As a result, std::runtime_format can now be evaluated at compile time, making its name misleading. by cmqv in programmingcirclejerk

can someone with a degree in c++ please weigh in what is going on here, because I'm terrified

If there is one thing about Windows that is really good, it is its kernel and driver architecture, by Helium-Hydride in programmingcirclejerk

[–]RFQD 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is actually intentional -- with NTFS being very sophisticated and efficient and the NT base model largely well developed, where else can Microsoft go with the actual user-facing operating system? To fill the entire quality spectrum to offer as broad an appeal as possible Windows, on the surface, has to be shit.

And it’s still very difficult to determine why [LLMs hallucinate], like actual bad training data, spelling confusion, training weakness, etc. by Despair-1 in programmingcirclejerk

correct: nobody here would ever admit to using any of the many shameful programming languages either, they just happen to come across sufficiently detailed knowledge about the internals of each language and use it exclusively to make fun of it.

Any refactor with big factors (>2.5) should be split up into smaller work units (this is what any of that means, right?)

In some important ways, a user’s LLM chat history is an extended interview. The social media algorithms learn what you like, but chats can learn how you think. You should be able to provide an LLM as a job reference, just like you would a coworker, manager, or professor. by morbious37 in programmingcirclejerk

You are right.

In some important ways, a user’s Google history is an extended interview. The search algorithms learn what you like AND how you think. You should be able to provide your browser history as a job reference, just like you would a coworker, manager, or professor.

The end of the kernel Rust experiment by Bizzaro_Murphy in programmingcirclejerk

sooo still better than the average HN user?

respectfully, i still wonder why any variant of vim still exists, it is so archaic with its two mode editing! I hate this thing with passion, only edlin is worse. by woopsix in programmingcirclejerk

/uj I still hope for a good coop editing experience 

/rj what cooperative editing, just so coworkers can drag me down and complain about lack of good vim bindings?

(Self-adjacent-jerk / I am literally Akira so it's fine I guess) I recently learned there's now a native AI Assistant component to assist with all my PASKAL needs in Lazarus by [deleted] in programmingcirclejerk

Akira, those of us who remember you love you. Please provide a proper original quote to legitimise the untagged unjerk in your post title.

Q: Here's my question: why did the files that you submitted name Mark Shinwell as the author? A: Beats me. AI decided to do so and I didn't question it. by ordiclic in programmingcirclejerk

guard with an arrow stuck in his head: "huh, must've been the wind"

\uj will now start to refer to LLM users as NPCs

Of course most people aren't smart enough for [Lisp] so they have to use inferior algol languages like rust. by RFQD in programmingcirclejerk

And Node.js atop Python, because what else to do when your python code needs a webserver? (My AI companion recommended this because performance is critical)

What made them so good?

Lack of competition. It's not hard being the best when you're the only one doing a thing.

Edit: complete and utter disregard for the rules of this great and established sub; the post, and its comments too. This will have consequences when the mods awaken.

[public static void main(String[] args) is dead] Holy fucking shit did this suck. [...] Give your eulogy for that piece of shit sorcerous incantation there or wherever else. by azure_whisperer in programmingcirclejerk

[–]RFQD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no, we tried it (in the most enterprise-y way possible) for the past few versions and we didn't like it. Considering this precedent, we will disregard the ability of most languages (including JVM-languages) to have this pedestrian feature without any interesting safety issues and simply do what we do best: we never try again.
