  • Yes and no. I agree that camel vs snake or that stupid mNameThing that was popular for a while, doesn't reeeeeaaally matter, although I would argue that convention over the language still has value. As an example, naming a Java variable with a capital letter would be confusing and annoying to any new devs joining the project, even if it's a valid identifier. Also it's handy to be able to look at something in ALL_CAPS and know that it's probably a static final, without having to check it's definition. I guess it's about finding that line between useful conventions and pedantry.

  • Dear god please no. This way madness lies. Your idea of "whatever you think works best" is not going to line up with whatever the next person that comes along thinks, and your codebase is about to get all kinds of fucked up.

    Thinking code complete is going to save you is naive. Even in languages like C and Java, where it works best, you still need to be able to read and understand the code in context. There's no hope in a language like Ruby with all it's meta programming stuff

  • Apple refuses to call Apple Intelligence 'AI'

    Jump

  • I'd say it's because Apple's implementation isn't essentially spyware at it's core. The Microsoft implementation was straight up deranged and dangerous, frankly.

    iPhones And Androids Can Now Warn You of 'Secret Trackers'

    Jump

  • I... partially agree? There's a bit of a difference between the targeted tracking a private individual does with an airtag, vs the generalized, but equally creepy tracking google/apple/others do through widespread tech. One definitely poses a greater short term risk than the other

  • The People Deliberately Killing Facebook

    Jump

  • They should take it literally, because it is meant literally!

    They're not exploiting customers, they are exploiting people. Those people are NOT their customers.

    Facebook is literally selling people in data form. Everything you post, everyone you interact with, everything you look at across most of the web (not just facebook.com) is all catalogued and used to create a fingerprint that is a digital representation of you, and that is their product! "Essence of /u/Melt for sale here"

    Their customers are advertisers.

  • The People Deliberately Killing Facebook

    Jump

  • those running Facebook groups routinely find that their content isn’t even being shown to those who choose to follow them thanks to Meta’s outright abusive approach to social media where the customer is not only wrong, but should ideally have little control over what they see.

    inhales deeply YOU ARE NOT THE CUSTOMER!!! YOU ARE THE PRODUCT!!!!

    It astounds me how many people STILL don't understand this

  • Neuralink to implant 2nd human with brain chip as 85% of threads retract in 1st

    Jump

  • I prefer flipping that number on it's head. 15%. They delivered 15% of what they promised and are now saying "fuck it."

    It's the equivalent of writing your name on the exam, and then sitting there doodling for the rest of the time.

  • I feel this. I'm well aware that if my partner wasn't on Facebook, we wouldn't have a social life. I HATE that fact, but that, sadly, is where people put their events. I don't think I'd join if she left, but I can't deny that I benefit from her being on the platform.

    She won't leave until everybody else does, and they won't leave until everybody else does, and so nobody leaves. It's dystopian.

  • Thanks, that was a great answer! I had no idea it was so complicated. I was definitely in the naive camp there.
