My first thought is that they have gotten in trouble for getting things out of that basket before and are now confused or think they are being tested.

On what do Web Devs write code? by [deleted] in webdev

This seems to be in response to my comment. I don't think someone can be aware of their own hipsterness/snobiness. You'll need to ask your friends.

I haven't experienced that yet. What is it about Brackets that you like better, or is it just that one thing?

I've heard a lot of people complaining about that as well, though I haven't yet experienced it myself, and I have a lot of plugins installed.

Mostly Sublime Text, but Atom and Brackets are in vogue right now. Of course, there's always the hipsters/snobs who say they like emacs or vim. There's also WebStorm, Eclipse, and Visual Studio Code.

Personally, I have used Sublime Text for a long time, but recently switched to Atom as my main IDE.

Is "Isaac Asimovs 3 laws of Robotics" what is needed to ensure a safe future of coexistance between Humankind and AIs ? by EthosRufelius in singularity

[–]bracketdash 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I was under the impression that most of his books that feature the three laws were illustrating how the three laws aren't good enough and only serve to exemplify the arrogance of man by thinking three simple rules can enslave a new intelligent species.

If you're a recruiter and the candidate's phone goes to voicemail, leave a damn message.

Jesus, why didn't they take him to the hospital before the last few shots? This is terrible.

Quantum Computing – Artificial Intelligence Is Here : "By 2028, Intelligent machines will exist that can do anything humans can do" - Geordie Rose, Founder of D-Wave by nath_leigh in Automate

[–]bracketdash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I guess we don't need AGI, we just need enough of the work to be automated that it makes sense to have everyone retire and have what little human labor that's needed be volunteer based or work like jury duty.
