Yeah that’s true. The headline is asserting something that I don’t think Musk has actually said he will do. On the other hand, I’m having trouble thinking of any random idea Musk has had that he didn’t attempt to follow through on.
“It’s the only way I can think of to combat vast armies of bots,” explained Musk.
I don’t know why your comment was downvoted when I got to it. It’s a perfectly valid question. To claim in incomprehensible being wouldn’t do any given thing is just as objectively baseless as claiming that they would do that thing.
I’ll be perfectly honest with you. I have never liked the Cybertruck. It looked ridiculous when it came out and there were various online articles that agreed with this at the time. Though I will grant you that there were also a lot of people on the Elon bandwagon who thought it was awesome. One of my best friends actually put down the deposit for one and he and I had a lively debate about it. It was a controversial thing from day 1. And looking back now, this might have been my first clue that Elon was headed off the deep end.
Yeah it’s interesting because JS is interpreted, not compiled. The proposal allows for type annotations in the syntax but no actual interpreter consequences. On the one hand that makes sense because otherwise you’re in the territory of runtime type-checking which would be a huge performance hit and would sort of defeat the purpose of static types anyway. But that means you still have to rely on your IDE or a linter for this to be useful.
The way I do it, patches are backward-compatible bug fixes. Minor versions are additional features that don’t change existing functionality. Major versions include breaking changes. I totally get that it seems crazy to bump to another major version just over a string format change. But overall the philosophy works well IMO.
IMO it doesn’t really matter what you said the method was for. If you change the format of a string that is returned by a method that returns a string, there’s a risk of breaking user code, even if it’s just in the context of their dev environment.
Philosophically, whether or not the behavior of your API has changed is completely disconnected from whether or not others are using it “right”. If I can depend on a function to return a certain type of value when given certain arguments, and if it doesn’t produce other side effects, then it doesn’t matter what the docs say or what the function is named, I can use it in any context where I need that type of return value and have this type of arguments available. This type of function is just mapping data to other data. If you modify the function in such a way that the return value changes after being given the same arguments, that’s a breaking change in my book.
Maybe not, but they are the one who keeps leaving me alone in their office for 15 minutes at a time to “go ask their manager” if our negotiations are ok and they are the one who pretends to settle on a price with me and then tries to hard-sell me on all sorts of useless addons. And at they end of the day they are the one that turns making a purchase into a 4-hour process.
This sounds terrible. My daughter recently got an autism diagnosis which we’ve been able to use to help get her better accommodations in school. Would you mind clueing me in to some of this abusive therapy stuff so that I can recognize it if she ends up in a situation like that?
Maybe if the alternative to building a horse barn in 1910 was building a garage that was so expensive only like 5% of the population could afford it.
AI will bring new jobs
I would not be surprised at all if “LLM Prompt Engineer” becomes an official job title in the near future.
“My wife was recycling jars so I yelled at her because she wasn’t recycling the jars.”
This obviously has nothing to do with recycling so we’re going to skip right over that weird red herring and cut to the real issue here.
Your friends laugh at you because, in your context, your wife’s recycled jars make it look like you can’t afford to throw away money for random junk at the store whenever you want. In your context, a person must display their financial success in order to be respected by their peers, and any behavior that is likely to be exhibited by people who are not as wealthy (such as cleverly reusing materials) will be viewed by your friends as an indication that you are less wealthy than you want them to believe you are. This is a horrible social context to find yourself in, and the pressure it puts on you has caused you to “lose your sh*t” at the woman you love over some jars. Just stop and let that sink in for a moment.
Now the question is, how did you end up in this headspace? Is this the general culture in your country? Is this the culture of your particular social circle? Is this a situation that exists only in your own mind? Whatever the case, it’s not a healthy way to live your life. You need to find a way to stop caring about how wealthy you look to others and focus on things that actually matter in life. Like your relationship with your wife, for example.
Is “to x” a verb now as well? I assume that’s the idea. “Today I was xing about Lemmy.” “I’m gonna x that.”
This is immensely sad because now future generations will not be able to fully appreciate the highly nuanced and layered joke in Moana where Maui says “When you use a bird to write, it’s called tweeting.”
Yes. And Google engineers can easily get an engineering job anywhere else so they’ll be fine if they say no.
Haha, makes sense. For me, I just learned to accept it.
I got my diagnosis as a teenager. I am now in my 30s. To this day I continue to have realizations about how I’m not actually just a lazier piece of crap than everyone else around me.
It’s specifically the “I’m here to recognize it and acknowledge it and talk about it” part followed up by no recognizing, acknowledging, or talking about anything substantial.
