Yeah I was taught coding in a fake programming language so it couldn't be compiled or run. It really was "by hand" coding since we had written tests.

He sounds insufferable because he's calling syntax highlighting childish. Not simply politely saying it's not his thing. It's like he can't understand why anyone else would use it, or isn't bothering to. Maybe th

That still might work better with older texts. As AI-generated text gets more prevalent, I'm guessing people will start subconsciously adopting AI writing styles.

AI hype is also tiring.

Yep, and if I did there's no way I'd understand my previous notes.

I'm getting out of my comfort zone (software) to work on a telepresence robot for my D&D games. My main motivator for this is that I'm often the only person remote for these sessions and it's difficult to hear just the D

Yeah I loaded it up and had no idea what to do.

Yes, a public database like this would be acceptable. That way the info isn't paywalled behind some white pages site or similar. And then maybe I could even update my own info to be correct. Contact info is pretty much out there for

I don't disagree, but broadening your network is a very different skill (being social) than handling investment portfolios. And for some of us, it's not that we necessarily despise creating or maintaining a network, it's tha

I recently had a coworker open my eyes to why vibe coding, or AI-assisted coding is so popular. He likened it to a slot machine, where pulling the slot's arm is like asking an LLM to code something. You get crap most of the time, but w

I'd argue genes nor life has a "goal". They are what they are because they've been successful at continuing their existence. Would you say a rock's goal is not to get broken?

Just curious, what metrics would you use to track how well your results are?

I took a Computer Science class decades ago that used that book as the core of the class material. I don't remember a single thing about that class now except that I hate that book and the professor bragging about designing cockpit ins

I use Xreal Air Pros for gaming and sometimes working if I'm mobile. Resolution isn't great, but I find them better than looking at a small-ish laptop screen or the Steam Deck screen. You can definitely read text on them, but ma

It depends, the frameworks I've seen require a ton of boilerplate (ie. the things tools like create-react-app sets up for you) and have quite a learning curve. Using what you already know is simpler, and some of us know vanilla html, c

Yeah, sounds like Tiddly Wiki or similar except with the need for a backend component. Edit: actually it looks more like a library/framework to make such apps. And now I'm not sure if it needs a backend component or nodejs or not

I think the answer to "classic mode" browsing is at the bottom of the site: web rings.

From what I've heard anecdotally, there have been a bunch more PRs and bug reports generated by AI. But I've also heard they're generally trash and just wasting the project maintainers' time.

It's hard to take a developer seriously when they don't document their code and think unit tests are a waste of time.

I always pick apart previous teams' work.. it's how I learn. I question most every decision because I'm curious why they made those decisions. And it lets me think about how I'd do it better. And yes, I know that many

For those of use that haven't use Angular, can you explain what this is doing? And what's it do that we can't already do with asyncio? Also, it's weird you have to call `asyncio.sleep(0)`. Seems like you should be abl

Babies also aren't rectangles.. you could lay a row shoulder to shoulder, then do another row upside down from the first and their heads would fit between the heads of the first row, saving space. Edit: it also doesn't account for

Smaller instance can become big. Say you set up a small instance and invite your family. Then family members want to invite their family, or friends, or whomever. How do you manage that? I think the answer is what we see with Mastodon, etc

I think you're missing the entire point of the article. It's attempting to classify a fictional, alien species with a real taxonomy (the only one we currently have available to us). And yes, "just because they superficially

That sounds great for moving fast, but not so great for sharing and keeping info about these projects. If/when someone quit, how would their projects get split up for other devs to maintain?

I skimmed it, but couldn't find what the "doodle theorem" is. It's only mentioned in the title.

Yeah I had no clue what this site was until reading the comments. I saw you could move things on the page around, then gave up because I had no idea what the point was. I didn't even find the github link until I saw your comment and

I have Xreal glasses, and it's handy to be able to pin a window to a physical spot (well, direction in this case). I used that feature to have basically a virtual TV on my laundry room wall while I watched a video on how to fix my dry
