it’s good at answering questions like that

Are you sure about that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtBI2BvPKBQ

Remember: if you don't know enough about the topic in question to grade its answers then you're not judging its ability to answer accurately, you're judging it's ability to convince you.

Ah yes, the ol' people are annoyed at the actions I chose to take, so I'll call it a joke defence

It's for the best.

Learning how code works is better than getting an LLM to produce convincing looking code without anyone having an understanding of how it works.

LLMs just teach students to paint themselves into a corner without them even realising why bad things keep happening to them.

How is that my problem

Well let's break it down...

You thought:

Yeah, it’s called .deb

Was an acceptable response to:

Because it’s nice for devs to have a single package type to build per OS


Your problem was your stupidity.

But now your problem is everyone knowing about it.

What's with all the complaints here?

New users expect middle click to bring up an auto-scroll widget instead of pasting by default.

You can set up your computer how ever you want.

Want auto-scroll? Set it to auto-scroll.

Want paste? Set it to paste.

The first thing you do on a new system is set up the computer how you want.

No one's taking anything away from you.

I don't see any actual temper lost here.

In one case he points out that someone is making commits that have messed up a file's indentation, and to stop doing that because it's messing things up (they were).

In the other case he points out that rust's default format rules are wrong (in the context of version control readability, they are) and asks someone to fix them.

What to know about blue supermoons:

  1. They literally mean nothing.
  2. The change is imperceptible to everyone.
  3. Expect useless clickbait slop about it until it passes.

I made a thing (codepen.io)

Single HTML element + CSS only

  1. Inhale for 4 seconds
  2. Hold for 4 seconds
  3. Exhale for 4 seconds
  4. Hold for 4 seconds

And repeat

Note: The current Safari version has a bugged linear() implementation that has been fixed in the upcoming version.

There's a reason Teams is/was shit.

The first teams was written in AngularJS (which is a slow to run resource hog, but fast to develop) wrapped in Electron. It was kind of a minimum viable product, just to build something quickly to get some feedback and stats on what people needed.

The plan was to build a new native version of teams and build it into the next windows while having an web fallback (built on react) for everyone else.

They stopped working on the original teams and started working on the new versions.

They got half-way through working on the native and react versions when suddenly, covid happened.

They couldn't keep working on the new versions because they wouldn't be ready for a while, so they had to go back and resume development on the old one, introducing patch after patch to quickly get more features in there (like more than 2 webcam streams per call).

Eventually covid subsided and they were able to resume development on the new teams versions.

Windows 11 launched with a native teams version (which has less features but runs super quick), and the new react based teams (which can now be downloaded in a webview2 wrapper) has been in open beta since late last year (if you've seen the "Try the new Teams" toggle, then you've seen this). The React+Webview2 teams will replace the AngularJS+Electron version as the default on July 7th.

Github has always had being a job site be it's secondary feature.

Except that it has a slightly higher bar of entry to recruiters and recruitment bots spreading toxic positivity, and anyone asking for a job is able to prove (at least some of) their value by showing off their code and how they participate publically in other repos (if at all).

Shows a great example of JS' new using keyword (similar to defer in D, Go, Swift, etc...)

cURL was one of these for a while (according to my limited understanding)

It was made in the 90s and it didn't get commercial support until a few years ago.

Comments should provide context, not repeat what the code already says. The Redis codebase has 9 distinct types of comments (Function, Design, Why, Teacher, Checklist, Guide, Trivial, Debt, Backup), each with a specific goal in mind.

The mistake most devs make when trying to document their project is that they only make one (maybe two) types of documentation based on a readme template and/or what their mental model of a newcomer needs.

Devs need to be actively taught that:

  1. Good documentation isn't one thing, it's four. To have good documentation, you need all four distinct types of documentation.
  2. What the four types of documentation are (this is discussed in the link)

If you don't have all four types of documentation, you have bad documentation.
