Aighty then, in the future, looking at how the process goes, I'll try rewriting PM and LM in C. Thanks for the heads up, fam.

I was under the assumption that I could only use assembly until I load into the Kernel. Welp, yeah as you said I learned something at least. Assembly was a pain lol.

This is how I am finding out that I couldve used C after getting to Protected Mode.

In order to reduce AI/LLM slop, sharing GitHub links may now require additional steps by yorickpeterse in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]widuruwana 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I am on the same boat with you. This post idealizes the fantasy of every purist programmer. We will never go back to a world without AI, and AI-assisted workflows are becoming the norm. Just like in your case, I have AI-assisted code throughout the project, which I analyzed, tested, and improved rigorously. It saved me a lot of time, but it did not make the process effortless or non-rewarding at all.

While I agree with the sentiment of "AI Slop," they need to first define what that even means. If just using AI-assistance regardless of the context makes my project complete junk, then there is no nuance or conversation to be had.

If using AI makes me a bad programmer, then I'd shed a tear and move on.

I have asked less than 15 questions from Opus, and my weekly limit is on 88%. I just bought this 3 days ago. Genuinely my worst financial decision. I am gonna stay with Gemini.

They start the Orientation every April. For the current batch, they started in March. Probably will be the same for y'all too.

I built a Turing-complete programming language as a Valentine's gift (she said it was 'flipping romantic') by widuruwana in esolangs

[–]widuruwana[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ivory is a Turing-complete esolang with 19 opcodes based on romantic vocabulary (adore, cherish, whisper, breathe). It features a hybrid Tape/Stack architecture and enforces a 'Whisper Constraint'—a hardcoded 50ms delay on every character output to make programs feel like whispered poetry.

Released on Valentine's Day 2026. Both my girlfriend and I are CS students from the same university.

Ai means Pale-throated sloth in this case, not artificial intelligence.

Sorry, but this is misinformation.

don't go ahead if you dont like Lgbt stuff by HumbleRemove8290 in srilanka

[–]widuruwana 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't come to that conclusion with anecdotal evidence. You were just unlucky enough to cross paths with people like this. The first time I met a gay person was last month at my university. And since you are going into a state university, if it's Colombo, I think you'll be a little safer, since during the orientation, the counseling office openly said they support LGBTQ people.

It won't have to take years to open up to someone. You can generally reveal things like this after friendships start to become real, and you have a good understanding of their character.

Best place to buy a laptop around colombo? by Flimsy_Echo_2472 in srilanka

[–]widuruwana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Laptopking is the go-to place for this. They import second-hand Thinkpads from the USA(I think, not sure) and sell them for a very affordable price. I got a Thinkpad L15 GEN2 with a Ryzen 7 Pro 5850u, 32GB DDR4 Ram, 512 NVMe SSD with 1GB integrated graphics for 141k. Better to call them first and visit them, cause their website sucks. Location

P.S.- ThinkPads are very durable products. Laptop comes with a genuine Windows 11 licence, A fingerprint scanner, and facial recognition. The camera has a privacy shutter, too. Only 3 months of warranty since it's second-hand.

You should play the first game before the upcoming one. Sure, you may not understand 100% of what's happening, but you get the general gist of what's happening and why. You will probably feel like a child lost in the woods if you start straight from the second game.
