    The IntelliJ products are not exactly “buy once” - if you want updated versions you need to keep paying periodically.

    Not that I think that’s a bad thing necessarily - it doesn’t make sense to expect devs to continue working on something year after year when you’re not paying them for it.

    Come on. Public figures need to be able to deal with satire and mockery, and this isn’t even a deep cut. Besides, have you seen how Miyazaki treats his family? That man has no empathy or humanity to offer his peers either. He’s a stuck up old man that would do well to come down to earth.





  • I use it many times a day for coding and solving technical issues. But I don’t recognize what the article talks about at all. There’s nothing affective about my conversations, other than the fact that using typical human expression (like “thank you”) seems to increase the chances of good responses. Which is not surprising since it better matches the patterns that you want to evoke in the training data.

    That said, yeah of course I become “addicted” to it and have a harder time coping without it, because it’s part of my workflow just like Google. How well would anybody be able to do things in tech or even life in general without a search engine? ChatGPT is just a refinement of that.

    Amen. There were actually three Teams clients at the same time (the Windows 11-bundled Teams “personal version”, Teams [for business] and Teams [the new version]). Not to mention they also have Skype for Business (which is actually Lync rebranded, which is Communicator rebranded) which is not interoperable at all with Teams even though it’s also an Office 365 conferencing app. And of course, Skype for Business is a completely different code base than Skype. Aaand they had Microsoft Kaizala which was basically the same use case but a completely different and incompatible implementation for countries with bad connectivity.

    It’s a complete and utter shitshow and I can’t fathom why heads aren’t rolling at Microsoft. Makes me think of this email from Bill Gates back in the day. If he was CEO now he would be fuming.

    “There’s more than one way to skin a cat.”

    1. You have a cat.
    2. You wish to remove its skin.
    3. You realize there’s more than just one method to accomplish this unusual task.
    4. You state this proudly as a metaphor for problem-solving flexibility.
