My lukewarm take is that all this hate on AI is really just hating on big companies trying to squeeze money out of some new development. AI (or rather LLMs) are not the problem.

You might not give a shit but the American elections are going to have a huge impact no matter where you live. It’s world news. And yeah there’s a lot of nonsense news about the US elections but there’s plenty of nonsense news elsewhere too. Why not start a lemmy community specifically about non-US news if you feel that’s lacking?

I think this is exactly what I’d like to change about Lemmy’s culture, the same thing that happened (more extreme) to Reddit.

The guy above you made a stupid remark. Then you come along and say to yourself “I bet I can out-asshole this guy, let me write something equally asinine and insulting, that will raise the level of this discussion” The same lame brained tit-for-tat bullshit that destroys our political debate.

We do this in Ruby all the time, we just prefer methods over variables, usually.

def authorized?
  current_user&.authorized?

My girlfriend lies on my right arm, so she’s on the right side of the bed and I’m on the left.

They just said it is optimized for gaming and has a toggle to “optimize the CPU drive”… Can’t wait for this technological marvel.

Was I a good processor?

No one ever mentions the MSX. Best of the 8 bit generation as far as I’m concerned, scrolling purists be damned.

Shareholders: you doubled your profit last year, so I expect you to do it again this year.

Or business decides all specs and design decisions that were made last quarter were actually garbage and yes we do want to be able to manually override every step of the carefully designed state machine. We’d like to be able to manually change all calculated sales data, but also the data needs to remain in a consistent state at all times. Oh and while you’re there, we decided the commission calculations will use a different system from now on. We expect it to be online by the end of the week, thanks.

Now Lemmy has to decide, who do we hate more? Boomers or landlords?

Maybe in enterprises settings what you say makes sense, but for the small to medium startups I usually work for, RoR is great. It’s super easy to prototype and switch lanes. If I had to do what I do in Java I’d go insane. As for Delphi…

The RoR “magic” being obtuse is extremely exaggerated most of the time and more meme than reality. If you think PHP is better, by which I guess you mean Laravel, how on earth is that less “magical”? React? Next? I’ll take Ruby any day.

I mean I’ve been using ActiveRecord for the last 20 ish years and I’ve never encountered or even heard of this bug. Sounds like you came across an especially obscure one.

Ragging on older generations though, comedy gold.

Man seeing those graphs, all I can say is thank god for women.

… In contrast, Microsoft’s corporate VP, Jared Spataro, told us that users are finding immediate value in Copilot

haha no really?

Yeah but I can’t be bothered to google it so it must be a scam.

Pretty sure excessive phone use leads to this kind of doomerism so might not be a bad idea to force kids to touch some grass.

Headline is false as well, there are other companies that did this already.

Having worked in IT for many years, bosses only hear the “it can be done” part and never the “but we should add these precautions” or “but we should follow these best practices”

Those translate to “those developers want to add unnecessary extra costs” to them.
