I don't think this is true at all. How many such influencers are there, really, a dozen? I'd guess there are a million people making everything from absolute bank, down to pocket money. Most of them are probably not even aware that these influencers exists.


I use the mouse a lot. I am using a home made [0] app that gives me dropzones when I move a window. The dropzones show up AT the mouse, I can more or less flick the window to where I want it without moving it anywhere or using the keyboard. Although I have not set it up on my newest macbook yet, and I find the default behavior OK.

I do use hot corners extensively to switch between apps and app windows. Can NOT live without them.

[0] It's actually a modified version of an old Rectangle version


Yes, and Dropbox could have been a handful of unix commands.

I don't think I would use an app for this, but as far as I can tell, it aims to crowdsource silent locations, something a shortcut couldn't realistically achieve.


POP mails stopped being imported from my hotmail since some time. I noticed it recently but could not make it work again. Switching to the new (to me, anyway) "gamilify" option from within Gmail settings - I experienced a similar avalanche. Probably two-three weeks ago, but these emails were from decades ago until recent. They did not go to junk, but they were labelled as "email/x/x/junk".


He is quite active on YouTube, sharing progress and behind-the-scenes of his games.


To save everyone a click, this is the video where he talks about this game:

Clearly an AI generated comment, should this be banned?


What ? Why ? Doesn't seem clear to me.


There’s more But it’s clear to me from the first word “Look — …“. No one starts a comment like that, except ChatGPT who does it all the time.

I frequent subreddits where AI use is super common and the vibe is always the same.


I assure you that my comment was not AI generated, but thank you for the future shock of the accusation.


mbgerring seems real. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mgerring/

Says he majored in journalism which maybe explains a more literate style that engineers take to be llm?


I’m sure it’s possible, ChatGPT is trained on people after all.


Look - the content is good and some of us are not native English speakers. People should edit their chatgpt correction but we should stop calling everything AI generated without real proof. Anyway, if the comment is meaningful and adds to the discussion, why should I care if it was AI generated?


I’m not a native speaker either..

And no, I don’t think the content is good and meaningful in 99% of the cases.


I agree. The structure feels like an LLM. What scares me is that the more I use it the more I feel myself writing like chatgpt. Hell even thinking in its 'tone of voice'


Why do you need both an identifier and a text? I have this test name 'testAddingNewCardDataResultsInProperlyCombinedCardDataButNoNewCardsUnlocksBecauseWeStillHaveUnlearnedCards', and even though it is much longer than my other ones, it is still perfectly readable, and even if it wasn't, the only time I actually have to read it, is if it fails.


There is probably around a decade-long leap between XIB and SwiftUI. XIB files are only found in legacy code nowadays. It might have worked fine in smaller projects, but I think there are good reasons why it was left behind.

In my experience, most XIB files were either so small and easy that it was simply easier to replicate it in ten lines of code. Or so giant an impenetrable that it took thousands of lines of code to replicate it with, and at that point most people prefer to work with code over a dense XIB file.


Is this a real origin story or a fake one? (Obviously written by AI)


Hahaha I know it sounds fake but it is actually true.

> Like, I can work at a FAANG, coast, make no real contribution to society and collect a 400K/yr check.

99% of the world is not able to just go work at a FAANG. That 99% also earn way less than 250K a year.
