There are many tools to measure - but the pattern stays the same.

It's pretty sickening actually. So what if it was about drugs? It's not ChatGPT's business, it's supposed to correct your grammar if necessary. It's a tool. Suppose you hired a dog walker and they suddenly began giving advice about your...

You are not wrong. I've decided to live with the risk (no sarcasm). I'm aware that ChatGPT may be storing everything I write despite OpenAI's privacy policies because corporations are infamous for not respecting them. It's my decision.

That's the bias I'm not a fan of with big-AI providers: I'm asking a computer for information, it can't censor output, without human bias to make it (in which case, how's the information trustworthy?) I don't need parental controls, and I'd be...

Seriously, now, the most productive way of coding is licking-a-toad coding. You lick a toad; you code a little bit amongst colorful clouds and dancing syntax. When you regain your normal vision, you lick the toad again and repeat the process. PS...

Coding under the influence 😆 Was there ever a hackathon or something like that?

How does one loose a tarot card? Sounds ominous. I'm asking for a friend.

Tarot coding is so yesterday news. Chinese startup perfected the Reading of Tea Leafs Coding method. RTLC is the meta, you fools. Or you can try the free tier - it has something to do with stains on one's underwear. It was inspired by Rorschach...

You should never explain yourself to anyone. What you did would be the same as going to a bunch of Windows users and telling them to switch to Linux. People will shit on you. Also, no one will ever think you are cool and hip because you use...

Strong agree. No answer you can give will help you. For example, in the case of speed: 1) You say you were knowingly speeding = bad 2) You say that you had no idea what speed you were going, thus not in control of the vehicle = bad 3) You state...

This is a cheap trick to get you to incriminate yourself. I would answer thusly: "Officer, I'm going to respectfully decline to answer any questions." This is a good answer in the US. Not sure about other countries.

this sounds like an advertisement ngl

afaik, when u install hyprland, seatd is automatically installed. without it, u will not be able to run hyprland. error msg will inform that seatd is not started

I also prefer non-Egyptian braces. Power brother! I find this style of Egyptian braces ironic: void A(int x, int y) { // some code goes here. } Clearly you see a need for space between the function signature and the first line of code...

So your coding is not tarot-complete. How do you deal with the cases that require that?

as you can clearly see, we asked the silicon dawn, and it said 6 of Wands

I shall continue to put curly braces on single lines - and you can't stop me! :p On a serious note, I got into that habit because it made visually matching braces easier. Today, most editors will tell you which pairs of braces match, making this...

+1 for that. It will make your build times shorter and there will be a very small runtime performance benefit.

The software engineering field is full of people who get driven nuts by small things that make little difference. Many of those people join the "coding style" committees of their respective work places, and then turn their own preferences into...

This PKL? https://pkl-lang.org/index.html

one of our college elders was a fan of XML and XML schema and thus XSLT. We once called it "cactus-fucking haskell" (because of all the pointy brackets) to his face and he thought that was hilarious.

xslt... /me reaches for the crucifix.

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...

And auto conversion of parameters makes figuring out which function is called into a wonderful intellectual puzzle. But I don't get paid to solve intellectual puzzle. For a while, we had a coding rule that any single-argument constructor has to...

I would love to see a compiler option that turns *every* autoconversion into a warning (or error).

That's not a problem. It's a feature.;)

What has to happen? The source must be compiled to an executable, put into a pkg file and the pkgdb has to be updated?

that's only a 20 parameter model! my tarot deck is a 99 parameter model, but we lost one, so it only has 98

So your coding is not tarot-complete. How do you deal with the cases that require that?

Virtual size doesn't mean anything useful.

FreeBSD has been essential to most of my jobs since the end of the nineties. Admittedly, I introduced it in most cases.

bi in C is released. the problem in terms of speed resolved but smaller functionality than python version. if you need to edit heavy file, use C version. if need high functionality, use python version.

"No, officer. I hope it's not because of the drugs and the dead body I'm carrying in the trunk."

a lot of people believe their personal preferences are equivalent to morality and if you don't like the same things they do, you're a bad person. this explains a lot about many people's behavior.

The closer I get to "retirement" the fewer opinions I care about. My dogs, my wife, the butcher that is cutting me a 4lb boneless ribeye roast from the big end: those I care about. The rest of humanity? Not so much.

Very true. Though the direction of the leadership is to remain UNIX-like. With GNU and Linux this has only ever been a symptom of its legacy, rather than a direction. Big, tangled and heavy has always been the GNU way. Plus BSD leadership isn't...

Personal Identity strongly attached to a tool in form of a brand. When the team is a bit of underdog (Linux), but strong enough, fans can be particularly nasty. Similar to team sports or politics. FreeBSD is too much of an oddity. Fans of Linux...

"You are either with us/Linux, or against us/Linux"

Because people believe what they wanna believe. It's their business. Your business is to create the best environment possible for yourself.

You should never explain yourself to anyone. What you did would be the same as going to a bunch of Windows users and telling them to switch to Linux. People will shit on you. Also, no one will ever think you are cool and hip because you use...

One of the very possibilities I'm thinking about (and one of the things I consider "political" because of the way he uses it) !

Of course I get your point. I am not an expert on roff, but I have a different sense of the importance of separating structure and rendering. This is like the story of HTML and CSS. Originally HTML did not strongly distinguished between...
