@zsmb13 do you know how many Intellij Ultimate licenses I need in order to occasionally compile/build/run my project in more than one context? I use MacOS _normally_ and just found out my fancy new seat license for IJ Ultimate doesn't appreciate being used by a Windows machine (while active on MacOS as well).
Márton BraunGoogle doesn't want you to know about this one weird trick to have convenient, global access to Context in your apps!
Jesse WilsonAndroid’s new security screening feature is bad and I fucking hate it.
They wanted a mechanism for Google’s security team to block malicious developers.
But the same mechanism can be used by the state to control what we can do with our devices.

gaytabasehere's a few settings you may wish to consider for your firefox's about:config page.
browser.ml.chat.enabled = false
browser.ml.chat.shortcuts = false
browser.ml.chat.shortcuts.custom = false
browser.ml.chat.sidebar = false
browser.ml.enable = false
extensions.ml.enabled = false
if your firefox is recent enough, you might want these to disable AI tab groups too (thanks @ilmari!)
browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled = false
browser.tabs.groups.smart.optin = false
browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled = false
The Long Tail@autonomousapps @hugo @donaldball @norootcause Tom DeMarco, author of 'Controlling Software Projects: Management, Measurement, and Estimation', 1982, famously said in the first line of the book: "You can’t control what you can’t measure".
In 2009, nearly forty years later, he admits he was wrong. In an article in the journal IEEE Software entitled "Software engineering: An Idea Whose Time Has Come and Gone?" DeMarco recanted, saying "In
my reflective mood, I’m wondering, was its advice correct at the time, is it still relevant, and do I still believe that metrics are a must for any successful software development effort? My answers are no, no, and no."

tony 🏳️⚧️ 🏴 🚴🧗🏻I thought blockchain was stupid (and I was right), but I've never seen something so "solution in search of a problem" as so-called AI. I don't have a joke here, I simply hate it being shoved down my throat every moment of my working day.
Please just let me contribute something towards my actual team goals, using my actual expertise, so I can feel like my pay is somewhat justified...

Martin FowlerToday we publish the 31st volume of the @thoughtworks Technology Radar - our regular survey of technologies that capture our attention in our client work. Again there's a lot we've learned about using GenAI here, reflected in the explosion of AI-adjacent tools, which we've found helpful in building useful AI-based systems. But we're also finding that coding assistants can often lead folks into trouble.
