They talk like there’s training needed, that it’s some learned skill. It’s just a means to blame the worker instead of the AI for not boosting productivity.

I can go weeks, dozens of sleep cycles and never see a hint of instability with my Arch daily driver. It only needs a reboot after update and didn’t even ask for it.

My windows computer (work, 2025 lenovo, fresh install) can’t make it an hour without explorer crashing. They also fucked up task manager… The latest new bug is right and left click getting swapped requiring a reboot. I never imagined that was even possible.

Something like

int *a = new int(10)

Int*b = null

While *b !=10 { b = rand(); a=new int(10)}

Return *b

I haven’t coded recently enough in c/c++ to remember syntax but the concept might work eventually if you’re lucky and have enough memory… Might need a time variant seed on the rand()…

You could consider the question of whether there is still something about reddit that you value. Seeking an alternative usually means you’re trying to fulfill a value or need the previous option provided. While that was true when i first landed on Lemmy there’s simply nothing i value about reddit anymore. So i no longer consider it an alternative.

There’s also the alternative motive of valuing/supporting FOSS/federation.

It works you just have to launch outlook 3 times for it to take.

I only push and pull daddy.

Wait shit this is programming so i could probably push and pull mommy too.

Both are great!

Mr neither 🤣

But the product is also redone from the ground up by vibe coding because lessons are impossible to learn and corporate is infallible.

I see.

My worst experience was with spaces in code from an engineering professor who used a non-monospace typefont. Sadist. Though it was comic sans, they were probably just dyslexic. Despite the class focusing on numerical methods, we had to hand write Matlab code on paper using proper syntax. I have no clue why. Never learned much numerical method, nor were we ever allowed to use Matlab except on a few “projects” during the term. I found out about the spaces when i had to debug his example code he gave as solutions(which we were graded against). I saw errors and had to confirm i wasn’t losing my mind. …I wasn’t. Anyways there was a mix of spaces and tabs to align the comic sans.

TLDR: I couldn’t care less. Just don’t code in word, and use a monospace font.

I’ve only ever heard raging between the two, but never why. I’m guessing there were competing languages with different standards, or maybe historic hardware limiting input sets that kicked this debate off or?

√10 I will not be taking questions.

This is what i do. Just ensure version control is enabled. Works perfectly.

I use the site daily. Being able to download FREE CAD models in one click, nominal dimensions for nearly everything, and linked compatible components makes design so much simpler. I can swap a screw out in my assemblies in seconds. Other online hardware catalogs just don’t compare. It’s the perfect first draft resource.

If McMaster ever goes down it’s going to take twice as long to do any design.

Covid was a time when many people had their eyes opened to big tech not having good intentions. I wouldn’t be surprised if covid did make a difference. It was a free option and people often had extra time on their hands to tinker. Lots of people changed jobs after as well. None of those mean there would have been a spike necessarily, but may contribute to an increase in adoption rate.

Long term maintenance. Meaning not a simple bug fix but providing support on demand and possibly prioritizing requests by the contract grantor for an extended period.
