Does stack overflow still exist?

I mean, it's there any genuine case you can cover with SO that you cannot with your favorite LLM?

Because where a LLM falls short is in the same topic SO fell short: highly technical questions about a particular technology or tool, where your best chance to get the answer you were looking for is asking in their GitHub repo or contacting the maintainers.

SO is actually a great resource to train your LLM on :)

I did not understand what was meant with "suffering insult", so with the help of DeepL and his wikipedia page I could determine that he passed away due to a brain tumour.

Woops, translated it wrong. Insult I meant Stroke. But he had stroke earlier.

Amazing

This reminds me of an adventured died just a few months ago at age of 40 after suffering insult. He has crossed ocean on a rowboat and more.

DeepL Translation of wiki:

Bardel's largest and most notable expeditions involve crossing oceans and traveling around the world without external assistance. On May 4, 2016, he and his traveling companion Gints Barkovskis set out to cross the Atlantic Ocean from Namibia to Brazil. After 142 days, they safely reached the coast of South America, becoming the first two-person crew to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a rowboat. [6] During the voyage, both men encountered serious health problems (vitamin deficiency, skin inflammation) and Barkovskis broke his ribs, but neither wanted to interrupt their journey, and the expedition ended successfully. [6]

After crossing the Atlantic, Bardelis continued his journey in South America and began a new stage in 2018. From Brazil, with the support of Gints Barkovskis, he traveled by tandem bicycle through South America to Lima, Peru, completing the approximately 5,400 km stage in 102 days. [7] Bardelis then set out alone in a rowboat to cross the Pacific Ocean in June 2018. He covered a distance of approximately 26,000 km from South America to Malaysia, spending a total of 715 days on the journey; with this achievement, he became the first person in the world to cross the Pacific Ocean from South America to Asia in a rowing boat. [7] During this sea expedition, he had to overcome several stormy periods and was forced to stop at islands, but in the end, Bardelis became known worldwide as the first ocean rower in this direction. [7]

This is FUD. Java has many open source implementations and nobody needs to deal with Oracle.

Well except Google that got sued for US$8.8 Billion because they decided to use specific API signatures but provide their own implementation...?!

You telling someone with 50k in debt, turning in 1000's or job apps struggling to find a job they studied 4+ years for and not being able to even pay rent to "just save"... is exactly how we got into this situation to begin with.

That list should surely had to prepend "pay off debt, live within your means"

Listening to Dave Ramsey on YT gets me amazed on how some people can be so irresponsible and accumulate debt on credit cards and cars they can't afford.

Is this "just because" fun project or made out of a need?

In an article about not downloading malware: "You can use my downloader! It's totally safe, bro!"

Yeah, I'll pass.

I think this comment relates to the fact that article mentions AFTNews Updater app as a way to install SmartTube... not yet released version of software?

That hydro is regularly turned off when it gets too cold.
jve · 16 days ago
Really? How do they turn it off? Where can I read about it?

I often pass the hydro bridge, so we have winters and whatnot - I didn't know they turn them off.

I can see hydro pumping power for all year long and being the top source of electricity in Latvia: https://www.ast.lv/en/electricity-market-review?year=2025&mo...
