One of the biggest challenges I have as an ambitious engineer and a father of two, is that I do actually have plenty of time to be a high achiever in both facets of my life, but only if I'm working in isolation. My kids…
That's right. Obviously they need to build a network before they become a CEO, but that's what Ivy League's, family connections, and exclusive private schools are for.
A CEO's job isn't the one that everybody here apparently thinks it is. A CEO's job is networking, marketing and PR. They get paid the way they do because they can get into the rooms they need to get into to build the…
Trusted locations were added to VSCode in 2021. https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_57
This attack is exactly why IDE's have a concept of trusted and untrusted locations.
It screams intentional to me.
https://connectid.com.au/ They're brokering the negotiation, they're not actually the identity provider. The broker has no knowledge of your actual identity. So in this case, the identity provider (such as your bank)…
But in Australia they're actively fighting against it. Why?
In Australia, the government has certified OAuth2 Identity Providers which act as a broker between social media sites and a provider that can verify your age, such as a bank. This allows age to be verified by a…
It'd be fine if they were just using chat apps. It's not the communication that's the problem, or the bullying. That's going to happen regardless, and it's nothing new to online spaces. If anything, having online spaces…
If you draw a firm boundary with that contributor, and they continue to push, ban them. "This doesn't meet the standards of our project for reason xyz. Please refrain from submitting further PRs that do not adhere to…
Perhaps this is true if Erica is 16, but if Erica is 10 then I would like to be notified if she doesn't make it to school safely.
I find the current recommendations from spotify or youtube music don't actually help me find new music very well. They just end up shoehorning me, instead of widening my options.
That's not necessarily true. Who's to say the security researchers wouldn't have found it if they'd searched the code manually?
My (extensive) experience with LLM code generation is that it has the same issues you describe in your field. Hallucinations, over-engineering, misses important requirements/patterns. But engineers have these same…
Which is exactly why LLMs use these techniques so often. They're very common.
You should always have an architecture in mind. But it should be appropriate for the scale and complexity of your application _right now_, as opposed to what you imagine it will be in five years. Let it evolve, but…
I use Zoom and Spotify and both of those have gone downhill dramatically. Spotify to the extend that I really don't use it anymore.
Because it's formatted as an introductory part of a document they're already going to read.
In Australia this is actually an issue for low-income/underprivileged children in schools. Some parents don't give their kids breakfast or lunch, because they can't afford it or they just don't care. Some schools run a…
I use LLMs a huge amount in my work as a senior software engineer to flesh out the background information required to make my actual contributions understandable to those without the same background as me. eg, if I want…
> I somewhat feel that there was a generation that had it easier I don't think so. I've been doing this for nearly 35 years now, and there's always been a lot to learn. Each layer of abstraction developed makes it…
We use batteries in South Australia to stabilize our grid already.
Yeah, you're right about the liability part. But regardless, as a parent of teenagers, being able to justify an unpopular decision with "it's the law" instead of "research shows it's potentially bad for you in the…
You don't necessarily need to actually attempt to globally enforce it. It's like speeding, right? Everybody knows the law, and a lot of people choose to break it. We can't check everybody's speed all the time, so…
