The more AI claims that GIMP has no connection to either a Gimp eg person with a limp or the Gimp from pulp fiction the more knowing that age group and the fact that pulp fiction came out in 1994 and the project release in 1996 and was written by two COLLEGE STUDENTS the more convinced I am that they made ai intentionally stupid and that it needs to be removed from the hands that prevent it from being used to describe things accurately4

I've never understood the corporate word "bi-weekly"
Like is it, two times a week?
Or is it one time every two weeks?
Which is it ffs?14 -
I had to debug a reference loop in my Rust codebase and I was gearing up to it all week assuming that it would be a nightmare. It turns out that 1) it was 4 refloops, not one and 2) each of them took about 10 minutes to find. The benefit of no GC is deterministic deallocation timing, and this means that you can just set breakpoints or print statements to the point where the object might get freed and see if it actually does.
Plus, in contrast to GC, this transparently works across programs; Usercode holds a reference to a tuple and there's a map deep in the interpreter to document that std holds references to the tuple elements, but the fact that std references the elements because of the tuple, and that the elements must be freed once the tuple is freed, is only known by std. However, this ends up behaving exactly as if the relationship was held in the interpreter, so users of the public API don't need to know about it.11 -
We were talking about gimp the other day :P
here is a friendly friendly version of it but if you zoom out the weird looking wide eyed thing with its cigar is still looking out at you.
Its so comforting and purty :P26 -
I if ever meet the Apple devs responsible for iOS accessibility keyboard control I‘ll go to jail for a long time. Keypresses for tab, shift+tab and arrow keys do not even reach the browser, the OS catches them and moves focus to whatever it sees fit to be the next focusable item. Tabindex and roles are also just recommendations and no surefire way of controlling focusability.
Whatever those people take I hope it‘s laced with fent.1 -
Reframing run amuck
"But if i die this horrific terrible painful way it and noone sees it who i can tell is shocked and frightened it just becomes sad and terrible"
Ladies and gentlemen their stupid mindset and a part of the cause of problem
Everyone doing things that's deserve death
Like dogs doing tricks but in this case for a boot in the head instead of a treat
And no aspect of how they go is any less pathetic and sad than how they live
I think if you find the people who want to die for no valid reason or because they're pieces of shit who expect to horrify or kill someone who is innocent and adores them because they don't know them etc a quick shot to the head would save money and time not to mention trauma and suffering
Course you could just double cross them and let them think they'll get what they want and lo and behold their victim isn't there but the hungry thing is1 -
Just saw an article about a failing attempt at the UK to create a nationwide parking app.
Mostly because the many, *many* parking meter app operators in different markets don't want a single, interoperable standard.
But, there is one all of them must support or stop working entirely.
It is the "room temperature at sea level" standard for any western user interface: point and click, text input, English UI text.
Can't AI be a front-end for that?
This is also a rant about AI. There are sooo fucking many modules for siri or Alexa to be compatible with apps like uber or Spotify. Uh, why? Shouldn't the AI, that claims to he capable of recognizing images and text, just open the app and click on the right buttons?
I know why siri and Alexa and Google assistant and and chatgpt aren't capable of that - because it would free users from UX lock-in, and the corporate overlords would rather shut down the entire fucking internet.
But now with DeepSeek and other open-source moderately useful LLMs, could we finally be nearing the day when we can ditch the millions of marginally different apps and let the AI take over the piloting of their redundant GUIs?
Because then, even if app vendors don't want to work together and end up fucking up the aggregate UX for every smartphone user, we can just flip them the bird and let the AI blur their entire brand identity in the background of a "please wait while I operate some second-page apps to realize your request" message.1 -
