Remind me again, it slipped my mind: How many of those holes are globally completed and in operation legally, explicitly rated for high-level radioactive waste and NOT explicitly labeled as an intermediate solution?

Asking for help moving will show you really how far some people will go for you.

That’s quite the drastic conclusion to draw from people telling you when they are available (and that not being literally always) to help you for something you most like presented as not critical or dramatic when you asked them. Do you seriously expect people to preemptively cancel all their existing plans based on a hunch you might judge their whole character and the sincerity of your friendship on the sole trigger of a seemingly innocent “hey, when would you be available to help me move?”?

If you want to at least give people a chance to adjust, don’t ask “when are you available?”, instead try “[date] is when I want to move, can you fit helping me then into your schedule?” at least a few weeks ahead of that date.

Sure this is bad, but is it really “becoming even worse” after he already publicly declared support for Trump?

I have tried some and I do like bouldering. Unfortunately that does not cover all relevant muscle groups.

I am a bit envious of people who perceive the gym as a hobby. For me it is more like brushing teeth: Not fun in any way, but I do it anyway because I don’t want to deal with the consequences of not doing it.

So you are saying they are combining nationalist and socialist ideas? Do they classify themselves as a workers party?

Might have heard something like that before somewhere, just can’t put my finger on it.

Did you find a way to see how many of those credits you already used? To me it looks like they have completely removed access to that information from individual devs and only admins can manually generate reports containing it.

Very useful for hobbyists and prototyping.

True, but that is not the only thing they are useful for; e.g. many high end measurement instruments ship with FPGAs so they can get improvements after release for functionality where implementing it in software would be too slow.

I fully support this idea for everyone else, this is clearly the right way to approach the topic.

Doesn’t stop me personally from trying to transform a few more kilos of fat into muscle though. My excuse is that it is for health reasons, but deep down I know vanity is a relevant factor.

Yes.

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Excellent comment and I fully agree with almost everything. Just one tiny nitpick:

For example if I have some sort of complex calculation, but it’s based on a well known algorithm, I might comment the name of that algorithm.

Unless you really need this complex calculation to be inline (e.g. for performance reasons) it would be better to move it into a function or method and include the algorithm in the name instead of adding a comment.

Not just beginners unfortunately. One of things I have to almost always teach to new colleagues, even experienced ones, is to put at least some minimal effort into making the code itself readable instead of relying on comments as crutches. Just basic things like picking proper names for variables and functions.

So every sane dev will just sit that day out, do nothing and then once it has all blown over one of them will hard reset main to right before the silly time started. Sounds like a chill time, but not a good plot for a movie imo.

This is not a meme, it’s just an ad.

Not really an answer to you, just writing it here in case anyone else interested is still reading along:

I looked up some numbers and apart from the practical challenges of making a battery “go boom” in a controlled way it seems like the energy density to even make this a hypothetical option just isn’t there. Even the best LiPo batteries don’t quite reach 1 MJ/kg while gunpowder has ~3 MJ/kg, and numbers only go up from there for more modern chemical explosives.

Sorry, my wording was very unclear. I was referring to the LLMs having a small but non-zero chance to actually get good enough to replace senior devs.

You are right though, chances for the average junior dev to reach senior status are much better than for LLMs to reach that stage any time soon (if ever).

They might, but it does not seem likely to me and is definitely not guaranteed.
