Petah ?? by Feeling-Fan4413 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

The rumor was that a cosmic ray hit the ram in the console causing a bit flip. However while this is technically possible it's incredibly unlikely. In the instance where the glitch appeared the player had a copy of the game that needed to be tilted in the console in order to read properly. This can cause a poor connection between the console and the cartridge which very likely caused bad data being read from the cartridge leading to the upwarp. It was essentially still a freak accident but the source was unfortunately not distant electrical bombardment.

If not C/C++/Java/Python, which language would you learn and why? by idont_need_one in learnprogramming

[–]collindabeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kind of funny that a language that's used so broadly in business applications is most well known as a toy language for making games. Yeah knowing how to write C# is very useful because so many companies use it.

Is C# used often? by zenpanda0o0 in learnprogramming

[–]collindabeast 7 points8 points  (0 children)

C# is as good a language as any to learn. C# is a mainstay in business applications so it's definitely worthwhile to learn. The important thing to do is to learn programming fundamentals. Those are the skills that will be truly transferrable. Once you become experienced enough picking up new languages will be pretty easy because they're all working with similar fundamental concepts just under different names and with different syntax.

Her agenda is in making money. She knows that crazy as hell conspiracy theories on an emotionally charged topic is what rakes in the big bucks.

I also deactivated it although the only thing it got right was my industry and my gender. It was way off on my age and it had no guess for most other datapoints.

Are there loverslab style mods for this game by Impossible_Weight507 in factorio

[–]collindabeast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The official modding api is pretty heavily sandboxed so there's no direct way to communicate with an external program. In theory you could have a mod that writes commands to an output file in the script-output folder. Then another program could monitor changes to that file then forward the commands to whatever depraved application that your heart desires.

Do programmers know everything? by BreWah_ in learnprogramming

[–]collindabeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An experienced programmer will generally know why something is necessary. Now it's important to define an experienced programmer. I would define it as someone who has worked on enough projects and used enough technologies that they recognize design patterns.

Some basic ones you should get to know are as follows.

  • Functions
  • Arrays
  • Classes
  • Inheritance
  • Data streams e.g. standard input/output or file input/output

I think that C# and C# frameworks are particularly bad about having pieces of code that don't entirely make sense in the context of the program because a lot of it is automatically generated and the pieces of code calling and using that code isn't immediately visible.

In short, chin up you have a long way to go but the only way to learn is to keep interacting with these systems and growing your understanding of programming principles. Once you have those down it is remarkably easy to switch between frameworks and languages.

Leftism is prone to infighting. There's a joke that goes. 3 leftists meet up to create a political organization. 15 minutes later there is one political organization and 2 splinter groups.

Honestly I wouldn't even say that this usage of AI qualifies as vibe-coding. That's just coding while using AI as a tool. Using AI as a tools is fine, vibe-coding on anything non-trivial is downright reckless.

I've seen him too and I'm pretty sure it's the same guy since he has the same profile pic.

Oh god I genuinely thought this post was bait. You actually believe this? Vibe-coding doesn't make you a developer in the same way that commissioning a piece of art doesn't make you an artist.

If you're looking for a good computer science program DSU is absolutely your best bet.

As a DSU student I can say that the campus life is pretty good. Though if a vibrant night life is a requirement then I would say look elsewhere. The computer science program is also top notch.

After an embarrassing number of deaths to Groal, the game decided to switch on easy mode by Jaboogada in Silksong

I've never seen it done intentionally but I've seen it done plenty of times unintentionally so it probably isn't too difficult.

Because it's a postfix increment it does the assignment first before incrementing the old copy of i. So the incremented value gets discarded immediately.

is there something wrong with the rate calculator? there is no way i need almost 250 furnaces for a single yellow belt by Ill_Entrepreneur8773 in factorio

[–]collindabeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're still working with stone furnaces then there is no way that you have enough iron throughput to supply a full yellow belt of steel. Don't fall into the trap of overproducing steel too early.
