  • Naw, This is honestly the direction that software engineering is going to go. AI becomes more capable over time.

    We are eventually going to stop writing code and focus more on writing specifications. The development of languages that allow us to write and maintain better specifications is going to accelerate that in the same way, that higher level languages allowed us to accelerate writing code for the purpose of it being transformed into some form of bytecode. We are now in the early stages of needing a language that better facilitates the authoring of detailed specifications that can then be ran through code generation in more predictable and scalable manners.

    I see nothing wrong with developing a new language. If it works it works. If it doesn’t it doesn’t and we all learned new shit. I’m not sure why so many people in this thread hate science.









  • if I take a coworker home, go out to lunch, etc w/o telling my SO, and they see that deviation in my routine, they could start doubting that trust

    This means there are still significant insecurities in the relationship that can bubble up and become problems, and you know about these.

    You do not trust your spouse to trust you and not misinterpret your intentions.

    Paradoxally You can defeat some of this insecurity by being transparent and welcoming misinterpretation if you believe you both have full trust in each other.

    As a high anxiety person myself, this works to defeat the anxiety which is often feared of the unknown. By proving that deviations to your routine are not something they should feel anxious about, then that anxiety can melt away.


  • It’s only vile when you project insecurities or bad intent…

    We both know each other’s passwords for everything. We use a shared database for it. We both know each other’s phone, unlock codes and often through laziness will just use each other’s phones for shit. We shared the same bank accounts, we don’t have separate money. We share the same vehicles…etc

    What’s mine is hers, what’s hers is mine. Except literally.

    We also both have each other’s location. What do we use this for? Essentially nothing except when one of us is traveling, or someone is feeling neurotic/worried. The peace of mind knowing that your significant other didn’t just die in a car crash part way to their destination and are still making progress is significant.

    We don’t hide things from each other, we’ve explicitly built a relationship of openness and trust, brought on by us actually_not_ trusting each other for a long time. We are completely transparent, and you know what this has helped build? Trust. Know what it has torn down? Insecurities. It’s been great.

    Would recommend.









  • It’s a bit of a catch honestly.

    OSS/community Linux graphical environments have kind of always been ~5 years out from what’s needed. 15 years ago they were behind ~5 years, 5 years ago they where behind ~5 years.

    The only difference is today. I think they’re only behind by ~3-4 years thanks to the backwards movement of things like Windows and OSx staleness.

    Mobile operating systems are in a worse place.
