Be that as it may (it isn’t), this is was a website of actual for-real nazis who explicitly describe themselves as nazis.
I think it’s fair to say that AI yields a modest productivity boost in many cases when used appropriately
I think this is a mistake. The example in this post is some empirical evidence for that.
It’s not clear that we can know in advance whether it’s appropriate for any given usecase; rather it seems more likely that we are just pigeons pecking at the disconnected button and receiving random intermittent reinforcement.
Ok, so what would the equivalent be?
The implication is that the person in the meme is
A position is the arrangement of all the pieces on the board.
Well sure, I guess you’re right, it’s definitely a bit subjective and some people have an easier time with some languages and ways of thinking than others for sure. And I didn’t really mean to say that it was totally super easy, but… no kind of programming is really super easy. It is quite different and that in itself has a learning curve.
My recommendation is for sure anecdotal, but I think the point about it seeming more difficult than it really is because people often use it for difficult stuff is actually true.
People really overstate it, it’s not that hard. It has a reputation of being difficult because people use it for difficult, low-level tasks, OS stuff, parsers, cryptography, highly optimised serialisation, but those things would be hard in any language. For a newcomer it’s, IMO, way easier than say C++, because it doesn’t have a mindbogglingly huge std lib with decades of changing best practices to try to figure out. To do simpler things in it is really pretty straightforward, especially if you’re already comfortable with a robust type system.
I think it’s just what you’re used to. Imo it really matters that it’s keywords and not operator symbols - it’s meant to read closer to natural language. I prefer the c version when it’s ? and :, but I like them this way round when it’s if and else.
Who knows, and furthermore, who cares?
Now we’re still pasting code from stack overflow we don’t understand, we’re just getting it from an LLM
24-hour time is equally uncommon in Australia and New Zealand, but it looks like it could be one of them based on the currency conversion, could also be Singapore though, which has Dollars very close in value to those
“The fediverse” doesn’t ban anyone for anything, it’s not a monolith. Anyone can start their own server if they differ from existing ones. And if an instance is defederated by everyone too…
absurd take, literally everyone cares about standards of living, it is almost tautological
I was worried about that with Arch, and yes the setup takes longer, but other than that for me it’s just been “run ‘pacman -Syu’ every few weeks” and otherwise forget, been running like that for a few years. So I’d still say it’s set and forget tbh, just that the set part is a bit more work.
Camelcase in python, ew, a fundamentalist would do that
Well yea… If you write "return " that is actually wrong, as opposed to just not having gotten around to filling it in yet
That assumes that Reddit actually wants to ban bots. But as long as they’re not too obvious, the bots are valuable to them, since they inflate the user count.
