I'll never forget attending CS courses with a guy who got violently angry at having to write code. I assume he's either thrilled with Copilot or in prison for attacking somebody over its failure to reliably write all of his code for him.

not many people in the world who understand this code.

Kinda sounds like maybe he writes some freaky garbo C that nobody can figure out 😅

There's so much in place to keep people from getting help but paying people to shoot us and not even bother to make up their own lies about it, no problem!

What the fuck.

Also, not sure how this is programming related 🤷

Woo, maybe Shrine Wars will be coming out soonish!

... Har har! 'Used to love that game 😅

Kinda annoying that "top" always means "most popular" for these things :-\ I guess I don't really have a specific idea of what other meaning would be best but it still seems kinda ridiculous to rank programming languages by popularity. I guess it's an engineer-brained thing to think of them as having different uses and purposes rather than being interchangeable business tools 🤮 but to me it's kinda like looking at spoken languages by popularity but you still wanna go on vacation or go live somewhere with an unpopular native language. Like, oh look, Spanish is popular so I'ma learn that but also never go anywhere I'd expect people to speak it, so I'll be in Finland or something (in my dreams, where I actually can visit places v.v ) all "Habla español? Perkele!" over and over until they throw me out 😅

Edit: Just thought to check, a cursory glance suggests "español" doesn't get capitalized in Spanish, which I don't actually know 😅 My Finnish is much better, as I know most of the common curses and a few of the words that go between them.

This thread has successfully convinced me that this community is not of people who have ADHD or for supporting same, but of people who hate anyone who does whether that's self-hate from internalized abusive BS or just plain ableism.

Am interested in finding one that's isn't awful, if there's one hidden away somewhere. Will be blocking this pit.

From a critter in a similar spot (as opposed to some arrogant, condescending prick, which is apparently the norm in this thread), good luck having life! If you figure out a neat secret trick that makes it good, lemme know :P

Won't blame you if you don't, though. Some of us just can't, and no amount of "just get over it" is ever gonna "fix" us so we act like others want us to regardless of what that does to us.

Sounds super cool :o ... Am still kinda salty about M$ blocking my account and holding my copy of Minecraft (that I paid Mojang for, well before it was Microsoft's!) hostage because they want my phone number, though. 😠

... Also I kinda wanna know if it's got the moddage I love about Minecraft, but am afraid to ask because I'm stuck on a laptop that can't really run much without getting all melty 😅

Somehow I hadn't noticed this place was transphobic. Whoopsy!

Corwin, stop yapping about Emacs! 😅

Also, hi ö/ :3

Also, yay cats :3

That's horrible and horrifying and I'm never gonna sleep again and also I hate you :(

Woah, I remember that thing :o Didn't think anyone else would.

... Oh shit, that's still a thing :O Whew.

We'd best not even ask about the crab 🙀

And then the ads!

Apparently we pay to see ads anyway these days. :|

so-called AI

knows its own limits

frustration noises It knows nothing! It's not intelligent. It doesn't understand anything. Attempts to keep those things acting within expected/desired lines fail constantly, and not always due to malice. This project's concept reeks of laziness and trend-following. Instead of a futile effort to make a text generator reliably produce either an error or correct code, they should perhaps put that effort into writing a transpiler built on knowable, understandable rules. ... Oh, and just hire a damn Rust dev. They're climbing up the walls looking to Rust-ify everything, just let them do it.

My PC currently lives in an attic far from the only place they were permitted to call (or think of as) "home," after being thrown out (twice) by "family" who swore (more than twice) they'd never do that. Hell, the parents called the copstown guard to oust said PC. Campaign's totally off the rails and the DM I was told was going to fix everything does not appear to be present at all. I'd say... yours should protect themself first but, if they really want to, carefully consider the full context without falling prey to manipulation again.

...Also I lied, it's me. More of the story's in my post history, desperately crying out for rescue. Someone even PM'd one of my hosts some lies trying to get me left on the streets of Minneapolis 🙃 The emotional damage really does help: my mental health needs being neglected left me resistant or immune to some attempts at manipulation. Obviously it's not a good situation to be in but oh well I guess, right? Better to leave them oscillating between vicious and totally the best, sweetest, most caring parents anywhere and there'll be problems if I don't believe it somewhere I don't have to deal with it. I occasionally get an email, even after all' the BS. Why the hell (or Abyss, or Abaddon, whichever) I'd want to talk to them for anything but getting the useful things I left behind, I can't imagine.

grumbles noisily for a while, then wanders off having forgotten what, if anything, else it had wanted to say

Oh, also thanks for posting this 😅 'Think I maybe forgot to mention that :-\

I think licensing may have something to do with it. A proprietary licence will typically prohibit decompilation so if you do it, you're in violation of the licence. Whether that's enforceable... Idunno. Often just writing a rule down will make people averse to testing it. Software under a non-proprietary licence probably comes with the source code to begin with, so there's no need. This leaves a relatively small useful area for this technique, where people either don't mind being in potential legal trouble (or just losing their licence to use a particular piece of software) or are interested in a specific few pieces of software that don't offer source but allow sortof digging it out of the binary directly.

having the time and inclination to install Arch correlates with being in a bad place in your life right now.

True for me. I'm using Arch because I don't have a system that can run Gentoo ;P

Actually I've oscillated between the two for many years. Every few years I switch to the other one and enjoy it for a few. ... Only, now I'm stuck on a laptop that would melt if I tried to put Gentoo on it v.v I hope some day I will have a real computer again v.v Among other things 😅 😞

[Joke] See, Reddit's doing a nice thing here! They're making sure nobody ends up toxifying their own dataset by using Reddit's garbage heap of bot posts!
