Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants
  • When used in a metaphorical way like this, meaning code assistants are not literal weapons, it means to make a thing readily available to the masses. In context, my comment means that AI has streamlined the task of copy/pasting from stack overflow. You don't even have to search for what you're trying to do and the AI will use answers it's scraped from the site to fill out your code for you.

  • It's because of anti-discrimination laws. In some US states it can be illegal to hire someone for a position without posting it publicly. The concern is that if you're not posting the job publicly, it can be because you want to prevent certain people from applying.

    When you do post it publicly, the company can demonstrate that they allowed anyone to apply, show records that they considered multiple people for the job, and then decided on the internal candidate as the best fit. No room for a discrimination lawsuit.

  • UN members walk out en-masse in protest against Netanyahu address
  • It makes for a more defensible argument. No sane person is going to argue that a 4 year old child is an enemy combatant. But a 20 year old male? It's easy to argue they could have been an enemy combatant and so maybe the numbers are inflated. Saying 1000 people can be interpreted as 999 enemies and only 1 civilian casualty. Saying 1000 women and children is usually interpreted as 1000 innocent lives lost.

  • Boeing strike: bosses bruised, blindsided and on brink of crisis
  • How the fuck are the bosses blindsided by this? I read about this shit on the Internet days ago. It'll be cheaper to just pay them then fuck up your production lines and have to mitigate a PR disaster. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
