I’m not a big AI fan but I do see it as just another tool in your toolbox. I wouldn’t really care how someone got to the end result that is a PR.

But I also think that if a maintainer asks you to jump before submitting a PR, you politely ask, “how high?”

I won't put it as "just another tool". AI introduces a new kind of tool where the ownership of the resulting code is not straightforward.

If, in the dystopian future, a justice court you're subjected to decides that Claude was trained on Oracle's code, and all Claude users are possibly in breach of copyright, it's easier to nuke from orbit all disclosed AI contributions.

Giving in a bad system is more pragmatic rather than good

Kinda reminds me of a quote attributed to Bjarne Stroustrup:

"There are only two kinds of programming languages: those people always bitch about and those nobody uses"

I feel there are no absolutely "good" systems, only the ones with added compromises over time. Battle scars on a beautiful body.

do you think that every well-meaning GET request should be treated the same way as a distributed attack ? The latter is the reason why people use CF not the former.

How does one tell a "well-meaning" request from an attack?

Interestingly, I've spotted a few places in Portugal already accepting Pix as a form of payment, catering to a large demographic of Brazilian immigrants and tourists.

There is no PIX in Portugal, or places other than Brazil.

What they have there is a Brazilian person receiving payments from another Brazilian person, only through Brazilian accounts, all happening remotely in Brazil(at least for now)

The best instant payment system is cash. It allows the merchant to skip the taxes too. Unbeatable.

Cash is a hassle. It requires everyone to have change. You need to count the money, the cashier needs to count the money and store it. The line behind you gets longer. The end of day close-out process is longer.

Brazilians also generally don't like to walk with cash in their pockets. Only politicians usually do it, but in their underpants.

The pros is that cash is analog, no battery, internet connection or digital system needed to process it.

I clicked the story wondering if the speed of light has changed since the late 90s.

Apparently not.

It would be neat if we could take a hitchhike with it.

Probably only Project Orion would be able to catch up to its current 60kms/s speed by October.

Some 15 years ago, A friend of mine said to me "mark my words, Apple will eventually merge OSX with iOS on the iPad". And with every passing keynote since then, it seemed Apple's been inching towards that prophecy, and today, the iPad has become practically a MacBook Air with a touch screen. Unless you were a video editor, programmer who needs resources to compile or a 3D artist, I don't see how you'd need anything other than an iPad.

With Microsoft opening Windows's kernel to the Xbox team, and a possible macOS-iPadOS unification, we are reaching multiple levels of climate changes in Hell. It's hailing!

Just curious - in what situations would you want to use `foreach` (with the intent to iterate over a sequence), but use `i += 2` instead of `i++`? I can only think of a situation where I want to group elements by pairs, but then I'm explicitly not doing a "for each", and would prefer to explicitly use a regular `for`.

Reminds me of my masters research at university. My work was based on hybrid organic-inorganic solar devices based on boron subphthalocyanine chloride and an optimised optical spacer layer. One day, one variation of the type of cell I was producing was over double the output efficiency of what we usually expected. Was exciting until we realised the solar testing rig had been erroneously set to the equivalent output of two suns...

> set to the equivalent output of two suns...

I didn't realize we have achieved a Kardashev Type II civilization already :)
