Some attention for the extremely low Arctic sea ice extent please. We're losing it. Global emission reductions have to start now, and accelerate to get to net zero within decades.

Also, KMFDM's WWIII was 23 years too early. So much stuff out of the GWB administration era was crystal clear at the time, but Obama/Biden convinced centrists & the media that everything was fixed and we didn't need to actually worry about accountability and then helped to expand the police state. 8 years of "don't worry about it", then the shock of T…

AI vs. Net Zero: The UK’s Next Climate Battle
As a data centre construction boom sweeps the UK, creating soaring electricity demands that threaten to decimate climate targets, opportunist politicians and commentators are using this new phenomenon to undermine the clean energy transition. In recent months, Conservative shadow energy secretary Claire Coutinho, Reform UK’s deputy leader Richard Tice, as well as the party’s head […]

What technique / tools are you using in CI to make sure that tests actually ran?
Misconfigurations can often result in huge swaths of test discovery failing silently, leaving a test run in CI including zero (or a very small number of) tests.
Are you relying on code coverage stats collected during test runs, and comparing that to some static fail_under percentage? If source discovery breaks, can 1 passing test be 100% coverage? Do you trust it?

So, "#AI boosted your productivity"? Well, are you a software developer or a factory worker?
Productivity is a measure of predictable output from repetitive processes. It is how much shit your factory floor produces. Of course, once attempts to boost productivity start affecting the quality of your product, things get hairy…
"Productivity" makes no sense for creative work. It makes zero sense for software developers. If your work is defined by productivity, then it makes no sense to use as #LLM to improve it. You can be replaced entirely.
Artists get that. The fact that many software developers don't suggests that the trade took a wrong turn at some point.
