UwU :-P >_< Ü

He didn’t use an IDE, but I don’t remember what he tried. He also wasn’t a fan of googling stuff. Use the man pages and nothing else.

Here is my story:

There were console outputs after nearly every line. I asked about them: “Oh, I couldn’t get the debugger to work, so I print everything to the console”

This was everywhere. The whole program was like this. On a standard Linux machine. It wasn’t even remote debugging or something. Just a local C++ program.

The filenames where written in 8+3. Again, on a modern Linux machine. His answer? “You never know where we’ll port this software to”

Onto computers that were outdated decades ago? To embedded systems? Of course he had no answer for this except “just in case…”

I could tell you more, that software was the stuff for nightmares.

Ah yes! One step closer to servitors. Praise the Omnissiah!

It’s not that expensive if you use them as slave labor and ignore their human rights… Well, still expensive for the tax payers, but who cares for those peasants? /s

How the fuck is there no fallback in case of an outage?

Dude, 1k/week is “I don’t have to work anymore” money

I’m neither trans, nor would I look good in that (fat, old, bald, hairy, ugly man), but for that amount of money I’d do it. It’s just clothes, who cares?

The ‘S’ on IoT stands for security!

Well nearly all right wing parties roll back climate protection policies. We are so fucked.

Well, it’s even quiet possible that the sculptor used his own hand as a model… And why not? Is it really a problem if the statue has man-hands?

It’s supposed to be a symbol not a penthouse model!

Yes and no one but crypto needs that. Everyone else is much better served with traditional databases.

Blockchain solves a specific problem: safe transactions without a trusted authority.

It has a lot of downsides to solve this problem without a trusted authority, so in any case where you can use a trusted authority (for example a central server) it’s much better to use that instead of a blockchain.

So everyone who added blockchains to their projects gained all the downsides while never having the problem it was meant to solve in the first place.

AIs, and I assume you meant LLMs with that, are a different breed. LLMs are new: never before could a computer handle natural language to such a degree.

Problem is, that it’s still new. So no one knows what the “killer applications” are or what monetization should look like, or what the laws about it will be.

People just throw every against the wall and see what sticks… And hope for AGI/ASI and to be on the side that rides that nearly infinite potential to the moon.

Or, you know, crash and burn in case AI reaches a wall/diminishing returns/systemic problems that can’t be fixed.

We will see.

Ah, I simply avoid that problem by being neither cute nor hot - and therefore single.

It might be that bad. Most ‘damage’ (as publishers see it) comes from distribution, not the download itself. Depending on how they acquired the books, it might be not be much of a problem.

That’s not Linux, that is Tux… And you might be an open source furry. What are your thoughts about GNUs?

Just waiting for the first decision made because of AI hallucinations.

With this government? You might get disappeared to a black site because a LLM “decided” that you probably are a terrorist…

Oh yeah, I overlooked that detail.

What the hell? If they just asked ChatGPT it would have been much better:

• Repository: A folder of project files on the internet.

• Fork: Your own copy of that folder to make changes.

• Pull Request: A way to ask, “Can my changes go back into the original folder?”

I hope she finds the strength to leave the US and find a job and home outside of the US. The jobs in the USA are mostly exploitative - not surprising with the labor laws as weak as they are.
