I'm assuming you live in Montreal. That's what you get for living in Montreal.
I'd be willing to bet your health would improve tenfold if you go to BC. -
A good, classic, agreeable rant. Take my upvote!
-
I think there's a large population of nerdy freaks in this industry which love to correct others so much that they need to think about baseball or grandma to avoid climaxing when they pull off a successful "WELL ACTUALLY,"
-
@lorentz oh yes I’ve actually had that before on my own domains lol. Makes sense.
-
@lorentz mind sharing what your VPN was filtering out? Any calls to suspicious services or was it a false positive?
-
Pivoted from gamers to devs? I might give it a little look.

@retoor the biggest problem is AI does a “good enough” job even if you don’t use it right, but the slop creeps in.
Bugs that are hard to notice, hundreds comments that are full of emoji etc. These people don’t care enough to learn how not to slop the codebase with their chat bots. They just want the work to be done so they can jerk off all day.
And thus, it makes it a tool worth banning if people are using it incorrectly. -
@retoor I’m assuming it means “getting caught slopping the codebase” which he did
-
@djsumdog yup DLL hell in Windows can be rare, but real. I’ve had it just a single time but that was largely the projects fault.
-
@TeachMeCode eventually you're just gonna get a PDF document for each line of code.
It's just more junior-level thinking, as juniors tend to absolutely love comments (they haven't realized that they LIE yet) -
I ran into a pretty interesting issue recently.
If it's a system that is well-documented, but has not much example code available (in my case, some Oracle database package that is well documented but seldom used) it hallucinates like a motherfucker!
The reason? It has nothing to copy, and instead must think. Which, of course, it's poor at doing and always will be. -
@SidTheITGuy or better yet, an address so we can conduct wellness checks!
-
@Lensflare well then I'd suppose it's a tough life being a potato lover.
-
@sjwsjwsjw GraphQL? Disappearing logs? What a fuckin headache.
-
I love to teach juniors! Explaining the magic of computers to them can be so satisfying, as long as they themselves aren't lame (happens).
I hate to teach my peers (only in reference to things they should already know) -
@Lensflare unfortunately both (potato lovers are very upset about it)
-
Been working with dependencies in linux and windows for a good number of years now. The GAC certainly makes Windows more complicated, but the ecosystem fragmentation in linux makes it just as complicated over there.
Frankly, you just pick your poison and hope you don't need to support both! -
Instead of slopping the market with my GoochGPT, I just let my account die (I purchased the developer license for $20 when I was like 14 years old, centuries ago now)
-
Much like the actual cold fusion, which is synonymous with "scam" in the field of physics.

Have you tried pre-workout yet? It seriously upped my performance.
-
Nice I've been going to the gym at least 4x a week for three years or so now and I feel fantastic. Myself, financially, I have close to 4 years worth of savings and am very seriously dabbling in the stock market.
-
AI is so smart it doesn't want to do JavaScript and thus gave you a poor answer so you'd read the docs yourself.

@retoor You were coding python in 2004?

Benchmarks are the programmer's most valuable vessels for lies.

Only the weak will be culled

I hate 200-always APIs. Fuck that.
However, some encodings are just better than JSON. For example, JSON excels in tree-like structures, but is inefficient in tabular data. CSV is one of the best human-readable formats for 80% of data out there, which still fits into a flat, tabular model. -
It doesn’t! I installed Win11 on a laptop without a TPM by opening the console during install, changing a flag, and continuing. Look it up if it will help you.

Suspiciously close to the release of the AI slop-ified Google Finance, which includes a beta switch (that I have switched to “classic” because new version is dogass

@D-4got10-01 spoke too soon oopsie!
