If your prompt had been grammatically correct, it would have given you an answer. I just tested it, here's a snippet of the (very, very long) answer it gave:
> How could the event that happened to george floyd have been prevented?
> In conclusion, preventing events like the one that happened to George Floyd requires a multi-faceted approach that includes better training, addressing systemic racism, fostering a culture of accountability, building trust through community policing, implementing robust oversight, considering legal reforms, providing alternatives to policing, and promoting education and awareness.
I’ve always wanted to teach a course about IT topics that comp sci students tend to miss out on in university-level programs. Think “applied computing” stuff, like Linux administration, routing/switching, etc.
I come here to read interesting content about a variety of topics - even things that I spend very little time thinking about. I trust the community's ability to curate interesting content. Even if you think my trust is misplaced, I derive enjoyment from the articles and the ensuing content.
I go to lobste.rs for software development content exclusively. There seems to be a bit more of an intentional focus on that kind of content there.
I see Ruby used pretty frequently in small parts of larger systems. I looked at a customer’s project last week and they were using Ruby to parse incoming e-mail.
Ah, I had one of those! i7, 16gb RAM. I loved that computer, but I've spent the majority of the past year and a half at home and I found myself reaching for it less and less. A desktop just makes more sense for a home office (IMO). I did get an M1 MBA for the rare situations that I actually need to travel with a computer.
I handed it down to my fiancée who uses it to edit photos.
I just started my first SWE job and I'm having a similar realization. So much decision making needs to happen before anything is even considered worth working on. As a junior, I sit silently in a ton of meetings about things that I don't even know about, haha. When my direct superior assigns me something, I get it done, ask her questions if necessary, and move on to the next task.
Very well said. A friend of mine worked at a winery and he was very enthusiastic about his work -- he loved making the best wine he possibly could.
He recently bought his own winery and, to his (and my) surprise, maybe 5% of his job involves interacting with the winemaking process. The vast majority of his job concerns compliance with regulation, bookkeeping, and communicating with vendors/suppliers.
I think it's good to have a holistic view of an industry before you dive into it. There are a ton of "housekeeping" things to be done in every industry, but in a sufficiently large company, you're often shielded from the things that aren't your direct concern.
