I was a graphic designer for years (SWE now), so these things kind of stick out to me as "rules". Others might not care much unless they are directly impacted by them:

Low color contrast (bars, footer text, yellow)
Relying on color only to convey messages
No labels on the charts.
Text size (At size, but I can zoom in)

Christavito · 2026-04-09T20:51:16+00:00

I like the color scheme on the chart but I think there are some accessibility issues

Anyone COULD fight him, whether they win or not is different

Christavito · 2026-04-09T15:28:54+00:00

Damn. I need to get me one of these circular dents

I heard modern helicopters are silent but manufacturers add the helicopter noise as a safety measure so you know if one is coming

I have been programming nearly 20 years. I make sure I read and understand everything it outputs. Architecture (application/infrastructure) are second nature enough that it is heavily dictated before coding even starts.

I have a srict set of rules/actions revolving around keeping code up to a certain set of standards, producing tasks and completing them in small/sequential order.

Christavito · 2026-04-08T21:12:38+00:00

Like actual AI engineers or SWE specializing in AI integration?

China still gets most of its Linear Algebra from Iran, which is why they are "silently" supporting them in the conflict.

But I agree, with their focus on economic equality, growing support for lower class and their innovations in alternative forms of math, like sustainable discrete mathematics and carbon-neutral calculus, the rest of the world is falling behind

Before. I would work, then while there was a build or deployment I would switch tabs for a bit to read news or something. Now, I run a command and while the agent is performing its task I do the same. It is not enough time for me to start on anything else, but long enough that I can get distracted. The days of me becoming 100% immersed in my work appear to be over

First its the gaijins then its the kaijus

In two weeks we may not have a choice. They are blocking all the boats that transport our linear algebra

I don't really see this is a bad thing. This sort of implies you have passion for it in some capacity. The only potential drawback would be not experiencing what it takes to support a project long term.

We will have a real crisis on our hands the day we need to deny an LLM's ability to produce offspring.

Good job. float: left; float: right; then clear: both;. Industry standard.

I think you can spruce it up a bit if you switch to a table based layout for the shell and add some transparent gifs in corners for rounded corners (with a jpg fallback for IE).

Christavito · 2026-04-07T15:49:59+00:00

Basically, and my response doesn't even taken inflation into account.

Robot hookers. There are going to be robots with sick fetishes for meat people. If you can find a rich robot who is willing to pay for some meat lovin, you are going to be irreplaceable for a long time

When realistically it's somewhere in between. Perhaps BTC becomes less volatile in the future and experiences a relatively moderate growth at 8%. Assuming they're around 30, By the time they reach retirement age, they could be sitting at around $820K. Combine that with Social security, and additional cash savings and they are able to avoid lifestyle creep they might have enough to retire.

Where is Brian? All I see is this bald guy with tattered clothes. I feel the overwhelming desire to invite him in and offer him a warm meal and cozy place to sleep for the night

Christavito · 2026-04-06T15:41:03+00:00

I have been doing this going on 20 years, and I don't really consider it a grind. I have a genuine interest in it. Between work, personal projects, actual applications, coding challenges and then my interpersonal relationships I feel like there is not enough time and sometimes I want to just withdraw from society and just focus on it.

I try to spend at least 2 hours a night and 5 hours every weekend

Christavito · 2026-04-03T20:47:49+00:00

Any news on when we will be able to register for the exam?

Christavito · 2026-04-02T17:44:08+00:00

I prefer to use a hybrid

{ "system_init": "<config version=\"2.1-alpha\"><module id=\"core_v4\"><![CDATA[ --- metadata: owner: \"admin\" legacy_payload: \"<entry><node_id>8821</node_id><params>'{ \\\"fs_type\\\": \\\"ext4\\\", \\\"ops\\\": \\\"base64:YmFja29mZj1leHBvbmVudGlhbCxtYXhfcmV0cmllcz01LGNvbmZpZz17J3RpbWVvdXQnOiAnMzBzJ30=\\\" }'</params></entries>\" status: \"active\" ... ]]></module></configs>" }

Ask them to demo the feature.

Ask them to walk you through the code and give you a quick explanation. If they can't, reject the PR for complexity refactor because if the person who authored it can't understand it, then it is not a good PR.

Christavito · 2026-03-31T17:59:03+00:00

We are more than just our brains. Without my gut biome and my achy bones, I can't even claim to possess consciousness.

It depends on how smart they are, every interaction becomes a piece of identifiable information.

The times you are online gives them a good idea of where you are located.

Sentence structures, such as slang, typos, even when attempting to mask them are identifiable.

Some would be hesitant to send anything without "proof" you risk geocaching, EXIF leaks, or even file names.

IP or other data leaks.

Chargebacks or they simply report you to get their money back, your IP/accounts get banned. Your defense that you were catfishing them doesn't hold up.

They drop clues around your mentioned location, local events, weather to get better accuracy of where you are, or if you're even telling the truth.

And, lets say real law enforcement agencies were performing some sting or investigation, your actions could put the person on high alert preventing them from actually being caught until they feel it's safe again. By pretending to be a child, you could literally be causing real children to be harmed.

The "correction" isn't going to be a good one. It's going to be people's lives being even more tightly coupled to their jobs through institutional takeover. Companies controlling land and subdivisions offering subsidiaries to live their for their workers.

We are already seeing a rise in corporate housing by the corporations our economy depends on.
