A controversial opinion would be being a fan of this

I've been using a Macbook as my personal laptop since 2008 when they introduced the first aluminum chassis and still these things the author raises are still little quirks I wish Mac would resolve.

> Can't I just exercise a fat part of my body to make the fat go away? Can I just do a bunch of sit-ups to make my gut go away?

I did nutrition and PE in my final 3 years of high school over 16 years ago and as a result have a pretty good base understanding. Yes its a myth, however at no point have I ever heard someone ask if they can spot lose weight. It's always been this question that someone has supposedly asked and is a myth, I've never had someone think they can spot lose weight in the first place. It's been this answer to a question hardly anyone asks, but maybe I'm wrong.

Good guide nonetheless, always good to refresh ourselves

> The issue is not whether my students are valuable. In the long run, they are invaluable. The issue is that their value emerges slowly, whereas AI delivers immediate returns.

This is like the classic "I'll do it myself because its quicker".

In the current environment and likely more so into the future, those that hire and develop graduates skills are going to be looked at more favorably. Furthermore, the people you work with and coach become peers and typically help build a network of people who can bat for you.

It's tricky and its a balancing act and I appreciate that AI is becoming the easier quicker less fuss option

Companies stopped training people many decades ago, they expect you to arrive on the job trained now.

i.e. they shifted the cost of training from the employer to the employee.

What makes you think that will suddenly reverse course, or that society will suddenly start to care?

People want the cheapest, fastest shit possible. Companies too, generally.

That’s just not really not true from my professional experience or my industry in cyber security. There is of course a level of experience required of a junior but it’s still junior level experience.

In my line of work I was coaching and now I am senior I am expected to delegate tasks and coach, not to increase my own workload for doing simpler tasks myself.

People are you. You can make the change.

Catastrophic! Calm down you're not working in a chemical plant

ever had water damage in your flat?

I wouldn't be using automated controlled water valves for anything that's not outside in the garden

That's not what they were saying and the same can be said for those listed. But that they can cost the same as a Macbook Neo which arguably has significantly more technology in it.

I recently bought 4 wooden chairs that costed me more than that but there is significantly more technology in a Macbook Neo

Exactly and its just interesting to think about that such insane engineering has gone into a product that costs less than 4 wooden chairs. Yes it can be explained logically but its just an interesting thought.

Those 4 wooden chairs don't stand the chance of turning into a brick, though.

A Moto G also has more technology than a Nakajima WPT-160 typewriter (which is still in production) but the latter costs more. Comparing "technology for the buck" across totally different kinds of products and markets sometimes just doesn't make any sense.

The point isn't for it to make sense necessarily, it's just simply an interesting thought and not one that always needs a logical answer in every case.

Well its because we don't use community servers anymore. Lobbies are created in real time, particularly where SBMM is involved.

It's a bigger problem because in a lobby of 100 people, 1 person cheating ruins it for 99 players. Whereas in a 20 person lobby you can just boot that one person and it only ruins the game for 19 others.

I play multiplayer games with my friends against randoms and its very fun. The effort required hasn't come out of nowhere, it has come about from over 2 decades of gaming and technology evolving. Heck if that was the case I'd have never started playing World of Warcraft in 2008.

I enjoy cycling with my friends, but I also enjoy cycling with others both with myself and with my friends.

The overwhelming majority of players are playing fair, its the 1% of people that ruin it for the majority.

Its the Windows XP Media Centre edition all over again

Well you might not, if your accessible market is 10 horses and 5 cars can fill that market need, then you're left with 5 people who aren't needed because your products don't meet the needs of 10 cars worth.

If your postal service services a population of a million people and it takes 1000 horses to do that easily, but it takes 500 cars, you don't have a need for those 500 extra people.

You can't deliver more packages if the packages aren't there to be delivered. Your product demand doesn't just magically scale up once supply meets it.
