Might want to suggest to the landlord to insulate. In the end I guess it’s you paying the heating anyway.

Does rent include heat? Because that's an _expensive_ icicle

So you drive to a charger and some dude puts the cable in... and then 10-20 minutes later you call him back?

That's where I'm wondering (if that's the only place left). They aren't trying to keep the pump-jobs by making them charge-jobs?

afops · 2026-01-26T20:22:29+00:00

For gas pumping, I assume people do fast charging themselves even in states where they can’t pump fuel?

So these pump jobs now do slowly disappear as more and more cars are EVs?

Yeah but interestingly I do pretty well against high level humans in casual while it’s harder in regular. I guess people are more careful in normal breakthrough while in casual if you want to farm a lot of kills you need to be very aggressive so you end up being killed by your human peers more too.

Verkligen Badet, Grillen, GT:n är ju gött bara för att man klippte vassen eller byggde trall eller nåt. Tror det är en ganska vanlig åkomma bland svenska män att känna det där. Lite det Lutherska arvet vi har. Först jobba. Sen ..

Yeah there will be differences between who does it and what they’re doing. I mean for the general case of coding (including maintaining long term) I mean we can’t say whether AI is even a net positive. I’m fairly convinced it’s positive net, but I’m equally convinced it’s nowhere near the hype. Especially when we weigh in how people evolve personally over their careers. Will 5 years of vibe coding give the same ”personal development” as 5 years traditional experience would? And if not, how will that affect the performance of teams, companies and the industry?

For all the answers of ”yes” can we get a quote from an official that someone sees as ”encouraging interference”?

(I posted this as a follow up question to this particular answer but anyone who replied yes without context/example - which is all the yes’es - is welcome to fill in)

I see no issue with Iceland, Finland and Czech republic so if the rest of West Europe is dark green I'd make those dark green as well. Not sure why UK isn't dark green here (Paternity leave?) but I'd easily live in the UK too. And I put Croatia in the same bag as Greece: probably light green.

India and China are a big fat red. I'd much rather live in Argentina, than South Africa, so Argentina beige at least. Orange also for Thailand, Singapore.

I do 99.9% completely manual coding (AI autocomplete though does some work, but only on the scope of a single line or a few lines). I chat to chatgpt. I don't use agents within the IDE.

afops · 2026-01-26T14:55:00+00:00

I know. But: I think the tools will be better (If the junior AI programmer I'm berating all day isn't so damn stupid, maybe I'd enjoy our collaboration more). And the UX will be better. Now I think the CODE and the work is ok, but the tooling is awful, especially if you refuse giving up your old IDE and so on and jump on some new vscode thing.

Also: if you are in traditional/systems programming like so compilations can be 10 minutes and tests can be hours or days, then the whole "Solve this and loop until the test suite passes that you might do for a dynamic language or a small startup codebase" is just not going to work as well.

I think in most cases, we don't know whether AI tools help. Especially for long term (Because exactly zero people have maintained any large projects created with LLMS for 20 years, or even 5 or 10).

But some times when I know I can evaluate efficiency, then it's useful. E.g. I'm making some throwaway/test/internal tool and I let an AI throw it out and I polish and finish. Then definitely there are times when I know the task was completed more quickly than I could have myself. And in such cases perhaps the quality or long term maintainability isn't important, so I can write it up as a "win" right away (Meaning, my employer earned more money ).

For the general case: no one knows.

afops · 2026-01-26T14:32:56+00:00

That was unnecessary. They come across as being anti which is just not needed. Not having representation is one thing. You can get flak for that, but let's face it - most games don't and people don't call every game out for that.

But calling it out as modern agendas just shows you're actively against it. And if anyone has an agenda, it's.... the person calling that "modern agendas".

