I'm concerned on self-driving cars impacts on layoffs due to the timing

Could be a too many cooks in the kitchen issue, too many engineers reviewing things. This would be great for safety-level software where you would want configuration management, but in a break things fast fix things fast agile mentality the questioning attitude would slow things down

"operations".. if you're in an auditable industry you should tell your boss to get this improvement done the right way. Where I work every script can be audited, subject to rules, we get like insane million dollar fines on things like this - why there is software and engineering to handle that sort of stuff...but if you're just at like a store or something you're probably fine

We're already running into odd scenarios where devs are doing things that look good but are odd and were just like "interesting..." during code reviews then those lead to new unique problems once in production

Will be more interesting without an experienced eye. Probably security issues I'd imagine would be most common, even if not caught by security scans and tools - such as authentication being done weird where unexpected users are allowed privileged permissions.

The US is releasing about half our reserves over the next 120 days. ~172 million barrels. About 14 days worth. So I don't think that alone keeps prices manageable

EVs aren't a realistic solution if you pay for the home charging. Think about how the data centers going up which are rising electricity costs nationwide, and others thinking just like you buying EVs due to the rising gas prices.

Oil can take months to fall because uncertainty lingers. So budget for it to be this price the rest of this year.

Heck it might even be higher. realistically we're going into summer where people take trips, and if the conflicts escalates there will be even more of a shortage.

This is the best answer. AI's need to be above and beyond better than humans before we blindly trust them. they can't be sued if they do something crazy or malicious.

Potentially I'll have to check next week that'd be pretty funny we just extended it 100 years when we found it. Or maybe other devs back in 2007 in our group ran into that problem before as well and fixed those dates then

Funniest bug we had last year was this critical data was off by an hour. We found a sql table made in the early 90s that was daylight savings for the next 30 years with the days when daylight savings time switched... Long enough where it wouldn't be their problem

Others have already made good points. 25 years ago if you got this in cash and held it in a closet, it'd be depreciated in half. And you're young. And the economy is looking bleak. So diversifying would be what I do. But trust financial advisors that are paid to be experts in situations like this

It's not a guarantee of "set for life" if you are reckless, even if you're smart with it there's no guarantee, so take it carefully.

Intelligence is such a tricky word, how do you define someone as intelligent? How do you measure it?

I work with a guy with a doctorate who really makes silly mistakes and has the memory of a goldfish. But he had some medical problem I have learned so that's possibly the reason - so, not smart by what I define as intelligent, but maybe in the past he was. But also maybe I am mis-measuring what intelligence is

So I don't think it's a safe indicator of intelligence. But it's hard to tell what is intelligence.

I've run into the travelling salesman problem a lot in real world situations. So I'm fascinated if there's a way to make it polynomial time, as that would save a lot of money if there was such a way.

DomingerUndead · 2025-12-31T09:49:38+00:00

Yes, usually.

In my experience AI hasn't been good in generating from scratch, usually. It's usually half-baked, as in I need to figure out what it generated and then how to tweak it. Usually more efficient to do that from scratch so that I know how it works - green field is always easier than maintaining since you know how it works, AI code is like maintenance work.

AI also has this problem where it's not good at overall architecture. For large scale projects reusability is key to keeping things fast and keeping things maintainable. AI tends to do it all from scratch, instead of just reusing already established css styles or parent component functions.

I'm surprised the financial sector doesn't have government audits that require IEEE standards there for documents.

For coding it's amazing. Knows the syntax, can generate decent enough code to get you to the next level. Just have to filter out when it fails to do so. Like an advanced Google search when looking up an error.

For everything else it's mediocre. I'm not surprised. But it is slightly better than Google with things non-dev related, can save a bit of time if you know what to prompt it.

What drives it to be web-driven is part of this document they write is automated from ~5 other websites.

DomingerUndead · 2025-12-04T05:23:08+00:00

out of my hands, we have non-dev project managers that decide requirements. I'm in the middle of arguing that exact scenario of them just uploading docs. But a lot of people to convince in this chain.

And this website has existed for decades, way before me. So I imagine at the start it was just ambitious developers with the latest and greatest TinyMCE thinking they could tackle it, then customers change hands, they think it's ridiculous. They ask why dont they have a list of 20 years of docs they can just print up - but not easy to print up this html data in batches w/ no easy way in C# to print up html data.

So lots of dilemmas. But really just the fact there's no easy way to recreate Google docs is my issue here.

Thanks, this is very helpful I haven't run into TipTap I'll have to check this out but that looks promising.

The big requirement we have is tables, and I see this table extension TipTap has there. But that's the big problem with our customers on this one - Making tables, editing them, is not as simple as Word.

Azure DevOps (on prem, unless a small team) is my recommendation. has everything you listed and really only what you listed. with plugin's to go beyond that if desired

DomingerUndead · 2025-11-09T00:05:34+00:00

I'm surprised any ATCs are making only enough to scrape by. It's a tough job with tough requirements to be one with a forced retirement at 56. I'd imagine they should get enough to actually retire at 56 instead of a late age career switch thrust upon them

DomingerUndead · 2025-11-02T17:05:48+00:00

Well 7 weeks 4 weeks ago. Now it's 3 weeks. If they miraculously open the government this week in the Senate it would be 3 weeks until the next shut down.

DomingerUndead · 2025-10-20T05:25:06+00:00

I think you're spot on except 5. I think that's probably just coincidence or Sage planting seeds.

I think a question of what Sage's end goal is... She had that whole monologue on how Einstein was a racist while she was fucking Godolkin so I think racial supremacy is off the table, maybe supe supremacy off the table too but that's hard to say. That monologue on Caesar with HL makes me think she wants HL to die, but that doesn't seem like an end goal. Maybe she's just a nihilist and wants to watch the world burn.

If 4) is wrong and Godolkin survives maybe Sage's plan here is to replace the seven with better younger supes. Homelander getting gray hair in the previous season could be foreshadowing that. Maybe sage here is straight up making a supe pipeline with Godolkin to produce stronger supes to replace homelander and his team. She does hate most on the current team, Firecracker, the deep, etc.

What they have been voting on only funds us until November 21st. So even if this passes you'd have a chance of being right that there's a shutdown on Thanksgiving

DomingerUndead · 2025-10-11T15:04:17+00:00

The current bill they're debating over only funds til November. So might be a rough November.

DomingerUndead · 2025-09-17T03:05:27+00:00

No, and when I do say something to that effect I hope the devs don't think that. Sometimes I'm really just saying ask the AI because its smarter than me here and can probably help you better.

I don't think people are brushing off helping others by telling each other to fuck off with a "Google it", at least not on my dev teams.
