I think the only solution is to ban football.

To be honest I didn’t even bother reading the links. Mainly because he was being an asshole and I don’t owe him my time.

You can make your point without being an asshole about it.

So you sitting there in your cozy armchair know better than somebody in the industry?

Come on, don’t be an asshole.

I’m a little late to this party but this can be easily avoided by using the phrase “the shiz”. Just gotta train autocorrect to accept it.

As somebody who has been trying to decided which of the RAW photo editors to use, I can tell you that Darktable has a steep learning curve over Lightroom. The UI is incredibly dense and the names of sliders don’t make sense unless you’re an image science expert.

Except I couldn’t give a fuck about Nintendo games. Never played ‘em and probably won’t ever want to either.

Nope. Late forties desk jockey. I ain’t throwing anybody anywhere.

He could actually be patriotic for all I know but he has tried to enrich himself and his buddies at the expense of the public before so I trust him about as far as I could throw him.

He’s a Conservative douchebag in general.

Yeah you’re running a big risk with random keyboards from AliExpress. It’s better to spend a little more and buy a known budget brand like RoyalKludge.

And then once you’re truly hooked you can spend half your next paycheque on a premium brand keyboard. 😉

This. So many times this. It drives me bananas.

I have an Aeron that I bought over 10? years ago and it’s still in great condition with daily usage. The only issue with it is that the fake leather type material on the arm rests has scrunched up and the texture is not so nice anymore. I could replace those if I wanted to though.

I’m a professional software dev and I use GitHub Copilot.

It’s most useful for repetitive or boilerplate code where it has an existing pattern it can copy. It basically saves me some typing and little typo errors that can creep in when writing that type of code by hand.

It’s less useful for generating novel code. Occasionally it can help with known algorithms or obvious code constructs that can be inferred from the context. Prompting it with code comments can help although it still has a tendency to hallucinate about APIs that don’t exist.

I think it will improve with time. Both the models themselves and the tools integrating the models with IDEs etc.
