I mean anyone who labels themselves as top talent or alpha or whatever, is generally full of it if you ask me.

No, I’ve never heard anyone use that term to refer to themselves. I just don’t know a lot of arrogant assholes though.

Standardize a response body across your APIs that specifies the cause of the non-2xx response. Have an enum per API/service for causes. Include them in the API doc.

If anyone still doesn’t get it, quietly dispose of them at your friend’s pig farm.

I inherited a project where it was essentially impossible to get anything other than 200 OK. Trying to use a private endpoint without logging in? 200 OK unauthorized. Sent gibberish instead of actual request body format? 200 OK bad request. Database connection down? You get the point…

You must be trolling but in case you’re not, the richest man in the world bought Twitter to silence left wing voices that were a danger to his ability to exploit the working class.

Now that he’s functionally the president of the united states, he obviously doesn’t want people to use Tor because that would make it harder to find and jail people who are against him.

I know like 3-4 people who I’d label 10x engineers and while all but one are male, they’re all non-toxic both at work and outside of work. Huge part of being 10x is enabling the rest of the team to work faster as well. If you just shit out code 10x as fast but someone else needs to pick up the slack to fix your bullshit and you don’t communicate at all because your work is sooo important, you’re not a 10x engineer, you’re an asshole. A true 10x engineer elevates everyone around them.

It’s because one is the loneliest number.

I think that’s to do with how permissions work.

Having wi-fi access can technically tell the app where you’re located so you need to give it location access

Which is stupid because it then also gets GPS access.

I’m not Russian either but it’s like Russian Facebook with all the problems Facebook has, but under Russian control rather than American. Supposedly even more deeply integrated with intelligence agencies than Facebook is.

It tries to be the only website you ever need to visit so it can always show you as and always track you.

The headline is what says there’s a privacy complaint.

1. You can ask Google to take down malicious requests for your name. With ChatGPT it’s never guaranteed.
2. ChatGPT is often used as a search engine so anything wrong it says IS spreading bullshit online.

Who actually rebuys overpriced Apple products every time a new one comes out? Clout chasers maybe, but not normal Apple users.

Up until very recently, only Apple had over 5 years of software support on their phones. With others you’d be lucky to get 3 on flagships and yet Apple had 6-7 years on some models. You could use your phone for 3 years, pass it on to a family member and they’d get to use it for another few years, while still getting updates. I’d argue that if you had a Samsung, you would’ve needed to update more often.

On the computer side they unfortunately do force regular users to upgrade after 6-7 years, which for that market is significantly less than anything running Linux. Of course if you know how to google it, you can get new OS updates for more like 10 if not 15 years. Still scummy. But nobody replaces them annually. Companies replace laptops at 3-4 years usually.

The original article and headline don’t mention AI, only the the headline of the English translation does. Shame to see them trying to clickbait international audiences. It’s our national broadcast, they don’t even make money off clicks. They usually have fairly good reporting too.

I’m guessing the editor Andrew Whyte had something to do with this. He wasn’t credited in the original article.

Also if they’re using AI for anything in the proposed system, it’s probably to detect which photos have drivers staring at phones. Simple image categorization. Not AI but a machine learning algorithm at least.

Poor translation of poor wording.

In Estonian it’s common to say “today we do x” to refer to status quo. If you say “today we’ve decided to do x” like in the article, it can sadly be taken in two ways.

Also that part refers to the lack of clarity on who would install average speed cameras IF we started using those. Nobody wants to pay for them basically.

But the core of the article is an autonomous system that would be installed on top of police cruisers and send out tickets without officer intervention. Check speed, check insurance validity Check if driver is looking at phone or if seatbelt is undone. Same system in stationary cameras would work as average speed camera. The insurance thing is just an API call, the other stuff is ML (image categorization) so I guess you could call it AI, but AI is not mentioned anywhere in the Estonian article.

Bring back Konqueror too while at it!

Edit: Apparently it still exists, it just isn’t the default on any mainstream distros anymore

Odoo actually. You more or less can’t use all the features, there’s too many. That doesn’t mean it’s the best ERP, it just tries to be a true generalist, which means it needs lots of customizations usually.

Yeah, the requirements should also be clear - or at least clear before any sort of implementation starts. Defining the requirements is a large part of what our consultants do and the more experienced ones know how to ask questions to get perspectives of people other than the “stars”. Takes months usually to get things to where us developers can get started on anything. We’ve built some hella cool shit for some customers but then you look at the git history and realize that it took the customer over a YEAR to go live. They must’ve easily invested six figures getting this ERP just right for their needs. Automatic imports from other software they use, lots of customizations, including some brand new in-erp apps. They’re loving it so far. But you don’t get this without considering a bunch of people’s needs.

at this point everyone knows

Yea I reckon most people don’t know. Terminally online people know. In your average household, Amazon is prolly considered trustworthy.

It’s because you’re supposed to customize them, not use as-is. We’ve had a lot of happy customers. Some send us gifts! But for the first year or maybe even couple of years, you probably pay more to your partner for implementation, customizations and advice than to the ERP developer for licensing.

ERPs aren’t for every company, different ERPs work best for different companies and different partners themselves have their own specializations. The one I work through (used to work for, but now I have my own company and just contract for them), does small to medium sized production companies. Think 5-200 employees usually. The ERP we work with is meant to cover every imaginable use case - which is why it doesn’t have enough depth. We add a bunch of stuff that isn’t there OOTB, sometimes remove things in default modules, etc.

But first you NEED an ERP partner to make the most of it. At ours the CEO is also the biggest salesman. He’s not afraid to tell you if he doesn’t think it’s a good fit. A bad partner will still try to sell you and that’s going to end up in disappointment for everyone.

Not for president Musk.
