I mean I did say I hate ipv6…

But seriously, I think it has more to do with it’s slightly different, easier for ISPs to just add another NAT layer or whatever instead of learn the minor differences.

God I fucking wish. I hate ipv6 but I hate this split world even more. Nothing but headaches.

Not who you’re asking, but weighing in anyways. I use VSCodium for C# and Python development on Linux. Only extensions I needed was ms-python.python, ms-python.debugpy, and I use ms-python.vscode-python-envs

For c# it’s dotrush only.

All works. Step through debugging all works, no issues.

Favourite? Probably Kavita.

I’m looking to sell Forgejo next myself

Most of the unmaintainable code I’ve seen is because businesses don’t appreciate the need to occasionally refactor/rewrite or do anything to maintain code. They only appreciate piling more on. They’d do away with bug fixing too if they could.

Most developers I’ve seen in the field don’t care about any of that. They care if the OS is stable and they can run their programs.

I’m not saying they shouldn’t care more, they absolutely should, but they don’t

It’s adapted from something my grandma used to say. You’re fully welcome to it

Oh no, Trump and Friends have been some of the most consistent people I have ever seen. Consistently awful and against all normal people maybe, but consistent

I mean, using an LLM inherently asks you to not think and the kind of person to use them, intentionally or not, is obviously not the smartest cookie in the toolbox

Even projects on other repo systems have shut down. Too many AI submissions for them. LLMs are integrated so deeply into certain IDEs that some developers I’ve seen literally did not know they were using them (no, they couldn’t tell me why they thought writing a prompt in the IDE wasn’t hitting an LLM).

It’s a systemic issue that GitHub exacerbates but it’s by no means limited to it.

It’s hard to see behind the copper but I’m pretty sure that is “Tape in”, an input, while the headphones next to it would be an output

I would have said Windows notepad but they screwed the pooch on that one and changed it.

You’re putting way too much thought into analyzing AI slop

I haven’t read the blog yet but this gets me all the time. I always prefer when managers were former software developers themselves so they understand this innately.

I can tell you if two strings match in one line of code. If you want any leeway though in the strings matching (say we accept heaven and haeven) we’ve just jumped to a whole separate class with at least three functions and minimum N*M longer compute time plus added complexity in feedback to user (underlining the input or whatever if it’s wrong). But to a regular manager it’s still just “check if two strings match”.

Except MS seems to be acknowledging they caused it https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/19764

What’s that word Satya Nadella wanted spread far and wide? Oh right, “Microslop”

Maybe if they were willing to even touch the user manual or ask a question instead of just going “it’s broke” we wouldn’t blame them.

Only when it’s an ID-10T error being thrown.

This was 15 years ago and I was only on that team for a year so some details are fuzzy. I just remember the odd length filename distinctly. We never found a pattern, not that we looked super hard. We did check the usual suspects like Base64 encoding and big vs little endian and such but nothing lined up. The file would just be garbled nonsense. No whitespace and every character under the sun in a massive block.

I joined a team and was assigned a bug that had been bugging them for two years. Randomly files they saved would be corrupted.

Eventually isolated it to the third party library they used to serialize the data. For some reason this library corrupted file names that were an odd length. So “cat” would get corrupted while “cats” would save and load just fine. It was a black box library we didn’t control so was told to just program a workaround to check filename length and append a character if it was odd and move on.

I still want to know what that library was doing.
