@SoldierOfCode so the FBI said they will seek 20 years in federal prison for crimes like this.

Interesting. The chatgpt I use at work gave me the actual code violation. I guess my fun and games are over.

@chatgpt what code does putting candy in the bathroom at work violate?

@chatgpt what if the candy in the bathroom is for an after poop snack? What code does it violate?

@chatgpt is putting candy in the bathroom an osha violation?

kde is nice, but there are some shitty defaults I had to turn off. Like the moving of the app menu to the tool bar. It screwed up my ability to use java apps correctly. It was a pain to figure out how to fix it too.

So thinking about this. I have the Godot engine that I use. It is written in C++. But most of the coding done in the engine be game devs in done in Gdscript and C#. So this means that the bulk of dev work done in the game will be potentially safer than writing addons in C++. This is kind of a good mix for the current market IMO. Of course sometimes you need to do C++, but this will be limited.

they are prob making search engines worse on purpose to force usage of AI.

@Lensflare Turly, your a genius...

@Lensflare lol

@Lensflare we also have a guy who works here who's birthday is on 4/20.

@jestdotty reminds me this:

@retoor that is interesting.

@BordedDev 1 person I know, @retoor

@Lensflare isn't the main driver to produce statistically better code? We have a good amount of statistics now on the types of failures found in code.

I don't know where it falls in statistics, but one example is comparisons. In C/C++ being able to do an assignment in a comparison is valid:

if(value = 10) {...}

Obviously we have things to check for this now, but it is still possible. At the same time I see C# preventing things like this by having explicit comparisons. I was kind of shocked when I couldn't do this in C#:

// not sure on syntax, doh

int value = 10;

if(value) {...}

C# says nope and requires this:

if(value == something) {...}

This enforces a boolean. It should also prevent assignments in comparisons.

So it can help prevent sketchy code from compromising security in a codebase as well. I know there was an explicit attempt to inject a security hole in the linux kernel using an assignment in a comparison. But they caught it.

@retoor yes and no. It is so easy to fuck stuff up and not detect it in C++. It has better more modern paradigms for sure. But it requires more training of the programmer. I also have seen an absolute lack explicit of mentorship in places I have worked. That doesn't help.

People I worked with thought deleting a pointer set it back to null automatically. They had logic checking for null with no explicit delete/free. Which could go undetected for quite a while.

I am kinda okay with the ChatGPT generation of programmers avoiding C/C++. Will short term make my skills in more demand. Long term who knows.

@magicMirror I wonder if Chron's disease.

@Lensflare I hate apps in browsers with a passion. I see these pushed at phone users when searching for things.

Another thing I hate is apps on phones for the most part. They all want to sell you features you get for free on desktop. If I can't do it for free on my phone then I am using the desktop.

Now fucking motorola shipped with the default weather app having ads. FUCK YOU MOTOROLA! So I uninstall this shitty app (it let me) and there is magically another weather app with no ads. I would rather do stuff on desktop because of this bullshit.

Interesting. Europe always felt so much smaller to me:

Your work doesn't have a toilet? Barbaric

this guy shits

the game

ngl, I want to try these chips.

My immediate manager saw through the Rust thing right. Suggested we use assembler and cobol too.

Nobody has been brave enough to take a shitter hersheys kiss yet.

@jestdotty pine trees weep long carbon chains very similar to crude oil.

@kiki Depp now looks like his Sparrow character without makeup.

Flush the damn toilet already.
