I Cast Fist

Blaming the user. Always

^{I’m the user}

OP is not the brightest

Oh, windows has definitely seen better days in the past. It’s not irony either, it’s just a matter of looking at the amount of “features” nobody asked for that they push onto users anyway. Liked the XP-7 start menu? Too bad, now you’re stuck with whatever. That simple calculator program? Get a load of this UWP style calculator instead! Don’t want auto anti-aliasing with MSPaint’s brush? Fuck you, it’s there and you won’t disable it. Liked Solitaire and Freecell ad-free? HAHA GET REKT

Question, how would you post to a community whose name is repeated across different lemmy instances? !community@host?

ComputersOnStrike could work, I’d say

Neither of them are very sharp

You know what, if I have a boy one day, I’ll name him Pascal. Hopefully, he won’t develop a lisp

Imagine a cabal of COBOL programmers called Cobol or Co Ball

So long as you’re willing to skip the first 8 minutes and play the next 20 seconds at 0.25 speed, where he very quickly glances over the problem, then goes on for another 10 minutes to talk about something unrelated in minute detail

Google’s trying to find the guy responsible for all this

So, you’re telling me google search has gotten so bad it can’t even find info on its own workers?

To be fair, the actual article links to the paper and the real punch is that the research does not point to any of the many AI blunders made by google itself

Also, my personal highlight from the article

If you read the paper, you can’t help but conclude that the “misuse” of generative AI often sounds a lot like the tech is working as intended. People are using generative AI to make lots of fake content because it’s really good at doing that task, and consequently flooding the internet with AI slop.

My bet is most will go either with bluesky or threads, because “everyone is (moving) there”

Title mentions speaking italian

Not a single hand gesture anywhere

I’ve been duped

I spend more time researching and weighing options than actually programming.

It’s called Analysis Paralysis caused by Overchoice. Basically, the more similar options there are, the harder it is to pick.

Some let you shoot with a shotgun, some with an assault rifle, some with an elephant gun. It’s so fun to choose!

JSON Sphere

Finally, something to process “databases” that ditched excel for json!

I wonder if the first attempt was simply dragging that Mac System Software to the trash. Not “the computer icon”, but it’s possible the anecdote was/is slightly misremembered by John

I was about to say how Eclipse saved my ass once in final project in college, then I remembered it was Netbeans that saved me. It was a feature that create an ugly looking but fully functional system by connecting to a relational database - right now, I really wish I could remember the name of it, or the step by step. That was back in 2012.

The first victim of that serial killer was the knife wielding photographer, trembling in a vain attempt to scare the killer away.

Reminds me of a dude that wrote the equivalent of this in Visualg (a brazilian pseudocode language and program, meant solely for teaching programming)

if
  if
    if
      if
        if (x < 10) then
          print(x)
        else
      else
    else
  else
else

That the thing ran and didn’t complain about the amount of loose/needless if’s checking fuck all baffles my mind to this day.
