That's what they do when they can 😉 Reality is problematic, as you also observed. I am a member of a probably-insane group trying to improve things via openEHR, FHIR, goat blood, black magic.. you name it. Sorry if you already know this stuff. I didn't mean to lecture.

It is 2025 and the first key you press when Windows displaying the lock screen is not typed into the password box that is displayed in response. I curse for every redundant key stroke I have to perform.

Indeed. I work in healthcare, and it is such a strong phenomenon: when it comes to processing information, clinicians work via "unite and conquer," engineers work via divine and conquer. Chaoes ensues.

If you'll read one thread today...

That's a sufficiently large voter base for a party that'd become the government in many countries. Hold my beer Greens party.

There are two ways to write code that works but you have no idea how. Stochastically, using an LLM, or deterministically using an ML variant.

I say a lot of bad things about the javascript/css driven Web UI stacks, but then I go back and check out how Uno/Blazor/Avalonia is going, and you know what? JS won. It does not matter if we like it or not. For the Web UI, JS won.

I just have to ask: does anybody have the source for this?

I have been working with a team in Australia for ... 15 years now. I am yet to see someone as damaged as myself. Working remotely with people in the same timezone is a breeze comparatively.

Didn't know this one. Buying one now, thanks!!!

Reusable in so many countries right now.

AI has also given politicians a golden, shiny can to put things in and kick down the road. Just say that all the holes in your policy and logic will be filled by AI.

Who are you, and what did you do to Richard?

We need to promise things faster than they can think through the promises phase of growth.

Do you like vibe coding? Why not try seeing a "vibe treating" doctor next time you feel unwell?

If you want an lol - Microsoft have implemented Copilot on its own GitHub repos and it’s a clusterfuck, you can see MS engineers publicly begging Copilot to work.

I stopped asking mainly because the tone became "your reality is wrong, and here is my answer for the correct reality, which you failed to achieve"

I think the model ExpertsExchange tried can have a second chance: being nice and attempting to help with answers in exchange for a share of the revenue. No one thought we'd pay for search 5 years ago, and here is Kagi, which I'm happily paying for.

Re all that being said about StackOverflow dying, yes LLMs played a part, but how the moderation was done and the culture that formed mainly around moderation, which then extended to comments and discourse in general also played a part. LLMs do not judge or patronise.

Especially if she's allergic.

That's an energy drink name if I ever heard one 😄

This is just ... beautiful. BatmanJuice? BeetleBat ? I'd love, love to see that movie made. What Carrey did in The Mask would be left in the dust (no rhyme intended...)

Re the so called Brexit reset (which is not, at all), the so called wins are not diluting Brexit as some suggest. They're just plastering over the massive harm it has done.
Using the e-gates? Give me back my freedom to live and work in any EU country, and I'll accept a 2 hr wait every time.

Brilliant stuff

This is not a pleasant read.

A price label for a pineapple from Aldi. The price has been reduced from 99p to 98p

Big savings down at Aldi

Why are qualified devs faking their identity?
