This man is attempting to start a riot

@CaptainRant an array in JS is not an array, it's a list, and the implementation details are up to the runtime. I think the mutation operations (push, pop, shift, etc) are pretty complicated in the V8 runtime.

JavaScript is a BAD language to study if you want to understand it. There's a boatload of "tricks" they need to employ to get a scripting language running as fast as JS does.

V8 might be one of the most complicated programs in history, or so I've heard. Surely it's just hyperbole, but I fully trust that it is not a friendly codebase.

@antigermanist hey can you spot me a fiver?

@12bitfloat @Liebranca yeah shit like move semantics and references to references and left and right and blah blah blah blah made me think "even if I was smart enough to understand c++, it seems like a mental exercise every time you need to write it"

solution: FUCK that shit! Use pointers if you want, screw references. Are references easier? Sometimes. Are they harder to understand the edge cases for? Fuck yes. Do you need to use them? Fuck no.

Just small stuff like that can make your c++ experience much nicer.

@lungdart I do find myself at least marking non-mutating functions as const, but that's as far as I will go.

There’s an extension for chrome that skips in-video sponsorships too.

@devJs peenis

This is incredible social engineering to query attack vectors. Bravo :)

Okay but like I got into microcontrollers recently so its feasible that in a few years I could fix a microwave

No don’t worry these places will be completely full to the brim with ChatGPT wrappers until the AI bubble bursts and OpenAI goes the way of the dodo.

@antigermanist sorry, brain drain is irreversible. We’re keeping Einstein and the lot. Should have had more strict border policy, like North Korea!

@antigermanist if the rest of the world started inventing cool shit maybe you guys could cause some economic crashes too

The tragedy is you can have the best of both worlds, but nobody ever does it (myself included) because it practically only bothers us anyways.

It needs to be a PWA where you’re in manual control of the cache and you need to add an event listener to the onblur of the window to halt all my resource loading when the window is out of focus

Is my guess. I haven’t googled it…

Work with it every day. Depends on the DBMS, but generally a 3a. Work with 300-400 line queries regularly.

@antigermanist left

A good, classic, agreeable rant. Take my upvote!

I think there's a large population of nerdy freaks in this industry which love to correct others so much that they need to think about baseball or grandma to avoid climaxing when they pull off a successful "WELL ACTUALLY,"

@lorentz oh yes I’ve actually had that before on my own domains lol. Makes sense.

@lorentz mind sharing what your VPN was filtering out? Any calls to suspicious services or was it a false positive?

Pivoted from gamers to devs? I might give it a little look.

@retoor the biggest problem is AI does a “good enough” job even if you don’t use it right, but the slop creeps in.

Bugs that are hard to notice, hundreds comments that are full of emoji etc. These people don’t care enough to learn how not to slop the codebase with their chat bots. They just want the work to be done so they can jerk off all day.

And thus, it makes it a tool worth banning if people are using it incorrectly.

@retoor I’m assuming it means “getting caught slopping the codebase” which he did

@djsumdog yup DLL hell in Windows can be rare, but real. I’ve had it just a single time but that was largely the projects fault.

@TeachMeCode eventually you're just gonna get a PDF document for each line of code.

It's just more junior-level thinking, as juniors tend to absolutely love comments (they haven't realized that they LIE yet)

I ran into a pretty interesting issue recently.

If it's a system that is well-documented, but has not much example code available (in my case, some Oracle database package that is well documented but seldom used) it hallucinates like a motherfucker!

The reason? It has nothing to copy, and instead must think. Which, of course, it's poor at doing and always will be.

@SidTheITGuy or better yet, an address so we can conduct wellness checks!

@Lensflare well then I'd suppose it's a tough life being a potato lover.

@sjwsjwsjw GraphQL? Disappearing logs? What a fuckin headache.

I love to teach juniors! Explaining the magic of computers to them can be so satisfying, as long as they themselves aren't lame (happens).

I hate to teach my peers (only in reference to things they should already know)

@Lensflare unfortunately both (potato lovers are very upset about it)
