You’re simplifying this to infinity.

Coca Cola’s empire surely isn’t dependent on Coke’s recipe, yet they’re still keeping it a secret. Same goes for the vast majority of for-profit organizations who do not want their core product’s recipe exposed, for a variety of reasons.


Temporarily reading into RAM and applying a regex isn’t the same as feeding your repos to a LLM, which may store parts of it permanently.

Obviously GitHub can read my repos in order to display them on GitHub.com, but access must be fleeting.


The conversation around this event is incredible. Why can’t I do something risky and deal with the consequences myself (i.e. death)?

I want to climb K2 alone in shorts, don’t cry my loss. I’ll die doing what I love.


The problem was they sold tourist trips in this deathtrap. Sure, do whatever you want by yourself, if it hurts only you. Selling this as a product, by tapping into the existing market for adventure tourism was borderline evil. The difference with this and generic adventure tourism is that this was about as survivable (I guess) as a round of Russian roulette.


You absolutely can - so long as you don't get other people killed in the process. The CEO of this company convinced customers to join him on his death march, which IMO is a worth crying about.


We don’t know the details, they could have been well aware. I’d buy a ticket in this death trap if I could afford it.


True - but I’ll choose to err on the side of being sad about the loss of life even if I don’t know all the details.


That list is almost funny, as if they’re already trying to kill us.


It would be funnier without the life endangerment, but it is funny regardless. Practical AI can be so smart and so clueless at the same time, it's like watching a kid grow up.

I don't know if massive fines are the way to go, because they could cripple that technology, but firefighters should have free reign to shove those vehicles around when they misbehave, or some way to signal them to get the hell out of the way.


There are plenty other articles for them. Not every alternative article has to denigrate the incumbent.


Mockups are mockups, they’re suggestions. More often than not, sizes and spacing don’t match across views and it’s a waste of time to be “pixel perfect.”


As I said, I don’t try to make the end result pixel perfect. I try to cut a balance between being faithful to the design and having maintainable code.

Spacing and sizes do matter though. There’s a reason why we have thousands of different fonts, even though 5 would be sufficient. When lengths are proportionate it creates positive feelings in the user. People are unconsciously very perceptive to small changes in proportions - it’s sexual attraction.


The amount of clicks isn't indicative of difficulty. Like with surgeons and relationships, the skill is in knowing where to put your fingers.


Overwhelmingly


> I expect better of tomshardware.com - this is clickbait

I think pretty much every creator jumps the shark sooner or later. Like for the "screaming face previews" on YouTube, clickbait really does bait clicks.


I've been "hiding my email" with iCloud+ more and more. The drawback is that now I don't know my password and email address for some of my services.
