Seems to me to be, at best, a PR stunt by the developers to impress everyone with how great an AI they made.
The world is so cynical. It seems I'm starting to embrace the cynicism as a way of life. I don't know if I can go on . . .

Ya, agree. I thought ai was to make things better, not the same as - waste of bloody time if zero gain.
If we wanted entities equivalent to humans there's a much more fun way to make those, even better if done in practice mode only (that 9 month later consequence of doing it for real will hamper practice sessions for years.)

The Japanese have a solution for that, too! Using an analogy to their kissing device[^], which, using the Japanese gift for embellishment, will be developed to replace the inflatable plastic doll.
Japan's birthrate is the lowest in the world[^] - "everything happens for a reason" never had a more effective advocate.

I make minor changes to code, try to build, Mama opens a file dialogue: Mama wants to save the file; but, Mama, the file no can save ... already open that file.
So, clean and clean project, until Mama sees no shyte on my sneakers ... then build Bill can.
K.D. Lang's ensorcelling song keeps playing in my head: [^] ... only: I am hearing "constant cleaning" instead of "constant craving."
Yes, I have checked every possible build setting (these are WinForms app); this happens with or without having Class Libraries I am developing as part of the App which are external to the WinForms Project.

So a few years back I wanted to participate in some annual event, a midsummer night walk.
Registered on the website, something went wrong, and suddenly I joined a team on the other side of the country.
Back then I could also change the names and emails of the group members, people I didn't know and that I joined by accident  
For some reason I lost my password and requested a new one. They sent me my own password in an email...
So accounts are publicly editable (that's a whole new level of security breach) and passwords are stored unencrypted (or at least an easily reversible encryption).
So now, a few years later, I want to participate again.
Went to the website, requested my password (that I changed to something I couldn't remember, just like the rest of my info) and they sent me an email. Except I never got the email.
So I just created a new account, requested a new password again (just to check if they fixed it) and now my old password is invalid, but they also haven't sent me an email.
Good job, within five minutes after registering I'm locked out again
What the hell are these "developers" doing? 
Seriously, my grandma could've done a better job and she only just learned how to open Google.

Posting their rubbish code in QA and then ignoring every piece of advice they are given.

Have you ever considered the possibility that maybe the people in QA are the smarter ones?
At least they know how to subscribe to a website, find the correct forum, and post a question.
A scary thought...

No, no - no need to panic. They are trying to mate by posting questions on the AnneSummers website trying to get help with the complicated bits, like trouser removal...

WTF?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Why aren't you telling us the web site? It's publicly available right so there's no harm in telling.
Are you sure this isn't a web site set up to get people to join specifically so they can hack the members?

Hello,
I have about 5 TB of photos and videos, plus some music and lots of code, programs, etc..
I have dropbox and onedrive, and use them to store my documents and share programming bits and pieces, but not much more, as my 5 TB of photos reside on a QNAP NAS.
Until now I was using SOS Online Backup to make a full backup of my main PC and the QNAP NAS for disaster recovery, you know, the house is on fire, full melt-down, etc.. I have USB external HDD where I regularly backup stuff, but those external HDDs still reside at home. Now, SOS Online Backup decided not to offer unlimited backup anymore, and the 5 TB tier would be thousands of dollars, what service can you recommend?
I used in the past CrashPlan, but I found it very buggy and had to map/remap the folders on the NAS all the time for CrashPlan to see them and then hope they get backed-up.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

As a side question, do you ever actually look at the gb of photo's (I assume the tb is from movies etc) that you have accumulated over the years.
I have many gb of travel and family photos and really don't actually do anything with them. The wife who is a prolific snapper probably does not even know how to find them on the computer.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity
