Give Codex a month or two and it'll just do the same thing, though now with a million more users because Claude Code wasn't good enough.

Yup, also Google Pay doesn't work, though there are other providers which work fine (Curve Pay I think works in all of EU), but it just made me carry my wallet everywhere and I understood I don't mind that at all.

and yet their hypothesis is true, there are already many people, with or without UBI, that volunteer, create things and in general help people surrounding them without any reward and they are the backbone of every society, not the career-chasers

I mean he literally said this, without any citation(!): "There's two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It's highly likely because they are given Tylenol" [1]

He is continuously spouting non-sense not including aggresive anti-vaccine stance, hydrochloroquine curing COVID-19 and that pesticides makes kids go transgender [2]. Yes, you definitely should know all of that and be careful, because the secretary of health has said so.

Re:Baldur's Gate 3 Steam Deck – Native Version on Wednesday September 24, 2025 @04:46AM (#45357822)
Could you share your configuration? (Mostly interested in Network) I still see some noticeable latency if I stream from my PC through wifi to steam deck which is connected to a TV. At one point I just dropped the idea as I wanted to actually play the game instead of tinkering for too long.
because you don't want your data being held by Google or Apple?

There's this talk by AdaCore and a SWE@nVidia on how nVidia utilized Ada/Spark for Embedded software: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YoPoNx3L5E
Because the companies making the laptop recommend you to shutdown the laptop before puttint it into your backpack.

You are completely missing the point of the original comment. Why is my computer unusable for X minutes when I didn't expect that and perhaps, needed some critical work done?

It is literally a requirement to login if you want to use the features they provide on top of VSCode.
Re:Avante.nvim: Use Your Neovim Like Using Cursor AI IDE on Monday August 26, 2024 @03:15AM (#41354741)
I am not going to use a text editor that requires me to login.
I agree regarding the touch interface, but look at the steam deck example, connect it to some monitors and peripherals using Type-C and you have a computing monster that you can use for everything. And having the portability + other programs like final cut and w/e accessible right at your fingers is amazing!
If only Apple allowed to run VMs and other software like Linux on their iPads, it would be a game-changer. Right now, the iPads are mostly limited to media production tools + everything else you could get in an Android tablet, so it's pretty pointless for a user like me
I mean, they only made a poor demo since the announcement and then vanished not providing any more info. I do think projects LIKE Devin can replace some developers that work in most popular domains (I'd guess JavaScript and such), but it won't replace devs in complex fields (e.g embedded programmers)
Re:How NASA Repaired Voyager 1 from 15B Miles Away on Thursday April 25, 2024 @09:55AM (#40157642)
True, yet I feel the expectation regarding software has shifted from expecting much better quality even 10-15 years ago to things we have now, where nobody is surprised about web apps crashing your browser etc.
Re:How NASA Repaired Voyager 1 from 15B Miles Away on Thursday April 25, 2024 @06:09AM (#40155548)
I'm in awe that it's maintainable even though it launched almost 50 years ago, while there is software deployed right now that won't be maintainable in the next 5 years.
Don't take my question as aggresive, but why do you think you're "way better informed" since you started using it? Better informed on what?
We use SVN in our university lab, so no, that didn't work when I tried it initially. obj and bin was obvious to ignore, but I wasn't so sure about config and alire, might be helpful though
Yes, but it kinda locks you into running 'alr build' and adds other things inside 'config' directory like user's distro and other things. My guess it's probably great when you already have a done project and want to publish it, but if you want to compile your code ASAP, it's much easier to avoid it completely (except for pulling packages)
> Since one of the biggest complaints about Ada is getting the toolchain [6], I hope this can solve a lot of problems for newcomers to the language.

It might be just me, but Alire isn't great, I tried it multiple times, it's great for getting complicated dependencies e.g Utilada, but I go for GPRBuild as it just avoids all the fuss when programming across Linux/macOS.

I might try a hard switch at one point as I didn't use Alire 2.0.0 that much, so maybe it's better now.

I have both GRUB and Windows Boot Loader available on my PC, installed Linux first, GRUB even auto-detected the Windows partition without any additional setup
