The community edition is open source, the Enterprise edition is not.

I host my own gitlab-ce instance in docker which works well. I mainly needed a web UI for git and I track issues with it. I think there are boards or at least free plugins for the community version, but I do not use them. You can version your documentation in .md files too. Not sure if it can substitute Jira for you, but you mentioned Bugzilla and I like gitlab a lot more.

Just make sure to update the container regularly, you can’t make big version jumps without the intermediate updates.

I think you can combine it with OpenProject if you need more project planning.

I read “space farting civilization”. That is an interesting concept.

Not very intimidating, as long as they keep on fucking.

“He kind of comes off as the smartest person in the room,” said a former colleague.

Under a picture with just one person it’s kinda funny. Also what’s with that dirty floor? Same as with his shoes in the other picture. Gross. That’s lavish?

As you already implied: when you’re not at home but travelling.

Look Ma, I’ve written 4 symbols on top of each other and count it as one symbol. Now I have 9999 different symbols. I’m officially smart now.

Usually a sign of multiprocessing/multithreading going wrong, e.g. accessing the same resource without proper locks like opening the same logfile in different processes and trying to write simultaneously. Those errors can be triggered just by reformating the code (or obfuscating in this case), thus changing the runtime behaviour slightly. Hard to find, especially since they’re dependent on the speed/workload of the machine running the code.

I like how you and the person you were answering to think. It opened a new perspective for me and showed me my bias. Thank you. Please continue to understand things that well and let others know about it. 😀

Hier gibts einen Artikel zum personalisierten Spam:

https://www.bcg.com/publications/2023/gpt-was-only-the-beginning-autonomous-agents-are-coming

For instance, in the near future, an autonomous agent could allow a marketing executive to carve out and automate whole segments of work. Based on a company’s past marketing campaigns, the agent could determine what worked and what didn’t, making its own decisions for future email design, scheduling, graphics, and subject lines. It could also identify the types of consumers a campaign should target and then assess whether the results—opens, views, clicks, and responses—are worth reporting back to management. If the results fail to meet the campaign’s objective, the agent could independently start again, creating a new, more refined list of target customers based on responses to the previous campaign.

Ich habe einen etwas technischen Artikel mit verweisen zu Papern zum Thema gefunden:

https://towardsdatascience.com/the-future-of-generative-ai-is-agentic-what-you-need-to-know-01b7e801fa69

Ich habe den Eindruck der Typ weiß nicht was generative KI bedeutet. Dampfplauderer im Bullshitbingo. “Data Analytics…wird von intelligenten Agenten benutzt” “Generative KI…gibt Zugriff auf Daten”

Das ganze Interview ist einfach Werbung a la “wir sind die geilsten” und “gebt uns alle Eure Daten”. Der Interviewer fragt ja auch nicht nach was der Quatsch bedeuten soll.

Nix davon ist “intelligent”. Es geht immer darum die statistisch häufigsten Merkmale oder wahrscheinlichsten Fortsetzungen zu finden.

An anderer Stelle im Interview behauptet er auf Kundendaten würde nicht trainiert, da diese durch " eine strenge Firewall" geschützt seien. Das ergibt ebensowenig Sinn. Daten sind kein Service (den man durch eine Firewall schützt).

Er benutzt anscheinend Wörter die er im Kontext gehört hat, deren tatsächliche Bedeutung er aber nicht kennt.

You are aware that the impossible sections were on purpose to sell hint books and to make money with the telephone hintline which one could call being stuck?

In short: it’s always like this, sometimes more, sometimes less. And guess what: it’s the main part of the job. As a developer you have to understand what the customer (your boss) needs (sometimes not what they say they want) and to figure out how to do that by yourself. It’s nice to have colleagues you can ask, but it’s like on stackoverflow. The accepted answer is not necessarily the right or good one. Often you have to work with bad documented legacy artifacts (code, api) and figure out what they do. Also the tech changes, you have to constantly keep up with changes and what was great years ago may now be outdated. My advice:

• Do not start coding until you are sure you understood what is to be done.
• if there is no user story to describe the task write it yourself
• write good tests for your code. It’s an art. While thinking about corner cases you often find questions you did not think about at first
• if you don’t know how to do it ask people around you, browse the web, read books. Develop the skills to figure stuff out. Most of the time noone knows the correct answer. It’s your job to find it.
• do code reviews with others, usually both benefit from it
• write clean code

If you don’t like your working environment then change it. Especially when you think you can’t learn anything new there or it is no fun to work there. Go to meetings in your area (meetup or so) or online to meet other developers and ask them about their job. You get a feeling about what is considered a good job in your area. Good developers will always find a good job. Be one of them. As long as you think you’re a god who can code anything, that’s probably not the case. ;-) The best you can achieve is to be an expert in a very narrow field and to be good in some others.

Why would they use bitcoins to pay for the stream? If it’s already bitcoin why bother?

It’s illegal in the EU, so probably not there.

I have never ever heard of a game coming with a help hotline. And I played a lot of games in that time. TIL that

one classic example is the game “The Legend of Zelda” for the NES. The game contained cryptic puzzles and secrets that were not easily solvable. Nintendo provided a hotline, called the Nintendo Power Line, where players could call in for tips, tricks, and solutions. Calls to the hotline were not free, creating an additional revenue source for the company.

Here’s an article about it: https://dev.to/maggiecodes_/how-i-applied-to-a-tech-job-using-a-post-request-193d

The thing that annoys me is the response. It should return status 201 created and the id of the new resource for future delete/update operations. Instead it returns 200 ok and some clear text. Wouldn’t want to work with such an API.
