Because long lines are bad for splits and/or vertical monitors. You don’t know the viewport the code will be read in, so keeping to a conservative width is helpful. If things wrap or require scrolling, that’s a lot worse for legibility, whereas having lines limited to 80 has minimal impact on legibility.
I personally format all comments to 80 (using vim’s gw command) and never touch LLMs.
vim is definitely cooler than neovim.
Admittedly I’m not sure if it works for Japanese, but English has online tools you can use to print out a sheet to write out every character and scan to turn into a font file. Would be surprising if it didn’t exist for Japanese.
So ultimately you probably just need someone with neat handwriting.
Just looking at the image, yeah he’s a little parser combinator library entirely from scratch.
Not sure what you mean by verbose type declarations. It looks to be 2 type declarations in a few lines of code (a newtype for the parser and a sum type to represent the different types of JSON values). It’s really not much at all.
English may not be their first language (since the question mark thing is common in French, for example), though of course if that were true, their comment looks even worse.
I’m fairly certain there is a real version of this out there though, because I remember seeing it many years ago before all of the AI bullshit.
My sense is that this is a real photo that has been reproduced by AI.
I agree with this. Been considering switching to the instance, but don’t really like all of the AI stuff. I don’t really care about copyright, more about the effect on humanity in a much broader sense and the environment.
… Do you actually believe this nonsense?
It’s just for the “last mile” where code gets packaged up into releases. There’s still thousands of developers that have all of the code on their machines as well, it’s just that their local repos aren’t the ones that end up in the hands of end users.
Changes can come from anywhere. The Linux kernel itself doesn’t use any central repository like Github, it’s instead done via emailing patches that are eventually merged into the mainline kernel repository managed by Linus.
It is 100% decentralized.
Erm… You might be confusing millennials with Gen Z or something. I was 19 when annoying orange first showed up, and I’m on the younger end of millennials. Me and my friends found it pretty obnoxious.
Yep. It does increasingly feel like developers like me who find it deeply disturbing and problematic for our profession and society are going to increasingly become rarer. Fewer and fewer people are going to understand how anything actually works.
Anduril has had many, many recruiters desperately trying to get me to work for them. On the surface, what they make does sound incredibly cool: embedded systems/operating systems for autonomous robotics.
The only problem is those robots happen to be death bots (and Palmer Luckey, who makes me want to stay far, far away).
Flossing must be a bitch.
Completely agree. Just a bunch of people who clearly don’t play the game and know nothing about it talking out of their asses.
IMO you can’t have a serious opinion about the game without having actually played it competitively. If you’re just somebody that’s casually played a couple games with friends and family, your opinion about the game isn’t really relevant.
Do you know their rating? Tbh most people’s idea of being “pretty good at chess” is actually not very good at all (I don’t mean that as an insult, more lack of familiarity with the game).
That’s not to say that it’s impossible for someone to think those things and be a strong chess player, but it’s probably not super common. I’ve actually ran into a couple people at a local chess club with “interesting” ideas about vaccines and uh… let’s just say they were not hard to beat (I think I mated one guy in like 12 moves). And btw, I’m not even a super strong chess player myself (~1134 USCF). But like, they probably would seem really strong to someone that just occasionally plays chess at family gatherings or whatnot. Chess is a game with a low skill floor and very high skill ceiling, so you have a huge range in ability.
Way, way better than excel for working with tabular data. Excel is child’s play in comparison.
Didn’t know much about hilariouschaos, but it’s definitely an instance I will be blocking after reading this thread. Any instance willing to put up with nazis should be shunned and other instances should defederate from them.
Edit: Apparently I already blocked the instance when I joined lemmy. Go figure.
It’s not that far from the truth, it’s just the thing they pick is what they saw on Fox News that morning.