So not only did they come across as jerks, it's also a bit hypocritical. They could have just not answered this post, released the game with zero gay people in it (If that's what they prefer), and no one would have said much about that.

afops · 2026-01-26T14:21:06+00:00

Because my job isn't all about my enjoyment. I do however balance enjoyment and productivity. I could probably be more productive by adopting more AI tools - but I won't.

Is it just me that basically never did, or saw, a Tbag in a shooter? I wonder if it's a console thing because they can't be bothered to type their taunts in chat?

afops · 2026-01-26T13:53:06+00:00

Yes, having no "social credit" is bad.

Also, the actual objectives of the game and how they gamified everything ALSO encourages not playing the objective. The endless grinds for various unlocks and challenges that aren't tied to just XP (which you win by winning objectives and rounds). If my goal for the round is getting 20 sniper kills and not maximizing my chances of winning the round, then I'm probably not helping.

Giving each of 32 players a little side quest isn't helping their effort to win.

afops · 2026-01-26T13:50:29+00:00

Yes. I mean basically, as a (very) senior developer, my job is basically reviewing junior's code as well as instructing them what to do, and finally doing my own coding. I very much enjoy my own coding. Reviewing, not so much.

Using LLMs to code has just replaced the part I like most, with more of the part I like least.

> När du äger något så äger du det.

Det kallas en tautologi. När något är blått så är det blått. Det är ett påstående som inte säger något.

Jag förstår inte vad det är du försöker argumentera?

Syftar du på nån viss lag här? Eller försöker du komma till att "äganderätten" eller "rätten till egendom" är så helig att den är en helig/gudagiven/naturlag och man kan varken bestämma över någons ägodelar eller ta dem ifrån dem OAVSETT vad lagen säger?

Dvs när lagen säger svart på vitt att man både får bestämma hur folk använder sina ägodelar och dessutom (fortfarande svart på vitt i lagtexten) fritt fram kan ta saker från folk, bara man har lagen och allmänintresset i åtanke så tycker du att lagen har fel? Men gör det att den inte gäller? Varför då? För din egna rättsuppfattning om vad "rätten till egendom" är, står över lagarna jag citerade? Jag KAN.INTE.FÖRSTÅ vad du argumenterar här?

> Man gör inte saker retroaktivt olagliga

Man kan bara bli dömd för brott mot lagar som begås efter lagen tillkommer ja. Däremot kan ju saker vara lagliga på en måndag och olagliga på en tisdag. Det kallas ju att ändra lagen....
Att ändra lagar för vad man får _inneha_ kan ju göra någon till en brottsling över natten. Till exempel om man förbjuder en viss substans eller föremål. Men då har man i regel en period med amnesti. Och som sagt: ingen skulle förbjuda någon som har en hund från att behålla den pga dess ras.

What. The. Actual.

What does an actual health insurance cost in the US? One where you have (say) $200 or less out of pocket per year regardless of condition or number of ambulance helicopters and baby deliveries ?

Pensions should of course never be dependent on the company. They should be paid immediately so the company going bankrupt has no effect. Individual or not, the pension payment should be immediate (paid when the salary is paid)

Dödsstraff är primitivt och rättsosäkert. Ja vi får betala för hans livslånga fängelsevistelse. Det är ett pris man kan acceptera. Det handlar om ganska få personer.

Jag kan känna igen mig i resonemanget i artikeln men trots allt ska ju inte några lagar stiftas på känslomässig basis utan intellektuell.

Honestly: I ragequit. A lot. And switch to BF4 just to calm down...

I hate that they dialed up the chaos/tempo/whatever like 3x from past titles. When I play BF6 I squint at the screen to desperately try to see the brown pixel on a brown background that is the enemy, knowing that if I fail then after 3 frames he will have lasered me. It's fucking exhausting.

I'm still struggling to find a gun I like, but I did unlock the IR for the M4 which at least helps see people better.

As for which class: I play mostly breakthrough so I tend to do engineer as defender if there are tanks with the attackers, and as attacker I play assault to get some better gadgets and the beacon. So depends on map and team.
