Your Rollercoaster Tycoon example is a bit odd, since coding a whole game in assembly indicates deep understanding of what you’re doing, whereas the problem with vibe coding is that it requires only the shallowest understanding. Unless I’m misunderstanding and that was your point.

There may be a maintainability issue with both, but for a different reason in each case.

Seemingly just because the title has “PHP dev” in it. It’s not entirely fair.

Yeah I know. Still, a different imperial asshole wouldn’t be this particular asshole.

Iran was going to let ships through if they paid a toll, so now the USA has decided to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, ensuring that no ships can get through. So the world has to run out of fuel and fertilizer thanks to Trump’s ego and greed. And none of this would have happened if Trump hadn’t attacked Iran just as they were about to agree to a deal. Trump is an enemy of the world. He has to go.

On the face of it, this is a much more intelligible and credible account of what’s going on than anything the USA is putting out.

“Like every tech company, we’re really excited about the velocity increases from AI, and so we have a lot of internal prototypes that are up and running, and extensions is one of them,” Varma said. “But a lot of things we’re staring includes questions like: Can you customize your homepage? Can you add widgets? Can you change your background in whatever way you want?”

All that and rounded corners? Not sure I can handle this much future.

The USA encourages young people to do that by keeping them in poverty and ignorance. So it’s kind of voluntary but not exactly freely chosen.

It shouldn’t need to reveal DOB to any other party. At most there should be an API that returns a boolean indicating whether the user is a child.* DOB is too much information.

*Edit: Even that’s a bad idea, as others here have pointed out. Let content filtering be done locally based on content metadata and user settings, so no information about the user needs to be broadcast.

DOB shouldn’t be collected at all. Operating systems don’t need to know personal information about their users.

It’s weird that this guy is pushing it with “it’s the law” justifications while claiming it’s so ineffective as to be harmless. If your justification is that it’s ineffective, why not just do nothing? That would be even more ineffective at collecting users’ dates of birth. Why be the guy who does something? He seems oddly eager and strangely confident that all the steps he’s taking to comply preemptively won’t be misused in future, by governments, corporations or hackers.

Even if you give a false DOB, it could be one more weapon in the armory of trackers and fingerprinters.

That’s not reassuring. It sounds like they don’t want home users to be able to get any router they could manage themselves.

I just stuck a new battery in my laptop for its 9th birthday. Still going strong with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

Might be worth fixing that typo.

Time for a fork?

153 girls killed by the US and Israel bombing an elementary school. Seems pretty provocative.

Truth and more than 80 elementary school girls.

And our Canadian PM had said Canada supports this US/Israeli attack. I am ashamed of him.

I refuse to believe Trump “weighs” anything, despite the media’s constant sanewashing.

Turn your volume down before opening the link in public. Someone thought it would be a good idea to have background music.
