And even this improvement wasn’t universally appreciated: some people found error messages they couldn’t ignore more annoying than wrong results, and, when judging the relative merits of programming languages, some still seem to equate “the ease of programming” with the ease of making undetected mistakes.

This guy was writing in the year x86 was first introduced, and I still feel like I see this attitude around.

(He manages to shoehorn in a “kids these days” paragraph too, though)

Yes, but quality takes actual skill to measure, instead of just a diff.

(Although I guess lines are still better than time in office)

Hmm, was the boss hoping to turn that into a “why do I even pay you” moment?

Clearly, Carney is basically the NDP.

Okay, I’m joking. But IIRC that was the Lemmy reaction with the Conservative floor crossers. The reaction to this one seems like barely contained salt.

Two are needed, two are safe seats, the Liberals have a double digit poll lead.

Well, yes. I just mean that the only people who would make or go on such a thing are people who have a problem with anyone not white, so it isn’t a surprise it ends up being that way.

If you don’t care about installing any particular mobile software, that would work.

LineageOS is the current game in town otherwise, unless you want a Pixel, in which case there’s options like GrapheneOS.

And on top of it he could have retired like 10 years ago. Just having to retire now is getting off lightly.

Honestly, that’s great, but you might as well cut to the chase and switch ROMs as well. Google isn’t going to budge.

It probably comes down to being the majority race/ethnicity/whatever. I’d guess a Japanese-only site in Japan would fill with raging bigots pretty quickly, too. Like, there’s no innocent reason to go on WhiteDate when every dating app is the white dating app. (And FWIW JDate allows gentiles)

Journalists using data obtained by other people’s illegal acts is nothing new, and has saved democracy’s bacon in some cases. Nor is whatever news program doxxing wrongdoers.

Soil is chemically unable to burn.

I’m going to cut to the chase and just say it: this is the press release equivalent of “well we’ll bomb you infinity plus one”. All it really says is that they have morale and will keep going.

Yeah, exactly. Why use your limited large munition stockpile.

Why would you waste a big rocket on something a small one could do, though?

They can also do the aiming, which is helpful if it’s a drone whizzing around. The operator just pulls the trigger.

It’s a big development, and will have a lot to say about how 21st century warfare works, but if you were expecting Terminator you’ll be relieved.

I can’t tell if they haven’t thought through what that would mean for them themselves, or they know it’s BS but it’s still good for marketing.

A really great recentish article on why, exactly, even if we have the connectome all squared away.

Depaywalled link.

Yeah. Surveillance is covered already.

Overkill. Just find the illegal no-age-collection ISO. Installing with your middle finger raised is optional, but recommended.

That’s the author’s opinion on what this means, anyway. I’ll have to try and actually read the study.

Of course, hiring depends on a whole lot more than AI productivity.

There’s many kinds, but yes.

I know canola has the lowest saturated fat of them all, which is also why it doesn’t smoke easily.
