@fcktheworld587 @nf3xn @attilasedon@fosstodon.org @nixCraft the human mind is basically a lumbering statistical engine for pattern matching.

The main advantages over ChatGPT that we have are just more neurons and adaptation to more tasks than guessing words.

Typescript is doing a better job of teaching me advanced use of types than almost 30 years of knowing java

@thor is there still a gap in France? I thought they ruined things for all classes already and now are demonstrating simply because it's the French, their knee-jerk reaction to anything is burning cars while making monkey noises.

TIL the .zip format is ambiguos enough that different parsers can see different files

Many programming arguments boil down to "my approach done correctly is better than the opposing approach done incorrectly."

the dirtiest secret you find when reverse engineering games is how many implementations of String they have.

This one is at least 3, plus it uses some stl so there's probably an std::string somewhere

@Shaos @a1ba ...unless you've made a case-sensitive volume in which case some paths are case-sensitive and some aren't 🙃

huh, apparently, the first person to get a PhD in computer science was a nun named Mary Keller. she was first woman admitted to Dartmouth College and was part of the team that invented the BASIC programming language. she later got masters degrees in in mathematics and physics.

@kaia @koakuma woah that's a fucking stupid idea, are they trying to annoy drivers out of their cars or what?

@expertmanofficial@mstdn.social yeah, I don't know him much and I don't need to because he's just a dev of the soapbox software. He's not some kind of mega admin for all instances that use it nor a guru for all people on those instances somehow. When it comes to personal views I've seen more soapbox users making fun of him than agreeing. I'm sorry for your bad experiences, but the image you're painting is simply not true in the broad scope of all soapbox instances, not to mention all pleroma instances.

@expertmanofficial@mstdn.social @tkk13909 I follow a bunch of people using Pleroma and Soapbox. Guess what, the choice of server software is mostly unrelated to the type of person and the whole "muh pleroma/soapbox community bad" is a myth I only see coming from prejudiced mastodon users.

ja wiem że strony w internecie poważny biznes, ale tego typu reakcja na krytykę to domena raczej dzieci w podstawówce niż autorytetów od prywatności xD Na razie jedyne co dokonałeś w kwestii edukowania z zakresu to uświadomiłeś paru ludziom którzy tego jeszcze nie wiedzieli że Google Analytics ma się do prywatności jak pięść do nosa, a i to poprzez przypadkowe baitowanie konkurencji żeby zaczęła ci to wyjaśniać xD

@thor ah yes, the classic. Good luck with going through with them eventually!

@thor @lore @cat maybe there's some traces in the DB? Your instance has to emit those events after all, right?

@thor you're obviously still interested in IT, maybe try a different path? I know it's easy for me to say, but webdev is basically hell and there's a lot of avenues in IT that are much more interesting and hair-, heart- and soul-friendly. (Pretty much all of them xD)

I'm currently developing an internal tool. One platform, one major use case, clients are fellow employees. It's so much nicer than dealing with the lovecraftian horror that is the state of Internet websites and browsers in the 2020s that I had to work with previously and that nearly drove me to hate software dev which was my passion since childhood. And that's just scratching the surface with something I personally find decent to work with, a friend of mine programs robots for a living, which seems closer to your interests and is also cool as fuck.
