Again, "Trump is worse!" Then blocked🤷🏿‍♂️

https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/@steter/112402055418029413

Gotta respect the doubling down! Replying to me posting some dude saying "Trump is worse!" then blocking me, with saying "Trump is worse!" then blocking me too! The commitment to the bit is impressive!

Listen, you can get as mad as you want. You can call Black folk criticizing Biden "Bitching" if you want. We're still going to do it.

The CDC under Biden dropped the Covid isolation period from "5 days" to "vibes days." Not Trump.

@andytiedye @cam @mekkaokereke I believe there are a couple of stories of reformed trump voters so yes, statistically insignificant numbers 😀

I hate how it's all about the mythical swing voter and never about the disenfranchised, apathy etc. Democrats basically run so they can blame POC for when the lose instead of actually trying to win

    This is one of the reasons why I’ve been steadily moving away from TypeScript. Something like this—where an ergonomic feature fails because TypeScript has wrong types—happens ALL THE TIME. The more you work with the DOM the more often it happens. This is obviously frustrating and adds friction

    But it also calls its very purpose into question. If TS is getting so many things wrong why should I trust its assurances about correctness or the presence or absence of defects?

    My iPhone case broke yesterday, using the phone without a case for the first time. It really is terribly designed, it's so slippery I can't rest it on anything. Can barely rest it in my palm without it sliding off

    Kubik is the first Ethiopian startup to attract over $5M for climate solutions. They turn hard-to-recycle plastic waste into low-cost, low-carbon, interlocking building material by removing environmental waste and creating ultra-durable, safe, affordable buildings.

    I wonder how they solved fire safety, plastics tend to be discouraged because of that afaik

    Assertion: it is more difficult to review and fix LLM-generated code than it is to write the code correctly yourself. Using AI to generate code is transferring the intelligence of coding from writing to reviewing.

    @shac basically you can't use AI for anything you can't write yourself. Goes for code and text

    recursive, (edited ) to random
    @recursive@hachyderm.io avatar

    I was thinking of making a list of types of software that most people think is "too difficult" and they leave to "the experts", e.g.:

    • geometric modeling kernel
    • integrated circuit floorplanning
    • cryptography
    • compiler backends
    • database query planners
    • electromagnetic simulation (antennas, transmission lines, microstrip design, etc)
      ...

    Oh, it's all applied math.

    (As an aside, I just want to note that there's some really difficult work to be done in accessibility and UX too.)
    [1/?]

    Paxxi,
    @Paxxi@hachyderm.io avatar

    @recursive I think it's pure logic combined with societal factors.
    For every compiler backend engineer there's 10-100 000 crud developers. Combine that with bad math teaching and how math is treated in general and you basically end up steering people away from math heavy topics.

    I don't have a CS degree and math is by far my weakest area

    @thephd Please tell me you got rid of #define in C23, yeah? Please, like for real, maybe?

    Sigh, I'm trying to extract one function (and support) from the musl library and convert it into C#. I've been feeling fairly confident about it, though concerned about the volume of code and wondering if my original approach might be "good enough".

    Still in an explorer mode, I found what looked like functions turn out to be a macro. NBD. Then a macro to a macro. Then 3 layers deep.

    I'm crying.

    @uss_oatmeal @thephd the trick is to google the compiler flag to save the preprocessed file during build and then use that 😀

    Paxxi,
    @Paxxi@hachyderm.io avatar

    @uss_oatmeal @thephd you need to use wsl or msys2 I guess. Makefiles are fairly thin wrappers around shell/binaries and tend to be very much unportable 😀

    If you're thinking about nmake it won't work unless musl provides an nmake specific makefile. Some projects call them vc6 for some reason

Likewise, Tesla has just announced plans for a European Cybertruck tour. But, just like in China, the EV pickup cannot be sold in the EU.”

    @regehr it starts slow and you don't really get the back story that makes it fallout until quite late. Probably worth rewatching it just because of that

    Created an issue https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/101837

    For everyone that calls for ways to make open source more secure, or for all their magical solutions that will provide money and resources to FOSS maintainers, please read this.

    This is a rare account of the reality of maintainers, things that are hard, but also how much knowledge and niche expertise you need for anything in there.

    That is why just giving money to experts will not help that much. It is too hard to train experts in this. But we may make it easier
