Yeah Elbereth with a crayon.
Sorry but I don't agree with employees working from home. The best ideas and collaboration happens at the office.

Period.

> not simply killing everything in sight - in fact, killing everything in sight is a good way to die quickly

Can you expand on this? I've been losing for years. What else can you do besides killing things?

What makes it hard for me to trust online news nowadays is click-bait. As advertising dollars going the way of polar ice caps it's gonna get worse, not better.

Whoa. Cool your heels Kimosabe. I said "If I'm not mistaken".

Looking at the rest of the comments I see that Qt core is free, but the rest of it isn't.

The go out and get jobs at more financially responsible companies, or start their own. There is plenty of work.

Eventually they'll develop their own language.
Plus Qt isn't free, if I'm not mistaken.

Dude, you blindly ran some random code on a metered cloud service.

If somebody gives you keys to a Ferrari, don't blame the manufacturer when you drive it off a cliff at 120 miles/hour...

So I guess it's not going to be the dreaded Linux killer everybody thought it would be.

Another day in the office for Google. RIP.

That's what happens when you don't have an independent party that keeps tabs on this.

Except that the answer should be yes
I don't think we've hit the Descartes moment with ChatGPT.
Whatever happened to, what was it called again, Grasshopper?
I banned Automapper from my company.
I'm 46 and I'm at the top of my game.
I thought that Pathfinder 2e was much like software development: The latest commit in a branch which has OGL 1.0 at its root.

Does OGL 1.1 mean that /all/ branches are affected?

More distinctive?

When I was a kid, I couldn't get past Leisure Suit Larry's adult checker because I couldn't answer the bust size questions... This would have been useful :-)
Re:A no-code tool that generates code on Tuesday December 27, 2022 @07:27AM (#34148054)
I just won a large contract to maintain a legacy bit of code and bring it up to scratch. Our client's effort to migrate away to no-code/low-code never got off the ground. The party that was supposed to do it lacked the tools and know-how to make the switch.

I donnow, but if you're a manager that's dreaming getting rid of expensive developers, my impression so far is that all you're doing is replacing developers with less competent and more expensive "consultants" that need to build solutions with one hand tied behind their backs.

No-code/low-code is useful for shopping lists but complexity skyrockets as soon as you try to step out of its comfort zone.

I'll probably end up eating my words, but so far I'm not worried about no-code/low-code in 2023.

Oh sorry I meant `screen`

Basically these instructions:

https://dev.to/spacial/installing-openbsd-7-on-raspberry-pi-...

But...

This was a while ago. It looks like the instructions for OpenBSD have changed?

https://www.openbsd.org/arm64.html

Maybe I'll try again soon...

Re:FreeBSD on the Raspberry Pi on Monday December 05, 2022 @07:31AM (#33864735)
I couldn't connect to the pi using the serial console. Linux detects it and it gets logged in dmesg but the telnet doesn't seem to work.

It could be that I have a faulty cable.

Oh it's on an rpi3 . Maybe the serial connection only works on 4? The documentation doesn't say.
