  • 'For too long, Apple has operated a walled garden around its products': The EU forces Apple to open its closed system to third parties

    Jump

  • Apple is free to sell phones where walled gardens are allowed. You're also free to stay in the walled garden, Apple lied to you.

  • This is outrageous it's unfair!

  • Or fix a simple syntax error. I've seen that a few times from juniors who thought they were too smart to learn, and it's painful to watch.

  • Git, invented in 2005. Programmers on 2004:

  • That or when SourceSafe was literally deleting random files because it was full of bugs.

  • Why are the freemasons often the target of conspiracy theories?

    Jump

  • Protect Israel? Never heard of that anywhere, it seems ridiculous. Also no one is encouraged to do business with anyone. It’s a personal spiritual thing, not a club (at least in liberal lodges).

  • Is Nicole actually real?

    Jump

  • Spam is not real. Welcome to the internet.

  • Self-Driving Tesla Crashes into Wall Painted to Look Like a Road… Just Months Before Planned Robotaxi Launch

    Jump

  • Teslas did this in the past. There was also the issue of thinking that the moon was a red light or something.

  • IIRC Musk said it would rely on AI using the footage from all the Teslas and it’s better than LiDAR. That idiot was proven wrong once again.

  • I outsourced my memory to an AI pin and all I got was fanfiction

    Jump

  • Unlike the Rabbit R1 or the Humane AI Pin

    And they describe the exact same crap.

  • Microsoft co-authored paper suggests the regular use of gen-AI can leave users with a 'diminished skill for independent problem-solving' and at least one AI model seems to agree

  • Asking the machine to think for you makes you stupid. Incredible.

    And no, you can’t compare that to a calculator or any other program. A calculator will not do the whole reasoning for you.

  • They activated Gemini at work to auto-complete stuff in emails. I work in IT, and I was not aware of that. I was typing the sentence "we will need some help" and was about to add "in the project blah blah" but Gemini came with its amazing auto-completion and added something like "in the street where they sell sausages".

    AI was a mistake, and I didn't use it since that day. Waste of time, waste of everything.

  • Branching strategy for a text based project

    Jump

  • If you have long-lived branches, I would do as you say: treat each branch like its own release, then merge once it's ready. Make sure that everyone knows that those branches exist and that they must not create new ones. You could create all the branches at once with specific names so that no one is confused (like 01-chapter_something, 02-...)

  • I've been training my own mental model with TPB and a VPN for years. Thanks Facebook for showing me that it's the legal way to do it!

  • Remote c++ development suggestions.

    Jump

  • I’m interested to know why it’s done like that. It seems awful. Do you have some SCM like git? Do you have restrictions like working for the army? So many questions.

    I’m asking because I’ve seen that a lot in the past and it was always due to bad practices that no one wanted or could change.

  • RFK Jr.: It Would Be Better if ‘Everybody Got Measles’

  • That's a stupid idea. God created this virus as a test of our own faith. You can't weaken it. (someone around me might say)

  • Tennessee man shot by his dog while lying in bed

  • I forgot Siamese cats too. If you're the owner, they love you. If you're a stranger, they'll rip your head off.

  • They can take the salary of the CEO to fund the browser, they can ask for donations that go directly to the browser, they can make subscriptions with useful services. So many ideas that they didn't try in the past 10 years. But it's easier to get free money from Google and do nothing.

  • Developer convicted for “kill switch” code activated upon his termination

    Jump

  • Same for my last job. My bosses and managers harassed and insulted me. They said I was useless and stupid.

    I quit with 3 months of "notice" (standard in France to help you find a new job). They didn’t care during those 3 months. In the last week they panicked because they could not find a replacement that did everything I fixed every day.

    I also interviewed my replacement, a junior out of school with big diplomas. When I asked if he knew Linux, he said "not really." I thought "they are fucked with this guy." They wanted to hire him because he was the son of some guy. I said to my boss that he would be a perfect fit for the company.

    Unknowingly I was the kill switch. I sent them one last email with all the information they needed and told them to go fuck themselves in a polite way.
