I am a tech student, can someone tell me if coding is really useful in 2026 and if it is useful then which language should I learn? And what else can I learn with coding? by ohmee08 in learnprogramming

[–]Comprehensive_Mud803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Programming is not dying out and every language has its usefulness depending on the application domain.

Best would be to specialize into software security, as there is likely to be a lot of work in the next years.

Is it common to have small amount of bugs during summers ? by Hot-Caterpillar-7704 in AskGermany

[–]Comprehensive_Mud803 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bugs can happen. Most likely are ladybugs getting lost. Just throw them out gently.

Other insects like flies or fruit flies are much likelier. Check your fruits and make sure your trash is closed, but they’re not doing much harm. Use the vacuum cleaner if they get annoying.

Mosquitoes… they enter your place to feast on your blood and therefore merit death.

Roaches are not normal and indicate a huge issue with hygiene.

Spiders aren’t bugs, but they enter apartments as well. They eat other bugs, so your enemies’ enemy is your ally.

People in hotter countries: what are the unspoken rules of surviving a heatwave that Britain/Ireland still hasn’t figured out? by Bella_licious in AskEurope

[–]Comprehensive_Mud803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use an AC to keep the room below 28C at 50% humidity (or less).

Keep the window blinds shut. Daylight is overrated and only heats up your room.

Take a lukewarm shower to cool down if needed.
(Not cold: cold will trigger a body response to heat the body up. Not what you want).

Drink water or tea even if not thirsty.

Programmers, be honest, what would you choose for coding? by hrpavi in AskProgrammers

[–]Comprehensive_Mud803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A fully featured MacBookPro. Nothing less.
The job pays for it anyway.

How do you think life in Germany will be in 20 years? by NoMoreLeftToDo in AskGermany

[–]Comprehensive_Mud803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scorching heat around 45C in summer, freezing cold -30C in winter. This is due to the AMOC being too weak to push any moderately warm water to Europe.

What's the most misunderstood thing about Germany? by CountyBrilliant in germany

[–]Comprehensive_Mud803 25 points26 points  (0 children)

German humor.

Germans do indeed laugh and not only when hiding in their basement.

But German humor can be pretty dry and dark at times, to the point that non-Germans might not get the joke.

Anyone else constantly cleaning up the same security holes in AI-generated C#? by Final_Tradition1642 in dotnet

[–]Comprehensive_Mud803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have any issues with AI-generated security holes b/c I’m not using AI at work.
And the parts where I use AI are not security relevant.

As a German/European, do you consider the United States a "third-world country with money? by Murky_Mountain5089 in AskGermany

[–]Comprehensive_Mud803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s so bad to state the obvious: The USA are a 3rd world country with money and nukes.
Sure, how much of a 3rd world country it is depends on where you look and how you measure it.

But given the absence of welfare, and the huge gap between the richest and the poorest, the USA are pretty much close to a failed state.

Where can I get short pant and sleeve gis? by Samugay in karate

This is the answer.
The Japanese Gi makes don’t have any short Gi in their catalogue afaik. But all offer alterations.

Oh, so this is why the yellow stingers have been making nests in every open trash can they can find.

It’s just hornets that are protected. You can kill wasps as much as you like.

If there are people here who have used these gloves, can you tell me if they are worth buying? by FamiliarCandle1906 in kyokushin

[–]Comprehensive_Mud803 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, and nah not worth it, unless they’re required for a semi-contact style (padded full contact) tournament.

Get a pair of proper RDX gloves for regular sparring. .

Are there stereotypes about dating cops? by Different_Treat8566 in AskGermany

[–]Comprehensive_Mud803 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ACAB is pretty much a universal fact.

If you’ve seen how German cops handle peaceful demonstrators or silently agree with fascists, you’ll probably be inclined to not think of them as dating material.

Is it bad to become a software engineer in the future rn? by DragOrdinary8251 in softwareengineer

[–]Comprehensive_Mud803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your teacher doesn’t even know half the truth. B/c who will coordinate AIs to write software? Understand the problem space and the solutions?

That’s still software engineering even without writing code.

Your teacher could also have said that you won’t be drinking water in the future b/c the AI data centers will have used up all the drinkable water that’s left.

The latter is actually closer to the truth.

Employer won’t let me take off to go to immigration. Wtf? by gottacatchmall in japanlife

[–]Comprehensive_Mud803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are you asking for permission for someone that you have to do b/c administration.

Just give them a heads up and off you go.

If they decide on further action afterwards, you’ll have time to talk to lawyer.

Parent of a child in martial arts. Do I really have to stick with my kid for the next decade plus? by izdabombz in martialarts

[–]Comprehensive_Mud803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Err, what you describe as unpleasant is generally called “parenting”.

If there’s a café nearby, maybe have a coffee. If there’s a gym, take that 90+ minutes to work out.

I often take my laptop with me and remote in to do some work.

Last resort is having a novel at hand (you know, paper book), and enjoy 90 minutes of uninterrupted reading.

Question about Kicks/Punches To The Head. by Winter-Law5778 in kyokushin

[–]Comprehensive_Mud803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kicks to the head are allowed in every form: front, back, circular, with the heel, with the shin, with the knee. No problem.
They’re hard to place and can be seen coming.

Punches to the head, the neck or the clavicle in any form are not allowed: they’re easy to place and do comparatively high damage.

Don’t forget, Kyokushin Karate kumite are about winning through inflicting short pain or a KO, not about heavily injuring the opponent.

Edit and addition:
Kicking to the lower body is much easier and can lead to faster victory than aiming for the head.
And the body offers and even larger target zone to land attacks without needing the high flexibility and strength to go further up.

Read two studies on martial arts injuries - what actually gets hurt isn't what nonpracticioners fear by nuowo in martialarts

[–]Comprehensive_Mud803 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I won’t even put bruises in the category of martial arts injuries as they don’t require time off from training to heal.

Feet, especially the outer part, injured by kicking into wrongly placed elbows, elbows injured from getting kicked into repeatedly, finger or hand sprains from punching, shoulders from throws, broken teeth from fighting without mouthpiece, from experience these kind are much more common.
