  • As a software engineer who’s recently been using the latest advanced models in my workflow, I think that’s where it is most useful. It’s generally great for more tedious and mundane tasks like writing documentation, or building small functions with explicit inputs and outputs. And while that’s not crazy impressive, that previously was taking up a much larger part of my time, leaving me more time to focus on bigger picture stuff.

    That being said, it’s definitely wildly overvalued, and being shoved into everything, often where it makes no sense and is just a glorified chatbot.


  • The biggest issue to me with snap (unless something has changed since the last time I looked it up) is that it’s all a walled garden by canonical and it’s not open source (in the sense of package submission, review, rating, source availability, etc).

    With flatpak/flathub you can see the source and discussion behind each package

    https://github.com/orgs/flathub/repositories

    But that transparency doesn’t exist on snap so you are just hoping canonical did their homework on vetting apps



  • It might mostly be the banks, but I know of one gas station near me that hits that max hold, and then seconds after I’m done filling, the charge quickly switches to 30 or so dollars I put in. Whereas the other gas station that hold stayed there for almost a day. My guess is intermediary card processors play a part as well. I also learned place number 2 sells fake BIC lighters, so I don’t go there anymore.


  • It’s literally how scammers scam people every day too. Just open up command prompt and run

    tree c: /f
    

    And say it’s them visualizing the hacker, or scanning for viruses or something stupid.

    Most people today do not understand computers at all. Even those freshly graduating with CS degrees often have little to no knowledge of how their OS’s work.

    Lol i guess it’s based on the number of n’s, but I’ve always seen it in the context of attraction / climax. That being said, your interpretation seems more accurate, but I guess that’s the beauty of the internet, or art in general. One man’s Creation of Adam is a religious painting, another is the birth of intelligence by painting a brain

    Honestly reproducible builds climaxes seems like a good thing. Though I guess you are only gooning while it’s rebuilding. And who knows how flakes will apply to this, I’m gonna guess a bunch of people with big sock collections will have bigger opinions than I do
