  • Some people's chats with Claude AI found publicly available online

    Jump

  • I have to admit I was wrong - a shit-load of google docs are also visible on search. I wasn't aware it works this way. That's really bad. I found so many people's resumes!

  • Some people's chats with Claude AI found publicly available online

    Jump

  • Does it say they posted it on the Internet?

    Google Docs has a "anyone with a link" sharing option. I would not expect setting that and texting my friend the link to result in the document contents being indexed for searches.

  • I would not assume "anyone with a link" includes people who do not have the link.

  • I actually like New Jersey [Rae The Doe Comic]

    Jump

  • It's funny because people who have never been to New Jersey aside from like an airport or maybe the Secaucus train station will shit on it. Meanwhile, they're from like bottom-of-the-barrel Mississippi or something.

    I dunno, I've always felt negatively about, like, unoriginal things people just repeat to feel like part of the group.

  • "Beans!" In 2021, thousands of teenagers suddenly developed the same violent tics, every medical test came back clean, and the real cause turned out to be hiding on their phones.

    Jump

  • When I read "influencer" I read it as like "grifter". I concede what you're describing may not be bad.

  • Müller-Vahl asked the obvious follow-up question. What she found was that almost every patient in the outbreak had been watching a small number of Tourette influencers with very large followings who documented their own tics on YouTube and TikTok.

    Why the fuck do these influencers exist.

  • Please resist responsibly

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, the idea of "then we go into the board room and execute all those assholes" has a certain emotional appeal that's absent from "we'll boycott, vote, run better candidates".

    More active resistance like strikes or blocking production are a little more poetic, but tend to draw violence

  • Mayor Mamdani Unveils 30% Discount at New Municipal Grocery Stores

    Jump

  • Neat.

    Also when you scroll down on the page, the background gets more red. Is that a subtle "we're turning more communist" joke? (Ok, it says linear-gradient(180deg,#e2f3ff,#ffecd9), which isn't really red)

  • Food prices up 33% as Americans battle highest grocery price spike in 50 years — with no relief in sight

    Jump

  • Conservatives value in-group solidarity more than almost anything else. Feels good in their brain.

    You'd probably be an asshole too if you came a little every time you yielded to authority. That's how their brains work.

  • The offer to pay more for the same finally pushed me to cancel Apple Music. What is a good alternative that's not loaded with ads?

    Jump

  • Bandcamp was really good. It's still going but it's kind of a corpse animated by capitalism now. You get drm free music and sometimes musicians will like do listening parties or chat or other fun stuff.

    If you buy one album a month for $10, after a few years you have a sizable library that's yours to keep forever. Don't rent music.

  • Game Pass Was Supposed To Save Xbox – Instead, It’s Killing the Company

    Jump

  • It was never going to work out in favor of consumers.

    Also fuck Microsoft. At the very least they should be broken up.

  • Return-to-office mandates are killing workplace trust

    Jump

  • We are lead by the emotions of idiots, and the greed of monsters.

    We have leadership who do not understand how work gets done. They don't do work like their employees do. They don't code or do code reviews.

  • Return-to-office mandates are killing workplace trust

    Jump

  • What makes me even angrier is how easily everyone accepted it. We could have pushed back. We could have simply continued doing our jobs from home, they can’t fire everyone. Instead, people just complained but complied.

    This also frustrates me.

    There's no labor organization or solidarity here. Some people are afraid they'll lose their job and then suffer. That's a real fear, because this is the bad place

    But some people are just spineless

  • Happy Monday

    Jump

  • Does it really matter in a development enviroment?

    Yes 100%. There's a good chance whatever you're working on with be on Linux, so being on windows locally is just an extra layer for problems to manifest. Plus windows is just weird compared to everything else.

    I don't want to fuss with the OS. I just want the basics like ~, cat, grep, curl, etc to work. I don't want OneDrive. You can go get tooling to make windows more linux-like but, like, why half ass it.

    With containers I guess it matters less. You could have a Windows host and Linux container, and probably not cause any problems with case folding or line feeds, but again: why half ass it.

    Do you do software development work?

  • Happy Monday

    Jump

  • I'm not that kind of computer person so I can't speak confidently on the specifics. I imagine it might be a factor that windows is just more familiar to many people, lots of enterprise software was already written for this task, and common problems were solved.

    A user in linux without admin rights is pretty limited in what they can do.

  • Happy Monday

    Jump

  • Windows isn't really fit for development (outside of windows-specific targets), so. And it kind of sucks for just day to day usage. And most IT departments aren't great, so linux is out.

  • How do you handle visual regression detection in production?

    Jump

  • When I tried Percy it was really bad. I think it wasn't even doing real screenshots, but some horrible serialization of the dom nonsense. Some of what came out of their tests just wasn't accurate at all.

    Every time I've tried to implement visual tests it's a bad time.

    A good unit test encodes intent. This kind of test, and snapshot tests, tends to be too broad. Something changed but was it on purpose? I dunno maybe just accept it. People don't look at it closely. It's numbing.

    As others have said, you probably want to stop having shit randomly shared in multiple places. If you change something used in more than one place, probably manually check.

  • Transcript: Angry Trump Urges GOP to Rig Midterms as Polls Turn Brutal

    Jump

  • not forget how easily Republicans fall in line

    Their belief in hierarchy is core. Drives everything else. They're bad people.

  • How I Find Problems to Solve as a Staff Engineer

    Jump

  • Interesting. I find that where I work, often the biggest problems are non-technical. It's the upper manager that says "we don't have time for automated testing" and then our releases take two days of manual testing and bug fixing.
