The clip they play where his AI-generated voice says heâ(TM)s a DJ is probably what they played to their investors. As soon as the engineer typed the sentence and played back the on-the-fly audio I could hear the imperfections. Itâ(TM)s certainly better than where we were just a few years ago and a ton better than those crappy ones you hear reading text on YouTube videos but itâ(TM)s nowhere close to perfect. I believe the guy when he says this improves constantly. I just think theyâ(TM)re going to need another year or two before itâ(TM)s ready for prime time.

I much prefer dedicated, native apps on the desktop and mobile. If you want to include a webform or allow someone to order a pizza via the browser fine. But some developers want to push PWAs on us and make proclamations about how theyâ(TM)re the future and I say no. If I wanted a webapp experience Iâ(TM)d have bought an Android device. If you insist on going down the PWA route then just live with not having IPhone users as customers. Move along.

There is the option in many places to leave your guns locked up at a gun club and some people do that. But most want the convenience of being able to use them whenever and wherever they please. Many people here either own or have access to open land that they can shoot on or want to be able to take their guns to multiple ranges. I donâ(TM)t own an AR-style rifle or an AK but I know many who do. Nearly all of them keep them unloaded and often in a gun safe. I own several guns myself but just for target practice fun. As for background checks and restricting access, I donâ(TM)t really have an issue with that. If the government wants to maintain a background database and require all gun owners to take a safety class and wait 7 days when purchasing a new gun I donâ(TM)t care. In fact, Iâ(TM)m all for stricter gun laws, partly for public safety but also because I think it will help change some public perception about who is purchasing guns and why.

I think itâ(TM)s important not to be blinded by our love of one company over another. As an admitted Apple fan this is hard for me as well. I think itâ(TM)s also difficult for many who are not Apple fans to even consider the possibility that for at least the next few years if you want the absolute fastest built-for-consumers desktop or laptop youâ(TM)ll need to buy an Apple product. But so what? Intel-based machines are plenty fast and who cares about bragging rights? And Apple may wear the crown now but they probably wonâ(TM)t forever and competition is good. I think Intel can catch up and even become dominant again but I donâ(TM)t think this new CEOâ(TM)s comments are necessarily a good sign. I realize he was trying to motivate his employees but it comes off as he doesnâ(TM)t think the competition is a real threat when it absolutely is. We all know that Microsoft has an ARM version of Windows and Iâ(TM)m sure many of you have read that theyâ(TM)re considering (maybe already working on?) their own ARM-based chip design similar to what Apple has done.

I think a common myth is that MBAs are just people who went to business undergrad who then decide to go to grad school. There are some of those for sure but I donâ(TM)t think thatâ(TM)s the norm. Iâ(TM)m an engineer who went and got an MBA and most people in my class were engineers, attorneys, former military, or some other operations person looking to advance into management. Do I think that MBAs have âoeruinedâ corporate America? No. Most large successful companies have leaders who surround themselves with a diverse team and that includes people who have MBAs. What I think is a bigger issue is consulting companies. They sell companies on the idea that they can provide important strategy at high costs but have no real skin in the game. It just so happens that many consultants have MBAs. Probably 1/3 of my class from a top 40 MBA school went this route. As for me, I am still an engineer but I also use what I learned getting my MBA to better talk to the business side of the company and thatâ(TM)s worked out well.

Google Ad Services works because users use these toys you mention. Google loves showing ads next to Gmail messages or inserted at the top of search results or to give you intender data based off of user logins on luxury apps and sites. If users start to look for alternatives to these tools because they seem stale or if users become more privacy focused and start turning away from Google because they don't like the tracking then Google will find themselves more and more selling run-of-network ads that end up showing on dinky pages and backpage classifieds sites. They're definitely in no danger of that at the moment but then I'm sure MySpace thought they owned social media at one time.

I can maybe see where for internal tools if you wanted to create a simple, template-driven app where a user is ok with choosing from a limited set of options then low code might be ok. Think of how people create dashboards for reporting systems, choose a template to design and print a business card, or create an e-commerce site on a service like Square. But if youâ(TM)re wanting to create a robust, unique, custom experience for anything but the very most basic app I just donâ(TM)t see it happening. Software development is complex and itâ(TM)s becoming more complex all the time, not less. Businesses will continue to chase this, and Iâ(TM)m ok with that, but letâ(TM)s hope that corporate executives are educated enough to know that these tools are for very simple and specialized circumstances (maybe for design like Figma?) and not something you want to release outside your org, support Iâ(TM)m the future, and build a business on.

I think therein lies part of the problem. On the one hand Linux proponents say that some of the advantages of Linux are its low overhead costs and abundance of community support. The problem is that unless you are already tech-savvy or are willing to pay for support or have a friend that can help or are willing to put up with childish/arrogant snobbery in chat rooms and message boards then it's probably not for you. That's ok!! No one in the linux community is obligated to help every noob that tries to come aboard but understand that some people need hand holding and/or are not willing to put up with overinflated egos. The next time a techie wonders why there isn't more adoption of Linux on the desktop I suggest they take a look in the mirror. It's not because we're intellectually superior (most of the other guys in my IT group can solve complicated networking problems but don't know how to best operate a washing machine), it's because most of us lack the communicative skills and time necessary to guide new people through the early stages of adoption.
