I disagree. I had no idea on how to do a panel with a list box in cocoa and objective-c on macOS( I know old technology )I wanted to create everything in code and I didnâ(TM)t know where to start. Cody code (now discontinued) generated me working code. I needed to validate it but at least I have something. Itâ(TM)s not worse than using stack overflow. You need to understand what the solution does and not copy it directly into your code. Same thing applies to the coders that did cuts & paste from stack overflow without understanding to the one with ai generated code.

Comment had no degree and got a degree (Score 2) 214

I started my career as a software developer in 1994 without a degree. I did quit my job after 8 years to get a university degree in computer science and even did a master after that. Let me tell you, it did make a difference when I was designing software algorithm. How it was before I got a degree: 1- I thought I knew everything 2- I did know know how to learn and grow. I'm worth a lot more with my degrees than without. The reason I went back to school is because two great guys with master degrees was kicking my ass in software development. The only solution to this I have found Is to go through the same as they did. Also, having a degree does not means that you're good but at least you have the basic.

This is the reason why I never subscribed to Stadia. I use GeForce Now and the games come from know virtual store like Steam (you do your purchase on the store). At least, Google refunds everything.

No cap on cellular music streaming via my provider (Videotron, Canada). The images count etc but it is a good deal.
No cap on gigabit network connection at home via my provider (Bell, Canada).

I only stream because I find it very usage friendly and to discover new music is great. Having no CAP for it on all my provider does help.

Piracy

Gottfrid Svartholm Warg Arrested In Cambodia 138

An anonymous reader writes "The Pirate Bay co-founder Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, alias "anakata," was arrested two days ago (Original, Swedish) in Pnohm Pehn, Cambodia and may soon be facing extradition to Sweden (alternate sources: Aftonbladet (Swedish), IDG (Swedish)). He was sentenced to one year in prison for his involvement in The Pirate Bay in 2009 and failed to appear at the prison to serve his sentence. On a related note, the domain freeanakata.se seems to have been registered today although it currently isn't resolving."
