They like to say that but ask them how to pronounce herb or tortilla.

It's bad at anything useful for programming too.

Used to be, gm rule 1 was "everyone should be having fun"

I, and it's been awhile, have changed my personal rule 1 to "every player has autonomy"

Nobody came to watch your one person play, it's a group storytelling game, if it's not collaborative you're doing it wrong.

Welcome to late stage capitalism where the game's made up and the points don't matter.

Privatize the profits and socialize the losses.

I've tried to use "AI" to help me with minor programming tasks, or to start basic projects, it's really bad. As in, it takes me more effort to fix the garbage it outputs than it would have to write it from scratch. In addition to that, it writes things badly in non-obvious ways. Junior engineers make similar mistakes to each other, because they're working logically. "AI" makes weird mistakes because it's not working in the same way a human mind does.

If someone doesn't know what a fork and a light socket are and can't otherwise deduce what they are based on context, maybe it makes sense to stick a fork in a light socket.

Once.

Haha! Jokes on you! It was mostly gnu makefile calls to ruby scripts!!!! You've just broken the build a million different ways!

Last time somebody did this to me there were a lot of sit downs about how to properly chop up large scale code changes and why we don't sit on our own branch for two months.

"How long will this take to get in?"

"Well, two weeks for me to initially review it, a week for you to address all the changes, then another week or so for me to re-review it... Then of course we have to merge in all the changes that have been happening in primary..."

Short answer: No, this guy is all the way up his own rear end.

Longer answer:

Author: "C is not 'close to hardware'"

Also Author: "Successful one to one struct comparisons may require padding, which isn't automatically applied!!!!!"

Like if you have an entire PhD on this stuff and you don't understand how and why you need to pad, when you need to do it, and how to calculate the proper amount of padding, maybe somebody should've stopped you before you showed your whole ass on the Internet like that.

(Padding is applied to align chunks of data more closely to the size of memory writes possible in a given architecture, it is extremely system dependent and you use it in very specific circumstances that you, a beginner, do not need to understand right now other than to say that if the senior says thou shalt not fuck with my struct you better not)

In Boolean algebraic notation A+B+C literally means A OR B OR C.

I'm aware this isn't a useful comment with regard to your original point, I just thought the coincidence was too funny to not point out.

When Boeing closes a door, it opens a window.

Based on your looks I expected you to be smarter.

Call me grape cause I'm jelly. That's a really nice setup.

I'm generally against accelerationism, but this is an example I can get behind.

Dessert and a show!

I'm from there, here's a cool fact that you Non-Free people won't get: "lead tastes kinda sweet" so jokes on you, our water is better tasting than yours.

Modern nuclear technology is much safer than older stuff, additionally when the older plants are well maintained they are much safer than they're made out to be.

This is one of those cases where pop culture doesn't match reality and as a result people who are half informed do more damage to their cause by rejecting the good in pursuit of the great.

Til cromulent, thank you.

To save the Google: adjective with a humorous connotation meaning acceptable or adequate.

It's 0.2 layer height, I wanna say it was 3 layers, but it could have been 4. The green I'm using is opaque at even one layer with these settings though

Good ones don't.

Correction: they make money
