I stopped asking in like 2020 for the most part. Everything I asked was getting.akred as a duplicate even though it wasn’t because someone believed an ANSWER on a different question answered my question (they didn’t).

Plus StackOverflow Meta has been a fucking joke for years. They removed a site from HNQ because of a tweet. Why are they listening more to random Twitter users than folks on Meta?

And the whole Monica fiasco still has me upset.

But seriously. Every time I asked a question on StackOverflow I’d spend like 30 minutes wording it correctly and looking for duplicates. I’d find things that were sort of duplicates and explain preemptively why they aren’t. And every fucking time some doofus marks it as a duplicate. I just can’t take it. Like it literally makes me so angry even thinking about it. They had a problem with their humans LONG before AI came around. If they’d fixed that problem they could’ve really positioned themselves nicely when AI happened as a boutique place for humans answering humans. But no, their culture cultivates assholes who believe they’re following rules to the letter.

They had a pretty long migration period, sorry you missed it. I got bamboozled into buying Bedrock in addition to Java. They had a promotion to give it for free but I migrated after that. Soon after I bought it they combined the two into one purchase so if anyone had either they now have both.

If you’re admitting it was hyperbole why are you being so condescending?

Not everyone has a computer made in the last ten years. It’s still good advice for folks with old computers. No need to be condescending.

Not everyone has SSDs.

B trees are cool but not obscure necessarily. I didn’t learn about them in college. It sounds like binary tree and it’s similar but it’s different. It’s a data structure to take advantage of the way disk reads work.

Duke, the Java mascot, says “Thanks!”

Edit: this image looks weird on a pure black background lol. Amogus.

Isn’t there a Java based Lemmy compatible thing too? I forgot what it was called but I think there is one.

If they have DB access they already can.

Please use the proper format which is ! community@instance! Like !programming@programming.dev

It is the American way!

I’m confused how this even happens. You switch to dev and then choose to keep working on your ticket, but your previous work isn’t there, so how do you keep progressing? I can see this as an edge case, but it happens to you often enough that a pre commit hook is useful to stop it?

To be clear, I don’t care what you do, if it works, it works, I just am having a difficult time understanding how this particular scenario happened enough that a pre commit hook was the best way to solve it.

git switch -c blah
git push -u origin blah
git switch main
git reset --hard origin/main

Actually rebasing before pushing is the best time to do so, so a pre-push hook seems great. You can also have your branch displayed in your shell which would help avoid this.

That’s base 22, for all the base 10 users out there.

Real. Curiosity is such a desirable trait in folks.

be okay with a shitty old phone for years etc.

Nothing in the comic indicates the woman in the first two panels isn’t doing this.

Yeah, after reading the answers I see it more clearly. Also, I assume in hindsight that it’s three switches which can be on or off, so we know if all three are off the light is off. Which helps as well.

Like I said, it’s been over a decade, some of the specifics may be lost to me.
