That exact chain of events happened to me at my last job and I audibly laughed realising it was my own code. To my own credit though, it was a file I had written four years prior which at that point was more than half my whole career in the past

World News@lemmy.world•Palestine Action activists to be sentenced as terrorists without jury’s knowledgeEnglish
61·10 days agoThe EU isn’t a monarchy but the OP meant that there’s still a number of constitutional monarchies in the union.
Also Canada and Australia aren’t really the best examples here. Speaking as a Canadian, we’ve been actually increasing our ties to the UK as Americans continue their assault on our economy and continue to insult our sovereignty.
Regarding the genocide, we have banned exports to Israel for anything that can be used to murder Palestinians, but the loopholes are so large that it’s basically meaningless and our government refuses to close them

Technology@lemmy.world•Mark Zuckerberg Just Told 8,000 Employees Their Layoffs Are a Line Item in His $145 Billion AI BillEnglish
13·11 days agoMeta is largely the reason for the current state of the world via their purposeful boosting of alt-right talking points. They’ve helped incite a genocide ffs. They’re not actively on the streets shooting people but this is what the company pushed for
I’m not American but I am in tech and have been unemployed since January and even though my financial situation is grim, Meta and Palantir are two companies I would never, ever work for or even apply to. There’s always plenty of other companies to apply to (which is what I did and I start somewhere tomorrow!)

Technology@lemmy.world•Rising Fuel Prices Are Making Return‑to‑Office Mandates Harder to DefendEnglish
2·12 days agoMy car has been broken for weeks but I haven’t bothered fixing it because I can walk to everything I need and own an escooter (and a bike i’m slowly fixing) for anything further. Even my new office is only a 25 minute walk away. I’m not even sure what gas prices are right now and I don’t really care

Technology@lemmy.zip•OpenAI reportedly thinks its phone will sell as many units as the Samsung Galaxy seriesEnglish
30·17 days ago> buy all the RAM on earth so even Samsung won’t sell Samsung RAM to manufacture a reasonable number of their phones
> sell a couple more phones than Samsung
Maybe OpenAI is playing 5D chess here

Technology@lemmy.world•Utah first state to hold websites liable for users who mask their location with VPNs — law goes into effect, designed to prevent bypassing age checksEnglish
32·19 days agoWhy is a company or person that doesn’t exist physically in Utah at all responsible for adhering to Utah’s laws?
This line of thinking is dangerous as it allows companies to disregard any sane legislation as long as their servers are located in a “safe” place. A large portion of websites accessible from Canada are served from US servers, for example. American companies ignoring Canadian laws because they don’t have Canadian-based servers would be a nightmare
If a company makes any money off users in a geographic area (which includes ad view revenue), they have to follow the rules there which is a GOOD thing - even if it’s ridiculous in this case
Also endorsing governments selectively blocking websites is just bad for obvious reasons
It’s a rule enforced by r/ProgrammingHumor so it could either be carrying on that tradition or scripted reposting from that subreddit
I think it really depends on the work the program does and how effectively it uses caching, concurrency, etc. Something like data serialisation would probably be a lot slower in Python compared to something like handling simple UI event triggers which might only have that 0.001 difference

64·24 days agoI initially disagreed but after actually reading the post, I’m with you. If it was only the article’s text that was generated and not the data or graphs then I don’t see why the whole thing would be written off. I mean, it’s really sad seeing people offload their writing to AI but I still found it interesting.

I hate having to harass people to review my PRs too but getting rid of them entirely seems insane to me. Most of the issues with pull requests can be sourced more to the size of changes rather than their existence. If you can keep your PRs small enough that someone can review it in 5-10min then things get a lot easier for everyone but deleting the step entirely means nobody is watching what’s being submitted
Like, you might have someone working on something in a new codebase but misunderstanding the architecture or just going in the wrong direction in general and a review is the best way to correct course before getting too far in
