Lots of simpler editors gained tab completion support over the last few years, thanks to the LSP protocol. I have it in Kate, for example.

The devs keep updating it with cool stuff. In the next update, there’s gonna be an orb, which you can hold in place of a shield and which auto-flashbangs your enemies when you get hit.
There’s also gonna be an orb which sets off explosions around you when you kill an enemy without attacking them…? Have not worked that one out yet, but it sounds rad as hell.

On the Linux side of things, I use KDE’s “Activities”, which are basically OS-level workspaces on steroids.
I set a differently colored wallpaper for each Activity and I have a translucent panel to make this wallpaper color visible even when windows are covering the screen and KDE can also set the application theme to use the wallpaper color as the highlight color.

So, long story short, I can group whole sets of applications windows into different colors, which is pretty cool. Although I can certainly also see the merit of using colors at a more detailed level.

Yeah, always found that weird as a junior. I basically never touched the main-function, because well, it set up some fundamentals and then called some other function or created some objects and then I was tweaking things somewhere below that.

Now that I’m a senior and taking over the lead of projects, I’m the person that touches the main-function and others generally do not. 🥴

It was implemented as part of the X11 standard, so the concrete program would’ve been X.org…

I believe, that needs to be turned off in KDE.

I’m not sure, if this actually turns of the copying or if it just turns off the pasting, but you could try turning off this setting:

Well, in case you need it in the future:

They may have entered the profession thinking they wouldn’t have to talk to people, but I just want to point out that this is not at all what the profession actually looks like. You have to constantly talk to people, to work out the requirements that the customer actually needs and exchange knowledge with your team mates. If someone is not a team player, that is the absolute quickest way to get thrown out.

Yeah, I met maybe 2½ in my lifetime.

Ah, in that case, I got poe’s-lawed. There’s just teenagers out there, who have not yet formed such a taste and assume others have not either, so may genuinely assume they’re just supposed to be the most physically beautiful and non-weird to rake in a boy-/girl-/enbyfriend. Well, and some of those teenagers even make it into adulthood without taste…

I blame romance movies and novels and such. It’s such utter bullshit, how the stereotypical storyline is that she rejects him at first and then he’s just really desperate persistent and then she eventually softens up and they’re married ever after.

Some women like that little dance of rejecting and the guy not giving up, but even then only if they think you’re cute beforehand.
But most women will just find that creepy and off-putting. They want to have a partner they actually find attractive themselves, not just any partner who finds them attractive enough to persist through humiliation.

Human beings can have tastes in their partners that go beyond a one-dimensional weird vs. attractive…

I think, I died from a cholesterol overdose just reading that comment, so that’s great.

Yeah, although with a proper store, you can at least still hope that they’ll return in the future or tell others about your store…

With that thick of a pillow, you’re gonna get neck pain for sure, so I hope they don’t have plans for tomorrow or any following days either…

There’s these “ontological arguments”, which are basically folks trying to prove the existence of a god by reasoning with pure logic, so without relying on evidence. And they all sound like that. 🫠

One of the classics goes roughly like this:

1. There is good and bad. (Which is one hell of an axiom.)
2. A creature can exist which unifies all good properties. (Yet another hell of an axiom.)
3. Because this creature has all these good properties, it would be even gooder, if it did exist.
4. Since this creature unifies all good properties and its existence is itself a good property, it therefore must exist.

These arguments are also always funny, because the same logic can be used to “prove” all kinds of things. For example, a perfect island can exist, therefore it must exist. 🙃
As far as I can tell, the arguments don’t actually get better over time either, but rather just more convoluted, to make it less obvious how silly they are…

Hmm, as someone with 0 years of cat experience, I interpreted that arm movement as her just stretching, because she enjoys the pets…

Yeah, my current software project at work was basically half a year of feature development and since then, we’ve purely tried to get it into the real world, which meant evaluating use-cases to see where it falls flat and what needs stabilizing, as well as figuring out people’s needs and how our software can assist with that, then setting up a demo and hoping they find money somewhere…

Where I typically notice it, is that the text starts repeating a few handful of points.

The prompt will have been to write a story on those points, and because it doesn’t have much else to go off of, it will just shoehorn those exact points again and again.

I expect this to always be a telltale sign, because if your point can be made in the length of the prompt, there’s a rather limited amount of noise it can add to that before it would have to go off-script.

My problem was that “Albert Heijn” is a dude’s name. It does not exactly scream “we’re talking about a real physical building”.

For all I knew, the impossible problem we’re solving could’ve been on a mathematical plane, named after mathematician Albert Heijn. “Sweeping” just as well can be used in an abstract sense.

Obviously, I did think of physically sweeping a physical floor first and foremost, but especially with the rest of the blog post being so entirely abstract, I had doubts on that for far too long, which did not make it easier to understand.
