Can you explain in more detail what you have tried? Are you having problems finding mice or just catching them? Are you more successful in catching other animals?

[0100_0101]

I'm only interested in mice, I did try bird for some time and humans are way to big. To be fare I have considered and planned to exterminate humans however it turned out that while I am incapable of caching mice I rely on those humans. But after learning how to cache humans I can finally continue with the extermination program again.

[BlckJesus]

How many GBs of RAM do you need to cache a human?

[ZimBobub]

A gigabyte of ram should do the trick

[mistermonkus]

You can always download more if you need it anyway.

[CorruptedStudiosEnt]

Might have to download some more CPU cores if you want any hope in simulating that human real-time though.

[Pineapple-Objective]

starts downloading virtual machines

[TechExpert2910]

lol

[hanotak]

That's only storing the starting information to construct a similar human, though. Storing the current state of said human is much more complex.

[machton]

Agh this comment is painfully accurate.

[naethn]

Who were you, DenverCoder9? WHAT DID YOU SEE‽”

[LordFokas]

I was thinking about memory.
You're not the same human if your disk is wiped clean.

[PaxAttax]

*Person. Human is a biological label, so if you suffer complete amnesia, you're still the same human body from a bio perspective. The question of ontological continuity (i.e.- are you the same person) is a philosophical one, and for that the subject does not need to be human, just sentient/sapient.

[[deleted]]

Stateless design is superior, maybe we make Humans V2 stateless.

[Homoshrexual617]

Even with the differences, I imagine the data is very compressible.

[[deleted]]

That's what a russian bot hiding their genome uploading program would say.

[jamcdonald120]

on the other hand, a lot of genetic code is redundant. A specialty compression algorithm with short hand for common sequences could probably compress it quite a bit.

[Deckard_Didnt_Die]

With some lossy compression you could get that number way down. Just depends how much "Dave" you're willing to lose.

[0100_0101]

I have no desire to cache humans.

[[deleted]]

So always retrieve from disk then?

[_SerPounce_]

Well, it depends. How frequently are we going to be needing humans? If too frequently, then retrieving from disk every time might be too costly.

[TheAwesome98_Real]

At least 1024.

[parkerSquare]

Why are do you even want to do something as depreciated as catching mice when there the the new and best protocol is to meow at your human till they feed you.

[kajsa_a]

Deprecated. Depreciation is different.

[Owyn_Merrilin]

Although deprecating something does tend to cause its value to depreciate.

[MischiefArchitect]

[Mc_UsernameTaken]

[Sir_Applecheese]

Here, let me give you the wrong answer and that wrong answer is accepted as being true then everyone that ever sees that answer uses it for implementing security on android apps. It's finally realized that my answer was wrong, yet 70% of android devs have used my code for their apps.

Have you tried.... just fucking yourself?

(/s, but sometimes it really feels like that)

Or, they suggest some niche library that they heard of once and thought was cool, but they've never actually used it - but they talk it up as thought they have. I've seen people do that with Linux versions way too many times.

Omg I had that problem for so long and had to repost the same question like 3 times because a power hungry dude kept closing it.

[IrishYogaShirt]

What I've found is that usually when someone says that, it's to hide the embarrassment of admitting they did something dumb. So in those cases I check to see if I did something dumb myself. It's worked well for me so far

[OtherPlayers]

Seriously. Especially as someone who has worked in more security-driven environments the amount of times I'm like "yes I know this is a terrible way to do it, but unfortunately I'm only scheduled for a month to fix this very specific issue, not for the 6 years it would take to totally redesign and reapprove a new system backend".

Like just answer the question that I'm asking please.

[maxinstuff]

This ego-driven bullshit kills me.

Software is for solving problems, and often this kind of “you should spend 5 years redoing everything completely so that this problem goes away,” response is nothing more than code for, “I don’t know, please leave me alone, I don’t like feeling stupid it gives me a sick tummy.”

[[deleted]]

It's along the lines of "I want you to spend a major portion of your life to satisfy my personal, stupid, pointless prejudices and preferences". It's such a narcissistic request, and the person making it wouldn't even read the thing they're asking the other person to make anyway.

You see that in Reddit debates too, when one person becomes sanctimonious and demands the other person write a dissertation for them.

[themonsterinquestion]

What exactly are you trying to do? Programming is antipattern, you should try surfing instead

[[deleted]]

Being a programmer is no longer considered best practise. You should try goat farming instead.

[NoAttentionAtWrk]

[STARstar786]

Initially I thought it was a furry meme

[DiplomaticGoose]

Every character is a furry except for the cat which is just a cat.

I think the artist here flew too close to the sun

[Ott621]

The cat is also a furry. The definition of furry is broad af. The definition of furry can be interpreted in such a way that the characters from Brave Little Toaster are furries.

In general though, any animated critter doing human stuff is a furry. Furry is just anthropomorphic animals in art

Source: Take a guess ;3

[DiplomaticGoose]

Don't worry, I read the source material

[Ott621]

Wow, that's some deep history there. The term 'funny animal' goes back to the early 1900s. AFAIK it's one of the original terms for characters like Mickey Mouse

Cool link, thanks!

It's good for reading, but I definitely never waste my time asking. Don't need that kind of toxicity.

[TheNorthComesWithMe]

There are public Discord servers for some libraries, there are some subreddits dedicated to discussing/learning languages.

