This has been my experience so far as well. I also find it very tiring to have to review all the iterations of the code.
I do find GitHub Copilot quite valuable at work, especially when it recommends one liners (they are easy to review, so I just feel like I'm writing faster).
To be fair to ChatGPT, on one of my recent experiment it actually said something along the lines of "you need to integrate with the library/API yourself", and it only started spewing garbage after I insisted to write the code. I see a lot of people online complaining that GPT is getting lazy, but I would rather have it lazy than wrong.
That's what I'm thinking, if they're considered separate legal entities then these laws are easily avoided. Like a lot of other laws having to do with company size, profits, taxes, etc.
I wonder why you say that. At least an ad for a specific ad blocker sounds like a great idea.
- Ideally, you don't send ads to users of your product
- Users of inferior products will see your ad, and it might be super effective (if you used MY adblocker, you wouldn't be seeing this ad)
- Everything else is a user that doesn't have an ad blocker, and it's probably an easy sell to say "would you like to never see ads like this?"
> This is the part that I don't get either. I can imagine hearing "this coffee shop got better since the new owners", but I know I have heard "this place used to be good until it changed owners". And since the new owners have paid X years of profit which they arguably want to recover in less than X years, it is more than likely that they'll start cutting costs as a result.
To be fair, I know at least one case of "this coffee shop got better since the new owners", but to be fair, it's because coffee shops are not really comparable to startups - namely because a very unsuccessful café can still hold huge real estate value.
Namely, in this case I'm talking about a café near a city center and a huge office building, but it was very dark, had old moldy sandwiches exposed and mixed low quality coffee with the brand coffee.
As you can imagine, after it was acquired by the new owners they just had to redecorate and sell normal products, and it quickly got packed every day.
Not sure if there's any possible equivalent for tech companies, though.
The original image is squashed vertically, so that you only compute half the pixels and then you stretch it back up. When you do this, you can't have the usual dither patters, so you end with something like this (unless you cheat shift every other line, like in Sonic 3D, but then you have dither patterns everywhere).
From what I can tell, this is the first version without a composite video output, correct?
It's a bit of a shame. What are the alternatives for someone who needs a computer connected to an old CRT TV? Are there other boards with composite video or does one need to get a HDMI->composite converter?
> We’ve removed the four-pole composite video and analogue audio jack from the board. Composite video, now generated by RP1, is still available from a pair of 0.1”-spaced pads on the bottom edge of the board.
> I'm not sure I would have been so generous to the author of the article this is in reply to. But I suppose that's a skill of a successful open source leader -- to turn interactions with critics into productive discussions rather than arguments, and perhaps even turn the critics into supporters.
FWIW, reduz (Godot author) and sprudd ("Godot is not the new Unity" author) previously discussed this on Reddit[1], and sprudd was actually sounded pretty nice (the first reply even includes a "and I hope that I wasn't too rude in the article. :)").
Overall, I think the original article was written in good faith, just with a click-baity title (and I imagine reduz thought the same thing). That might have helped to avoid a more angry reply.
