>arguably, yes, they should RTFM Agreed. Good design is when the things do what you expect them to do without reading the manual, don't reuse wording with other meaning in the wrong way. That way if you do encounter nee wording, you

>Fun fact! Lime putty is anti-mold even in humid conditions because upon exposure to moisture, CaOH2 + H20 becomes too basic for mold to grow on. Can we use this instead of grout in the bathroom somehow?

>(Apparently that particular department was the wrong one, to ask a question like that!) Yes, the math department. In any case linear algebra, stochastics, calculus; plenty of engineering and science applications for all these.

So it's not just me. I'm glad, I feel weird that I have to save links to every Google doc and every internal confluence page because there's no proper search across these. Especially in a filesystem I know where I placed some

Jagged Alliance 2 wasn't really as much a stealth game but had a lot of the same kind of tactical thinking to it that I liked in Commandos.

>so heavily RL'd with grep At least codex listens to me telling it to use rg instead of grep, cause grep is often so slow. But when adding rtk it uses grep through rtk which is kind of annoying.

Also the question remains if more CVE laden code was produced in the first place, instead of automated detection improvements. It's easier to find a needle in the haystack if the haystack is 50% needles.

What were your syntax stumbling blocks? I must be honest I've used jq enough but can never remember the syntax. It's one of the worst things about jq IMO (not the speed, even though I'm a fan of speedups). There's someth

Replying here because the other comment is too deeply nested to reply. Even if it's once off, some people handle a lot of once-offs, that's exactly where you need good CLI tooling to support it. Sure jq isn't exactly super sl

In Germany I'd say you still make more with white collar, if you have a job. The problem for Gen Z though, is that they aren't hiring for junior positions. Still if you go blue collar you have to build your own business.

>They're not generic but they do the job, so if you have a bottleneck, you can solve it. But that's the thing, in other languages you don't need a workaround to work on primitives directly.

The problem is rather that Java doesn't have generics and structs, so you're kind of forced to box things or can't use collections.

Nice. My test was always a blond bald guy. It always adds hair. If you ask for bald you get a dark haired bald guy, if you add blond, you can't get bald because I guess saying the hair color implies hair (on the head), while you may ju

Not unlikely that you're talking to a lot of AI-based AI boosters. It's easier to create astroturfed comments with chatbots than fixing the inherent problems.

I'd add to this, any moderately involved logical or numerical problem causes hallucinations for me on all frontier models. If you ask them in isolation they may write a script to solve it "properly", but I guess this is becau

Exactly, you would probably also pay for a good one. I tried maybe 10 and gave up. I now carry a small booklet where you can rip off the pages, for notes and todos. Still way better than the phone apps

Which is not getting better. I'd pay you 10€ for a TODO app that improved my life meaningfully. It would obviously need to have great UX and be stable. Those are table stakes. I don't have the time to look at all these apps thoug

This might be happening, too, however B2C advertising and heavy astroturfing is a sure sign that they don't even think they're close to this goal. The average consumer pays the least for subscriptions and asks most uninteresting q
