A real nerd would know that React is a library and HTML is a markup language, and neither are programming languages.

It's delusional to think he was ever going to do anything but accelerate the genocide.

Exactly, heavy taxation on the ultra wealthy and wealth caps are incredibly popular topics in liberal circles. I swear some people have never actually talked to a liberal and just attack some strawman they've lumped in together with conservatives.

I'm leftist and anti-capitalist, but I also recognize that most liberals are people who want the same things leftists do, but simply haven't thought deeply enough about what the true root causes of society's issues are. It's an issue of tactics rather than a fundamental disconnect in core principles and values. Ultimately they want a more equitable, less stratified society where society helps and supports the disenfranchised. The same thing leftists want. They just don't understand that capitalism has to go in order to achieve it.

Liberals, unlike conservatives, are actually generally quite reasonable people since they aren't motivated by hatred. As leftists, we should be doing everything we can to educate them and bring them into the fold, rather than tearing them down.

Spoken like a true addict.

Tiktok is genuinely terrible, as is Facebook and Instagram (though TikTok is somewhat worse).

You're on Lemmy. People here don't like Facebook or Instagram either.

Glad you got fired. Vaccines should always be mandatory save for legitimate, doctor-validated medical exemptions.

Anti-vaxxers are fucking stupid and should either be educated properly or, if they still refuse to do their civic duty after being de-programmed of misinformation, punished. You are only allowed to participate in society if you take the necessary steps that you are morally and ethically obligated to do in order to protect it from preventable, transmissible disease. We had eradicated polio until stupid motherfuckers like yourself decided that it would be a good idea to forgo the standard polio vaccine schedule that we've had for decades. Now, we saw the first case in 30 years in 2022 because someone selfishly thought that their personal beliefs were more important than the health and livelihood of everyone else.

Yep. Postgres is fantastic and there's no justification to use proprietary bullshit like that.

It's got nothing to do with capitalism. It's fundamentally a matter of people using it for things it's not actually good at, because ultimately it's just statistics. The words generated are based on a probability distribution derived from its (huge) training dataset. It has no understanding or knowledge. It's mimicry.

It's why it's incredibly stupid to try using it for the things people are trying to use it for, like as a source of information. It's a model of language, yet people act like it has actual insight or understanding.

In case you're not familiar, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grok.

It's somewhat common slang in hacker culture, which of course Elon is shitting all over as usual. It's especially ironic since the meaning of the word roughly means "deep or profound understanding", which their AI has anything but.

For an adult? Nah. You can certainly kindly let them know that this isn't really gonna work and explain why (and let them know you appreciate the effort), but the rest of it is way overkill and could easily be seen as patronizing, imo. They're an adult, not a 13 year old.

Also, I interpreted the OP as finding it humorously absurd (which it is) rather than being frustrated or anything.

Not only is this really gross, it's also straight up wrong. It's missing a from clause, and it makes no sense for a where clause to be nested under the select. The select list selects columns from rows that have already been filtered by the where clause. Same for the limit.

Also just gonna go ahead and assume the JSX parser will happily allow SQL injection attacks...

Thank God. Adobe needs to stay the hell away from Figma.

So tired of this rhetoric. AI isn't replacing any software engineering jobs, nor could it. It's a joke, quite frankly.
