I avoid anything written in Python. It’s not the language at fault it’s the ease of entry so you get a lot of low quality software.

I hadn’t appreciated OP was just spamming links to their own blog

This is hardly politics and has been covered endlessly in tech communities.

.io domains aren’t going anywhere. There are too many of them to safely migrate in a reasonable timeframe and too much core infrastructure is tied to them.

Both GitHub and Rust use .io for core infrastructure.

They might close registration of new domains but not renewals

There have been so many announcements that a release candidate of a release will be coming out /soon/. It’s utterly pointless non-news.

Please can this drivel be banished.

Wait until 3.0.0 is actually released and then post it for discussion.

Their delivery range is quite limited.

Nah, unfortunately it’s been fed stack overflow. So instead of having a wealth of alternative solutions to a problem it just tells you your question is a duplicate and refuses to help.

I’ve found that just asking “did you make that up again?” after every response improves the quality of code Chat GPT produces. It seems to pick up fairly quickly on methods it just invented.

You’re probably out of luck. I’ve been trying to avoid amazon for two years but all the other options suck. I’m constantly chasing missing orders and returning items because they’re just not as described.

Amazon revolutionised the customer experience and apparently nobody else has even bothered to try and mirror their formula.

I’ve had the polar opposite experience. The last few series haven’t been great. I don’t think I even finished the last two. But this cast have brought it back to life.

Andy Zaltzman’s ridiculous humour is such a good for for the show. In another life I think he would have made a superb taskmaster’s assistant.

Rosie Jones has been a real surprise. Her humour doesn’t usually work well on panel shows but Taskmaster seems to have the right pace for it and her wit really shines.

They give incremental discounts each time you renew so even if the price increases you’ll probably find you’re spending less each time.

Jetbrains licenses are like £100 a year. What commercial project isn’t able to cover that cost.

Indeed. Most of my skills are self taught but I suspect that’s because no one ever taught in a manner that suited me.

I need visual and/or practical learning. Somebody talking at me just doesn’t work. I lose interest or don’t absorb the material. Slides or scribbles on a whiteboard help a bit but teachers and professors are severely lacking in visual communication. They certainly aren’t going to create graphics and animations like this video which clearly and concisely express the concept.

I’m sure every generation says this but…

Kids these days are so lucky. They have access to so many incredible learning resources. If your teacher sucks or expresses concepts in a manner that doesn’t work for you then all you have to do is check YouTube for an animated lesson that breaks it down at a pace you’re comfortable with. Or just speed it up/slow it down/skip back and forth to suit.

It’s just the natural evolution of language. Rules become loser over time

Doesn’t Lemmy support cross posting?

I considered implementing Lemmy comments and theorised I’d post to my own community/instance so I had full moderation control, then cross post that to all the relevant communities.

This really shows how antiquated a lot of our rail network still is. I wouldn’t have believed this were still possible. We’ve had safeguards to prevent this kind of issue since the age of steam.

I’m going to hazard a wild guess that privatisation and tory cuts are the ultimate cause of this.

This has been one of my biggest frustrations while learning Rust. I’m coming from .NET which has an incredible wealth of official System and Microsoft libraries all of which are robust and well documented.

Rust on the other hand has the bare minimum std library, with everything else implemented by the community. There isn’t even a std async library. It’s insane.

Even the popular community libraries are severely lacking in documentation or inexplicably unmaintained.

Rust has a ton of potential but it desperately needs some broad funding to align the fundamentals to a decent standard.

There is a hell of hype but some of it is justified.

Chat GPT is really good at explaining stuff. Try asking to explain inventory capitalization, and just repeatedly ask it to explain it simpler and simpler and simpler. Then ask why repeatedly. It has a hell of lot more patience than a human and the client is going to be far less embarrassed repeatedly asking an AI than a human.

I’d also expect it to be pretty good at picking out relevant case law if to feed it a specific issue. However, where issues will arise is it will just make shit up at some point and it’ll seem absolutely legit so you’ll accept it without question.

A quick glance and this seemed nothing to do with self documenting code and everything to do with the flaws when code isn’t strictly typed.
