Shash to search is a Vim keybind.

When servers say “just eat at home if you don’t want to tip 20%”, do they realize this is the exact same energy as “just get a real job if you can’t afford your bills”?

Yes exactly.

“Implement a first order lowpass filter in C”

LLM has no issue.

“Implement a string reversal function in Wren”

LLM proceeds to output an unholy mix of python and JavaScript.

Even though the second task is trivial compared to the first, LLMs have almost no training data on Wren (an obscure semi-dead language).

Hope are you finding work right now? Shits rough out here haha.

I’ve been an engineer for over a decade and am now having a hard time finding work because of this LLM situation so I can’t imagine how a fresh graduate must feel.

I agree, the terminology used gives it away.

Kinda hard to find jobs right now in the midst of all this but looking forward to the absolutely inevitable decade long cleanup.

This is an actual problem and causes headaches for a lot of beginner programmers. The only solution aside from finding well written guides, is to just look everything up as you go like you are reading a legal text or something. Eventually it gets better, but also doesn’t because programmers are terrible at naming things and making assumptions.

Pretty sure that’s incorrect.

The common type of floater, present in most people’s eyes, is due to these degenerative changes of the vitreous.

Siiiiick

This is a neat idea and it will totally work, but they need to be the EXACT same files down to the checksums and file names. This could be harder to pull off than it sounds but it’s absolutely possible.

This whole “boss loves ai” trend is the ultimate cringe.

Wtf is this so though? I hate this trend or having to stop working every 2 seconds to prove you are working.

It’s not tough.

Look them in the eyes like a human being and say “sorry dude, not today”.

Alternatively just carry small amounts of cash to give to them.

Another alternative is asking them if they would like some food instead.

No matter what you do, keep in mind you are very likely a small step away from homelessness yourself.

Have they said that queer stuff is inherently NSFW? I haven’t seen that said anywhere and don’t think it’s the case.

I just checked and the “LGBT” and “LGBTQIA” flags are 100% functional right now.

Obviously if they did say that queer stuff is inherently NSFW that would be a big problem.

Itch.io just banned lgbt content at the reauest of payment providers

Do you have a source on this? Everything I have read from them so far about the news today makes this sound like a temporary problem that was out of their control.

This is a time critical moment for itch.io. The situation developed rapidly, and we had to act urgently to protect the platform’s core payment infrastructure. Unfortunately, this meant it was not realistic to provide creators with advance notice before making this change. We know this is not ideal, and we apologize for the abruptness of this change.

We are currently conducting a comprehensive audit of content to ensure we can meet the requirements of our payment processors. Pages will remain deindexed as we complete our review. Once this review is complete, we will introduce new compliance measures. For NSFW pages, this will include a new step where creators must confirm that their content is allowable under the policies of the respective payment processors linked to their account.

I’m pretty confident they will get this sorted out. It doesn’t seem like they have any intention of banning nsfw content.

Edit: I’m responding here about NSFW content because I was confused. I don’t think Itch actually ever banned queer/LGBTQ content in any way. The recent drama has been over NSFW content specifically so I assumed OP was specifically taking about NSFW queer content.

Steam / Valve doesn’t care if you pirate games as long as you don’t involve their servers. This is a pretty known / accepted fact.

If you really are worried just install a different OS on steam deck and don’t use steam at all.

I don’t think I would personally really consider using windows for anything these days. Semi-ironic to be concerned about steamOS spyware when you are comparing to windows which for sure has spyware.
