I don’t have a problem with Java, and you can get Oracle free versions of Java.

JavaScript on the other hand is a blight as you say.

JavaScript’s real name is ECMAScript.

Editing grub.cfg from an emergency console, or running grub-update from a chroot is a close second.

Adding the right Modeline to xorg.conf seemed more like magic when it worked. 🧙🏼

I think it’s clear from the graph that USA is doing it right and the rest of the world needs to smarten up!

Correct, and your point is?

Could be I was not clear when I wrote performance, I am talking about High Performance Computing, where you want to spend all CPU cycles on solving your problem. While taking Amdal’s Law into account. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl’s_law

🤦🏽‍♀️ Thanks for explaining, my brain must have corrected the race condition.

Regarding threads: I have had good experience with using thread safe queues everywhere to exchange data between threads, it’s the right tool in many cases, but I doubt queues to be useful when coding for performance.

Forgot about that one, even if I just worked on a Jenkins script 🙄

I would rather use pgsql or tsql instead of PL/SQL, mostly because of oracle.

Yes Java, Scala, Kotlin, Jython and Perl

One thing I have observed with sodas containing aspartame, is the short shelf life, I think normally they give sodas 1 year but after 6 months the soda starts having an off taste that only gets stronger.

I have tried drinking a can of zero that was 2 years past the expiration date, and it tasted like cat piss.

Ps: I guess the aspartame molecules are not very stable in a soda mix?

Until they find out that the way to descriptive variables or functions needs to be extended with new business logic requiring renaming of functions again and again.

I think maintaining code with this level of verbose naming, will be a pain over time. If they don’t let the naming slip, and then they could as well use cryptic 3 letter names.

My experience is that: If you don’t know exactly what code the AI should output, it’s just stack overflow with extra steps.

Currently I’m using a 7B model, so that could be why?

Ah I see now that I mixed it up with classless functions in a header.

Yep, first thing that comes to mind is that header only classes need to use inline functions.

It’s part of the language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friend_class

Then you open the core file with GDB and hope the stack is not smashed.

That’s Weyland-Yutani

First of all if you solve problems that means you know enough of the subject to reason out the solution, it may not be perfect but very few solutions are.

I have been working on legacy code and maintaining old c++ code for a decade (200.000 loc) and most of the time I had to spend days debugging and reading code just to understand enough to get a possible solution, and then I still end up writing a solution that breaks in a different corner case that I never could have imagined.

So yes most of the time you feel like you don’t know anything, but over time you end up knowing a lot of how that codebase works. And after two years you must have picked up something about what you are working on.

Then you have those programming language genius colleagues, that know all the tips and tricks of a language, I use them to get ideas on solutions, because they always have an opinion on what is the “right” way of doing stuff.

That’s just my 2 cents.

Reminds me of my lottery number randomizer in VB 3.0 I calculated 10 rows and checked each input box against the others without any loops, and then each row was just copy pasted. 🤦
