  • When they're not in the way of anything i don't care, but there is one near me that halfs the distance i can walk or bicycle without going on the highway and that is bullshit

  • People that make enough to "live in the trader Joe's district" but have to keep working at their job to keep living in their apartment have way more in common with people that make less than them than they do the people that don't have to work at all.

  • Haven’t the democrats been the working class party all along?

    Relatively speaking, at least...

  • Working class people tend to be less-educated, live in more rural areas

    I think the working class is much broader than that, and part of our problem is this perception.

  • Pretty much everything we've seen indicates voters are more loyal to trump than to maga in general. What makes you think they'd follow MTG?

  • How much are SOLID principles in OOP programming (and JVM languages specifically) just a mindless following of a set of ideas that aren't always the best solution?

  • I'm done spending time on this. If you are so insistent on being confidently incorrect then have at it.

  • You can write code that is dependent on using a specific width of data type. You can compile code for different platforms. I have no idea what you're thinking when you say "wildly incompatible", but I guarantee you there is code that runs on both Nintendo DS and Windows.

  • Incompatible? It is for cross platform code. Wtf are you even talking about

  • Debian demands Rust or rust in peace for legacy ports

    Jump

  • Unless they absolutely guarantee feature-parity with the existing C-based utils

    Is there any reason to think they won't?

    Debian is really losing the plot IMO. Glad I switched to Devuan some time ago.

    Aren't you just an anti-wayland anti-systemd weirdo? Not that there is anything wrong with using what you want, but pretending they aren't much needed improvements in the long run is ridiculous

  • "int" can be different widths on different platforms. If all the compilers you must compile with have standard definitions for specific widths then great use em. That hasn't always been the case, in which case you must roll your own. I'm sure some projects did it where it was unneeded, but when you have to do it you have to do it

  • You recognize that it is absurd to complain about recommendations and then recommend something you know nothing about and refuse to stand behind, right?

    Jump

  • If it makes the code easier to maintain it's good. If it doesn't make the code easier to maintain it is bad.

    Making interfaces for everything, or making getters and setters for everything, just in case you change something in the future makes the code harder to maintain.

    This might make sense for a library, but it doesn't make sense for application code that you can refactor at will. Even if you do have to change something and it means a refactor that touches a lot, it'll still be a lot less work than bloating the entire codebase with needless indirections every day.

  • Nothing outside of the first paragraph here is terribly meaningful, and the first paragraph is just trying to talk past what I said before. I'll reiterate, very clearly.

    I have observed several of my coworkers that used to be really good at their jobs, get worse at their jobs (and make me spend more ensuring code quality) since they started using using LLM tools. That's it. That's all I care about. Maybe they'll get better. Maybe they won't. But right now I'd strongly prefer people not use them, because people using them has made my experience worse.

  • Excel vs database

    Jump

  • Obviously they should be using Microsoft Access (this is a joke).

    They generally mean to use a separate database application, that runs on a server. This will have access controls, multi user access and depending on the database, an enforced schema.

    SQL is a query language that is generally used for relational databases. There are also a lot of databases that don't use sql, for various reasons. A relational database and SQL is a good place to start learning about databases though. Postgres is a really common one these days.

    As far as using a database, you'd need to set up a database - you can find guides as to how to do this locally. You can then run queries against it using the command line or an application like pgAdmin. You could also make a program that utilizes it.

    I keep seeing it over and over again. Anyone that actually has to deal with coworkers using this bullshit that isn't also in the cult is going to recognize it.

    If I had a nickle for every singl yada yada yada

    Sure, there have always been better and worse developers. LLMs are making developers that used to be better, worse.

  • Unfortunately a lot of people are trying to outsource code review to LLMs as well. Also, LLM generated code is more likely to have subtle errors that a human would be very unlikely to make in otherwise mundane code. Errors that are easy to gloss over if you don't take a magnifying glass to it. My current least favorite thing is LLM generated unit tests that don't actually test what they say they do.

  • Do you actually read documentation, or just search it when you’re stuck?

    Jump

  • I read it. Saves a lot of time in the long run
