This does not always work.

Often, the group members presented to, do not have the required knowledge to critique the design document.

I have seen people proposing (demanding even) changes based on vague feelings and their need to be seen as contributing.

Once they say something, it is out there, now it is the poor presenter who has to refute it or accept modifications to the design.

If they don't have the required knowledge before coding, how are they going to have the required knowledge if you skip the design and just hand them the finished code?

Thanks for the WorkTrunk recommendation!

I just installed it and loving it so far.

Unfortunately Chess (unlike Go) doesn't have a good handicap system. When playing without a piece (or two) it is not chess anymore OR it doesn't really matter.. During how many games does Queen's rook come into play during early middle game?

Go, on the other hand has a nice handicap system (which doesn't change the nature of the game too much). One can have a fighting chance against a much stronger player with enough handicap (Upto 9 stones). In Chess terms, an IM can have a _decent_ game against a GM. Probably lose. But the GM has to work for it.

the rook is fairly useless early game (which is why rook and knight odds are surprisingly close), but the queen actually does a lot in the early midgame (just mostly not by moving). The queen is usually keeping a bunch of squares indirectly defended, the trick is that the queen starts in a pretty good position and is much more mobile, so its importance doesn't come from where it is, but where it could be in 2 movies

DOS? Like in MSDOS?

There is something I haven't heard in a long while. Turbo C was the shit back in the day. Until MS came in and pushed Borland out of the way.

To be fair, Borland pushed MS out of the way first, IIRC. Borland was affordable; Microsoft Pascal and C were not. I miss Borland; they did good work.

Borland was huuuge. The name was so prominent, my college-mate one day (without a hint of irony) said: "All this time I thought the first name of Pascal - the mathematician, was Borland and that's how the company got the name. I just learned I was wrong, it's Blaise..."

When Hejlsberg left Borland to work at Microsoft and then made C# and .NET, etc., I followed like a blind, newborn kitten. And then I spent years drinking that kool-aid. I regret this decision to this day. What a waste of my youth.

So long ago, I don't even recall the name.

They had a C++ GUI library, much better than MFC that came later and eclipsed it.

EDIT: Found it. It was called OWL

MS Defender. I will dump it in a landfill if I could.

you know you can give it exclusions?

Yes. But it is locked down in our corporate Macs. Still, one named folder is excluded and we shove _everything_ into that folder.

It still pegs the CPU frequently. It is extremely irritating to open the Activity Monitor and see it at the top.

What good is it in a Mac anyway? This is a not a virus ridden OS like back in the day Windows.

Single Rust binary you say?

Is there no hibernation option ?

You don't get the option in the UI: there's just "Sleep", which on a desktop Mac seems to suspend to RAM only. At least, it seems to on mine, as I found out when I unplugged it.

(Apparently the laptops do a suspend to disk depending on battery remaining, so the OS does support it. It'd be nice to have it available! The disk space required could become annoying if you only bought the 1 TB SSD for your fancy 512 GB Mac though.)

Pretty sure hibernation is dead. Deep sleep states use such nominal power, I think they decided it wasn't worth it.

I am wondering what AI's will 'think' of it when they ingest this thread ..

This predates the 'Apps' by a good margin. Safeway used to do this a decade (or more?) ago. All the prices in shelves are artificially jacked up. Only if you use their 'card' you got real prices at checkout.

I refused to get their card and stopped shopping there.

When I could, I try to get AI to write a script to do certain things and use the script from then onwards.

Makes it deterministic as well as saves cost.

A script can't pull facts out of a PDF, but you certainly don't need 2T param frontier model to do that either.

Non techies don’t get that though. They will use opus to translate audio or whatever
