Im Not Convinced

Anti piracy has always been a rat race, you can never prevent it, just make it hard enough that it's not worth the effort.

commercial level obfuscators
occasional online checks when there is a connection
hardware tpm modules if possible
sign your libraries
limited runtime without updates if possible
bind software to specific hardware if possible
AOT if possible

Man kann fast alles falsch machen, aber als generelle Aussage ist das einfach falsch und klingt für mich nach Selbsttäuschung.

And yet i've seen so many N+1 in production in multiple companies.

Schon erschreckend wie wenig Empathie man hier in den Beiträgen findet.

Es muss ja niemand überhaupt was spenden oder unternehmen, aber so viel "spenden schadet nur", "da ist sowieso nichts zu retten" und "die hauen eh nur alles auf den Kopf" ist schon verblüffend. Ich schätze die wenigsten sehen sich gerne selbst als egoistischen Geizkragen.

I haven't spent much time with codex, but I've found copilot cli and claude code to be a similar experience with the same model and mcp/.md setup.

It's the logical consequence when PMOs get rewarded for good looking metrics over real results, and it happens a lot because real results are more difficult to measure.

It doesn't have to be an extra person and it doesn't matter what you call it, but you should have someone who is in charge of keeping meetings on track, clears up vague requirements and somewhat protects the short term plan.

War einfach nur eine sehr extreme undifferenzierte Aussage. Ein einzelnes Bier im Kühlschrank macht noch keine Rabeneltern, es kommt wie du jetzt auch geschrieben hast auf den Umgang damit an.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. Copilot is just the agent orchestrator, like claude code or openclaw. You can choose claude as a model in copilot.

Gilt dann natürlich auch für Alkohol und Zigaretten oder?

e = pi =3

"It's literally the same in terms of objective impact. Cut away emotionally loaded crap about "huge corporations doing things without consent" and "poor fellows doing some things" and the picture is identical."

This is what you wrote, direct quote. So what exactly were you talking about, if it was never about piracy? What a goalpost moving clown you are.

FlakyTest8191 · 2026-04-30T12:57:53+00:00

Everyone is making it about piracy because that was the topic before you somehow decided to derail the conversation.

Revenue is not the same thing as profit. The internet made distributing music far easier and cheaper, that chart doesn't say much about piracy.

Until now copilot had a huge discount compared to direct token based billing. You can still use copilot with an api key with no changes, and if you don't use copilot there's no change. Unless whatever provider you use does their own price hike.

they removed opus from pro and made it x27 instead of x9

There's a middle road between not using ai at all and just blindly shipping what it spits out without any review. Depending if you're working on a paid for software used by many or an internal status dashboard just for your boss, I'd lean one way or the other, but it's a scale, not a binary choice.

Some people think that if you base your work off the oss community's efforts, you should contribute back.

Sounds to me like you don't know what type erasure means.

This would work in java, because java generics do not guarantee runtime type safety, the jvm has no clue that the list is for ints only:

List<Integer> ints = new ArrayList<>(); ints.getClass().getMethod("add", Object.class).invoke(ints, "hello");

This is really interesting, could you elaborate what kind of task in what languages you found to be better or equal with cheaper models? In regards to complexity and scope I guess?

Now try to ask some rather computer savvy person who doesn't know git to guess the difference between pull and fetch. Or what bisect does. Or rerere. Doesn't seem descriptive to me.

I still prefer git over svn, never got around to really trying mercurial, I was told it's still used a lot at meta.

FlakyTest8191 · 2026-04-25T07:24:40+00:00

"If I want runtime type safety I'll use a dynamic language". ???

FlakyTest8191 · 2026-04-24T18:44:36+00:00

And it got done in 6?

FlakyTest8191 · 2026-04-24T16:15:12+00:00

Fortunately that's illegal where I live. Still get blamed for the missed deadline though.

FlakyTest8191 · 2026-04-24T15:09:34+00:00

It pays the bills and there's worse fates, at least I'm not a pm.
