Principle developer tip: rewrite history to make yourself seem smarter.
Soft reset the whole branch and commit a series of atomic and semantic patches (eg separating code, test, and refactor changes) that tell a clean narrative of the changeset to reviewers, future blamers.
I posted a few months ago asking if there would be any desire for such a social platform, on which I had a lot of wonderful feedback from you guys. So I thought I'd write this post to let anyone that's interested know that it is being built, and you're welcome to lend a hand!
The Great Filter is the idea that, in the development of life from the earliest stages of abiogenesis to reaching the highest levels of development on the Kardashev scale, there is a barrier to development that makes detectable extraterrestrial life exceedingly rare.

Oh my god, that's such a stupid and simple way to kill a galaxy, but also what a great plot twist that would make in a story. Like the big reveal over why the galaxy has always been at war with itself. Exactly the kind of nihilism I'd expect from an Altered Carbon or its ilk.
Roko's basilisk is a thought experiment which states that an otherwise benevolent artificial superintelligence (AI) in the future would be incentivized to create a virtual reality simulation to torture anyone who knew of its potential existence but did not directly contribute to its advancement or development, in order to...
Also a super intelligence (inasmuch as such a thing makes sense) might be totally unfathomable. Unless by this we mean an intelligence with mundane and comprehensible higher goals, but explosive strategic capabilities to bring them about. In which case their actions might seem random to us.
Like the typical example applies: could an amoeba guess at the motivations of a human?
Reminds of the accounts of people who owned enslaved people being afraid to let them go because of how they thought once freed they would turn around and slaughter their former "masters" because how could they not.

Yes!!! The only* game I've played start to finish in one sitting. The entire experience had me riveted. RIVETED.The aesthetic was perfect. The visuals, sound, music, art design, fiction! So good!
*okay I guess other than You Have to Burn the Rope.
How stupid do you have to be to believe that only 8% of companies have seen failed AI projects? We can't manage this consistently with CRUD apps and people think that this number isn't laughable? Some companies have seen benefits during the LLM craze, but not 92% of them. 34% of companies report that generative AI specifically...
I think we all had that first moment where copilot generates a good snippet, and we were blown away. But having used it for a while now, I find most of what it suggests feels like jokes.
Like it does save some typing / time spent checking docs, but you have to be very careful to check its work.
I've definitely seen a lot more impressively voluminous, yet flawed pull requests, since my employer started pushing for everyone to use it.
I foresee a real reckoning of unmaintainable codebases in a couple years.
Saw this on an ADHD Memes account on X. Shit happens more than I would like to admit. lol
Two panels. Top panel shows a cake with the words "You're nauseous because you haven't eaten." The bottom panel has a frustratied cartoon man with the words "I can't eat this I'm nauseous."

I wish it was still interoperable with IRC. It's come to really grate on me.
Yeah a thread is more like a close conversation. If you comment in a thread you're going to be heard front and centre. It keeps non-sequiters down and it's good etiquette to at least acknowledge the points raised above.
Tree based is more like splintered conversations around a party, where people drift in and out of side convos. This lends itself to a more anonymous, transient communication style.
Ideal for a quick little session on your phone, really
Wow thank you for sharing this. I am in love with this Organic Maps app. Normally loading a map and trying to find find my way in my phone is a chugging along, but somehow this is silky silky smooth.
Probably because it's not running a profile service and selling my conversation to an ad bidder looking to take me on a marketing journey.
Weekend just hit again and I'm looking forward to diving back into Tunic this Sunday. I'm a good way through it, but can only play an hour or so at a time.
I was honestly unimpressed to begin with, but the overall vibe, and detail of the manual pages, won me over.
As a stupid fucking young person I tried to convince my black friend that it was ok for me (a white) to use a racial slur (you know the one) using some kind of fucked up Louis CK logic, completely disregarding the fact that a) it's obviously not ok, and b) I really hurt his feelings.
I haven't experienced any noticeable racism other than someone using a slur on me because they thought (incorrectly) that I was mixed race.
Don't have an Xbox but I remember these games really fondly. This looks cool, but like, kind of insanely polished for a Fable game? Interested to see what the vibe of the finished game is like.
It's a nightmare scenario for Microsoft.

It kind of depends which of robot stories you focus on. If you keep reading to the zeroeth law stuff then it starts portraying certain androids as downright messianic, but a lot of his other (esp earlier) stories are about how -- basically from what amount to philosophical computer bugs -- robots are constantly suffering alignment problems which cause them to do crime.
