The project was most of the grade, you need to pass the test on top of it, and the grades we got for the project were shite because the same guy was responsible for the maintenance of the dockerfile.
This semester i was responsible, and all pf his past tasks were trivial on top of my past ones, which i already remembered how to do, of course the project wasn’t entirely the same, just required the same things mostly.
A series of 52 if statements is plain irresponsible though lol.
In the same vein, previous semester in Uni, we had a team project, not something too big, just very rushed.
At one point we were to contact a tcp server with JavaScript, send a one off measage, and return the reply, as the tcp server was a backing service.
My dumbass project partner has made a new server for it, just for being in the middle, so he wouldn’t have to check how to make a single tcp request using async, he fluffed it up calling it “The Middleware” like anyone was going to respect it, and it took him almost two weeks working on it.
Wish i could just take that task away from him but it was his ONE TASK, and i had many others, safe to say i had to retake that course. Which is honestly humiliating since that course barely thought me anything to begin with.
This semester the task popped up again, took me half an hour to have the gist of the task down, in 12 lines of untyped JavaScript, ~120 with JSDOC types and convenience functions, didn’t take much time at all.
Imagine wasting two weeks working your ass off because you can’t be arsed to learn a simple concept, I’m sure he was grooming his own ego with the AI about how smart his implementation was, it required an extra dockerfile, documentation for it, and testing was out of the question because the code was utter garbage.
Sadly this is pretty accurate, i am studying Software Engineering in uni and everyone is using LLMs except me, and i really wish i wasn’t alone because I can’t even trust anyone to help me with homework, if someone uses an LLM i can just forget about getting an explanation for why a specific step in a mathematical proof is used, so instead It’s almost like I’m studying alone.
I really hate this, now my degree will be equated to those of others who just used LLMs to do their homework, and can’t explain much shit themselves.
I can see that, personally i dislike using C++, as it has so many different ways to solve the same problem, confining a project to use a specific subset of C++ is very difficult.
Though mostly what i would like to be closer to other languages, is what is mostly standard across everything, like tuples, so i wouldn’t have to do:
Err fallible(Arg argument, Out* output) { ... }
But at least attributes allow me to warn if the error in this case is unused.
Thing is, C can compile to anything, so i wonder if Zig/Rust can really be a drop in replacement in most use cases.
I didn’t have that take away from the above comment, so that’s fair enough, i just thought the way it slows you down feels better than how other games do it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Saw a video recently making an argument about how Minecraft is designed with automation in mind, not in a good way, as in it expects you to make an automatic farm for too many resources, which makes exploration redundant.
The person who made the video made a modpack to revamp the game, instead I’m going to recommend another game i like, and hope you’ll like too, as it respects your time more, even though progression is slow.
Vintage Story, a hardcore survival, it makes you take more time when progressing, but everything is more meaningful and has more intent.
As an example, you can make things out of clay, not by simply putting it in a crafting grid, but by molding a few voxels at a time, so you’re most likely to use it to pass the time, if there is need to wait for something to cook/smelt. Same goes to smithing, and cooking, it makes doing chores more fun, you don’t have to hurry to complete the game, just progress a few steps at a time, this makes exploration a core part of the game, and mandatory.
It’s made with love, and i think that too is very important.
I don’t know if I’d assume the same about them, as the way the argument was worded made it seem the new features aren’t a positive, or are broken in some way, or at least gave the appearance of the actual reason being technical and not skill.
I was originally thinking of the use case for C is when you need to have something in a closed ecosystem, as in no dependencies, so generics made sense as an example, and while I’m aware one can use rust, it usually enables (and in a sense encourages) pulling in many dependencies, which is not always desirable.
That’s very fair for the linux kernel, I’m aware that they use more modern features of C, though i have no idea to what extent.
It was part of the inspiration for asking this question to begin with.
If you’re willing to share, are you talking about embedded?
The graph is still approaching zero, it’s only stable because it’s so close already
Very nice read, the code examples were very clear :)
and megabool::Statistics
10° Celsius?!
How many were active during biden’s campaign, how many did he not shut down?
Why was nothing done about abortion rights?
Why did he support (and not just “not being vocal” about) the israeli state during an active genocide?
Your “blue team” is just as complicit.
The electoral system also gives that lesser evil legitimacy, insert robot voice: "they were voted for democratically, these protesters all just hate democracy and {country.capitalized()}!".
In all seriousness, what you are putting forward requires actual resistance, not just marching in the streets like is too common nowadays, but actual efforts to make it hell for people in power, and it actually makes it harder if the people in power can make you look unreasonable because you voted for them.
Fucking classic
Yeah it’s just a problem of generating a diff and having a quick look /j
I’d say 2001 and 2006 purely because the scrollbar is textured in a way that make it seem dragable at first glance |=|.
Which is standard by now but still, besides that 1998 has all the other visual cues to denote what’s clickable and i would otherwise agree as i generally prefer flatter designs.
Yeah a good spicy soup does not take that much effort, and i live in a one room apartment (😭) and my kitchen has exactly one stove top (also 😭).
Also south asian spices is a must.
Succs to succ.
