In 2021 I bought a computer from Tuxedo Computers a company in Germany that sells awesome Linux based computers. I paid import duties of $25. This year I just purchased a new laptop from them. Import duty is now $286.80. Thanks Donald Trump for costing me so much money. You totally suck.
I hope Lego creates a smaller less expensive version of the Star Trek Enterprise.
It's open enrollment time for US Health Insurance. It's a stark reminder of just how broken Health Care is in America.
¨a complex that would level 700 acres of forest, swallow nearly 2 million gallons of water a day, and draw enough electricity to power a city the size of Seattle." We should all be speaking out against these. I mean they will create just a few dozen long term jobs and consume so much.
I quit Amazon Prime about nine months ago, and I don’t miss it at all. I find deals at other retailers, and overall I spend less without it.
The two weather apps that I use had no clue that it was going to rain here last night and possibly today. Is this a result of funding cuts to NOAA?
Setting up a new iPhone is a long and painful process.
Sales will be better if they actually release it!
AI might not need weekends off, but it's a hungry beast that consumes large amounts of power and water. We are watching an environmental disaster unfold in real-time.
AI and the race to create super intelligence.
Every time I use AI to help with something, I get this feeling of guilt that I'm participating in destroying the environment for generations to come.
I was in Washington DC last week. Didn’t see any crime. Didn’t feel like I was in danger. Seemed pretty normal for a big city.
I’m a far better developer than any AI on the market today.
If all software was proprietary (not open source) would AI know how to write code? Did developers skew themselves by embracing open source?
People saying today's AI can replace entry level positions may be right. However, the economic, social, and environmental costs to grow AI into a senior level position will be astronomical.
Remember, the people telling you AI is going to take over the world are the people investing billions of dollars into it.
Companies need to invest in young people, and stop being greedy ass holes.
I recently spent some time exploring AI and different models. It’s amazing that there are some models that appear to just make stuff up when there is no data related to the question.
It must be fun to work for a company where the main goal is to create fun things.
I think Southwest Airlines highlights the problems with companies in America. A profitable, highly liquid company is firing employees, charging customers more and offering customers less. All because greedy investors want more. apnews.com/article/sout...
If you're a young developer, I recommend you learn to code without the help of AI. You need to understand what is going on and how code works. You only get that knowledge by working through issues as you write code.
I do occasionally let AI write code for me, but is is very focused and always thoroughly reviewed. I've seen scene entire projects generated by AI. The code is scary bad.
Oh my! What are you cooking at that temp? Steak?
Not sure it's the best way, but I add them using a relative URL from the location of my css file.
.my-button {-fx-graphic: url("../images/help.png");}
Well written, and valid points. Don't use Lombok.
This is just not true. You either don’t know Java or haven’t used it in a very long time.
One excellent way to distribute #JavaFX applications is to use jlink to build custom images. You can build for Linux, Windows, and Mac all on one machine without having all the host operating systems. The package is small, and you don't need to install the JDK on each client. #Java
Now I'm really pissed off.
