How to #evaluate the #performance of a #software #developer?

The majority agrees that #ElonMusk is doing it wrong with the rating: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/elon-twitter-how-manage-software-company-mohamed-el-kamhawi

Elon Musk is asking software engineers to print out the #code they wrote during the last 60 days for #review! this comes after reports that he threatened he will fire engineers if they don't develop the new paid verification #program.

The #problem here is that the review is often very superficial and only the amount of lines of code is evaluated. However, many lines of code say nothing about the quality. Clever lazy software developers can thus unnecessarily inflate their code and receive a good rating.

So with this kind of evaluation you fire very bad but also very good developers.

Since Elon prefers more brute #management, he probably doesn't care, because the #average is still what's needed to get the #job done.

But I wonder if there are not better simple #measurement methods to evaluate a software developer? The #method should preferably determine a value that even a non-expert #project #manager can evaluate.

#question, #linux, #gimp, #gmic

Depuis que j'ai choisi d'installer Mint [Mate] 21.1 j'ai la version Gimp 2.10.30 qui vient avec Gmic 2.9.4.
Cette version de Gmic manque de plusieurs (près de 200) filtres que j'avais avec une version plus récente;
J'ai fini par installer cette dernière version de Gmic (3.2.0) qui est celle que j'utilisais auparavant sous MX-Linux.
J'ai donc maintenant la version installée, mais elle n'est pas intégrée à Gimp, où j'ai toujours Gmic 2.9.4 dans mon menu "Filtres"...
(vous me suivez toujours?)
Ma question, donc:
Y a t'il un moyen de faire en sorte d'avoir la version de Gmic que je veux, intégrée dans le menu "Filtre" de Gimp?

Merci à l'avance!

“We knew who she was, but she did not get VIP treatment,” Hüls (police spokeperson) said. “She did not resist,” he added.

So everyone is equal before the law very democratic but when it comes to police violence the police isn't condemned? Where is the equal law for police brutality?

A Tech #News Site Has Been Using #AI To #Write Articles, So We Did The Same Thing Here

Source: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/katienotopoulos/cnet-articles-written-by-ai-chatgpt-article

The use of AI in #journalism raises questions about the #transparency and #ethics of such a practice as well as the potential impact on the authenticity and accuracy of news. Additionally, it also raises concerns on the implications this might have on #SEO and #Google searches. The lack of response from #CNET regarding their use of AI in writing articles has only added to the concerns and sparked a wider conversation about the future of journalism and the role of AI in it.

Now we only need AI to give likes and write comments. Then we need AI for outrage and start shitstorms and AI that appeases and is diplomatic. Then we can play the #internet completely automatically. We ourselves can then sit back and no longer have to go through all the #madness. What a wonderful world this could be... 😉

C'est cette alternative à #Android que j'aurais pu adopter, aussi bien #Plasma mobile que #Phosh (#Gnome mobile), n'ayant rencontré aucun obstacle majeur tant à l'installation qu'à l'utilisation. / It is this alternative to Android that I could have adopted, Plasma mobile or Phosh (Gnome mobile), having encountered no major obstacles to both installation and use.

Seul souci, et de taille : la partie photographie n'est pas prise en charge, donc inutilisable pour ma part. Dommage... Si quelqu'un a une piste sérieuse pour résoudre ce problème, je suis volontairement preneur. / The only problem, and a big one: no support for camera functions, so I can't use it. Too bad... If someone has a serious solution to this problem, I'm willing to take it

L'installation, après avoir rétrogradé #Android à la version 9, se passe normalement avec Ubports installer (dommage qu'on ne puisse pas récupérer img/zip pour une installation via fastboot/adb).

The installation, after downgrading Android to version 9, is done normally with Ubports installer (too bad you can't get img/zip for an installation via fastboot/adb).

Contrairement à #Mobian, son, LTE et appareil photo fonctionnent. Un gros problème cependant : après 1 à 3 redémarrages du mobile, plus rien. Obligé de passer par l'étape unbrick.

Compared to Mobian, sound, LTE and camera work. A big problem however: after 1 to 3 restarts of the mobile no power. Obliged to go through the unbrick step.

Serait-ce un problème de cohérence de partition firmware (slot inactif) ? Pourrait-il être résolu par la solution propropsée par #LineageOS ?

Could it be a firmware partition consistency problem (inactive slot)? Could it be solved by the solution provided by LineageOS?

Is today's artificial #intelligence really intelligent already?

#Question for #ChatGPT:
What's the best #DAW (digital audio worksttaion) for windows?

  1. Ableton Live
  2. Pro Tools
  3. Logic Pro
  4. FL Studio

Unfortunately, this information is not entirely correct. One of the DAWs you just mentioned does not exist for Windows but only for iOS. Do you know which one I mean?

I apologize for the error in my previous response. Logic Pro is actually a DAW developed by Apple and is only available for macOS and iOS. It is not available for Windows.
I apologize for any confusion my previous response may have caused. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Since ChatGPT obviously had all the information, the first answer cannot be considered particularly intelligent.

In the #future, when we ask far more complex questions to more advanced artificial intelligences, where we can't check the answers so easily, we won't be far away from #answer #42.

Ok, so we say 2 points, 3 points, etc, which makes sense, because these are plural.

And we say 1 point, because it's singular

So far, so good.

But why do we say 0 point*s, 0.5 points*...

Maybe I'm missing something because I am not a native English speaker. What's the rule here?
