Lol that’s like saying there’s too much porn on /r/gonewild

someone watching you code in a google doc

I’ve had nightmares less terrifying than this

TIL. Thank you! (Now I will ssh into all my VPSes and set this up!)

(cool username btw)

Wow, an actually good summary of what the problem is with Reddit

I think the incentives are a bit different here. If we can keep the threadiverse nonprofit, and contribute to the maintenance costs of the servers, it might stay a much friendlier place than Reddit.

This describes 99% of AI startups.

The company I work for was considering using Mendable for AI-powered documentation search. I built a prototype using OpenAI embeddings and GPT-3.5 that was just as good as their product in a day. They didn’t buy Mendable :)

I don’t use it often, but when I do it saves me hours.

For example, I used it recently in a large project that had no CI. The build failed, and I could find the first commit it failed on using bisect in a couple of minutes.

This is an excellent explanation of hashing, and the interactive animations make it very enjoyable and easy to follow.

I’m sure it’s a nice client but I don’t understand why so many GUI projects have no screenshots in their READMEs. It would be great if I could immediately see if I like it without installing it.

EDIT: thanks for adding the screenshot to your post! It looks awesome!

Nice to see some OC on here! (And it’s also funny :) )

This is pretty awesome and it shows how far .NET has come in recent years.

We have our own memes now??

/u/Ategon do you ever sleep? It’s insane how much you work on making this instance great.

You’re right, they also have to prove their counterarguments, and those who don’t do it are often bad programmers. But I’ve also experienced the same with some actually brilliant people.

That may be part of it but I’ve also observed it among fellow programmers.

You give your opinion about something and your coworker has a smug, arrogant knee-jerk reaction based on some cargo-cult belief without actually thinking about the details of the problem. Then you need to walk them through why what you said is not what they meant step-by-step, and while it may be wrong it is still a valid opinion. If you succeed, they completely change and become cooperative, and you can have an actually useful discussion. But you have to be super patient, like when taming an irritated feral cat that wants to scratch you. If you’re good, the cat becomes cuddly and cute.

This works but I’m extremely tired of having to perform this dance with 60% of the new coders I meet.

Wow… did he not know about the multiplication operator?
