I have one of the affected CPUs 😒

do you log in to codeberg?

The best kind of correct.

likewise, with ligatures!

on the one hand, yes, I write software and take showers when I’m stumped because it’s a great way to think through it.

on the other hand the world didn’t need an article about it.

yeah the issue honestly is how much someone else has to read to understand your code. it’s weird because the whole article is about making readable code for the next person and he never stops to address the fact that leaving 10x as much code to read might also make life more difficult.

I feel like he just wanted to make a point about how it’s nice to make types immutable and suggest other techniques can be worth implementing too, which I agree with, but honestly his premise is a trainwreck.

I’m happy people are sharing stuff to Lemmy, it’s been a little quiet.

I definitely value the Forbes article over the MSN but we might not be talking about it if we hadn’t seen this post. let’s not be too critical when people are participating positively.

that’s literally the whole point of this?

the point of this is a new youtube is unlikely to take off because people can’t start using it without missing all their regular content.

this means you can keep all your regular content and add new sources, with the same creators, which means they can start to move to new platforms and take their followers. that’s how we’ll replace youtube.

it’s so good, wish I’d found it sooner

I did that once when I moved from one DB IDE to another and didn’t realise the new one only ran the highlighted part of the query.

there were thousands of medical students going through a long process to find placements with doctors and we had a database and custom state machine to move them through the stages of application and approval.

a bug meant a student had been moved to the wrong state. so I used a snippet of SQL to reset that one student, and as a nervous habit highlighted parts of the query as I reread them to be sure it was correct.

then hit run with the first half highlighted, without the where clause, so everyone in the entire database got moved to the wrong fucking state.

we had 24 hourly backups but I did it late in the evening, and because it was a couple of days before the hard deadline for the students to get their placements done hundreds of students had been updating information that day.

I spent until 4am the next day working out ways to imply what state everyone was in by which other fields had been updated to what, and incidentally found the original bug in the process 😒

anyway, I hope you feel better soon buddy. it sucks but it happens, and not just to you. good luck.

use it for home assistant. I’m astonished because my test install from years ago on a pi that’s around 7 years old is going with no intervention aside from updates. it’s crazy robust.

for a while my laptop was slow and I needed a test local environment rebuilding with webpack so I set up a newer pi that ran the Dev servers so my laptop didn’t choke. I’ve got a better laptop now.

it’s free and convenient? if there was another reliable, free git host with a polished web interface and decent cli for features like issues, sure, I’d consider moving to it. I’m not in the market though, I have other work to do

also the github actions workflows are brilliant.

that’s awesome, didn’t know that

yeah, the comic describes it as “the virtually impossible” and directly notes we’ve spent 50 years trying. it’s just a really interesting perspective that it was a recent truism that this stuff is virtually impossible, and we’ve solved it and a huge number of other very difficult problems in less than a decade.

I’m not saying we aren’t building on centuries of work, i’m saying the rate of recent progress is remarkable. I feel like you missed the point on purpose in order to have a hot take.

they did good

edit: tbh honest i think it was around 5 years ago i started being able to identify things with google lens on my phone. they worked fast!

sort of? are you saying you just really like both, or no man’s sky makes you want to play starfield? either way it’s all good, it was just a head scratcher for me.

sorry? I can’t parse this comment at all

it’s fine to learn with. preferable even. I lead a team of devs writing/maintaining four related front-end applications and at a point you really need a better language.

do I get updates? I own word 97, I’m not thrilled I can still use it…

also, what is it?!

would transpilation of C libraries help with the lack of libraries however?

I’m actually cool with that. have a big dataset? charge a fee to use it for training

I’d rather like it if they train it on stuff I say. I want the AI of tomorrow to reflect my thoughts.

seriously I would much prefer gold tier journalism and news sites let it crawl so when people use it to make choices in the future they’re guided to better choices.

it is honestly so hard to know what will happen though, it’s so complicated it’s virtually guaranteed we’re not correctly anticipating the consequences of any of this. I’m not really even talking about the AI, I’m talking about the effects on society which are a lot more complex.

ahhh that makes sense. i was remembering microsoft getting broken up/fined and wondered how an “everything company” could possibly avoid that. turns out you have to have a monopoly to start with, which might have been an issue before he tanked twitter. so i guess genius move, 5d chess etc

I wonder if competition law has anything to say about companies that do everything

I think personal micro-blogging (mastodon) and posting forum-style topics (reddit) can have different words?

he literally named his kid Xæ

dude just loves throwing out Xs

like an illiterate narcissist handing out unsolicited autographs

lol I clicked on the x.com link, then tried to close the “you should log in” shit by tapping the logo.

it just looks like a close button… 😂

good article and I appreciate this isn’t the point, but on a personal level I feel like both at once is pretty bad.

Generally you can have something fast or have something stable and you’re always striking that balance. Sucking at both at the same time should be a red flag.
