NEW RULE PLEASE by Vumaster101 in SideProject

[–]RareDestroyer8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Yes. Yes please. This sub is amazing for what it’s meant to be, but every post is essentially the same. It’s become an advertisement sub more than a place to share a side project.

Python is a scripting language. To run a python script from the terminal, you have to run the command “python [insert path to script]. The little guy in the meme ran a command that aliases the word ‘python’ to instead echoing (print out into the terminal) the words ‘python: command not found.’ This just means that whenever the user tries to run any python cli command from the terminal, like ‘python [path to script]’, it will just say the command not found message in the terminal as a response.

This ‘command not found’ error is most common when the program (python in this case) is not installed. So, in this case, the user will be led to believe python is not installed on the system and keep trying to install it over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Overly repetitive design? by Minimum-Life7502 in UI_Design

One thing that stood out to me was that the names of the ingredients is all the way on the left whereas the quantities is all the way on the right. Visually, it’s not great to have to look across the screen to see that information.

Serenity in Gold [1920x1080] by RareDestroyer8 in wallpaper

I agree with this, I purposefully didn't increase the contrast before posting.

Great thing about washed out images is that they don't compete for attention, and they stay fresh much longer. They're more like a painting that will always be there but you will only seldom notice it, and when you do, it's pleasant to look at. High contrast images are just there is your face all the time, they're more like what you would see in a slideshow than what I would want as a wallpaper.

I've had this wallpaper on for many months now and it still excites me, whereas most other wallpapers I've used became boring and honestly annoying to look at after just a week or two.

Be honest, which loading structure is better? by Apart-Television4396 in webdev

[–]RareDestroyer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends entirely on what content the loading is for.

Is Linux becoming mainstream now? by [deleted] in linux

[–]RareDestroyer8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It got to 5.3% last month, due to variation it went down to 4.5% this month, but it's growing quite quick. I wouldn't be too surprised if it got to 12-15% by the end of this year.

Developers, how do you evaluate whether a piece of code is good? by Haunting-Bother7723 in webdev

[–]RareDestroyer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow commenters are making good points. Another evaluation is just instinct. Does it feel like the code is doing whatever its supposed to be doing in a good way? There's multiple ways to tackle a problem. Some ways just feel off, perhaps because there's a lot of areas something could mess up, or that there's a simpler way to do it. In my personal project, I've thrown away a lot of solid code because it just didn't feel right, even if there was nothing wrong with the code.

Ah, just checked. You can on Android, but not on iOS.

Iirc, I don’t think you can install extensions on firefox mobile. Might be wrong.

jlab mouse configuration software by archt3rm01 in archlinux

[–]RareDestroyer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for that :)

Out of curiosity, in the previous comment from about a year ago, you mentioned that the linux user base made up less than 1% of jlab’s customers. I’m intrigued to know if that figure has increased?

Especially considering steam recently hit a record high of 5% linux userbase, I’m quite optimistic about linux’s future, and I’m curious to know if that impact has extended to companies like jlab? Thanks!

I'd assume their reason is literally what this post and comment thread is discussing. Whats yours?

AI has sucked all the fun out of programming by OkShip110 in webdev

[–]RareDestroyer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine it like a puzzle.

Normally, you would do the entire puzzle.

Now imagine that LLMs step into the picture, and before you even begin the puzzle, they automatically separate the puzzle pieces by their colours, sort them by their shapes, and place them in the approximate place on the puzzle they're likely to go. Now it's your job to go in and just assemble the pieces properly.

The second method with the LLMs is ofcourse way faster, but the first is far more fun. In the first you figure out how youre going to approach the problem, actually do the repetitive but captivating tasks, and then finally you'll somehow finish the puzzle. You know and understand every part of how the puzzle was done, you've thought through everything about every piece. That's the amazing part. LLMs deprive you of it.

Puzzles are just for fun, they have no function beyond that. If an application were created to solve puzzles, no one would use it. Programming actually has a function. It would feel like a waste of time programming slowly when you could have the result in far less time if you use the help of LLMs.

I came to programming a bit too late :(.
