I can/have done this without AI and it tends to be disasterous. Management declares we need X fast. Okay, we can build that really fast, but it won't scale. Management says fine, just build it. We do. Management now wants to build Y fast. But wait, what about X? Nevermind, just build Y now. Okay, we're building Y, and X collapses... because it wasn't built to scale. Now we're being called in at 2 am to fix X while also expected to ship Y tomorrow. Sure, they'll glow you up and tell everyone what a hero you were for coming to the rescue at 2 am, but on that six month performance review, the blowup is used as reason to withhold raises and promotions. They don't lose any sleep of course, just you, the developer.
>Outside of DuckDB, PostgreSQL's core and ClickHouse, most of, if not all, the most impactful projects in the database world are now written in Rust.
This just isn't true. There are lots of important databases that are not written in rust. Many are written in other memory safe languages, like H2 and Cassandra are written in Java, cockroachdb in Go. Others like BigQuery, MSSQL, and Oracle are written in C++.
The initial premise is wildly overstated, so is the headline.
Then use AI for maintenance. It's AI all the way down. AI is taking over. AI is going to win and there's no stopping it. You're going to be left behind forever if you don't use AI right now. In fact, you may be too far behind already to start.
Did I do that right? ;)
Anyway, AI maintenance can be a time saver if the maintenance is easy. Like upgrading a dependency and all you really need to do is fix imports on five hundred files and modify a method or two. That would have been time consuming, but it's not hard. I think the OP has hit a good point though. Writing code is the fun part, not the bottleneck. The pain is the maintenance, so let's apply the AI there and keep having the fun to ourselves.
It is pretty much unacceptable to have a domain bouncing emails, so I’d be out of the provider before the MX TTL even expires.
For outgoing emails, reputation is a huge issue, but at the same time it’s also fairly trivial to set up a (different) 3rd-party (gmail, outlook, sendgrid, whatever) with previous reputation so you can get back communicating.
Completely normal. Happens all the time. My plane was delayed this week because of an unruly passenger on the plane before mine at the gate. My plane had to be diverted into another state while they sorted him out. The day after I landed, I was walking to get something to eat, and there was a bum fight at the road entrance of a Target. They had a disagreement about who could panhandle there. On the way home, some guy climbed the fence and got on the runway. They don't know who he is though, he was sucked through the engine of a plane.
>Friday’s episode at Denver’s airport came one day after a Delta Airline employee died on Thursday night at Orlando’s international airport when a vehicle struck a jet bridge next to an airplane with passengers onboard, as the local news outlet WESH reported.
>Meanwhile, on 3 May, a United Airlines plane arriving in Newark, New Jersey, from Venice, Italy, clipped a delivery truck and a light pole, which in turn struck a Jeep. Only the delivery truck driver was injured, but the plane was damaged extensively and the NTSB classified the case as an accident while also opening an investigation.
From the article. "Rare" occurrences... three times a week. In the meantime, Japan runs an airport for 30 years and never even loses one piece of luggage. The US is not on the same level as Japan. Any insistence otherwise is just cope.
This means Linux is getting better faster than alternatives :) With many eyes, all bugs are shallow, and now there are nearly infinite AEyes looking at the source code. In a year, Linux will be the most bulletproof operating system ever.
Kids can get government IDs. In my state, it's free for anyone under the age of 17. It's also free for anyone who can provide adequate proof they can't afford the $15.
A birth certificate is $25. My state has a programme for people who can't afford that to get a grant to pay for that, too.
I used to be quite anti-"comrade, your ID, please", but now that it's required anyway to function, we might as well get some benefits from it. Such as attestation of phone numbers being "this is from a real person who is an ordinary consumer".
Getting a certified copy of a birth certificate requires proof of identity. If you don't have a government issued photo ID states typically require multiple forms of secondary documentation (some of which themselves require photo ID to obtain). The secondary documentation can be expensive to obtain (fees for the documents themselves plus the effort to locate the documents).
The secondary documentation that can be easily and cheaply obtained without a photo ID, such as a copy of a utility bill, can fail because of name match problems--if your birth certificate is for "Bartholomew Jo-Jo Simpson" and your electricity bill is for "Bart Simpson" that might not be accepted.
The creeping is advanced by the blue/red team mentality too. MAGA won't care about this because their guy is in charge. If he were not, there would be conspiracy theories about how this is all a plan to get Trump and his supporters. For now team blue complains until their guy is in charge, like how Biden insisted everyone needed to show vaccine papers to participate in society and they were silent. Few can see that the two teams are different sides of the same coin.
I'm not going to roll in the mud here. Rather, it is sufficient to point out that generically showing a vaccine record/card for a limited time is qualitatively different from online tracking of all activity, and that COVID killed a lot of people. The US federal government is tasked with ensuring the general welfare of all people in its nation on line one of the US Constitution. Vaccine mandates are clearly and objectively in line with that, the recent internet hostilities have a much harder time making that case.
Also, I've found Costco aluminum foil is substantially more durable than grocery store aluminum foil. I do not work/shill for Costco.

lol, thanks for the humor article of the day.
