I can only speak for what I see in the central European market, big banks like Unicredit (literally primefaces frontend), Erste group is running Java, basically all government services are Java.

Java is by far the dominant language on the job market in terms of number of open positions and salary.

Yeah, I think this is a more fitting meme to be about Java, because despite all the java is dead articles it’s still like one of the top most used language, if anything is a serious backend service it likely runs on Java.

Jira is the worst project manager software, except for all the others - Churchill

Who said Lotr is sci-fi?

I used LotR explicitly to show that Star Wars is closer to that and therefore a fantasy than it is to any well-known sci-fi.

Not really, in LoTr, they have a magical sword that shines around orcs, another one that can stop a ghost sword, and there are being with biological powers beyond the grasp of our understanding.

I think you are confusing setting with genre. By your logic the star wars and star trek porn parodies are also sci-fi and not porn.

Sci-fi is only sci-fi if science plays an integral role in the story, eg. Expanse, Stargate (shows), Star trek. But these are all arguably in space, so I get your confusion, that’s the setting, shows like Black Mirror and For all mankind are also sci-fi and those are present day things.

Well actually For all mankind plays out in an alternate past where the space race continues (though I guess this is also technically in space).

Black mirror explores humanity through the lense of abusing technological/scientific inventions.

So those are science based fictions, sci-fi.

Star Wars is space fantasy, arguably if we live in an alternate universe and the original trilogy is released in the late 2000s and 2010s they could be dubbed as YA. Random teenager protagonist finds out they are indeed special and helps to overthrow an opressive regime, like Divergent, Hunger games, Maze runner

Maybe I am getting old and I read somewhere that as you get older you tend to become more politically conservative or maybe I am a workaholic, but complaining about the 40 hour work week comes off to me as being entitled fucking cunts.

If you don’t want to work 40 hours a week then don’t, give up some stuff in your life and you can do it, or don’t, but then stop whinging.

Not sure if you know about it and I haven’t used it myself yet, but being able to create native executables could be relatively easy with this

I just shopped for a humidifier, purposely avoided anything “smart”, I ended up with a really fucking simple one, it has a hydrostat and can aim to automatically reach a level you want (40-50-60), has 4 speed,1,2,3,auto and sleep.

And the whole thing is nothing else just a wicking filter sitting in water that has a fan pointed at it, I think Technology Connectios would be proud of my purchase.

I will have to disinfect and change filters, but no need for distilled water like with ultrasonic humidifiers, and I boil my water and let it cool back to room temperature before adding it to the humidifier, hopefully that will help with staving off build up of bacteria

Russia has an army that is capable of invading another country.

As I said I am pretty sure they can’t even properly invade ukraine and are struggling there.

The only country in NATO that have done that is the US.

I am not an expert on this but I am pretty sure a bunch of EU countries joined the US in afghanistan.

Russia is losing against Ukraine, the fuck they gonna do against EU, unless they use nukes in which case who cares, it’s game over

Truly objective search results:

Oh yeah, that’s definitely shitty then, copilot does shit like that really easily

Either you are bad at chatgpt, or I am a machine whisperer but I have a hard time believing copilot couldnt handle that, I am regularly having it rewrite sql code, reformatting java code, etc

And cars cost the horses their jobs

And plenty of agricultural machines have removed thousands of jobs.

Humanity has been increasing efficiency since the dawn of humankind, there is nothing new there, not even with AI.

Even before AI I worked for a company that made ETL tools and that eliminated a bunch of people’s jobs, because you no longer needed to do manual work with excels, only once when you setup the ingestion process, ofc for that you need a higher skilled worker who could work with the program.

I don’t think you have the qualifications to assess someone as a sociopath

Is that a bad thing?

Lenmy.world simply defederates from the crazies like hexbear, lemm.ee wanted to avoid defederating this is the end result, bad actors will overwhelm and burn out your mod/admin team.

Classic case of Paradox of tolerance

Nope

I mean, assuming the sprint was reasonable, 2-4 weeks, then I am pretty sure you described an agile workflow, you delivered quickly, showed it to the customer and got fast feedback on what’s wrong.

Ofc it could be that those were things that could have been caught earlier by asking some questions of the customer, but without that information I would say your description of what happened matches agile.
