One has to wonder if this is how the next generation of kids are going to write after being raised exclusively on AI generated content?

Isn't that the way if works, everybody throws their ideas against the wall and sees what sticks? I haven't really seen anyone recommend using xml in a long while... And isn't this a 'remote' tool protocol? I mean, I

Like I said, you do you. All I really have an issue with is the claim you get compensated for the time and energy you, essentially, donate to the company. If that's what you want to do with your time then by all means... It just seems

Back in the day, before I had our robot overlords to write code for me, I would just use C++ as a fancy C with classes and a larger standard library. Or Boost as they have some fun and exciting things to play with. Now, the robots do a good

In the couple years I've owned my (now) 10 year old wee-Fiat I think I've opened the hood once, when I first bought it, just to confirm the engine was actually there. Other than that, what engine? Probably should pop it open (heh,

Claude will also tend to go for the "test-passing" development style where it gets super fixated on making the tests pass with no regards to how the features will work with whatever is intended to be built later. I had to throw aw

No, no... I know better than putting too much work into something before poking the core devs and seeing if it's something they'd be interested in. If they don't want code written by a robot then what do I care? Mostly I want

Yeah, I learned my lesson on this... I used to contribute to a FLOSS project years ago and decided to use Claude to do some work on their codebase recently where they basically told me to go away with these daffy robots or, at the very leas

I saw another example where they had 'mm' as well so I'm guessing that's all part of the type system as postfix attributes? Poked around in the docs a bit but didn't see a grammar so, dunno... I can only guess it do

The issue isn't that they were issuing CDLs to people who didn't qualify but that their work visa and license were supposed to expire around the same time so they couldn't overstay their visa and keep their job. Or, I'm

It sounds to me that Pass 1 is basically an assembly-to-assembly compiler which becomes the target of all the other passes and optimizations.

Oh, it's worse than that. The companies who moved production overseas are the ones who taught them the advanced manufacturing technologies necessary to make the now offshorn products (looking at you, Apple). While being able to walk in

It's funny, I've been working on a CPS (continuation passing style) graph optimizer loosly based on Cliff Click's thesis and when I show it to the robots they're like "yeah, that's academic fluffery, it'll

But, you know, I've never really heard of the police (local, state or federal) executing a general warrant against an entire apartment complex. How do you even get a judge to sign off on that? --edit-- Oh, flagged, guess we don't

Which kind of begs the question: what it the correct way to use exceptions? Like, python says to throw an exception when an iterator reaches the end so if my custom C iterator does that is it wrong? I do kind of want to be able to do the wh

From what I understand the three plate method is when you are going from 0 to flat as the errors are averaged out. Doing the "covered with dye and rubbed together to find the high points, which are then scraped off" thing is only

From my research into the subject the easiest way to implement it would be a 'musttail' macro which falls back to a trampoline for compilers which don't support it. The problem then becomes having the function call overhead (

Probably referring to it's tendency to over-complicate things to the point you have to step in and be like "WTF are you even talking about... Wouldn't it be a lot simpler to just use the original, well planned out design?&quo
