They don’t care as long as they can get in, make a few bucks, and get out. Long-term stability isn’t the priority anymore, just quick profits.

I see you’re prepared to take a whole bus load of people to Morganville. Nice

Well then you’re a mean old doody head.

Who says programmers don’t have a sense of humor?

No one. It’s just what you pretend people say to make yourself feel like some kind of special exception.

Nice to see a new verb used in a headline.

I love this way of thinking about it.

I haven’t been interested in AI enough to try writing code with it, but using it as an interactive rubber ducky is a very compelling use case. I might give that a shot.

I don’t think he is saying that an inability to differentiate between foreign languages is racist, but rather that given a random shithead who holds truly racist beliefs, it is unlikely they will be able to recognize differences between Asian languages.

To put it more generically, most people in Set A exhibit Trait B, but having Trait B alone does not mean you are a member of Set A.

These two are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

Oh my, what a throwback. Nicely done.

Your analogy is very incomplete. No one is saying that Intel’s products or technology is “moving backwards”, but rather that their market share and performance as a company are declining.

Take your person “standing still” and imagine they were previously in the lead during a marathon and suddenly stopped before the finish line. They’re not moving backwards, but their position in the race is dropping from first, to second, to third, and they will eventually be last if they don’t start moving again.

It’s all triangles.

Sure. They relate different properties of triangles or periodic phenomena.

But can you explain what a “sine” operation is actually doing? Algebra and calculus can pretty much all be explained in terms of basic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. But I’m in the same boat as @rekabis@lemmy.ca - trig operations feel like a black box where one number goes in and a different number comes out. I am comfortable using them and understand their patterns, but don’t really get them.

From the hovertext: “I wrote 20 short programs in Python yesterday. It was wonderful. Perl, I’m leaving you.”

After years of a dozen other languages, I finally tried Perl the other day.

Never again, if I can help it.

Working with small ESD-sensitive electronics and using a proper grounding strap and mat with large resistors in series to provide protection from shock? Absolutely.

Wiring up a car battery or working with mains power? Absolutely not.

Using multiple desktops may help you keep all those open programs more organized. :)

I use only use them at work. One desktop is for e-mail, chats, and my music player, the other has all the stuff I need for whatever I’m actually working on at the moment. If I’m switching back and forth between two unrelated tasks, I might use a third to keep everything for the two tasks separate.

Is “multiple desktops” different from virtual desktops? Because i’ve been using virtual desktops in Windows 10 for a while now.

Everyone at Mentor Graphics did before it got gobbled up by Siemens in 2017. I don’t know if they still do.

Nice work!

Without formal a formal education program, finding the right subset of a new skill or hobby is probably the best way to hook yourself in so it’s easier to keep at it long enough to really start learning. It sounds like concepts are finally sticking for you because you have an immediate and fun application for them.

I hope more people continue to find unconventional paths into the field like you did, keep going with it.

The ONCD said that software and hardware developers are best positioned to implement memory-safe languages

Very insightful. I thought plumbers would be the ones handling it.

“Nah, I’m not soliciting. I’m trying to give you a free quote on new windows for your house”

“No, I didn’t see that NO SOLICITING sign posted two inches above the doorbell”

SCREAMING BABY IN THE BACKGROUND BECAUSE THE DOORBELL WOKE HER UP FROM HER NAP “Do you have a minute to talk about your cable provider?”

The difference between fault and responsibilty is definitely something I plan to teach my kids from an early age.

If someone rear ends me when I’m driving safely and following all the rules of the road, it’s not my fault. But it’s still my responsibility to get insurance information, arrange for car repair and transportation, reschedule appointments, etc. I don’t get to just walk away and hope everything takes care of itself.

It’s just one of those unfortunate facts of life. Everyone has to handle things that aren’t their fault sometimes.
