Am I the only software engineer greatly worried and disturbed by AI ?
  • So far it is mainly an advanced search engine, someone still needs to know what to ask it, interpret the results and correct them. Then there's the task of fitting it into an existing solution / landscape.

    Then there's the 50% of non coding tasks you have to perform once you're no longer a junior. I think it'll be mainly useful for getting developers with less experience productive faster, but require more oversight from experienced devs.

    At least for the way things are developing at the moment.

  • Larry was paid $4.20 an hour in Australia. It’s not enough to live on – but it’s completely legal
  • It depends, my father is disabled and just wanted to feel useful. In the end he was unable to be productive enough for it to be worth the extra time from the colleagues supporting him.

    I'd be happy for the government to subsidize the salaries to match an actual minimum wage, but it is unrealistic to expect disabled people to match the efficiency of abled people and compete with them for jobs of an equal salary. They might not be able to find employment very easily then, which really hurts those who wish to participate in society.

  • France fines Amazon $35 million for 'excessively intrusive' monitoring of warehouse staff
  • In the Netherlands we have bol.com that is generally more popular for online shopping, but in other countries amazon entered the market pretty early.

    I've only tried Amazon a few times, but it doesn't really seem like a quality service so who knows 🤷

  • VR headset for people with glasses?
  • Thank you for the tip, the lens insets do seem like the ideal solution, but having the space for glasses might be handy for friends or family as well. It'll be something for me to keep in mind.

  • VR headset for people with glasses?
  • Sweet! Sounds easy enough if I want to share with someone. Looks like they have options for a ton of different headsets, now I'll just have to figure out whether I want to upgrade first. Thank you 😊

  • VR headset for people with glasses?

    A few years back I got my brother's old htc vive VR headset. While I did greatly enjoy playing beat saber on it, I eventually stopped using it as it required me to take off my glasses. I can see semi-okay without glasses but it really tires me quickly and at the end of the day it was a no-go. My glasses don't fit inside the headset and I'm not going to wear lenses (mild phobia about having anything near my eyes).

    Which VR headset out there allows for enough room to wear glasses? If it's the playstation one i wouldn't mind getting a ps5, I'm really open to suggestions.

    Thanks for any advice you can give.

  • I miss using tfvc. Everything except for branching worked pretty well in visual studio.

    Branching worked fine if you didnt have more than 2 or 3 too.

    Sadly branches are pretty useful so git it is.
