It must be a European thing, you don't really see that very often in the United States, we would view someone with that reaction as possible having a mental illness.

I have very frequently the experience that some people get offended when they meet someone more intelligent than them. I can imagine that people acting that way, and so stupid to also personalize AI, do get upset.

That isn’t comfort it’s a distinction. AI can solve problems; engineering is deciding which problems are worth solving and how they fit into reality. And it was a honest response, I don't get upset because a tool can do a particular task better...

16-current just replaced GNU diff3 with a BSD version. The only piece of GPLed software left in FreeBSD is now dialog/libdialog.

So how do I know they can write good documentation? Because the ones who do now have a job. Good docs aren’t harder than coding, we only tell you that to make you feel special, so you keep doing the job we don't want to do.

Excuse me that I am impolite, but is this answer perhaps mere comforting? Of course, and I know a little of troff, but only a little. To do the work, it would take a lot of time, also for redacting the text, and hence I would not do it. I said...

It should work in FreeBSD shells/bash as well as in any Linux distro, because keybindings syntax and functionality are determined by the library that is used to deal with user input. shells/bash uses readline, no matter the OS. But for instance...

I presume -x means remove all current bindings for the key sequence. You probably want to use -r on FreeBSD. You can find the documentation in editrc as directed from sh. The manpages for shell builtins are don't actually document their syntax...

I hate writing documentation. We give that job to the people in the company no one trusts to write code.

Original article here. Consider this when replying. FreeBSD, The FreeBSD Foundation, and The FreeBSD Forums are not associated with the content of this article.

The company I work for has a $25 million contract with OpenAI, which gives us access to models that aren’t available to the public. AI is insanely good at programming and teaching, but the versions the public pays to use are not the same ones...

Without looking at link: `roff` isn't guaranteed to render properly on a BSD OS because BSD uses the `mandoc` program (a parser) to render `mdoc` macros. All the AI generated manages I've seen are full of mistakes so I would be careful. AI may be...

And all these proponents of AI forget one thing, one thing that Henry Ford had understood. AI bots don't buy whatever you offer.

As one who used to work in a news TV station--though its been decades--and has a relation in TV news today, this is true. As far as using AI to program, clay still doesn't mold itself.

There would be no government bro they would effectively be signing there own death warrants. You have any idea how many people in this country would be seeing that as opportunity to hunt-down anyone remotely connected to politics. I live in...

If you just want to engage in an activity you like, and don't mind finding the mistakes, there's nothing inherently wrong with that in most cases. But, there are so many documents that need to be produced and maintained for most projects that...

Judging from the news, they would lie like a carpet that the cause is their neighbor (sorry bob) and that you should eat your cats and dogs. Judging from what is currently happening in response to the current admin, I'd say those 300+ million...

Stallman and the GPL the original masters of framing a prison cell as freedom.

This is the logo concept I like; however, I would need permission from the FreeBSD Foundation before I could officially use it.

The compositor and the desktop supports multiple monitors now. And I just realized that monitor color settings are not the same. Lol ;)

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman, and his exact words were “So white-collar work, where you’re sitting down at a computer, either being a lawyer or an accountant or a project manager or a marketing person — most of those tasks will be fully...

Then don't use it.

You would not kload it. Once it's installed if you run startx, then X should start. You might be better off with vm-bhyve, which automates some of it. Then you could use a template like loader="uefi" graphics="yes" xhci_mouse="yes" cpu=1...

Plank now, after having always used Tint2 :'‑( , with OpenBox I'm using also it with Polybar. One at the top, the other at the bottom. Vermaden has an excellent tutorial with dzen, conky (modified, etc.)

It's true, no chance the company I work for is going to pay an engineer six figures to write documentation, we give that shit to interns who we don't have to pay or can pay very little.

I’ll watch it, but before I do I can tell you upfront that San Francisco is probably the reason for whatever he’s going through. I have a friend who lives there she has a PhD in psychology, and jobs are insanely hard to get or keep in that part...

It depends what you're doing with that writing. Personally, I tend to use Zim desktop wiki for such things, just because it makes things more organized and I don't intend to share it. But, if you're writing technical documentation, most of the...

Does it obey to all the rules in mdoc(7)?

C++ opens up all kinds of problems. On the overloads, I'm in no way or shape or form pro or contra. If the API library you're using uses them, you use them, plain and simple. Consider also operator overloads as something that is very concealing...

Hmmm, why doesn't ZFS use the crypto routines that are already in the FreeBSD and Linux kernels?

I do have. I would not trust it for writing a program, but for writing documentation is OK, I know what the program does and can check correctness of the description. The errors I mentioned are probably in the code examples, to be seen as typos...

Exactly. JSON was not created as a replacement or substitute for XML.

Thus the problem. There is an article online that says the free AI tools are not what company programmers use. Those types pay for the AI tools they use and that means hundreds of dollars a month. Even then the generated code has to be gone...

This is the version in OpenBSD, look at the license...

Very good chance. The legacy kernel screen was still the 80x25 hardware console. Kind of a loss. It's good to be able to look back until power-on.

I think it's more of a matter of taste or habit. Furthermore, comparisons should be made not only for the web and related documents, but also for other applications, using not only JavaScript as a yardstick (by the way, in vulpine's link doesn't...

I just used claude AI for writing a man page for a trivial, small script: https://chiselapp.com/user/hruodr/repository/Txl/dir?ci=tip I think I would never have done it without this help. I would not have wasted time. It would have remained...

I remember to scroll back to the bootloader output but I can't get there anymore. It seems to be removed. Maybe the kms graphics can't remember it after changing resoluton.

Don't do photos. Copy/paste the actual text.

There is a slight quirk here with inheritance. virtual void Employee::jump(); void Employee::jump(float _height); // Manager inherits Employee void Manager::jump(); You can't now do: Manager m; m.jump(9.0f); Weird huh? When a derived class...
