I don’t understand how public opinion isn’t nearly universally against Israel’s horrors at this point.

Hey, if it consoles you, three quarters of our pure back-end C# developers are as you describe, too.

All the full-stack devs I’ve worked with so far were just back-end developers who write terrible front-end code.

It’s one or the other. If you pay YouTube for Premium and don’t get any ads, advertisers don’t pay for your ad impression.

Wouldn’t serving video and bandwidth concerns count as complexity?

The supreme court, after such an amendment miraculously passes:

“Well actually, this sentence doesn’t mention the president of the United States in particular, so it means every president of every company ever. But a company president doesn’t have pardoning powers, so this makes no sense. So this amendment is invalid!”

Hmm, I follow the package’s readme and only get invalid command errors.

Gotta install the pip dependencies.

Oh but first you need to create a venv or everything will be global. Why isn’t that local by default like with npm? Hell if I know!

Ah but before that I need to install the RIGHT version of Python. The one I already have likely won’t do. And that takes AGES.

Oh but even then still just tells me the command is invalid. Ah, great, I live CLIs. Now I’ve gotta figure out PATH variables again and add python there. Also pip maybe?

Now I can follow the readme’s instructions! Assuming I remember to manually open the venv first.

But it only gives me errors about missing pieces. Ugh. But I thought I installed the pip dependencies!

Oh, but turns out there’s something about a text file full of another different set of dependencies that I need to explicitly mention via CLI or they won’t be installed. And the readme didn’t mention that, because that’s apparently “obvious”. No it’s not; I’m just a front-end developer trying to run the darn thing.

Okay. Now it runs. Finally. But there’s a weird error. There might be something wrong with my .env file. Maybe if I add a print statement to debug… Why isn’t it showing up?

Oooh, I need to fully rebuild if I want it to show up, and the hot reload functionality that you can pass a command line argument for doesn’t work… Cool cool cool cool.

Python managed to turn me away before I wrote a single line of code.

Running an already functional project took me nearly two hours and three separate tutorials.

It’s not just that the input data is crap. Mostly the issue is that an LLM is a glorified autocomplete. The core of the technology is making grammatically correct sentences. It has no concept of facts or logic. Any impression that it does is just an illusion borne of the word probabilities baked in.

LLMs are a remarkable example of brute-forcing a solution to a problem, but it’s this same brute force that makes me doubt it’ll ever reach the next level.

Remembering that show frustrates me. How did they start with such a hilarious premise and end up with a show that’s okay and not one milligram more?

I’m a front-end developer. I sometimes need to solve algebra problems. I’m pretty bad at it because I , but my knowledge that a problem is solvable by math comes in handy maybe once or twice a month. It’s just that on the few occasions that there’s algebra that I can’t figure out how to solve (maybe once a year), I may ask for help from a colleague.

Examples of cases where math comes in handy:

• Pythagoras when I need to figure out the x/y components of a diagonal distance
• Width/height calculations from a variety of parameters

In summary, as long as you know what math is capable of, you probably won’t have major issues. There will pretty much always be someone around to help with the math part if necessary.

As for calculus… I forgot all about the one calculus class I’ve taken and I’ve never suffered for it.

Eh, not sure it’s got anything to do with the political spectrum anymore. At this point I’m not sure what to call it but the US and allies’ obsession for maintaining ties with Israel no matter what feels divorced from… Well, a lot of things, really. But among them the left/right spectrum.

I can’t talk much. Canada is also selling Israel the supplies they use to do their mass murdering.

The US has two parties: center-right and far right.

Vue and React are popular alternatives.

Lit is a less popular alternative that’s 100% compatible with native WebComponents, and I’ve been interested in it ever since I first heard of it.

The old version, AngularJS, died. The newer Angular lives on, and I heard it’s a much better experience.

I hope you can see a doctor because that doesn’t sound good at all

At 60 years old I’d get it but at 30? That’s worrisome.

According to the dictionary, 抜き打ちnukiuchi and 抜き付けnukitsuke sound like synonyms. I’m a little confused.

I guess with uchi (to strike down) vs tsuke (to put, attach, etc) one sounds more like the result and the action but it’s weird that the definitions from Jisho.org aren’t too explicit.

There’s also smelting. Japan didn’t have the technology to completely melt iron, which complicates things.

Rapiers are a tad more modern, but there is a parallel in how they were a bit of a status symbol and often used for less “normal warfare” scenarios.
