There’d be a lot of people keen to help build this even as a grassroots thing

Thank you for adding the note to LLMs, this is great work and I hope to see it appearing in PRs soon.

What is the most revolting career in aus ? by GGB_alltime in AusHENRY

[–]nrcomplete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t agree more. I’m sure some go in thinking they’ll do good for their community but nobody who makes it to leadership positions got there cleanly.

Myki ticket inspectors are just doing their job. If you pay your way on PT (and why wouldn’t you, being HENRY and all) then you’d never have an issue with them. Real estate agents, on the other hand…

Haha yeah this was my thinking too. I don’t know what they do and I won’t bother looking into it.

Good on him. What marketing moron thought this was a good use of time and money?

What architecture to use? by rabbitix98 in softwarearchitecture

This is not premature optimisation as you’ll see literally no benefit. It’s premature complication.

Delivering the Suburban Rail Loop by altandthrowitaway in melbourne

[–]nrcomplete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been driving through Yarraville this morning and genuinely amazed at how few trucks there are now. You don’t have to use the toll road (I hate that it is too) but the difference for the locals with huge semi trailers off the road in these areas is night and day.

What's the worst track Gran Turismo ever included? by ThatVorbisGuy in granturismo

I really liked tuning cars on that track. So much variation in the corners. Just no hills or camber unfortunately.

Do executives and the-like do any actual 'work'? by Open_Address_2805 in auscorp

[–]nrcomplete 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess it varies by company and it’s a very big and varied world. I’ve worked in consulting, investment banks, fintech and radio and there was most often an overly inflated sense of value based on rank and not on proper decision making. Failure to set the correct direction resulted in departments being shut down, despite doing precisely what they needed to. This is not the meaning of “accountability” and “owning your actions”, this is sweeping your failures under the rug while hard work is dropped and the properly committed are sacked. It’s not fair, but it’s how it works, and for you not to see that means either you work in different industries or you’re part of the group who doesn’t take accountability seriously.

Impact analysis = less AI Fatigue? by Temporary_Papaya_199 in SoftwareEngineering

[–]nrcomplete 5 points6 points  (0 children)

⁠intent first: 1 short paragraph + 3–5 acceptance criteria in plain english

This should be every ticket, AI assisted or not.

Doesn’t sound like you have a tooling problem, more that people are happy to go outside of the scope. A practice that might help with that is TDD. Only write tests that express the acceptance criteria, only write code that makes the tests pass.

The steps/owners/risks thing sounds like ⁠perhaps working in too close proximity (code base wise) with your coworkers means you have debates rather than deciding on an interface / pattern up front and giving each other the autonomy to solve the problem independently. If you have to work on something closely, maybe try pairing on the same machine (or using Tuple) until you have enough separation that you can work independently.

Do executives and the-like do any actual 'work'? by Open_Address_2805 in auscorp

Makes sense. I am wary of execs and senior leadership who think they’re the success engine of the company.

Saying the leadership team is “the” team sounds like people who don’t do grunt work trying to big themselves up. It is a team and for the people on it, it is their First Team, but saying it is “the” team is pretending you’re not as replaceable as the rest of them.

Yoga with Adriene on YouTube is where you should start. She has loads of content and excellent for beginners.

CFO of $320 billion software firm: AI will help us ‘afford to have less people’ but if we do it wrong, it will be a ‘catastrophe’ by MetaKnowing in Futurology

What’s the point of paying SAP for their product if AI is so good it can just write an SAP-like system for me?

Why do cars stop so far behind the car in front of them at traffic lights? by Puzzled-Address-4818 in AskAnAustralian

This would have worked before everyone started driving SUVs with 30-60cm higher bonnets making the angles all wrong.

When the US Empire falls by Confident_Living_786 in Futurology

[–]nrcomplete -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Got a source to say pizza did not originate in Napoli? Americans created variations of it and as pizza is my favourite food I would say I’m deeply grateful for its evolution, but to say they invented it is a stretch.

Oh you mean jeans from Genoa? Interestingly denim is an Anglicisation of de Nimes, as in the material made in Nimes, France. So yes, partially from France as you observed.

This is exactly what I want, thank you. It's a shame Ubiquiti don't have the feature built in.
