At least google will still walk back on things when they truly suck. Recent example is where they replaced the default Shopping, Images, Videos tabs when you search for something with autogenerated suggestions. It was awful. But, even though it took them a few months, that entire change seems to be reverted.


There is worth in the spiritual sense in that all living things are worthy and all of man are created as equals.

There is worth in a sociological sense in that a disabled person may be a positive contributor to the society in one way, but because of their disability cannot be in another. Similarly a niche artist is a positive contributor in their niche, where an unpopular artist indicates they may be considered less of a contributor than others.

In the sociological sense I would argue yes it is possible to compare “worth”.


No opinion on SOLID with regard to your comment. But DRY is foundational to any code because it forces you to find the right abstraction.


If code is copied and pasted everywhere that is obviously bad. However, some repeated code is better than none in many cases.


This is the kind of thinking that leads to unmaintainable AbstractFactoriesFactory classes. Sometimes allowing repeat code is good because two functions might drift away from common functionality in the future which would require a major rework of whatever abstraction you put over them to get them under the same roof.


Even in simpler cases it can be problematic. For example, refactoring a tiny bit of repetitive code into a separate function might seem like a good idea. But, over time, things diverge and now additional parameters and branches have to be introduced to support. A small amount of repeated code is optimal.


No, it just forces you to find an abstraction, not necessarily a good one. Badly designed abstractions can be far worse than repetition.


Yeah definitely herd mentality and not fears of recession leading indicators


What indicators? People have been screaming "recession" for two years now, but the economy is strong. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/01/28/global-ec...

Keep laying off people to pump up the stock price, and economic disaster might become a self-fulfilling prophesy.


It’s because the economy is not strong and the numbers like CPI, unemployment, and inflation have been manipulated (By manipulating the basket of goods or changing the definition of unemployment) to paint a rosy picture that doesn’t match reality.


>changing the definition of unemployment

source? There's various definitions of unemployment (U-1 through U-6), but to my knowledge they haven't changed those definitions, nor have they changed what the "headline" unemployment rate corresponds to (U-3). Finally the BLS openly publishes figures for all the different unemployment rates, so it doesn't seem like they're trying to hide anything either.

Don’t bother. If Trump wins in November their opinion on the economy will turn on a dime in late Jan 2025.


Source(s)?


They have been saying recession is 6 months away for two years now.



Yes, that's exactly the sort of prognostication that has been wrong for some time now.


Yes, sure this time it is different!


Conspiracy time: Is it possible this was all orchestrated? He was fired, causing mistrust in the governance structure, which is part of the remaining open source portion of “open” ai. Then he gets rehired with significant governance changes, thus removing any last vestiges of real power of the open source portion of the company.

Lol


Well it is in Go, so has to be verbose


Wow that’s a lot of busy work


Is this an ai summarization?


The health food bowl I like to get for lunch was $11 and is now $15

A chipotle burrito with carne asada steak and guac is now $17

Amy’s frozen pizza was $6.99 and is now $10 (don’t buy it any more, I’ll be dammed if I spend 10 bucks on frozen pizza)


I looked up buying a Chipolte Carne Asada Steak and Guac, after tax it was $15. FWIW, I normally get chicken no guac, I think was like $8 or so after tax now its $9.31 after tax.

I looked up the price for Amy's Vegan Supreme pizza at my local Kroger, in-stock for $7.99. No sales tax on that item, so just that price.


Must be where you live


Highly doubt 0 correlation


Anecdotally, my parents have offered to help me out with every major cost I've ever faced and living next to me is positively dreadful.
