"years of pleading" for an open relationship is kind of a flag. Maybe not a red one, but certainly a warning of some sort.
Also, not to repeat myself, but I think a lot of guys are kind of bad at dating and dating apps. There's a lot of self sabotage and then blaming external forces. A message of "hey" isn't going to win any prizes, and yet that's all some people can muster.
You don't need to be in amazing shape (though it probably doesn't hurt) but you need to be way more interesting and emotionally mature than the average guy.
If you're the kind of person who gets upset like in this meme that your newly non-monogamous wife got more dates than you did, you are not mature enough to be getting dates with other non-monogamous people.
It is kind of sometimes a can't-win situation.
If you don't fluff them up first, then they get upset that you're too blunt. But if you do add the fluff, then other people get upset that you're wasting their time with fluff.
Personally, I think a healthy person should be able to accept an email that says like "Please update SomeLibrary to 9.0.2 (or later) by Friday. The maintainers fixed a security issue, and we should upgrade" without crying about how you hurt their feelings, but many people are not healthy.
I think all of my shirts either have no logo, or have a logo for something i like and want to talk about (eg: a band, a local attraction).
I wouldn't want to advertise some soulless megacorp like adidas
If I woke up at 5am, I'd have to go to bed at like 8pm to get a full night's sleep. I went to a friend's party yesterday that didn't even start until 800pm. Getting up that early on the regular would mean a death blow to social life, or you'd be exhausted all the time from staying up into normal evening hours.
Ok clearly it's not literally about making CDs and people saying "just make your own streaming service" are both missing the point and vastly over estimating the capacity of the average person.
The important part that's largely missing from today's music environment is the personal touch and investment. Many people, as the author says, just comfortably coast through an algorithmic smoothie of familiar music. That is inferior to a friend saying "I made you this mix" and then you actually listen to it, attentively, more than once.
It doesn't have to be a CD. It can be a zip file. But the intention and focus was important.
I'm an outlier in that I never let "the algorithm" choose what plays. Sometimes I still make mixes for friends, though lately they've just been a collection of links. That process of choosing is meaningful. My friend still listens to the mix I made for them when their job laid them off, sometimes.
I feel like a lot of companies don't do things the good way not because the good way is hard, or the bad way is cheaper, but because management is stupid. Stupid or sometimes apathetic.
I think it's like that dunning-kruger idea. People who are bad at things don't know they're bad, and are poor judges of quality.
So someone who's kind of bad at coding isn't going to know or understand what the LLM puts out, so they won't fix as many issues.
Also humans are lazy, and when presented with something that looks good at a glance, we don't really want to dive deeper.
I saw a PR from someone today at work. Guy's nice but I don't think he's much of a programmer. He asked copilot to fix a warning. It did, and generated a linter error. So he asked it to fix that. It did, but for whatever reason decided to delete an entire function call.
Unfortunately that part of the code has no unit tests, so he just pushed it up for review. I look at it and I'm like if that call is important, don't delete it. If it can be deleted, remove the now-unused code around it. We'll see what he says.
He probably spent more time fussing with copilot than it would have taken to do it right in the first place.
This is a horrible idea and everyone involved in its conception and implementation should be barred from working in technology ever again.
Well I'm not on Windows anymore so I can't test it out. Does it still have the option to only show text raw and uninterpeted? I absolutely would not want it to, like, show bold instead of **bold**
I wouldn't want it to do anything other than show the literal text, and anything in that direction is a loss via added friction.
That wasn't the claim. My point was that driving makes the world worse. The presence of other people making the world worse to greater degrees or at greater speed is irrelevant.
You're arguing against a made up claim, probably to justify feeling attacked. Your ego is threatened. It's common for people to lash out when their sense of being a Good Person is threatened.
