I found it’s useful for code where I know like 70% of what I’m doing. More than that and I can just do it myself. Less than that and I can’t trust and diagnose the output.
I’d rather have old fashioned stack overflow and tutorials, honestly. It’s hard to actually learn when it just gives answers.
Most of the code at my current job doesn’t even have the optional type annotations. You just see like def something(config). What’s config? A dict? A list? A string? Who the fuck knows.
Unfortunately most of the developers seem to have a very pre-modern take on programming and aren’t interested in changing anything.
Get a code formatter. Ruff is popular. So is black. Never think about it again.
I don’t have the means or motivation to do research now from the couch, so I’ll concede you may be correct. However, I think it might be even safer to take those same billions of dollars and invest them in mass transit and other infrastructure changes. That would mean fewer car accidents, less pollution, nicer spaces, healthier people, healthier economies, etc. private car ownership cannot be the long term solution. If it’s not an outright dead end, it’s certainly a side street instead of high speed rail (if you’ll pardon a strained metaphor).
Self driving cars are a great idea, but they aren’t a fix everything solution, they just one part of an overall solution.
Why are they a great idea? What are they making better? How is it worth the real and opportunity costs?
To be clear, I didn’t insist we run women candidates anyway. That’s a tactical decision I don’t feel qualified to make from the toilet where I make Lemmy posts.
I just want us to agree that those 30% of men or whatever are trash. Because they are trash. Trash that votes, but still trash.
(And not irredeemable - many things that end up in the trash can be fixed or repurposed. People are not immutable.)
Some men will simply not vote for a woman, it’s sad, but it’s reality.
Can we all agree that those men are trash? I don’t care what else they’ve got going on, if they refuse to vote for a woman because she’s a woman, they deserve to go into the dumpster.
I’m so sick of all these sacks of shit making the world worse
Self driving cars have always been a stupid solution to the wrong problem.
We shouldn’t be investing billions in them. We should be investing billions in creating livable spaces that don’t need cars so much. Then people will be happier and there will be less pollution.
But I guess that’s not profitable so I guess we’ll just do idiotic garbage that gets people killed.
I didn’t think anyone liked Vance. But I guess there are a lot of sexists and Republican cultists out there.
I’ve seen at a very large company a workflow that involved manually updating an excel workbook and (I think) saving it on confluence, so a python script could download it and parse it later. It wasn’t even doing formulas. It was just like less than a hundred lines of text in a half dozen sheets.
It’s hard to explain a real plan when most people are only semi literate, with no attention span, and no real knowledge of how government works.
What percentage of people believe the president writes laws, do you think?
Are .gov sources still legitimate? Are we sure this wasn’t written by rfk’s brain worm?
For work, a Mac and vscode. I don’t love vscode but it’s what everyone uses.
Well, some of them develop on windows with like notepad++ and it’s kind of a nightmare. There’s no ci/cd, linting, or testing, so whenever I check out someone else’s branch it’s full of red squiggles.
My personal is pop!_os Linux where I’m also using vscode because I’m too cheap to pay for pycharm.
You’re not listening to me and I don’t think you’re worth listening to. Go away. Goodbye.
I like and respect teachers, but I’m a software developer and I’m telling you that adding extra parenthesis often adds clarity and makes the whole process smoother. You exist in a whole other context that has norms and assumptions that do not apply to what I’m talking about.
You being technically correct is irrelevant.
Adults who have forgotten the rules who I work with and read/write code where it’s important. In the real world.
This is like some pure maths vs real life engineering cliché.
You’re either being deliberately obtuse or you’re painfully naive.
That’s because it’s already clear as is, as per the rules of Maths.
More people evaluate 2+3x4 incorrectly than 2+(3x4). So, no, your answer does not hold up to my observed reality. You can throw as many “well technically” and “well actually” as you want, but that’s not going to fix the bug or make a pr.
Used hinge. It’s the least bad, as of this year anyway.
Most people who use dating apps are, frankly, bad at it. People send garbage messages with garbage profiles. People half-ass it and expect the other folks to carry the whole thing. I feel like I could write a short book on how to do it better.
Condensed into like three bullet points it’s
Being “an introvert” doesn’t excuse you from being present and engaged. The other person isn’t going to be that interested in someone who responds every couple hours with “lol”. If you can’t muster up the energy to have a real conversation, you aren’t ready to date.
Out-groups to bind, in-groups to protect. That’s it. Often on a purely emotional level. Having the out-group be just out and about living life feels wrong to that kind of person. There has to be hierarchy, they feel.
You have to be careful at low skill/knowledge levels, because it’ll happily send you down a crazy path that looks legitimate.
I asked it how to do something in oracle SQL, because I don’t know oracle specifically, and it gave me a terrible answer. I suspected it wasn’t right so I asked a coworker who’s an old hand at Oracle, and he was like “no that’s terrible. Here’s a much simpler way”
