And it won't go into production next year. But workers will still be treated like shit.

If you check it out, don't forget to have a look atthe somewhat hidden 3D mode. Though well made, the 2D mode is just a Google-Maps-like view, and the 3D mode is entirely different.

Not having 60 fps might be an issue for a shooter or anything that is built on fast reactions, but it doesn't really sound like an issue in a city builder.

Does ChatGPT's code get better if you include "You're an expert in that language" in the prompt?

Half a year ago, I bought the 9 years younger (and much more complex) Red Dead Redemption 2 on Steam sale for $20.

Blink has a younger code base that’s easier to build on. Gecko has been around since the early 90s and has some ancient evils lurking deep within.

They both are of very similar age actually. The old Netscape rendering engine originated in the early 90s, but Gecko was a rewrite from scratch that was first used in a browser in 1998.
Blink is based on KHTML which is based on khtmlw, which was written at some point in the mid-90s, but as well saw a complete rewrite in 1999.

The article is funnier than the account. I also liked

The Yaccarino parody account lists xvideos.com in the link field, a reference to a porn site Gizmodo has obviously never heard of until now

Typically, social media companies have robust security departments that help you avoid obvious mistakes that create problems like someone impersonating your CEO. Unfortunately, Musk laid most of those people off shortly after buying the company.

I've been programming with lots of dumb people, and I'm particularly dumb myself, but if you really literally spend hours looking for missed semicolons, then you should give up programming no matter if this means more time for date nights or more time to look at the wall.

Doch, laut der Datenschutzbehörde ist das ein grundsätzlich legitimes Modell. Nur ist eine allgemeine "Ich zahle nicht, dann trackt mich halt und spielt mir Werbung aus"-Option nicht ausreichend, es muss dann (wie anderswo) eine explizite Zustimmung für die einzelnen Trackingzwecke gegeben werden, und die fragt Heise halt gar nicht erst ab.

How I Met Your Mother literally had an episode only about smoking, revealing that everybody in the main group has smoked at one point, and they all do in that episode.

Besides that, isn't the "smoking is cool" phase in movies a thing of the past already? Most movies don't show anyone smoking, and if, I would say it's most often not the hero, but often some shady guys.

On a side note: Why is this image (from Threads, don't know the version accessible on Twitter, as it's not accessible to me) a JPEG, and a very much compressed one, too? You see non-tech people sharing screenshot JPEGs all the time, but they are usually in okay quality and only degrade when shared and edited a lot. This one is basically unreadable from the beginning, and it's posted by a guy who studied computer science and leads a leading tech company since 14 years. Or is it really Threads transcoding and downgrading images so much?

Amazing how still many of those developers post things like "Hey Elon Musk, something broke, please help us" rather than "Hey all, Elon Musk once again fucked with the system we're paying $42,000 / month to use, and there is nobody at Twitter we can even talk to".
