I really do think coding using AI tools is a bit faster, at least it seems that way to me. As most of the morning but lengthy work can be done faster by AI.

But I am also pretty sure it's VERY easy to rapidly incur technical debt, especially if you are telling AI to review its own work. Yeah it will do some stuff but who is to say post review fixes it's really better?

More than ever I think the right approach to coding with AI is to build up carefully crafted frameworks that are solid (maybe use AI to help but review and tests very carefully) then allow AI to build on top of solid fundamental structures that you know are solid, and do not let the AI modify those - maybe let it ask for feature requests.

It's not that much of a change, though. The USA has only ever paid lip-service to its "allies" and always seen Europe as competitors. It's not a shift from "friend" to "enemy", just from "competitor" to "enemy".

What do you want? "Punch the bully in the teeth" means what exactly? All out war? Would this really be good for people in the EU? For Denmark?

Assuming Denmark has put sanctions on oil ships, they can seize those ships in the Baltic and North Seas. They can use their own hackers, assuming they have any, and disable Russian systems.

There are multiple ways to fight back without sending in the troops. What's Russia going to do, whine more?

I'm pretty sure someone was expecting that we were addicted to that $100B trade, and by throwing a 15-999% tariff on it, 15B-1.5T of fresh taxes were going to be generated. With a 40% drop in purchasing, that's going to translate to a lot lower tax intake than expected. The price for that will probably be more inflation, but the powers that be have shown very little concern over using other, more nuclear options (possibly even literal nuclear options), for handling budget shortfalls.

Exciting times!

What I'm waitig for is when a Democratic president is in office and starts making wholesale changes. The howls from Republicans will be glorious. Sending their whines to the Supreme Court will be even funnier because if the Court says the president can't do that after they've let Trump do whatever he wants, they just outed themselves as partisan hacks and can be ignored.

As Jackson remarked, let them try and enforce it.

Denmark would have to do it through NATO.

No they don't. They are free to defend themselves without NATO. Which, like the rest of Europe, won't do.

Not sure where this fear of defending oneself came from, but Europe needs to get its head out of its ass and start taking action. Ukraine's shoulders are getting tired carrying the load for them.

What will you do about it? Nothing, as usual. You whine and complain Russia is doing this to you, yet you do nothing in return.

Either punch the bully in the teeth with brass knuckles or stop complaining you've been attacked.

As Ukraine has shown, taking the fight to the bully is the only way to get results.

Either run your website as a hobby or do not run it at all. Expecting to be paid for supplying information when most of the world has long agreed information should be free, is peak stupidity.

Either play in your band as a hobby or do not play at all. Expecting to be paid for your performance when most of the world has long agreed information should be free, is peak stupidity.

Yes. Each team gets exactly three bananas to drop in "banana mode" for each race. However, banana mode can only be activated if the car is at least 2.17 seconds ahead of the nearest trailing car, unless that trailing car is outside an 18 degree cone whose vertex is at the nose of the lead car. Banana mode cannot be used if a driver has more than 16.5 MJ of energy in the liquid fuel tank, or less than 3.27 MJ of energy in the hybrid battery, nor can it be used if there are less than 37.3km of travel on the current set of tires. Both the lead and trailing car must have a velocity of at least 82.3m/s for banana mode to be active. At most one banana can be dropped between any two pit stops.

Everything for free doesn't sound like capitalism - it sounds like communism.

So that's why people on here keep talking about getting their software, music, and movies for free. They're communists.

Let's expand the fun: Did Israel commit genocide in Gaza?

Yes they have. Next question.

It's not just videos. Trying to listen to music has been thrown into the same cesspool. I was listening to a song last night and about a third of the way in the music stopped. I saw there were an additional 6 - 8 scripts which needed run to have the music play, even after I already enabled 6- 8.

I closed out of the song and did something else.

If you have to enable over a dozen scripts to play a 4 minute song, you suck.

So you're saying they're going to follow Robert F. Kennedy, Jr's process of declaring a reason for autism will be found and a few months later state it's caused by vaccines?

Fascinating.
