Why did @github.com start showing AI Credits usage for GitHub Copilot on users profiles yesterday, and revoke it today? The changelog entry published yesterday is also nowhere to be found anymore.

Oppdatert med oversikt over alle lag på ligastats ved å trykke på rankingen. Fortsatt tidlig i sesongen, men gir en pekepinn på hvilke lag som gjør det bra offensivt, defensivt og klarer å kontrollere kamper utover kun ren poengfangst etter 6 runder spilt. godset.mats.codes

Mats E.@matsest.mxe.no · last yr.The writing style in AI generated text is unmistakably non-personal and boring. With more content (posts, blogs, code) being made by AI I fear more people will attempt to mimic the same style. Let's not forget to have room for personality, flair, linguistic diversity and typos.
Already tired of seeing AI written summaries in pull requests descriptions. Just feels so non-personal and bloated. I would (almost) rather see "fix stuff" than to see a no-context summary of the diffs with endless file and line references.

Oh boy, working in "serious IT" sounds like a miserable place to be 🤦
Oh no they've invented a much cheaper Bluetooth radio before any of us figured out how to make a product as useful as AirPods with our expensive Bluetooth radios
...and there's the end credits. Still holds up as a fantastic game, even in 2025.

As I'm sharing some of the skepticism on current state of AI, this was a positive take to read. Invest in core skills. Build transferable knowledge. Both soft skills, and a solid understanding of fundamentals within your field will make you resilient to current fads. css-tricks.com/the-importan...

A quite good summary of PowerShell. I think it's underrated as a powerful cross-platform, high-lvl scripting language w/lots of advanced features under the hood. But many devs and engineers shy away from it. Maybe due to the (outdated) Windows-only association. Others maybe due to things like this
Jeff Hicks@jdhitsolutions.com · 2y agoPowerShell was initially designed for IT Pros, so it does a lot of things that probably drive developers nuts. PowerShell attempts to hide and abstract a lot of the .NET sausage making to make it easy to use, but sometimes we hit speed bumps like your example.
A #powershell thing that's confused me several times (and I was reminded of today)... What do you think the output of this script will be? And why? Is it as expected? 😉 (PowerShell 7.4, code is in alt-text) @jdhitsolutions.com @mrpowershell.bsky.social @steviecoaster.dev #pwsh

Happy New Year! The greatest gift of last year came just a few days before Christmas, and I'm grateful I got the chance to have a total of 3 weeks of time off to take care of our little one and spend time with the family. Now reading myself for getting back to work again 😴
Would be nice if every day of #adventofcode was a Sunday / day off. Let's see how many days of self-torment I have in me this December 🫠
Working on a #Powershell replacement for the `grep` command, to quickly search files. Trying to get same behavior and argument support with just native commands 🥷 (Stuck on a Windows-machine without WSL support for a project..)

It's baffling that the software many of us use for The Boring Stuff every day sucks at basic things that would have been so easy in the real world. It took YEARS before the feature of registering in-person/virtual attendance for a meeting finally came (and it's still kind of new so few use it)..

Marc-André Moreau@awakecoding.com · 2y agoHow is one supposed to transfer ownership of a recurring meeting to somebody else? I first thought adding someone as co-organizer would be enough, but it doesn't given sufficient rights to manage the invites, change the meeting time, etc. Anyway, we'll create a new meeting and delete the old one

Just sold a ticket using Ticketmaster Resale: They will sell your ticket for you (below listing price), add yet another service fee for the new buyer and then give you money after 17(!) days. Excellent idea - subpar execution.
Today a co-worker failed to upload a pdf to a government file upload because to file name was in all-caps, including the file extension (.PDF). Everything worked with a simple rename to.pdf.. 🤦 Devs, if you build a file upload service, don't validate on the file extension only! ☝️
