I already hate people who send voice messages in a world where dictation software exists. I hate whoever even thought of joking about this even more.
But dictation software would omit crucial parts like ummms, coughing etc
Dude you’re not thinking about it the right way. We can define a new multi byte character set to help define mood (both speaker and listener), intention, irony, sarcasm, sincerity, bodily functions, and so on. This is a solvable problem.
You missed a /s marker
I assumed it was obvious because honestly who would do that
Yeah, you🚽 might💨 be💩 onto😌 something💦
!Tried to emulate it as I wrote the above content while taking a dump!<
I have literally given up friendships from people that wouldn’t stop sending me voice messages.
I accept it from family, kids, the elderly and such. I just can’t believe people want me to turn off my music and slowly listen to your shitty voice when I can easily multitask.
I just never set up my voicemail. Then people who actually have a chance of successfully contacting me know not to even try the phone.
The dictation software we have is pretty shitty though. It almost always needs proof-read, or re-dictated several times to get it right. At that point you may as well just send an audio clip.
Until the day that dictation software gets it 100% correct, it’s not going to be worth my time.
For now, the human on the other end will always have an easier time understand an audio clip than a machine, because human minds are more capable of using context and getting past regional accents.
Most of the times I get a voice message it could be written in two sentences, but they still decide to make it a two minute voice message. Just a lot of useless stuff added for free
I always try to think about what I’m writing before sending it, you can’t proofread an audio message
Sorry, hon. It’s hardwired into humans to add in code for “I am alive and not cackling mad or suicidal yet today” during “conversations.” It would probably be more effective at screening for bots than captcha, but not as good at training bots.
I hate it
But all the extroverted programmers will love it
Imagine spending HOURS listening your colleagues comments… I quit.
You know someone on the team (probably me) that is gonna pontificate TF out of the comment too and you’re gonna get a 10 min diatribe on a 5 line function lol
Ah yes, source code files that aren’t plain text and can only be opened by certain editors, exactly what the software industry needs
All my comments would just be Rick Astley
Right all we are missing now is videos in comments.
Let’s turn github into Instagram. Every snippet of code has to be attached to a picture or video…
This interface is brought to you by World of Tanks!
I would enable this in my project so I can ban any contributor who submits an MR with it
Fantastic idea but I don’t think it goes far enough. Why stop at comments? I want to be able to write whole functions and classes like that!
We should make it like Star Trek where you can create entire holodeck programs with just voice commands.
ffmpeg is now a dependency of gcc
I am deaf. i already struggle with keeping up with subtitles on tutorial videos of some obscure stuff that has little to no docs. Kindly return this idea to a void function instead and try not to catch the erroneous thread with these satanic proposals.
