"yes so by artificially creating more jobs"

The ultimate altruism in that case should be letting others do yours. AFAIR that's called a vacancy. Go on then.

By bodging your job you have created nothing, no value, you're a negative capacity. So now where your employer had resources for employing 10 people, after adding you to the team he now has resources for 10 - 1 (you) - the dipsh**ery you're doing.

People who believe what this rant says are the single greatest reason for why this website exists.

Have you considered using Bluetooth for it? Also, consider developing it in a more language agnostic direction, i.e. specs. You could kickstart a community standard for this with such project.

FWIW having very limiting constraints is basically how most algos with nice complexity metrics get made.

@PepeTheFrog What the... "you create more jobs on the market"? Please tell me you're joking...?

? :d ?
?

So bodging one's job is just a charitable way of widening the job market?

What have you been smoking?

You're artificially depressing the quality metric for the job market you participate in (local / national / global), making potential employers search elsewhere, and so people around you have higher difficulty in finding the right job for them.

If you do this in your daily job, you're probably already being singled out by your team / team lead / reviewers / management. Let me guess - you're not taking part in any critical assignments do you? Have you ever wondered why?

The bar of ethics you represent by doing that would place you in the general category of "being an arse".

I don't envision a great future for your career mate.

You also decrease the value of the industry as a whole, leading to lower payouts for everyone.

@magicMirror ye, fair, that's what I did. It was tedious as f**k though.

@arcestor Go and try doing multiline bash scripts in YAML, I dare you.

It is _not_ the right format for that. YAML is meant to describe structured information, but, formally speaking, when it has no concept of the grammar of the script you're trying to put into it, you have to process your code into something that YAML accepts, which is a huge pain in the butt. That is, unless someone implements converting from YAML to the language itself, which AFAIR no CICD solution does.

Then there is the issue of every parser implementing details a bit differently (e.g. GL parser ≠ Python yaml module), error handling being non-existent (we have 50 years of formal language research that shows the right way to do it, most YAML parsers throw it out the window), and, oh my god, the security issues...

It's a bloated format that's still used _only_ because you can't template in vanilla JSON.

@magicMirror Gitlab linter message doesn't even show on which line it is failing.

What if my girl wants me to buy the card?

@filthyranter yeah, but it seems that the driver installer is asking for trouble there. It is reconfiguring everything on the machine that is in chain between CPU and GPU, including PCI bus, to which the drive from which it executes is connected (if I recall correctly).

The lengths to which I have to go to in order to play a few matches in Rocket League...

@filthyranter DDU disables that by default. Windows 10 messes up AMD configuration utility on my machine, and I've tried disabling everything related to updates - it still does that. It seems that it detects problems with the configuration and tries to roll it back each and every time.

4 kids? That's what I call an MVP contribution.

If one of the bricks wants to decide where to put them, make it AI research.

CSS 3 is actually Turing complete. Wondering how much time it takes for HTML to catch up 😂

If anyone would ever send any constructive feedback to ux designers and devs that wouldn't be required. Focus groups cost 100 times more than employing heat maps and keystroke recorders.

But why...

Huh, canaries for network.

The set_error_handler at the end feels like running into a wall...

Hollywood.

@illusion466 Most mathematicians I've seen start summation from i=1, that seems like a reason.

@johnyCodewalker yea, if you are trying to design a programming language for a mathematician instead of a programmer, which is already a weird decision in itself...

But yea, there are some valid reasons I guess.

Amen.

@dontPanic DRM requirements I reckon

And then there is that retarded Julia language...

Straisand effect at its finest.

"Database" entranced me.

As a guy with a background in music, and someone who will have to write a compiler POC latert this year - thank you, I don't need to look for a good name for it anymore.

I like the idea, but I think you are about to find out how weird the import system in python is. You probably will eventually reinvent tox.

Most of the problems here stem from pythons import system requirement to be backwards compatible. It's a core code issue.

Btw. If you are able to fix the absurdity with compiling c extensions on Windows, you would be a god to me.

Didn't expected anybody to make a followup to my sarcasm, but @github, you kind sir made my day

@cafecortado what's java?
