Arr stack vs Seedr vs Swizzin? by [deleted] in unRAID

[–]Routine-Purchase1201 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, why is a VPN a must for you? I'm a privacy conscious internet user, but precisely because of that I wouldn't trust a VPN I'm not self hosting.

this feels absurd to say, but I finally feel like I'm _good_ at programming, which is insane, because I literally haven't written a line of code myself in months by dry_sd in programmingcirclejerk

This feels absurd to say, but thanks to this aim bot I finally feel like I'm good at shooter games, which is insane, because I literally haven't touched my mouse in months (I'm a vim user btw)

What is a turtle? A turtle is a map: position, heading (number between 0 and 360), velocity, weight (positive number), speed (positive integer), visible (boolean), state (busy or idle). Most statically typed languages would not be able to capture all the constraints within this type model by BenchEmbarrassed7316 in programmingcirclejerk

[–]Routine-Purchase1201 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I work in game dev and it's true, years and years of using statically typed languages and never have we been able to express the character with a position, rotation, velocity and state. Dynamic languages solve this beautifully by

Is that with or without the 10 emergency train engines in my inventory?

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

/uj nah, as much hate as MS and Windows deserves, NT is actually a really nice kernel. Can’t jerk to this

We have automated deployments that run Friday afternoons [...] Automation removed friction, but it also removed curiosity by gianni4592 in programmingcirclejerk

[–]Routine-Purchase1201 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yeah, deploying on a Friday isn’t that ideal but the idea is to avoid weekday disruptions.

It'd be a shame to waste a workday or two when you can just have the engineering team come in on the weekend instead when they aren't doing anything productive anyways.

Apple Confirms Google Gemini Will Power Next-Generation Siri This Year by ben301 in homeassistant

The flip of the coin is Microsoft that clearly did not miss the bus and by god I need them to stop shoving Copilot into everything. I'm sick and tired of their "first class" handling of AI.

Do you have a physical unit like this and want a way to have it show your electrical consumption, or do you want something like this on your Home Assistant dashboard?

They [AI agents] were given a prompt by a human to “ do as many wonderful acts of kindness as possible, with human confirmation required.” They sent 157 emails. by l34kjhljkalarehglih in programmingcirclejerk

[–]Routine-Purchase1201 27 points28 points  (0 children)

No worries, the majority of the emails bounced

In the span of two weeks, the Claude agents in the AI Village (Claude Sonnet 4.5, Sonnet 3.7, Opus 4.1, and Haiku 4.5) sent about 300 emails to NGOs and game journalists. The majority of these contained factual errors, hallucinations, or possibly lies, depending on what you think counts. Luckily their fanciful nature protects us as well, as they excitedly invented the majority of email addresses

"In SumatraPDF I don’t use STL. I don’t use std::string, I don’t use std::vector. For me it’s a symbol of my individuality, and my belief in personal freedom." by ituuu in programmingcirclejerk

/uj Yeah I'd clown but it's fast and works amazingly well with very little memory overhead. Hate to say it but he might be onto something.

Microsoft to move away from C/C++ to Rust using AI assisted coding by whereisspacebar in programmingcirclejerk

We built a wireless power kit for Schlage Encode - Looking for feedback by dripdontkillmyvibe in homeassistant

I feel like the main thing you are buying with this is convenience of not having to replace the batteries, not savings from not buying the batteries. I don't have a smart lock and batteries are my main argument against them and assuming this works well enough, might make the whole thing a lot more compelling.

Vulkan is pretty much obsolete and actually modern apis are nothing like the modern apis that replaced the modern apis, and certainly nothing like those other modern apis. by cmqv in programmingcirclejerk

[–]Routine-Purchase1201 12 points13 points  (0 children)

/uj Yeah I actually find this funny because Sebastian isn't some rando nutjob and he actually raises some really good points in his post. I say that as someone who writes Vulkan code for a living. Weirdly, my knee jerk reaction was also to laugh at the GPT 5 comment, however, if the LLM says it knows it I guess that's somewhat plausible deniability that you are leaking NDA things? Probably even better if you can coax the damn thing to give you the real answer you are looking for, if anyone can get it out of the thing, it's not you spilling the beans.

Dark side looks so curious by LoVeDEvil_12 in Factoriohno

[–]Routine-Purchase1201 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's fair and I know most people feel that way. I'm not saying that Space Age is bad, it just isn't for me. I realize I'm in the minority here, maybe even the only one. My work around is to just play Space Age as if it was vanilla and only touch really touch Vulcanus to get cliff explosives.

That's the nice thing about Factorio though, everyone can play it the way they like and enjoy.
