interested in other people’s personal experiences, even if they’re mundane. Everyone approaches situations slightly differently and learning about that is entertaining to me.

The thing I dislike is when people parrot whatever shit they read on the internet or some academic theory without any first hand experience to back it up.

This is a long way of saying… there are people out there that will enjoy hearing what you have to say.

I’m not sure this level of drop shows much of anything.

You’re right. It’s plausible that this is a big impact for them, but until someone releases actual numbers… I’m heavily suspicious. For whatever reason, these services often get a bump in subscribers when they’re constantly in the news like this.

I’ve seen some behind the scenes numbers for a different streaming service when “people are canceling in droves”. For every article I saw, I never once saw a significant number of cancellations.

So, I would take these articles with a grain of salt

Until I read your comment, I thought this was satire and not the actual tweet. What in the fuck

You’re not wrong, but often I’m just trying to do something I’ve done a thousand times before and I already know the pitfalls. Also, I’m sure I’ve copied code from stackoverflow before.

I’ve been in the industry awhile and your assessment is dead on.

As long as you’re not blindly committing the code, it’s a huge time saver for a number of mundane tasks.

It’s especially fantastic for writing throwaway tooling. Need data massaged a specific way? Ez pz. Need a script to execute an api call on each entry in a spreadsheet? No problem.

The guy above you is a nutter. Not sure if people haven’t tried leveraging LLMs or what. It has a ton of faults, but it really does speed up the mundane work. Also, clearly the person is either brand new to the field or doesn’t even work in it. Otherwise they would have seen the barely functional shite that actual humans churn out.

Part of me wonders if code organization is going to start optimizing for interpretation by these models rather than humans.

My kids played this co-op and loved it

Seemed like a pretty solid coop game to me!

Both the Teen Titans Go show and movie are gold. I hope you’ve seen the “night begins to shine” episodes

He’s one of the first hard tests. You just gotta keep throwing yourself at him until it clicks. I went the other way and did Lady Butterfly which had its own pain. You have to play aggressively. Hesitation is defeat and all of that

With state taxes, my top tax rate is above 40 percent. Are we counting healthcare and social security as taxes too? Where’s muh proper country?!

Just get hush puppies!

Just realized that you beat me to replying to the parent comment with a similar sentiment!

:fist-bump:

Change happens, but my genuine appreciation of her never went away.

Now, I’ve been married well over a decade… and still… the best feeling is the time I spend hugging her in the morning.

We have ups and downs, lulls and adventures. Life’s not all beer and skittles. But, I don’t agree that it becomes mundane.

Company currently uses IPv6! For awhile firewall rules kept biting us as we’d realize something worked in ipv4 but not IPv6 but now I forget it’s even a thing really.

I once paid for a vpc host that was exclusively IPv6 and was shocked how many things broke. I was using it for a discord bot and the discord api didn’t even properly support IPv6 …

Team America?!

Isn’t central time a bit of a mess due to some states observing daylight savings time and others not? Is this 7pm daylight or standard?

Yes! I also have the rice cooker. Probably the two most used kitchen gadgets I have!

Zojirushi bread makers are amazing

Woah! This guy does suck. But, why won’t your wife very reasonably tell him “no”? He’d throw a fit, but he’s asking an awful lot and giving nothing. You two will have to work more to support him… and that’s not fair. Is he going to be there for the next four years?! Does he pay some rent, utilities, and cover food? Does he have household responsibilities?

For all that is good, you need to convince your wife that this is a terrible idea.
