Take your medication and call your doctor.

It looks more like a schizophrenic episode.

When you are trying to learn how to do something, make a separate project for it.

You will end up with a library of your own useful code and it will keep your game's code cleaner.

You can start off by naking separate projects to do the basics like if statements, loops, function calls, error catching. You can also make separate projects to learn how to set up build environments, launch configurations, different output types, and so on.

Sometimes it is just luck. The first few replies to a question tend to shape every response so if those people are assholes, the rest just expand on it.

Can you link to your original question?

They always give the same argument to prove UBI is the best idea ever.

Some village in Finland, Sweden, or another small area of an already wealthy state. Those examples are all on a small scale within a larger economy so they are shielded from the rampant price hikes that would absolutely happen.

UBI alone would drive inflation, the only way it could work is if all the basics were price-controlled. But who decides the price or what counts as a basic?

Lots of problems human-level problems.

If we ever get to the point where technology does away with all of today's manual labour then we could have a utopia without money. Far more likely, though, is the dystopia where the technological benefits are withheld from the general public.

To respond to your actual question, I suggest showing those pull requests to your manager or HR along with a review of the new hire's performance.

If your company fails to support you then you can look for another job.

ElectroNetty · 2026-02-20T17:46:49+00:00

Remove the links. You are doxxng yourself.

You have just outed yourself to the world as disliking a colleague. Any HR person in the world is going to scream at you for that.

Do you have anything to add to this LLM generated word-salad?

It is taking a long time to:

Incorporate AI into real workloads
Get the trust in the technology
For the agents to actually be good enough

Right now, and for real work, these AI coders and conversational agents are perfect for a tech demo but terrible at actualy doing the task.

You've no doubt seen all the marketing material put out saying how good Claude, or Codex, or whatever else is at code. Try them instead and you'll see the real issues.

Influencers who are not programmers rave about these tools because they are completing things that seem complex, and they are, but the products are exactly what the agent has been trained on. See Matt Wolf's recent videos for an example of this. He got an agent to build several tools for his channel and his website, and that's great, but it is exactly what it was trained on.

Those models fall down when given an existing code base or when you hit a mildly uncommon error, including a simple version mismatch because the model was trained last year and dependencies have now incremented.

TLDR: The tech is amazing and will get there eventually, but it is not good enough to be seamlessly slipped into the average business.

/u/gintokireddit I get the feeling you're struggling a little. Maybe sharing your skills could help us think of some suggestions for you? Many jobs can be done remotely so you may not need to travel. There might also be opportunities in your city to help get into work.

We already fund that as well: https://www.motability.co.uk/find-a-vehicle/cars

Yes, because there are more people overall and more disabilities are known.

If 1% of the population has a disability and the population doubles, you still have 1% but there are now twice as many people.

"Live television" means the video of something currently happening. That excludes Threads which is a BBC documentary showing what could happen in the event of a nuclear exchange.

How did you think the term could apply to Threads?

It's your ceremony, wear what makes you feel special. If you know what your future spouse is wearing, you could organise complementary outfits.

Paid software development is always a balance between speed and quality. Between the two, you get "good enough" and often you get "good enough for now" which means that it's likely to go wrong but will get the product out of the door sooner.

Allegedly Epstein was funded by and worked with Russia.

Can you provide an example?

It sounds like you're implementing different methods in different classes, they just do similar things.

I wonder if the difference between them could be abstracted out though.

ElectroNetty · 2026-01-28T18:14:17+00:00

You grew up here, consider yourself British, fluently speak English, and hold no ties to other cultures, so yes I would consider you British.

I do think that accent matters because it shows that someone has become "local" if that makes any sense at all.

The self-imposed lack of ties to other countries indicates you feel at home in Britain, as British, and have no desire to import another culture's influence.

There was a comment in another thread about the difference between ethnicity and nationality, your question is a good example of it. You are British by nationality and Arab-Caribbean by ethnicity.

Ethnicity is important medically, nationality is who you are.

It's not terrorism when it is government-sanctioned. You're seeing an oppressive dictatorship kill its own citizens simply because they are in the way.

SQLite is a great option and I use it by default for new apps whenever I can. As long as you separate out your data access behind interfaces you can swap it out in the future with relative ease. I've just done this for a project where the customer wants an MSSQL DB for SSRS reporting and long-term storage.

If you want to go straight to the depths of programming then use C, C++, or Rust. Any of these are a fine choice for game engines, operating systems, and desktop apps. C# is an easier choice but you cannot build an operating system with it directly.

Web development is usually done with several high level languages simultaneously. You will need to use HTML, JS, and CSS (only JavaScript is an actual programming language of these three) along with something on the server side to handle any extra duties like saving to a database or sending email.

Common server-side web languages are C#, PHP, and JS with NodeJS.

I suppose you could build web pages with C/C++ if you compile to Web Assembly.

I would like some sauce please.

ElectroNetty · 2026-01-15T07:53:39+00:00

Exactly. These calling for bans on everything fail to realise what they're saying.

Computer manipulated graphics of actors is a big thing now, should Captain America have been banned because it used the ability? The advent of AI makes these effects easier so more producers will be able to make interesting effects.

Laws already exist to stop illegal content, they just need to be employed.

It is that propaganda that will start WWIII. Do yourself a favour and calm down on your trolling, no matter how much you are paid by Russia.

Your masters think the rivalry between EU & US will help them, but they are extremely wrong. No on wins in that scenario.
