what/where did you move to?

by em-bee 3mo ago
wait, how did the scala team end up with only 2 years of professional programming experience? did the original developers all leave?

what i expect to change with LLMs is the benefit you get from automated testing. which is really what LLMs need. tools that tell you something is wrong may not speed up a human developer, but they will allow LLMs to make corrections by itse

breaks are not work time. you are entitled to breaks, but unless they are quick bathroom breaks they don't count as work, and in places where you have to stamp in to start work you actually have to stamp out for each break. at least th

is it really an alternative? i'd rather do a 4 hour night shift without breaks than working 8 hours like this in the heat. what am i supposed to do with a 45 minute break? if i am a bricklayer or example, i'd still be stuck on a b

an attack is not personal because it encompasses the whole person, but because it targets an aspect of that person. for an attack to be not personal it would have to target a category of people. "software developers are stinky managers

it was posted on may 28th. that's a 6 weeks warning. still not ideal, but hopefully they made sure that users got notified directly too. btw "garnix" means "nothing" in german. translating the article to german make

just curious, can you point to more details to what happened with scala3?
221.
by em-bee 3mo ago
i read that too, but i am highly skeptical. i wish the author would investigate that claim and provide some actual examples substantiating it.

my understanding is that the [python] community has not yet aligned on typing nearly as well as the TS community has this is undoubtedly true.
223.
by em-bee 3mo ago
what did you move to, and why?
224.
by em-bee 3mo ago
python has optional types too now. if you could get the LLM to produce typed python would it be any worse than typescript?
225.
by em-bee 3mo ago
exactly, i find the article a wierd take. i would have thougt that being able to catch errors at compile time is the assurance that the LLM generated code is actually decent. so does this mean that the LLM writes code that is so good that t

in larger/popular projects the reputation tends to eventually become public as we can see in this thread. for smaller projects read the discussions and responses to bug reports.

the point is that such language attracts people who have a high tolerance for such language. not all of them are going to be assholes, but tolerating assholes is also bad.

Is calling someone a "stinky manager" a personal attack? yes!

linus torvalds was eventually told that his tone was not acceptable and that he needed to learn to tone it down. linux grew despite linus tone, not because of it.
231.
by em-bee 3mo ago
you are right, to many people feel far to comfortable writing like this. but my reaction is to double down and be more active to counter this kind of expression and make it clear that this is not welcome. it worked with linus torvalds.

if you use my code you owe me to honor my license, unless that licenses explicitly frees you from that obligation.
233.
by em-bee 3mo ago
you cannot even "shameless copy" from something that is asking the world to copy from it yes you can if you do not honor the license that the original was released under. that's why we use FOSS licenses in the first place

giving away thousands of hours of work does not entitle you to be abusive to your users and contributors. i am entitled to walk away from your project if i don't like your tone.
235.
by em-bee 3mo ago
you have to if you want to continue to attract users and contributors. if you don't care about that then feel free.

by em-bee 3mo ago
he doesn't owe it, but his writing reflects on him and the project. personal blog or not, the writing shows his personality, and that in turn affects how comfortable i am using a project led by this person. if this was just one of many

i think only if you contrast it with your own assessment. just using LLM to get an opinion is bad. eg: after reading the article i felt this X. LLM says it's Y. then draw conclusions from that. myself i found the article contained a

that's awesome. how would you compare rebol3 with red? are there any syntactical differences? or just whats in the libraries? or the architecture, capabilities? as far as i can tell the main difference seems to be that rebol3 is writte

that's what education needs to do. school should not just be about STEM. it should teach values and virtues. that's even more important than STEM because the latter will follow once the kids learned good values
