I don’t have experience with Jujutsu, but I always have the same problem with these alternative frontends, which is that I’d still want to be proficient with the original. If you need to look up how to fix something or you want to help others in your team or you want to script something, then the language to speak is simply the Git CLI.

And I don’t feel like I even use the Git CLI enough where a different tool could be so much better that it’s worth learning both.
Obviously, your priorities may differ, but yeah, that’s just always the reason for me why I prefer the Git CLI, even if it were objectively more difficult to use.

Yeah, those models are referred to as “discriminative AI”. Basically, if you heard about “AI” from around 2018 until 2022, that’s what was meant.

Yeah, there were also several stories where the AI just detected that all the pictures of the illness had e.g. a ruler in them, whereas the control pictures did not. It’s easy to produce impressive results when your methodology sucks. And unfortunately, those results will get reported on before peer reviews are in and before others have attempted to reproduce the results.

On a definitely related note, I’ve recently been thinking it’s wild how we build foot paths out of rocks and then put on rubber socks for actually walking on them.

In other words, asphalt is a scam by Big Foot to sell more shoes.

I imagine, they can still get inflamed gums or similar, if something gets stuck in there…

I believe, you have to take turns pushing down individual teeth. By random chance, it will close the mouth when you do that. So, you lose when you get bitten.

I’m always amazed how badly companies understand the concept of human interaction. Showing appreciation requires putting in some amount of effort. If you just type some words into a box and an image comes out, that’s not anything. Might as well use the first clipart that comes up in image search…

I mean, for what it’s worth, I’m a seasoned dev and just did a run where I tried to answer everything as it makes sense to me (which is “throws an error” or “invalid date” for all of them) and I also got a score of 4/28.

…and two of those points were given to me, because the quiz interpreted my answer differently than I meant it.

In other words, this quiz exists to highlight that JavaScript’s Date functions make no sense.

I feel like it’s just capitalism doing a capitalism. People are self-conscious about their skin, so you can sell them all kinds of crap.
Even a basic washcloth does a decent job with exfoliating, if you use it regularly. Rub your face dry with a scruffy towel, if you need more than that.

But of course, there’s hardly any money to be made with reasonably priced products, so you won’t see TV ads for them.

A few years ago, all the languages I would use started to have automatic unused variable warnings built-in. And yeah, by now when I hear of people that don’t have that, it’s very much a feeling of “Man, you live like this?”.

In German, we also call the Netherlands “the low countries” (“die Niederlande”). 🙃

Apparently, “deutsch” originated from Medieval Latin “theodiscus”, which meant “belonging to the own people”.

Not if you never get your application into production…

I wish this was as much of a joke as I’m pretending. It’s so common for software projects to get cancelled that lots of tooling differences are just in terms of how long they let you not deal with long-term problems and how violently they do then explode into your face.

For most of the development lifecycle of a GCed project, you’re gonna ignore memory usage. And if you’re lucky, it can be ‘solved’ by just plonking down a thiccer piece of hardware…

Yeah, it’s easy to underestimate how big of a leap it is from a toy application to real-world usability. Not just in terms of security, but also:

• useful error messages
• logging / monitoring
• configuration
• building a distribution
• deploying in a reproducible way
• documentation
• integration with existing infrastructure
• data migration strategies
• etc.

This adds a lot of complexity, so you’ll need to learn additional complexity to be able to deal with it at all:

• modularization
• version control systems
• software specifications (via unit/integration tests)
• team communication
• helper tooling, like package managers, linters etc.

Learning about all this stuff takes years, especially if no one in your surroundings has much experience with any of it either. Professors don’t have the time to gain or retain this experience, since they already have a different full-time job.

My advice would be to get students to do internships or to take a job as a working student in a company/organization. Sometimes, these can be shitty for the students, but they can often provide significantly more real-world context than college ever could.

It’s a Google Docs link…

I mean, he did fuck up a good chunk of everything…

Ah, interesting. I went from garbage-collected languages where thinking about ownership might be useful for keeping complexity low and occasionally comes up when you manage lists of objects, but ultimately isn’t needed, to Rust where well-defined ownership is enforced by the language.

So, I wasn’t aware that ownership is even as concrete of a thing in other languages…

Fun fact, it’s called “garlic” because it’s basically a gar-leek.
