This is the same person who bombed users with infinite loops and other bullshit in two libraries people depended on. My heart bleeds lumpy custard for his plight. This is just a small karmic return, buddy. Perhaps you should get off your hi

yeah, connectbot (previously vxconnectbot, or perhaps the former is a fork? not sure...) has been my android ssh goto for years. i would have commented on bsky but i'm not going to sign up just for that :/ i don't just use co

Typical - adding ai slopware to simple apps that have "just worked" for many years. I really wish the "ai" hype-train would derail and explode in a ball of fire.

For anyone who is interested, I wrote an interactive promises tutorial a very long time ago: https://github.com/fluffynuts/js-promises-tutorial It takes you through promises from jQuery, Q, native and a custom implemen

Also, to be fair, he's probably afraid of the ruskies because america is falling in a hole and there's defo heaps of nuclear ordinance lying about in russia.

Trump is, and always has been, Putin's little bitch. He's just being more and more open about it.

typical click-baity title obscures the reality: sure a nazi flag could be on display, but the stipulation is clear: temporary, for educational purposes, because it was part of a world-impacting time in history perhaps they could apply the s

From reading the article, whilst I don't dispute that you may have valid points, I don't think they apply here: 1. She lost weight, and her husband is into chubby girls - he literally misses her fat "draping over" him. H

Pretty cool, but a pity I can't just search for a game by name - I have to know the publisher or devs or some other bit of info about it. A regular old "filter as you type" would be useful.

Corporate DEI is virtue signaling, evident by how many large companies are backpedalling with haste now that it's no longer being pushed on them by government policies. DEI which emphasizes traits people are born with (race, gender, et

Sure, why not? Code is code. Given the full instruction set, and trained on outputs from known code, it could produce the same buggy slop it usually does, but now, even harder to debug! Yay!

Perhaps the problem is that your hour or two writing is just a few minutes for me. If you're talking about generating and verifying code in 2 minutes, I highly doubt that you're talking about more than 30 lines of code. The genera

Yet another plug at using inaccurate ai slop instead of well-engineered code. I've been railing against this since the get-go at my company. Initial responses were all scoffs, and I was basically out-grouped for my vocalisations on the

Red Hat opining about what is and isn't open is absolutely hilarious. Sorry, my dudes, you launched that ship in the wrong direction ages ago.

no 1. DEI is being exposed as the fallacy it is; hiring on merit is covertly taking over 2. "Immigrants are taking my job" is a bullshit excuse. Get good, son. 3. This is the most hilarious take: "ai" llms will take my

1. It's ok if deployment is quick and no customers are affected, but if you're running something like a whitelabel fast food app platform with a deployment cycle that takes a minute, that's enough time to get irate customers

What's that? An llm trained on certain data can't find novel solutions outside of that data? Almost as if they can't think, right? Are we at the bubble yet? Can people stop waxing lyrical about these yet?

Having had two pet rats and observing them gnaw through practically anything that isn't steel - I'm not surprised in the least. They're smart, resourceful, stubborn and persistent. Gotta admire them, honestly.

You need the effects of frequent dopamine hits from seeing your code actually do things that you want it to do. This isn't a bad thing - nor is it specific to people with ADHD or on the high-functioning autistic spectrum (like myself)
