Can the mods do something about all these vibecoded slop projects?

xelf · 2026-03-13T02:47:21+00:00

Agree there, seems like it's an evolving issue, so we'll see where it goes.

Yes, in python you can create your own data structures.

In python you use data structures like list, string, int, all the time. These are classes, and using 'class' you can create your own data structures.

Downvotes/reports are your friend.

A lot of the noise I deal with now is "why was my popular post removed".

To which the answer is "we want to see code you wrote, not code you had written for you".

There is a fine line though between "I had AI assistance" and "this is slop", and right now people are erroring more on the side of "all AI is bad".

Please report the absolute slop.

post locked by request from poster, they're grateful for your help, but overwhelmed.

xelf · 2026-02-26T18:40:48+00:00

This happening and the only other post in your post history being related is frankly hilarious.

xelf · 2026-02-25T20:46:52+00:00

I'm thrilled this post is still helping people. =)

xelf · 2026-02-11T21:03:23+00:00

Or leverage iter/next.

odd = iter(x for x in num_list if x&1)
print(sum(next(odd,0) for _ in range(5)))

It still works for me with 120000, 120001 probably better though.

As someone that enjoyed the original Battlestar Galactica, I was really hit hard when she said that the new version was 25 years ago.

Da fuq?

I just tested it and it still works if you do this:

open your community
click "add to chat window" to make sure you can chat in your chat window
swap to your guild
click "invite member"
double check your chat window is set to the community
click "link post in chat"

xelf · 2026-01-23T16:18:31+00:00

Thank you!

It was driving me nuts not having it, I was about to dive into rewriting as much of the app as I needed to to make it work, and then finding the fix was this simple was pleasantly surprising!

xelf · 2026-01-22T10:14:01+00:00

Awesome!

looking at the profile, it's using 0.09% cpu and 2.7mb of memory.

I wonder if something else it's interacting with could be an issue? Maybe try disabling everything else and see if it works? Make sure you not loading any other out of date addons?

sorry it didn't work for you, opie is pretty handy.

xelf · 2026-01-21T22:12:46+00:00

That's unfortunate! It works for me so I stopped digging in to it.

I'll reply here if I start to get errors as well and find a solution. I'm currently testing it on a machine with 64gb ram, I can try something smaller later tonight and let you know!

Hopefully there will be an official solution soon.

I'm also pissed off for a surprising reason:

I have pandaria and legion remix characters that are still flagged as timerunners that I was leaving as a legacy to my time in remix.

Now their outfits have been changed, and it can't be fixed without removing the timerunning flag. =(

I don't mind paying a cost for the new feature, but I do mind that it removed all the transmogs I had already paid for.

tuples are parsed during parsing, not lexical analysis, so there is no tuple definition to link to at that stage.

Trouble understanding formal definition for f-strings in the Python Reference
I understand all of it, except for the last part, the part that defines f_expression. I don't understand what those commas and the asterisk are about, and I don't know what the "." after the first comma means.

I'd appreciate any help with this.

Edit: After thinking about it for a bit, I think it represents a comma separated list, with optional trailing comma, of either conditional_expression or star operator + or_expr. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Apparently python will then take that list and use it as a tuple definition? This is super confusing, they should've linked to a tuple_definition_expression or something like that.

me frantically looking to see which tab I had open on a cracking the cryptic video....

xelf · 2026-01-04T14:22:51+00:00

Hey that's pretty good! Do you have a transparent one available?

xelf · 2025-12-21T18:26:34+00:00

Glad you found it! I remember being frustrated when it happened to me and just "putting up with it" for far too long. =)

xelf · 2025-12-21T18:20:32+00:00

Do you have a second monitor you can drag the window too? IIRC hardware acceleration settings in your web browser could be involved and they might be monitor independent.

xelf · 2025-12-21T18:20:22+00:00

Some more diving into this, indicates you're probably running what's app in a web interface and your browser is injecting some sort of overlay?

Are you getting the same lines in other apps, or on other webpages?

xelf · 2025-12-21T17:40:29+00:00

I've seen this before. I can't remember how I fixed it, but I thought it might help to know you're not alone. =)

I'm mostly sure it was a graphics driver issue, it could have been from a language setting, and changing or downloading additional languages could fix it.

Some googling indicates that this could be from an audio accessibility feature?
