Communities moving to ‘chat’ based platforms instead of traditional discussion boards is something I’ve observed a lot in the last few years. Which certainly feel like a step backwards in my view. It keeps happening though, so I must he in the minority opinion on this.

Calm down there Satan, that sounds pretty awful.

What kind of grinder do you have?

It seems that comment went right over your head.

You had me until the toss, because Aragorn definitely can toss a dwarf that far, but the rest? All made up.

Should is the key word here. You pay a lawyer to find out, which probably isn’t worth it.

Folks drive at what they feel is a safe speed for themselves. The posted speed limit doesn’t really seem to impact much, when the road is wide, the lanes are big, and there aren’t many turns or traffic calming elements, people will go fast because others are going fast.

That’s been my lived experience, and generally is supported by research that its road design more than anything that dictates speed.

This is absolutely not how they are designed. Maybe in theory, but in practice I’d say its way more than 15% of traffic speeding.

I don’t understand why there aren’t more progressive web apps to combat this. Maybe the google drive integration would still be a problem, but you can avoid app store shenanigans by deploying directly to your users.

Why is that? I’ve read them referred to as dark matter developers (forget where I read this, maybe a book many years ago). They’re out there, they make up a majority of the field, yet they leave no trace because they do not blog, post on SO, or back in the day forums either as questioners or answerers.

I’m don’t disagree. Good developers use the tools to do better, but its incremental not revolutionary improvements for already competent developers.

I think I could have states my opinion better. I think LLMs total value remains to be seen. They allow totally incompetent developers to occasionally pass as below average developers. Is that good or bad? I don’t know. What an average and excellent developer can do with LLM assistance is less clear. Certainly it can help those developers in some situations.

If Cortana had copilots LLM behind it, it might have survived.

There are a LOT of superficial devs out there. You dont even have to be interviewing junior devs. Plenty of them out there at medium and senior levels. They existed before LLMs were spitting code like today, and this will undoubtedly lower the bar for bad developers to enter. It remains to be seen if this can help the gold developers in a meaningful way.

Link? I’d like to see. Always amusing to see that kind of thing.

Welcome to the Internet. Pontification is all we’ve got. Now we’ve got LLMs regurgitating the old pontifications to make new ones.

I came in with your same expectations and found the same shit. Just some opinion formed on the basis of “concern”.

Same here. That works well for desktop, they also have an electron app that wraps their web ui into a desktop app and it works well enough. Bridge works very well for any other desktop app you’d want to use.

The only trouble is that on mobile your option is their app or the web interface, no ability to use alternative apps. The mobile app is good, but not great.

Overall its a good service and I’m happy bit you need to know these limitations going in or it could be frustrating.

That’s fucking gold.

When its not optional to publish email only, the proposed solution is pretty reasonable imo.

Hiding a camera in person would be actively malicious if the other party doesn’t know. Having a zoom recording leaked is less actively.
