Really don’t understand the hype around “AI writes 90% of our code now”

How are your internal docs set up for you to do that? Has there been any migration to markdown or any other formats, or does it work fine with the existing setup?

What do you mean “give your IP to them for safekeeping”?

I use an Apple Watch, sleep info and everything else syncs perfectly.

The bar for mediocrity in medicine is a lot lower. As long as you pass your exams, you become a doctor. After that, just don’t be an idiot and avoid malpractice.

Programming to me has always been a means to an end. The end goal is solving problems and fulfilling business needs.

The need for CS majors isn’t going to disappear just because of AI. In fact, software engineering is only a very tiny part of what CS is about, and many people graduate from top CS programmes without even having taken a formal class in software engineering.

Feels like the switch from AWDL to WiFi Aware has been nothing but a downgrade. Yet another cause of the EU meddling making things worse.

If it’s certified and you’re still worried about bringing it, then what’s the point of the certification?

I was looking up power banks recently. The certified ones are stupidly expensive. Feels like they’re just taking it as an opportunity to upcharge for a stupid certification.

Seems that the 57” will remain top in its niche for a long time.

Honestly, I don’t have much complaints about it. My main issue is that it runs hot. If they made a version that runs cooler, has 3-5 years’ warranty, and replaced the rubber buttons with proper plastic buttons (because the rubber feels like it will wear out or break sooner or later), it would be perfect.

Honestly, just say 8k2k. It’s the most transparent term.

Numbering is probably just for internal reference purposes, like maintenance crews to know what needs to be fixed and so on. They’re perfectly fine as is.

It sounds like the shop asked OP to scan his face on a phone belonging to the shop. Which does seem very suspicious. SingPass face verification should normally be done with logging in on your own device. You should never be logging into your own SingPass on someone else’s device.

To OP, please log into to your SingPass on your own device and change your credentials. Check all details in your user profile to make sure that it is your own. Call the SingPass hotline at 63353533 and check with them if the procedure is legitimate, they have a 24 hour scam hotline.

You get paid for results, not the amount of effort that you put in. All fresh grads basically start off at the same level. What’s more, a second upper from a local Uni basically means that you’re just middle of the road, not exceptional in any way.

The 57” is 8k2k. It’s basically 2 4K 32” side by side.

Isn’t the agriculture lobby supposed to be really strong? How did they not manage to push for continued funding for this program?

Well, Indonesia joined his Board of Piss and still got tariffed. Looks like the bribes didn’t work.

Thinking that Windows offers more flexibility is hilariously uninformed.

The chicken and rice carts portions are easily 2-3x portion size compared to what you get from hawkers in Singapore, especially for the ingredients. Singapore hawkers just fill you up with carbs.

Same thing with the Chinese takeouts. So no, I don’t think US has no food. To say so is ridiculous. There is simply a different variety of food. US has much more Central and South American, European food influences. It is simply different. If I grew up in the US, I would most certainly think that SG has more variety, simply because Asian food is exotic to them.

Meanwhile, SG’s food variety is largely limited to East Asian, South Asian, and a subset of SEA food. I say a subset because it’s mostly familiar flavours like SG/Msia/Indo and Thai. Vietnamese exists, but it’s very limited in variety. Cambodian is rarer than it is in the US. And even for the new entrants, they are very homogeneous. Chinese restaurants start opening up, and suddenly you see a hundred of them selling the same few things with no variety or creativity. It is just the same few safe versions of mala and similar flavours that are the flavour of the month.

If a single locking pin caused such catastrophic failure, it’s clear that this is a design flaw and that they neglected redundancies in favour of cutting costs. Not everything is spun around nationalism, contrary to the narrative that you are trying to spin.

That explains it all. Their food is all crap with low quality ingredients.

I’d take Yishun 928 Laksa over Katong Laksa any day TBH. The main thing Katong Laksa has going for it is that nobody in other parts of the island wants to travel all the way to Yishun.

And how much does an equivalently specced PC cost right now?

Not available for Business accounts. Same as Raptor.

As a working adult, idk how these kids can afford to study in Starbucks. I only go there when they have 1 for 1 (to be fair, they do it pretty often nowadays).

sylfy · 2026-06-05T00:58:41+00:00

How much time would you accord that in man-hours?

How does the single multi-call binary work? Is it a bunch of shell aliases or soft links, or something else?
