People who’ve never used Rust or only used it once and couldn’t grok it like to meme that Rust is bad to cope.

It is almost always that.

So Trump threatened to destroy civilian infrastructure. Isn’t that a war crime?

I’m thinking seriously about using something like a Daylight tablet as a thin client for a more powerful machine at home. Obviously doing real coding by hand would still suck, but LLM-based coding might actually be viable.

Slop points aside, I found 5.4 to be pretty ass compared to 5.3 codex. Took way longer and wasted more tokens.

1000 lines isn’t that unreasonable for a PR. Commit size matters more.

Or idk maybe people have a job where it’s useful to hone your tools? This meme doesn’t make any sense.

RAM was the last thing on my mind when I switched to a tiling WM.

That’s why I quit coffee. Tea doesn’t do that to me for whatever reason, probably just less caffeine total.

But I assume it also had something to do with high blood pressure.

Haha this immediately reminded me of this scene from White Lotus Season 3

I have used OOP design patterns many times, but that doesn’t mean I use inheritance a lot. I almost always reach for interfaces instead.

It was actually typed. Python had type annotations at the time.

I only wrote C++ very early in my career so I don’t remember much, but I’m sure I at least tried some inheritance in toy games I would write. All of that code was trash though by my standards today.

Some legacy Python code that already used inheritance. I had to extend it, and it was pretty infeasible to refactor the whole thing to not use inheritance. Not sure if I technically regretted that decision, but it was definitely painful, since Python inheritance makes it really hard to follow program control flow.

No because those are different things.

In over ten years of professional programming, I have never used inheritance without regretting it.

There should be some balanced path in the middle somewhere, but I haven’t stumbled across a formal version of it after all these decades.

This is where experience is so valuable. It helps you know how much planning to do before you start building. Or sometimes if you need to build something before you can start planning (i.e. prototyping). You need to identify the most critical problems to solve for your given use case, and make sure you do just enough planning to solve those problems. Often that means anticipating future requirements and making sure your plan doesn’t put you on a path that’s incompatible with future requirements. But don’t completely solve the future problems yet; do just enough to convince yourself that you aren’t painting yourself into a corner.

They do but I don’t know if there is a significant conversion from tourism to immigration. I think most tourists are taking advantage of the weak yen, not trying to live there long term.

I don’t doubt some of this stuff happened, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if some of it is nationalist fear mongering. Just like the whole “tourists are kicking the deer” rumor where no evidence ever surfaced. Some nationalist Japanese really like to stoke the anti-foreigner flames.

But Japan truly does have an over-tourism problem so this could absolutely be justified.

Kids don’t speak it.

I can’t take this seriously if MATLAB is near the top of the scoreboard.
