Please actually read the proposed initiative.

It's funny

It does things for them and tells them what to do. Is that really making programming more accessible? I guess in the sense of lowering the barrier to creating stuff. But accessible as in a path to actually start working on things yourself and developing an interest? For most people vibe coding 99% of their lines, I doubt it. And I don't really think that's a problem to be honest, but I don't really buy that it makes programming in and of itself more accessible, more just the result of that programming.

We just read titles here

Love this WM. Been using it as a daily driver for months now and couldn't be happier.

Used dwm for so long it was basically the only reason I didn't switch to Wayland. Very happy with dwl since I found it, made the switch (almost) painless.

Learning a couple of programming languages and frameworks you maybe don't like conceptually is more what I would describe as "mildly annoying" rather than tough.

schizo mindset

They were also the team behind Yuzu (Switch emulator) who recently agreed to take that offline.

I wouldn't recommend using the mig unless you're willing to risk a console ban from all online services (if you care about that).

They both had some pretty ground breaking technology to be fair

Not discrediting the author's experiences but those are pretty heavy doses to take for both shrooms and lsd if you're a newbie. Anyone willing to get into psychedelics should take as much caution as possible and begin with smaller safe (and hopefully tested) doses in a safe environment with people you trust to help lessen the possibility of adverse effects. This of course does not mean you are guaranteed to have a good trip without side effects but that's a risk you should always be aware of when taking any drug.

Why? Chess is more popular now than it has ever been and more people care about the human storylines and drama behind the players than the actual quality of their play, for better or for worse.

I'm sure you can come up with something that doesn't involve murdering innocent people

Will drink as much milk as I like and keep calling myself vegetarian thanks.

> "no sensitive data such as financial information was compromised."

> "some basic customer information was obtained, such as name, billing address, email and phone number"

Yup definitely no sensitive data there

I'm always reminded of Gabe Newell's quote on piracy[1]:

>Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem

And by in large I still agree with it. For me I've only ever turned to piracy when the legitimate service has become a complete mess of red tape and user frustration.

Never had any issues with Ubuntu past 16.04, at least not anything requiring bash scripts or issues with restarting. Still wouldn't recommend it to non-technical users though, but that's because 1) They'd have to let me install it for them, and 2) That would probably lead to me being tech support, which I don't have time for.

It can be difficult for people to take that first step though.

I was extremely anxious about making conversation with strangers for years. Actually forcing myself to just do it and accept the uncomfortable feeling I always felt during and afterwards felt like an insurmountable task. I eventually did get mostly competent at it but that process of convincing myself to start and keep going probably took years.

I prefer not arguing about anything over the holidays but maybe that's just me.

Really appreciate their support for WiiConnect24, it's a Wii feature I have many fond memories of and the services that use it really deserve preservation.

Some of the most non-verbal stuff I've read in a long while.

End of an era. The lack of thumbnails in the file picker was what started my KDE journey years ago. Doubt I'll ever go back to a GTK desktop but glad to see this finally implemented.

I recommend Soft Skills Engineering: https://softskills.audio/

The hosts give advice to real problems sent in by listeners involving non-technical issues in the software engineering workplace, such as dealing with problematic co-workers, how best to develop your skills into seniority, how and when to negotiate a pay raise and how to prepare yourself for moving to another job.

I don't think every episode is extremely useful since a lot of the solutions for workplace related problems can be drilled down to "look for a new job and quit your old one", but the hosts are very charismatic and funny. And when they do give good advice it's always something I've kept in mind which has occassionally helped me in my own job.

As someone who was naively hired as a "data-scientist" without my employer checking if I actually knew anything about modeling I ended up falling into the "person who fixes up the code, maintains tests it, etc." role, while my seniors, who were much less enthused about software engineering, were the ones pushing out models that were admittedly very impressive but complete disasters in terms of code.

We worked very well off of each other, it was interesting to pick at a model from a software engineering perspective, how the code could be structured and improved, where some tradeoffs would need to be made and how we would test and verify if it actually worked for our users. I eventually left because the company was more concerned with getting new models out as soon as possible regardless of their actual performance, but it did ignite my passion for software engineering and devops.

If I were my younger and more idealistic self then possibly yes, I can see the allure his kind of persona has to some engineers.

As I am right now with more responsibilities on my the shoulders and need for stability in my life absolutely not.

I've been using uBlock Origin on the Nightly build for a while and it has been an absolute godsend. I only wish it were easier to try out new add-ons without having to mess around with the collections.
