Business speak like always, which tbh normal people should just tune out. We’ll see if firefox changes for the good or for the worse when it gets updated.

Ah yes I too love it when I get results with none of the actual creative process, because the end result is all that matters

How tf are hdds going up in price

Did the data centers somehow buy up all the sdds and decided nah we need more, lets buy up all the hdds too

Like ???

At this rate i gotta start grabbing my old drives to reuse because apparently 2010 equipment is back on the plate or smth

So now does this mean you can just say it was ai generated and you can’t get sued by disney /s

I am not good at organizing

Not really equivalent

Companies have the jurisdiction to decide who to hire, and it’s painfully obvious if someone doesn’t know their own major

And if a degree doesn’t lead to career growth, it doesn’t really mean much unfortunately.

A college using ai to teach hundreds of students benefits none of the students, even the ones that genuinely want to learn

still possible, typescript is only strongly typed if you and everyone else working on the project wants it to be.

Unironically yes, mostly cause most websites on mobile are the most horrid experience and an app for the average audience is just how phones are nowadays

I have hope. Last time they got hit with an anti monopoly lawsuit that should’ve forced them to sell away chrome, but unfortunately they got bailed out. Here’s hoping next time they aren’t so lucky

I hope google fails as a whole in the near future and gets dissolved once and for all. Sick and tired of tech companies trying to be sources of authority, working with authoritarian governments, and dictating what you can and can’t do.

The issue with my org is the push to be ci/cd means 90% line and branch coverage, which ends up being you spend just as much time writing tests as actually developing the feature, which already is on an accelerated schedule because my org has made promises that end up becoming ridiculous deadlines, like a 2 month project becoming a 1 month deadline

Mocking is easy, almost everything in my team’s codebase is designed to be mockable. The only stuff I can think of that isn’t mocked are usually just clocks, which you could mock but I actually like using fixed clocks for unit testing most of the time. But mocking is also tedious. Lots of mocks end up being:

1. Change the test constant expected. Which usually ends up being almost the same input just with one changed field.
2. Change the response answer from the mock
3. Given the response, expect the result to be x or some exception y

Chances are, if you wrote it you should already know what branches are there. It’s just translating that to actual unit tests that’s a pain. Branching logic should be easy to read as well. If I read a nested if statement chances are there’s something that can be redesigned better.

I also think that 90% of actual testing should be done through integ tests. Unit tests to me helps to validate what you expect to happen, but expectations don’t necessarily equate to real dependencies and inputs. But that’s a preference, mostly because our design philosophy revolves around dependency injection.

To preface I don’t actually use ai for anything at my job, which might be a bad metric but my workflow is 10x slower if i even try using ai

That said, I want AI to be able to do unit tests in the sense that I can write some starting ones, then it be able to infer what branches aren’t covered and help me fill the rest.

Obviously it’s not smart enough, and honestly I highly doubt it will ever be because that’s the nature of llm, but my peeve with unit test is that testing branches usually entail just copying the exact same test but changing one field to be an invalid value, or a dependency to throw. It’s not hard, just tedious. Branching coverage is already enforced, so you should know when you forgot to test a case.

Edit: my vision would be an interactive version rather than my company’s current, where it just generates whatever it wants instantly. I’d want something to prompt me saying this branch is not covered, and then tell me how it will try to cover it. It eliminates the tedious work but still lets the dev know what they’re doing.

I also think you should treat ai code as a pull request and actually review what it writes. My coworkers that do use it don’t really proofread, so it ends up having some bad practices and code smells.

I’d be inclined to try using it if it was smart enough to write my unit tests properly, but it’s great at double inserting the same mock and have 0 working unit tests.

I might try using it to generate some javadoc though… then when my org inevitably starts polling how much ai I use I won’t be in the gutter lol

Another note is that if you use any social media with following:followers, popular artists usually have their mutual artist circle as followed, so you can bounce around artists just by looking at who they follow.

Pixiv is a site that was made for japanese artists, though it’s technically open to anyone.

An unconventional way is to look for artists from yearly releases. I have 2022 of this one:

https://united-states.kinokuniya.com/bw/9784046848000

And you can even find regional artists from similar artbooks

Edit: I forgot to mention but you don’t have to purchase the physical book, you can find the features artists like so:

Big tech in HCOL areas (Seattle, all of Cali, etc.) pay new grads about 100k to 150k base, with a hefty sign on bonus (anywhere from 20k to 50k). RSUs usually only vest about 5 to 10% of their total stock in the first year, but thats about 5k to 10k

Of course HCOL means this money is relatively less than it seems, but still a lot for new grads.

Considering october is the planned end of life for w10 I wouldn’t be surprised

I had a garmin vivomove hr. The idea behind it was pretty neat, but it was too annoying to keep charged.

Yea they’re pretty much the only brand still.

I liked my garmin vivomove, it was pretty nice despite some clunkiness (the one I bought was early on)

I’d like to try one, but I feel like I might end up not using it often or just not liking it

On a side note I wish hybrid smartwatches were still a thing. Most of the product lines are discontinued, but I liked the idea of it.