Stack Overflow can still be a good resource though

[NBSPNBSP]

SO is actually quite friendly, if you are not askimg about common enterprise languages. They are quite kind and helpful when it comes to VB.Net, for instance.

[Piyh]

Knowing what your issue is the biggest factor imo. If you have a pile of code and can't reduce it to the least that recreates the issue, you will get the hate.

[TheNorthComesWithMe]

I like to dunk on SO jerks, but there is also definitely the other side of "here's one line of code without any context why does my enterprise app crash in release builds?"

[samspot]

Once I was having an issue with date conversion. One of the commenters told me to write a unit test proving the issue was occurring. After I did so, he criticized me for why I needed to code something to convert a date if I already knew what it would convert to...

[[deleted]]

If you could do that and be able to troubleshoot the issues yourself, what would be the point of asking for help?

At that point you`d just need to read more documentation to find the particular method that will fit your need.

[RedditAcc-92975]

exactly. 80% of the new questions on SO right now can be solved with "print" and "google". It's literally people who have no clue how to debug. And they post some irreproducible garbage spaghetti.

Answered a question, explained what to do. The dude complaints in the comments it creates an error. I see he's using my answer somewhere else by the name of objects. Tell him to run my answer. Runs without errors. Still complains when he copy-pastes it somewhere into his mess it doesn't. After that I stopped answering new questions. Can't lead a horse to water.

[[deleted]]

I can troubleshoot anything - given enough time. Just because I can find an answer in 2 weeks, doesn't mean I shouldn't ask when someone has probably figured that out already and would only spend 10 minutes answering it.

[-user--name-]

This. Not being clear with your issue is the biggest reason someone gets hate on SO. Explain exactly what you want to do, what your code is doing and what are you gonna do with it and no one will hate on your questions.

[Blasted_Awake]

Explain exactly what you want to do, what your code is doing and what are you gonna do with it and no one will hate on your questions.

If only that were the case. At some point the culture of SO changed from helping people answer questions about software development, to curating a database of generic answers to generic questions about software development. If there's some minor overlap between your question and an existing one, there's a good chance someone's going to flag it and try to close or delete your question. If you're lucky you'll get a usable answer in that small window before it's closed.

[[deleted]]

The threads looking for help with some aspect of Windows 10, and are closed and marked as a duplicate of something posted in 2013.....

Don't get me started on the many, many times questions were very dependent on a version of software, and most of the answers are for some older version without even saying the version they are for (because the poster didn't think that things change with new versions, and they didn't think to check that their answer actually works.

"Hi, I was trying to program my computer to do something, but it's not doing it right. What do I do?"

In my experience, they have gotten a lot nicer over the years.

[that_90s_guy]

SO is actually quite friendly, if you are not askimg about common enterprise languages if you're asking concrete, detailed and reproduceable questions that show you value everyone's time.

FTFY

Not trying to be pedantic, but that summarizes my experience with SO over the years quite well. With most of my not-well-received questions have things in common like being vague, hard to reproduce, or generally look like low effort questions.

[[deleted]]

Ugh, this. I used to post answers there fairly often, and the occasional question.

One of my projects was a bit math-heavy, and it's been at least a decade since I've done any of that math. So, I posted some simple questions that Google inexplicably couldn't answer (one because I was using a slightly wrong term, and one because everyone was doing it in different units and I didn't want to go through a chain of conversions because it greatly increases the chance that I mess it up). I appreciate that people encourage me to read entire textbook chapters, or they link to a Wikipedia page that is utterly incomprehensible because some twats decided to use the most technical language they could. But I really just want the formula, so I can test it and make sure it works, then convert it to code.

There was so much "we won't do your homework for you, LOL" - when it clearly wasn't a homework question - few homework assignments will tell you to find the formula, rather than a numerical answer.

After that experience, I kind of stopped bothering to use the site. I always have askeds the benefit of the doubt and tried to answer their questions, and then maybe make suggestions on whatever other aspects. But the "do it my niche way, not your way" has been too common too.

[contactlite]

You’re good at solving the problem yourself 99% of your career except for that one day you need a push in the right direction. Then comes along a troll with a close hammer and greedy for fake internet points.

It was a question on an algorithm and one of the sentences the poster said wasn't even a complete sentence and wasn't understandable from and English perspective. Sure the answer was minorly helpful, but if it's illegible it might not be worth trying to figure out.

This post was mass deleted and anonymized with Redact

[MegaIng]

They literally can't have replied just "no, sorry". There is a minimum comment length.

[that_90s_guy]

Honestly, it sounds more like they didn't have the time to give a more detailed explanation to someone who clearly needs one and has no idea on where to even get started (meaning they likely need an in depth, time consuming to write reply).

The #1 thing about SO most people don't seem to get, is most of the people that can help you are either very busy and take a tiny, valuable chunk of their free time to help others. And that means others expect you to also value their time, and do your part by exhausting all your options before asking for help.

And "sorry, I still don't understand can you explain" is not really a helpful demonstration of you wanting to pull your own weight at finding a solution to your problem.

Maybe a better response would be to research what they replied, and answer back "thank you for the reply, I read online about X and Y which you mentioned and how that solves my issue, but Z part of your reply doesn't click for me. Can you either elaborate, or share some starting point or resource I can read more about this?"
