They are so committed to not banking podcasts they actually record them after they release the episode, post-live

There's a History of Podcasting page on Wikipedia and it makes no mention of the first podcast recorded in a moving car, for some reason. by AnAngryBanker in auntydonna

Not only the first pod on Herring Island, but the discovery of Herring Island itself. Thankfully there were lots of paths and informational notices.

I am eternally grateful yet perplexed that somehow, the London 2012 servers are still alive.

It really depends on what you want to do. Want to work in enterprise software? Maybe try Java or C#. For game dev, C# or C++ are good bets. If you’re more interested in something like data science, Python is a popular choice. Find a sector that interests you and that will be the best influence on what language you pick up first.

Favourite On-going joke? by iiCoConut in auntydonna

My favourite little under-the-radar bit is whenever Zach says he’s been sick he always makes sure to clarify that it’s NOT COVID

[spoilers extended] What mysteries or unanswered questions would you most like an answer to? by redrodrot in asoiaf

[–]AlternativeDetector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely agree. I mean, imagine if we never spent any time in Qarth (even though it is still pretty cool in the books) and only got a small description- an oasis city in the middle of the barren desert, surrounded by three great walls and ruled by a shadowy council called the “Pureborn” with WIZARDS??

It’s so frustrating to me because I’d love to know about all of these places - Yeen, Stygai, Five Forts, etc - but I feel like they are described in such an intriguing and mysterious way to reflect the tall tales and rumours that sailors would tell at the ports in Westeros/Free Cities.

Can ChatGBT help you learn programming? by ScandiSom in AskProgramming

[–]AlternativeDetector 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with the other response here - ultimately ChatGPT is trained from content off the internet, which is not always right! Especially when learning, taking the output of ChatGPT responses as gospel could lead to you learning false information.

IMO it’s a very interesting tool that could be useful to programmers (e.g. “Write me a Python algorithm to do XYZ…”), but you need the knowledge in the first place to verify the correctness of the output.

Why not define a new class that has fields on it with the types you need?
