Second AntennaPod. Best podcast app I’ve found so far

Thanks for the rec!

I think the main reason is priorities.

USB is standardised. File structures are also standardized (if you ignore different storage formats like ntfs, FAT32, etc). Everything that USB drives have to deal with is solved and standardized.

Meanwhile, network specs are continually changing due to security concerns. If you have 2 devices connected, you need to have a secure way for those 2 devices to verify that they’re the correct devices. That’s not as big of a concern for USB drives, because if a bad actor has physical access to a computer you generally have bigger problems to deal with.

Plus, hardware vendors like murkying the waters by pushing for their internal implementations when possible, preventing standardization across the entire industry

What’s the advantage of using a slow USB drive instead of just network-booting the install media or mounting it through IPMI?

Why spend 30 minutes setting up the networking when I could just plug in the USB and go do something else for 5 minutes?

I think the only holdouts are Raspberry Pi. For some reason they still don’t have a USB-C option for the nano

Malicious compliance

Tbf, Smeagol was one of the River Folk, who were related to but not quite Hobbits. I think you’d have to answer whether River Folk counted for the guy before deciding whether Smeagol still counted as one of the River Folk

And none of that has to do with pointlessly high fidelity models that take too much time and people to produce

Goddamn I hate the internet sometimes. Why have I only heard of the Moddo Mouse now despite several searches the past 2 years!?!? AND IT’S WIRELESS!?!?

(Edit: Ah, missed the part where you said this just released)

Anyways, thanks a lot for sharing that. Definitely going to be eyeing this for a new mouse.

Also, do you know if the PCB supports more than 2 side buttons? I’ve been deperately looking for an option with 4+ side buttons

Fair, but those bits on the sides of the main mouse buttons are also buttons

Instead of that, you could just search online and go through examples on how to use the API’s in question. Then you actually learn and gain experience in that task, which you wouldn’t get if you have AI get you 95% of the answer from the start.

While having an AI code something you’re unfamiliar with is more efficient for that specific task, over time it’s less effecient and detrimental to you as a programmer. Think of it like getting a teacher’s edition of a textbook for a class. You can answer questions more quickly by looking up the answer in the back of the book and copying it down. Sure, you absorb the answer a bit, but not nearly as much as if you worked through it yourself.

Now think about the differences between junior and senior dev jobs. What’s the primary difference? It’s experience. If you’re a junior dev that has AI do all the hard parts for you, then you’ll gain experience slower than another junior dev that does everything on their own. In the future, that other junior dev is more likely to get the lucrative senior dev promotion than you because they’ve built up more experience.

It can help fill in with weaknesses that slow developers down.

No no no no…

You don’t want AI replacing devs where they’re “weak”. That is literally the worst thing you can do with AI. All that does is mean the devs aren’t qualified to assess and debug those portions of code. The solution to devs being “weak” in an area is for them to gain experience doing that task.

Some programmers use AI to make boilerplate code they can easily check to save time without much issue. That’s about the only thing you can use AI for in software development with little risk without taking up excessive time checking/fixing what it shits out.

“Painful” could easily (and mostly likely) refer to extremely low profit margins that would take several years to pay off the development costs. And that quote specifically refers to the base 64GB version. The price difference between that and the 256GB version was way more than the increase in storage costs, despite that being the only difference.

Also, I absolutely knew you were going to reply with this quote despite it not being evidence. Congrats on being extremely predictable.

Calm down, Pol Pot

I though that was Shia Lebouf

They were definitely selling at a huge loss with the original prices

No they weren’t. There is literally 0 proof of that. Quit spreading misinformation

Good thing there’s Chinese manufacturers that started that years ago and are just now starting to push more ram into the market

First game was hot garbage. I don’t get how CDPR managed to stay solvent long enough to make a second game, let alone a third. The stance system was horribly though out.

Then the 3rd game’s logic for whether you get the good/bad/neutral ending was also terrible, and the main split happens 20 hours before then end of the game. Not only that, to get the good ending you have to completely skip multiple scenes. Completely stupid, and ruins the entire game.

The way I see it, CDPR owes me at least one full priced game with how much of my time and money they wasted on this bullshit. They don’t get a dime from me until that balance is cleared, and I include GOG in that boycott.

Making a reply this confrontational is probably doing more harm than good. Cookie-cutter replies don’t help, you need to actually tailor the response to people’s needs.

Also, sometimes parents are completely terrible people. I have a grandmother that only sees people as things to manipulate. She doesn’t care about her kids apart from how they affect her image, because she’s a Trump-level narcissist. Making claims that could easily be wrong also hurts your case

I’ll have to try that
