You could use Afrikaans as that’s the language of Musk’s home country. That way, you could insist that you were trying to make it easier for him to read.

Seems like a really good application for LLMs here. Use activity log as source and then turn it into a 500 page showstopper.

In German.

Well, as a lot of us are on instances hosted outside the US, a very long time.

The show is essentially about toxic work culture. It explores all the tropes with the twist that a person’s work consciousness is completely severed from their rest-of-life consciousness; one has no recall of what the other has done.

This is only for the workers and doesn’t extend to managers.

That’s why he had to seek out the authors and appoint them to key government positions… so he’d be properly informed!

Funny; that’s where my mind went too.

TV equivalent of OpenWRT?

So basically, all of iCloud E2E services xP

NextCloud provides the same services, so is an option:)

If by “party” you mean of the ultra-conservative variety….

For those in the UK: reminder that you can still back up locally to your computer to an encrypted file; you don’t need to use iCloud.

That’s what Trump really wants… a national monument in his name.

As seen in the Ars comments, the Ars article is missing a bit of context.

Musk got into a tweet war with the commander of the space station over whether Suni and Butch’s extended stay on the ISS was political. Musk eventually called him a mentally challenged idiot and then followed that up with a call for the ISS to be deorbited ASAP.

He’s already investigated himself and found that Xitter is a bastion of freedom. Same goes for Truth Social.

Came here to say this. Hopefully the systems in place are resilient enough to handle a leap minute (especially since they already exist), but it would definitely cause some instant issues.

The average person probably wouldn’t notice, but anyone working with time sensitive equipment would.

So Trump is anti-Zombie too?

He’s a politician. I’ll believe he’s stepping down when he actually does it.

What I REALLY get from this is that he’s not planning to step down during the next two years.

Tesla Germany: The Phantom Menace.

I can. I’ll listen to MeidasTouch’s take on his response instead.

In reality, coding is something you can learn on your own… or not. Colleges are good for teaching computing science and architectural design, but the good ones will assume you already know how to code. The problem of course, is that when you graduate you are unlikely to find a job as a computer scientist or software architect, and will most likely need to spend 5+ years as a junior programmer first.

Namanyay, I’m sorry to say, sounds like a relative newbie when it comes to software development. The refrain “junior software developers can’t actually code” has been around as long as software development.

I remember when Stack Exchange first popped up, senior developers complained “junior developers don’t actually LEARN anything anymore; they just copy code off of Stack Exchange without understanding what it does!”

And before SE? We were doing the exact same thing in the comp.* newsgroups. And before that? When you started developing something, a senior dev dropped a bunch of books on your desk and said “when you’ve finished reading those, let’s talk.”

The truth is, ever since libraries have been a thing, the majority of developers have just used the libraries without really understanding what goes on inside them. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing — the entire point of abstraction is so that developers can focus on the stuff they need to get done while ignoring the already solved problems.

The issues arise when you place code monkeys in software architecture or senior development positions, and they’ve never had the curiosity to read through the header files for those libraries they use, but instead just let Claude code complete their way to functionality. Because then most style guides with teeth go out the window, as there’s no intention behind the choices made.

And this results in something that really irks (and always has) senior software developers: instead of writing really clean, performant and novel code, those senior devs have to spend all their time doing code reviews and editing and refactoring codebases that nobody else understands.

Same as it ever was.

Doesn’t pretty much everything disproportionately benefit the 1% by definition?
