I remember back when I was in school and staring at my hands seemed infinitely more important than homework. Also watching shadows change as the sun moved across the sky.
Thinking about really makes me appreciate Adderall.
I'm getting daily or near daily BSODs since switch back from Debian. I was okay with Vista and 8, and maybe I'm just getting crankier as I get older, but I definitely am not a fan of the current direction Windows is taking.
Dreamweaver is still used? I used it a bit back in the day when Macromedia was around and shortly after Adobe got a hold of it. How does it work with the modern web? Does it work well with modern programming languages or is it still just a WYSIWYG HTML editor?
It's kinda a two sided coin though. If you don't pay attention to her, she will likely get by doing even more unhinged things with fewer repercussions than she has now.
I feel like I missed part of the article where it said that the current administration was planning on distributing this medal. What I read was more along the lines of them saying that the current administration is potentially implementing some pronatalist policies and the it describes one policy promoted by a pronatalist group, but nothing about the current administration planning on implementing that specific policy.
Not saying any of this is good and I tend to mentally gloss over parts of text that I read, I'm just earnestly missing where it says that specific policy is one that is being looked into and I would appreciate someone pointing it out to me.
I would say that we can't really quantify morality on a time scale that large. I may be confusing terms here but the specifics of what is and isn't considered moral will vary wildly between different groups of people and different time periods.
Even if you break morality down to the concept of "don't cause unnecessary suffering" leaves a lot of room for different interpretation.
AI is a tool, Ashish is 100% correct in that it may do some things for developers but ultimately still needs to be reviewed by people who know what they're doing. This is closer to the change from punch cards to writing code directly on a computer than making software developers obsolete.
Honestly, I just ask if they can solve FizzBuzz. It shows me how they approach problems, how they communicate their process, and that they know basic programming concepts. The rest of the interview just kinda tells me if I'd get along with them as a person. Most other things, good and bad, only show up over time.
Then again, I work with software that isn't exceptionally complex.
I understand sentiment after seeing how a lot of tech companies are. The other side of it is this: Developers still have bills to pay. FOSS projects are great, especially if they're done by a small team and have a supportive community, but there are only a limited number of developers who have a combination of knowledge, skill, free time, and financial capability to truly dedicate themselves to FOSS projects.
If I could support myself by coding for FOSS projects, I would probably try (hell I just might not be aware of opportunities for this) but that isn't the reality in front of me.
They'll see the sales of the Charger tank and will conclude that people just don't want muscle cars, which is sad because in the next few years I was thinking about getting one.
That or he's slowing down mentally and it just took more time for him to get there.
