two great films in PNG are joe leahy's neighbours and black harvest

really excellent insight into society and values there as it meets capitalism

Black Harvest (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103817/) is an incredible documentary; everyone should see it.

it was frustrating but i preferred it to dealing with stuff like node, tooling, mobile and tablet views, that stuff really burned me out in a way that IE 6 never did.

miss those days.

i was seen as a genius at work for understanding quirks mode and how JScript differed from javascript/ecmascript

It felt like wizardry tbh

I was described by a slightly mad client as “the Harry Potter of front-end development” after I’d pulled off a particular effect my designer had come up with. (They then proceeded to give the entire dev team Harrods hampers and failed to pay the company when we sent an invoice.)

this is like if Satan released an AI app that ran on your phone 24/7

this is really great.

Bills typo-filled rant followed by his minions passive-aggressively trying to pass the problem down.

it's reminds me of those Dilbert strips.

these look like the books you see on goodreads choice awards

for some reason, i find that very off putting

well the risk is in feeding these natural biases i guess.

if someone is asking a question to an LLM, i think it's most neutral to assume they don't know the answer rather than framing the answer according to their perceived biases and interests.

> "However, a factory reset essentially bricked their Switch 2, as it no longer allowed signing into any Nintendo Account. "

"you will own nothing and be happy"

the amount of people who defend Nintendo on this kind of stuff is surprising

i have become increasingly disdainful of the consumer mindset

wowzers, gonna need to buy the new iphone pro so i can use Apple Intelligence to generate those delightful new genmojis

Don't forget the message answer predictions. Otherwise you wouldn't know what to say to your friends, duh!

part of the problem is saturation in the job market.

higher education, even job experience is no longer considered a sufficient barrier to entry.

reminds me when the guy who wrote homebrew failed the apple interview. if i recall.

ironic because they use brew so much internally.
