-4k for some useless accessory sounds fucked up asf. What is this, marriage tax?

What does pro-USA propaganda has to do with personal media power of MAGA election campaign? They weren’t even at power to control the state propaganda before they won the elections.

They have their own botnets but they also use russian ones. It’s not mutually exclusive. The volume of bullshit matters.

They willingly cooperate with russia because russia helps them to take power via online botnets. Yeah, they are absolute scum, but you can find those in any society. The problem is foreign interference that gives them voice. Like the one USA now tries to apply to EU countries, boosting the far righters via social media algorithms.

“Went down” is for the people who believe in this drivel. I don’t think he do.

Can you elaborate on infrastructure part? I thought dev efforts are the key issue?

I once was helping to organize the testing of town-level algorithmic competition for school students.

The competition had one entry level issue that was basically solvable by reading the question properly, recognising that it’s just multiplication of two numbers, and writing the simplest app ever.

And there was one student who passed the automatic tests. We had to read the code too for the protocol, just to make sure there was no cheating.

We looked in the code. What? Why? It had two nested for loops and a++ inside. When we understood what’s going on we couldn’t stop laughing for like solid ten minutes.

I mean that’s the whole idea, you don’t create knowledge out of nothing. But it’s more than just preexisting belief, you try to grab it from collective unconscious.

Plus, card on itself doesn’t tell you anything SPECIFIC. The whole point of cards and magic is to believe that this specific card has bigger meaning, thus you need to interpret it, and think about it’s meaning. And thinking is useful. What conclusion you come up with depends more on the situation than the card itself.

Unless you happen to live next to russia.

Unpopular unpopular opinion: recording public places for yourself shouldn’t even be considered a bad tone. Distribution of those recordings should, unless they contain some illegal activity.

The Risk: Police authorities warn of overloading. In 2024, nearly half (48%) of the chats reported to the German BKA were entirely legal (e.g., family beach photos).

Fucking hell. You just use a messenger to send some photos to your relatives and some weirdo in a uniform looks at your kid.

I think it has the opposite problem, they start with the same question at the same time and most vote immediately.

Also rambling about tech being in ~100k figures and regular jobs being twice lower like it’s Irish thing in particular. American salary for the same position as Irish 100k is twice higher at the very least.

You are looking straight at the issue and no, it’s not getting better. Ireland is 2-3 story everywhere, Dublin has some 4-6 stories occasionally and most of the highrises are office buildings. 8+ is not a norm, it’s a huge exception.

People are used to houses / semi-detached. NIMBYs can block the development almost singlehandedly by being super vocal and annoying, yapping about that to all the local politicians.

Ffs even this article, what the fuck is that rambling about poor locals being priced out from south docks by Google? People won the lottery with big tech opening right next door so they can sell their gaff for double price, and how they complain to 25 stories in the north docks, straight near the best method of transport in Dublin and 20 min walk from the city centre?

And is the tech in the wrong for complaining about housing being mismanaged? They write about 400k for 3 beds, tell you what, that’s outdated pricing. 3 bed new builds are priced out of 500k, and the rest is subject to bidding wars - the decent one I’ve seen went from 390 to 485. It’s not getting better. Supply isn’t there.

you’re a code monkey

You write your code manually and I set up infrastructure to avoid that, who of us both is a code monkey? :-)

I write tech plans too, from time to time.

concrete example

I already gave one. With jira & figma MCPs you just tell “read ticket <link>, read figma, make a separate component named XYZ. Look at file QWE to follow the same code style.”

I regularly filter out tabs on laptop, bookmarking things and closing stuff that isn’t on todo list for the next 24h.

Mobile though, clicling that through UI takes so much time I can’t be bothered. I just open new stuff on top, and maybe sometimes go through tabs like as if that’s browser history.

This is literally in this thread.

Again, your solution should be already thought out and described in tickets and approved tech plan. If it’s not, SDLC problem.

And it’s not true that agents can’t help with edge cases, they can. If you know which points to look at, you task to analyze the specific interaction and watch which parts of the code would be mentioned.

I do write way less amount of symbols to LLM than I would when I write code. Those symbols don’t have to be structured and they can even have typos, so I can focus my brain activity on things that actually matter.

Plus, copilot is shit.

I rate your post as a skill issue.

This is necessary when working with 100% human code too.
