As a tutorial grade react developer (please return me to the backend where I am mediocre instead of bad), having more senior developers take the time to explain why my code was bad was really helpful.
Also I think I just kind of hate JavaScript. It always feels like everything is more complicated and booby trapped than it should be.
I feel like vscode and pycharm both do that out of the box?
Before my big monitor broke I had pycharm split into four panes for the backend project and 3 for the frontend. It was nice.
I’d rather not. I liked the game. I don’t think it needs a whole movie about it.
Good read.
I fuck around with Claude at work because there’s a mandate to do so, and it’s unsettling how it mimicks being a person. A lot of the parts are there. It would be easy to fall into that delusion.
It’s unsafe.
A woman who was arrested on Saturday after she drove a truck through a youth soccer game in Wichita, Kansas – killing a boy and a man – has been released from custody without charges pending further investigation, according to authorities.
Once again, the best way to do some murder is with a car. People just accept it
I just had a flashback to one of my first office jobs.
They had weekly reporting that needed to be done, and someone non-technical had been assigned to do it. They had like gone into the database and copy-pasted records into excel, and the whole operation took a full day.
I was like, “Hold on. What? You know you can script all of this, right?”
Luckily my boss liked me, and let me go ahead. Changed the task into an hour, including making whatever charts and slide-deck management wanted that month.
Though I do wonder if sometimes doing things badly is a weird pro-labor move- They get paid the same if they take all day versus an hour, so why bother speeding it up?
I need to find a better phrase than “cargo cult” but I see a lot of that at work. People who don’t understand why a system is the way it is become fanatical about doing it particular ways.
Like, you have to do “file -> save as” into the directory. If you save it somewhere else first and copy it that’s NO GOOD
I feel like a lot of people involved in the hiring process are incompetent and shouldn’t be there. Like you have HR people who can barely use Word asking if you know Java or JavaScript
I’m pretty happy with libre office. Not keen on AI code
Does gog do cloud saves, game recording, remote play? You could probably do recording by launching the game via the steam client, I guess.
I don’t think you’re going to convince people by ignoring their actual reasons, and writing them off as cultists.
Turns out for some reason I thought the old 1920x1080 kind of display was 1k. Nope. That’s not what you call that.
Legitimately aggravating. Well done.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. Got it before I got laid off and before prices went super crazy.
I’m only playing on a 1k 1080p monitor so i wasn’t pushing it very hard, but it ran without issue.
That worked for me fine on Linux (pop!_os). Remake worked on the steam deck, too.
I haven’t purchased anything in months because my job pays badly, and fuck this capitalist hellscape, but if I was going to buy more games steam is the most likely source. Linux support, cloud saves, game recording, remote play, fairly unobtrusive client, drm at the seller’s discretion.
I commented at work that giving the non technical team AI would be like giving toddlers chainsaws.
I got another talking to about making people feel bad.
Bunch of ghouls and whiners here.
These are mild consequences. I’m sure we can upgrade to moderate, or maybe even memorable consequences.
Every one of those right wing complainers are among the worst people on earth.
They never seem to complain about rich people who just live off investments and inherited wealth.
If Sony just sold games on more platforms…
Teams is a huge piece of shit.
Why is every meeting its own chat? With no threads! Why are the team channels like fucking forums instead of chats? Why do I get notified between 0 and 4 times for the same message?
I hate teams. I have never had a memorable problem with slack. Maybe some things can be fixed with better use behavior, but good software guides users away from bad patterns.
