I just assume that once people start seeing how the dots connect in some areas, they will be able to quickly see that the populists' dots are all over the place. I believe the educated populist are only the ones that try to drive move, not participate in one.
As others commented already - the author does not seem to understand principal idea behind running a business - a company is not something "yours", because you can just simply sell your shares or be moved out from the company by other partners.
Company is a state's legal entity given to designated people to manage (the forming person/partners) and profit from doing it successfully. If those people fail they have to follow strict rules (liquidation) or they will be sued personally for misconduct. That entity gives much more possibilities because it is limited liability - part of which is held by the state, and part by the running founders.
If you want something yours, you go with the sole proprietorship.
One thing with the alternative search engines is that they are mostly working fine only for English speaking western world. At least in Polish and for Polish results they do much worse than google.
We tried to ship company-provided laptop from Poland to somewhere in India. After long time the parcel was just simply labelled "gone". And we paid very similar amounts for all the shipping/taxes/clearances. Nice to hear that such stories end well sometimes.
I must as intelligent as you because I also never understood why things like supabase even exist. I believe this shows how much front-end dev world is detached from how things can simple and secure by default.
I wonder if AI labs could be bailed out - like banks.
See, they kind of became a national asset and letting it go down, will leave USA watching China taking the lead for a very long time ahead. It just can't happen - right? So we'll just all fund it in taxes.
BMW's most recent infotainment is a big step backwards to me in both areas - aesthetics and UX. Its previous generation was one of the best in the market also in both. I literally don't consider buying the newest 4-series just because of it, especially of the ultrawide driver's "monitor" - it's just so ugly, and I regret it, since on the outside the car appeals me so much more. I'd rather spend the same on previous year model with better specs.
So this happened only because google is so big, that it can point to any website and say that it's not safe. Even if owner of a site just don't want to be in their search engine in the first place.
How on earth we ended up with this company bother anyone including those that want their services? Imagine that you could get your driving license banned because you did not buy a toyota...
Yup, LLMs are not "artificial intelligence" - they just generate most probable token, until their authors hardcode functionality for specific community tests.
Looks nice. I'd love to have a way to select anything on the screen or at least have a button to copy more info, like manufacturer name of a found device.
I think the benefits of either clean code (sepearate methods) and commenting "what" are of different kind:
- clean code one, for me it just reads easier, specific bits of the larger operation are not surrounded with noise coming from other bits like it is in the commenting "what" one. I can focus more on each step, and that can make it easier to spot a bug or to refactor/adjust/extend, as now I'm more like on a given page of Lego set instructions
- the commenting of "what" one - yeah, this obviously makes it quicker (but probably not easier) to see the larger picture. It has benefits, but I believe this helps more hacker/scripter kind of people than programmers
It could be done with :indeterminate state (so key in a cookie would be absent or removed when switching), but I'd probably would do it with radios instead
