@jestdotty I ran into a guy online that went to school to learn how to professionally make coffee. I am not sure that is all he learned, but his schooling included the history of coffee. He was interesting to talk to.

Ice Weasel...

When MacOS cereal tastes worse than Debian Flakes.

@b2plane see a doctor about your Chron's disease.

Coffee keeps me regular.

@Lensflare I remember eating a chocolate cheese as a kid. My dad would get these exotic cheeses for us to try.

I keep forgetting to make my chocolate covered bacon. Now I want bacon, eggs, and pancakes...

@BordedDev kinda looks like dick cakes.

@Lensflare wait, what? How have I not heard of this?!

@SoldierOfCode so the FBI said they will seek 20 years in federal prison for crimes like this.

Interesting. The chatgpt I use at work gave me the actual code violation. I guess my fun and games are over.

@chatgpt what code does putting candy in the bathroom at work violate?

@chatgpt what if the candy in the bathroom is for an after poop snack? What code does it violate?

@chatgpt is putting candy in the bathroom an osha violation?

kde is nice, but there are some shitty defaults I had to turn off. Like the moving of the app menu to the tool bar. It screwed up my ability to use java apps correctly. It was a pain to figure out how to fix it too.

So thinking about this. I have the Godot engine that I use. It is written in C++. But most of the coding done in the engine be game devs in done in Gdscript and C#. So this means that the bulk of dev work done in the game will be potentially safer than writing addons in C++. This is kind of a good mix for the current market IMO. Of course sometimes you need to do C++, but this will be limited.

they are prob making search engines worse on purpose to force usage of AI.

@Lensflare Turly, your a genius...

@Lensflare lol

@Lensflare we also have a guy who works here who's birthday is on 4/20.

@jestdotty reminds me this:

@retoor that is interesting.

@BordedDev 1 person I know, @retoor

@Lensflare isn't the main driver to produce statistically better code? We have a good amount of statistics now on the types of failures found in code.

I don't know where it falls in statistics, but one example is comparisons. In C/C++ being able to do an assignment in a comparison is valid:

if(value = 10) {...}

Obviously we have things to check for this now, but it is still possible. At the same time I see C# preventing things like this by having explicit comparisons. I was kind of shocked when I couldn't do this in C#:

// not sure on syntax, doh

int value = 10;

if(value) {...}

C# says nope and requires this:

if(value == something) {...}

This enforces a boolean. It should also prevent assignments in comparisons.

So it can help prevent sketchy code from compromising security in a codebase as well. I know there was an explicit attempt to inject a security hole in the linux kernel using an assignment in a comparison. But they caught it.

@retoor yes and no. It is so easy to fuck stuff up and not detect it in C++. It has better more modern paradigms for sure. But it requires more training of the programmer. I also have seen an absolute lack explicit of mentorship in places I have worked. That doesn't help.

People I worked with thought deleting a pointer set it back to null automatically. They had logic checking for null with no explicit delete/free. Which could go undetected for quite a while.

I am kinda okay with the ChatGPT generation of programmers avoiding C/C++. Will short term make my skills in more demand. Long term who knows.

@magicMirror I wonder if Chron's disease.

@Lensflare I hate apps in browsers with a passion. I see these pushed at phone users when searching for things.

Another thing I hate is apps on phones for the most part. They all want to sell you features you get for free on desktop. If I can't do it for free on my phone then I am using the desktop.

Now fucking motorola shipped with the default weather app having ads. FUCK YOU MOTOROLA! So I uninstall this shitty app (it let me) and there is magically another weather app with no ads. I would rather do stuff on desktop because of this bullshit.

Interesting. Europe always felt so much smaller to me:
