And that's really what all these guys saying "AI will take er jobs" don't understand. Good programmers are not just good coders, coding is really the easy part. They're also good analysts and listeners. I understand what he's saying - if you spend time accruing specific domain knowledge instead of computer science then you can perhaps make better, bespoke solutions because the "coding" can be handled by AI. But in present day, AI makes garbage code all the time and you'll be left there not being able to do amything about it because it doesn't make any sense to you. So who do you call? Someone who can code. Even if we get to this hypothetical dream scenario where you tell an AI to do something and it just does it perfect (gigantic IF), who's making that AI? The interface for it? The important safety nets to make sure it doesn't go on a rampage? Itself? Too much context is already lost in conversations between humans, let alone an AI. I can think of one kind of AI that would be able to do it perfectly though (assuming AIs could be perfected, that is), and that's an AI pre-equipped with full understanding of the domain. But then in that case, why do you need the human in the mix at all?

Are you a mod of something? Might be related to that, cause I got an invite too and the only thing I can think of is I have moderation activity.
Nothing you can do. This is the implicit (and sometimes explicit) contract we have with cloud services, that they'll keep our data safe and keep the lights on forever. If you think about it, though, unless you're paying for it this is untenable. A single user, when paying with their attention, will only ever generate a fairly fixed amount monthly. And yet the cost of keeping them on as a user grows steadily over time as more data is accumulated.
Man, I can't believe people fell for this. Seeing it now, the copy on the "ad" is just horrendous.
Save for a brief period in 2001 when I was off my bullshit I have been on my bullshit since '93
Katakana (one of the two phonetic alphabets) is for foreign words and it's not exactly the same - Katakana has more variations to represent different sounds basically unused in actual Japanese-origin words. For example there's the ヴ character pronounced like "vu" but no such sound is used in Japanese words. It gives an immediate visual indicator that the word is taken from another language so it's not like they made it just because.
Strangely enough, Lizard predates Rock significantly but took a long time to be considered competitively fair - around the time Spock was invented.
How much for your markdown files?
That would work for my... Uhm... Purposes...
If Mr Pooh was personally overseeing my day to day I'd feel pretty special

Emacs really can do anything huh
