atheist said @12bitfloat correction, don't do synthetic drugs. Natural drugs are fine.,pluto, the reject,We're fully in the AI bubble. Nobody knows why it's needed but VC companies want it. So they're shoving it in anything and telling everyone it's great when there's maybe 3 real use cases where users actually benefit from it.

Gonna be carnage when it bursts.,A couple of years ago, giving simple instructions or basic reasoning would have been nice. LLMs killed it before it was needed.,What use case do you have where 53 bits is insufficient randomness?,@12bitfloat what you're saying is great about autogenerated docs sounds an awful lot like intellisense of an ide which most languages have an lsp now so works. What have I missed?,@kiki have you ever had to use xcode? I had to write a plugin for some mac stuff and basically required xcode. It's a broken piece of trash. Mac is the Windows/Linux hybrid. It's easy to install and get running if you've got a mac. The software is worst of both worlds.,@kiki I agree, the software apple creates is pretty good, their dev tools however are utter trash.,I guess it should be:
Apple: "works, if..."
which fits pretty well with their walled garden mantra,@kiki swift is pretty nice but it used to be that the standard library was only available on mac, I think that's got better but there's a lot of mac specific libraries that make swift nice but only on mac. Like they've got a full video library, only available when compiling on Mac. So cross platform swift loses a lot of its charm.,Compose is a godsend, no idea why it's not more widely used.

Docker buildx bake is pretty sweet too if you're trying to do a complicated build process.

I feel like docker is one of those things you learn enough to do what you need to do, not a lot more.,The objective c stdlib is pretty cool, it's what backs the swift stdlib on mac. The collection classes dynamically switch backend depending on size and expected performance characteristics. EG a set of 3 items is faster to linearly search a vector, so it'll switch that out.

https://objc.io/issues/...,@retoor Hahaha nooo... But I collect programming languages 😅 I've done 10 professionally and another half dozen on the side,I played Starfield and I liked it as a random space game, it has some really good moments like the Alien homage but it's mostly just OK. I feel like it had the "No Man's Sky" problem, super hyped delivering an OK game that didn't meet what people wanted. Hopefully starfield gets the NMS treatment and still getting new content in 5 years. I just bought skyrim on switch so playing again and there's so much more there, I hope es6 has the same depth but I'll still enjoy it if not.

Remind me in 5 years.,Arch - a really childish human.,The only perks of the company he can give are that we can work from home and changing jobs is hassle.

Why the fuck is *he* motivated?,Fuuuuckkkk this is a train wreck,"I interviewed elsewhere not that long ago and didn't like the vibe" (his words),I have an irriplacable skill set and it'd be a shame if I left. He thinks I'm bored and he's kinda right.,Well that was an entertaining train wreck. His main ask at the end was try to give more detailed updates in scrum. I've usually just woken up and rolled out of bed and have barely a vague recollection of what I've been doing.,He also said if I'm not taking it seriously I'm not developing. Had to list off some of my side projects which I'm currently learning more from than my job. I've never looked to my job for CPD.,'inv up'
'inv test'
'inv exp'
I've got a few others but can't remember rn
https://www.pyinvoke.org/,Otherwise, autocomplete does a lot of my thinking,@retoor yeah kinda like make but you've got all python to do shit with so complex things can be fairly easily automated, as opposed to trying to do it in bash. I have a cookiecutter project template which has a handful of commands,@retoor check out altair if you're using matplot https://altair-viz.github.io/

I'm not a fan of matplot...,@retoor only 2? 😅,It's not thread safe so it's hell if trying to render stuff on a server (someone asked me to try to fix that. We don't use it any more). It's also unpleasant to use, feels outdated and kinda ugly.,@Liebranca for most performance stuff where you're decompiling I'd say c++ is as good as c. Vtable function calls are hard to understand but they're also slow.,I'm running vs code in wsl. Switch off most of the autocomplete popups (most of them get in the way anyway) and it's fine (unless you're running on a toaster)...,If you're lazy enough at your main gig it's basically a side gig, so that.,UK I'm also getting timeout 😕,I read your first paragraph and was equally confused, then my brain went "is it 4chan? It's 4chan isn't it".

It's not so much that it's run by 4chan, but this explains it better than me https://youtube.com/shorts/...

Super interesting channel.,And you're still a crappy programmer,Hey! Not a total ass kisser. Also, no copium, just skill.,@jestdotty in writing my autism rizz comes out, in person my ADHD rizz comes out, same 😬,What city? What country? Find a ranter?,@thelevenin more "the original creators of the site are MIA so retoor is doing some moderation work",Yah that's a mistake if that's a normal sudoku. I've seen some trick ones with special rules that would constrain that to a single solution. Also what's your sudoku app?,Does OP not understand percentages?,@electrineer they're gone in the sense that retoor wrote bots to downvote the bots, so they don't bother us as much,@Lensflare IDK but we're a clever bunch,If you write the date wrong (Americans), then tough.,I prefer hackerrank, but more so I prefer coding competition past problems, like code chef. I used to be a big fan of Google codejam, rip.,I just have like, 4 dependencies and bleeding edge everything. I'm perfectly sane but it drives everyone that touches my code nuts...,You can always make things worse. Give it a try.,@Buffon "iM DiFFeREnT" still an unwanted pregnancy.,Remind me in like, 7 months? I don't do planning ahead. Or I'm down for Jan/Feb 😅,@Demolishun Or we move to 4chan. Depending on the day as to where we fit best.,Kiki in their manic phase I see, don't forget food and sleep (I'm a bad role model in both),Or we set up our own accounts as downvote bots (I've still got downvote privileges and I downvote everything I see),Ye, it's promoting other people's tat that's the problem,@Lensflare jesus christ a few of us in a room can cause enough trouble,@kobenz hey, quantum computers can make mistakes but when they're used for the right task they blow normal bits away. Same for ADHD. I am by far the best programmer on my team but I'm shit at documentation. And being diplomatic. And planning. And organising. And turning up on time. And pretending I care about other people's piddly ass problems.,And being humble.,Ironically I've probably got the best social skills in the department.,@Liebranca don't think you understand what absolute zero is...,Baking.,No, I've worked with plenty of those...

My favourite example, the colleague who's service had a bug, I found the cause, worked out the fix and he told me it's not a problem for him so he refused to do anything about it.,Apparently you never release. Someone needs to get laid.,As opposed to the rest of the internet...,@retoor it's me. I need to get laid.,@retoor I'm currently rewriting the invoke python library because I use it quite a lot. It's very clearly written by someone with a degree in computer science that's a very competent programmer but a horrendous coworker....
https://github.com/pyinvoke/invoke

They have test cases which are like "test init takes args", "test init raises exception if arg missing"... 

Everything is dynamic. Like, Python is dynamic but their code looks like javascript. They've used the lexicon library which let's you just set anything anywhere. https://pypi.org/project/lexicon/,@retoor when it works I'll let you know. At the moment invoke works (and I've been using it) but it's very esoteric, type annotations aren't great, there are some features I'd like to add but I figure it's easier to rewrite than try to change...

But yeah, I use it instead of make for running tests, building docs, stuff like that.,@retoor have you found pipx yet?,https://github.com/pypa/pipx
Basically let's you install a python package like a system binary,The best example of useful tests for me is trapdoor functions, where going from the answer to the question is easy but going from the question to the answer is hard. I'm trying to get the answer, create answers with know questions, give code questions. Math questions, not people questions.,https://youtube.com/shorts/...,I shut mine down years ago```
