I think I could have states my opinion better. I think LLMs total value remains to be seen. They allow totally incompetent developers to occasionally pass as below average developers. Is that good or bad? I don’t know. What an average and excellent developer can do with LLM assistance is less clear. Certainly it can help those developers in some situations.
If Cortana had copilots LLM behind it, it might have survived.
There are a LOT of superficial devs out there. You dont even have to be interviewing junior devs. Plenty of them out there at medium and senior levels. They existed before LLMs were spitting code like today, and this will undoubtedly lower the bar for bad developers to enter. It remains to be seen if this can help the gold developers in a meaningful way.
Link? I’d like to see. Always amusing to see that kind of thing.
Welcome to the Internet. Pontification is all we’ve got. Now we’ve got LLMs regurgitating the old pontifications to make new ones.
I came in with your same expectations and found the same shit. Just some opinion formed on the basis of “concern”.
Same here. That works well for desktop, they also have an electron app that wraps their web ui into a desktop app and it works well enough. Bridge works very well for any other desktop app you’d want to use.
The only trouble is that on mobile your option is their app or the web interface, no ability to use alternative apps. The mobile app is good, but not great.
Overall its a good service and I’m happy bit you need to know these limitations going in or it could be frustrating.
Hiding a camera in person would be actively malicious if the other party doesn’t know. Having a zoom recording leaked is less actively.
I generally agree, but with robocopy they went too far with this, because the status code doesn’t work the way you expect, and you’ve got to script around it.
I remember when they shut down the WON servers and forced me to migrate to steam. I could have had a 4 or 5 digit steam account number if not for resisting the migration.
R.I.P. counter strike 1.5.
Its a fair point, and definitely worth pointing out. They aren’t as bad as the others in that very specific way, which is commendable for now while it suits them. The moment they can make more money by selling vs. holding your data, I have no doubts they will pivot.
Such useful features. They should be built-in. But I’m glad they’re serviced separately so we get updates outside windows update cadence.
It’s a balance, but too many people don’t even flag it to management because they’re lazy and they write shit and ship it to get it off their own plate.
Now, if management says ship it anyway it’s a balance of you as a developer making sure they understand they’re throwing this technical debt on the credit card and it may (probably) need to be paid off later. If you fail to articulate the interest that’ll be due later then you didn’t do enough or management is bad.
You shouldt work unpaid to fix it, but sometimes you should just do it right even if it takes longer because it’s how it should be done.
I have done it as my main job and I echo your sentiment. It’s inevitable that sometimes you have to meet a deadline or get something more important working first, but if you write bad code because you are lazy or unwilling to read the docs to do it right, shame shame shame.
It took me a while to realize that me and my close circle are so far removed from what most people are doing so I could logically accept that there are people who click ads and buy the stuff.
I hate ads as much as anyone on Lemmy, so I deliberately avoid clicking the ones that slip through uBlock, but I do accept that just seeing them has some influence on me.
There are huge deaths of folks that blissfully unaware (maybe by deliberate ignorance) and just happily buy stuff that’s advertised to them.
While it’s appalling to me, it’s not even something most people consider or even care about. I don’t mean this to be gatekeepy or elitist, it’s just a different value system and that’s fine, that’s what I had to realize and that’s why ads are big business.
I was just nodding along, reading your post thinking, yup, agreed. Until I saw there was a PR to fix it that signal ignored, that seems odd and there must be some mitigating circumstances on why they haven’t merged it.
Otherwise that’s just inexcusable.
I’m sure there are projects covering those areas written in JavaScript.
That sounds awful. And a major loss to accessibility. Here’s hoping one of the standards gains traction as the one path everyone can agree on.
I’m not up to speed on this issue, but it seems like the solution is to push forward with making the readers work in Wayland? Is there a technical issue with Wayland’s design that prevents readers from working properly?
I’m don’t disagree. Good developers use the tools to do better, but its incremental not revolutionary improvements for already competent developers.
