A little insane, but in a good way.
someone watching you code in a google doc
I’ve had nightmares less terrifying than this

I think the incentives are a bit different here. If we can keep the threadiverse nonprofit, and contribute to the maintenance costs of the servers, it might stay a much friendlier place than Reddit.
We should do an AmA with her!
Here people actually react to what I post and write. And they react to the best possible interpretation of what I wrote, not the worst. And even if we disagree, we can still have a nice conversation.
Does anyone have a good theory about why the threadiverse is so much friendlier? Is it only because it’s smaller? Is it because of the kind of people a new platform like this attracts? Because there is no karma? Maybe something else?
Here is your Lemmy Gold:
YAML is extremely complex for a configuration format and it has many really weird edge cases:
The problem is IMHO made worse because it looks so friendly at first glance.
This describes 99% of AI startups.
The company I work for was considering using Mendable for AI-powered documentation search. I built a prototype using OpenAI embeddings and GPT-3.5 that was just as good as their product in a day. They didn’t buy Mendable :)
This is an excellent explanation of hashing, and the interactive animations make it very enjoyable and easy to follow.
I absolutely agree. But:
Obviously as a Hungarian I have a soft spot for Hungarian notation :) But in these cases I think it’s warranted.
I understand what you mean, and I even agree with it, but just to be a little pedantic, variable names are code, or at least they are more code than comments or docs.
But yes, encoding units into the type system is a much better solution. It doesn’t work however for config options, environment variables or CLI switches.
I’m sure it’s a nice client but I don’t understand why so many GUI projects have no screenshots in their READMEs. It would be great if I could immediately see if I like it without installing it.
EDIT: thanks for adding the screenshot to your post! It looks awesome!
Nice to see some OC on here! (And it’s also funny :) )
This is pretty awesome and it shows how far .NET has come in recent years.
We have our own memes now??
/u/Ategon do you ever sleep? It’s insane how much you work on making this instance great.
You’re right, they also have to prove their counterarguments, and those who don’t do it are often bad programmers. But I’ve also experienced the same with some actually brilliant people.
That may be part of it but I’ve also observed it among fellow programmers.
You give your opinion about something and your coworker has a smug, arrogant knee-jerk reaction based on some cargo-cult belief without actually thinking about the details of the problem. Then you need to walk them through why what you said is not what they meant step-by-step, and while it may be wrong it is still a valid opinion. If you succeed, they completely change and become cooperative, and you can have an actually useful discussion. But you have to be super patient, like when taming an irritated feral cat that wants to scratch you. If you’re good, the cat becomes cuddly and cute.
This works but I’m extremely tired of having to perform this dance with 60% of the new coders I meet.
Wow… did he not know about the multiplication operator?
Lol that’s like saying there’s too much porn on /r/gonewild
