I might make that my first coding project after I retire. I bet I can code up a global import that implements “ON ERROR RESUME” in a couple of modern languages…

He led the retreat that saved our town!

LibreWolf is nice.

Good news, everyone!

MyPy - Optional Static Typing for Python

That’s legitimately a good reason. They can pry my C from my cold dead hands…but someday someone will have to. May as well think about what that should look like.

Thank you for your (digital preservation) service (to future generations)!

They need to identify threats to Texas democracy: specifically anyone who turns off their TV during an episode of Walker: Texas Ranger.

Yes. It is very little, very late.

But it was a huge quality of life relief to me, when I still had a Windows install to deal with.

winget ships with Windows by default, so it is a particularly good option for folks who don’t want to modify their Windows computer much, or have limited permissions.

I understand that Winget is based on chocolatey to some degree.

Thank goodness.

Additional analyses show global stocks of fake accounts are highest for platforms such as X, Uber, Discord, Amazon, Tinder and gaming platform Steam, while vendors keep millions of verifications available for the UK and US, along with Brazil and Canada.**

Interesting stuff. I would guess this accounts for why products with only 4 stars on Amazon are so often shit. Real consumers only seem to affect the last star out of five.

Ditto, pretty much.

Holy hand grenade of Antioch!

Yes. I’m inclined to avoid Cloudflare, if I’m able, for now.

Cloudflare feels like they’re doing the same kind of “were too big and cool to pay our staff or think about uptime” that I’ve been suffering from under AWS, recently.

Haha. Yes, I’m looking for a DNS service, at the moment. Thanks anyway!

Thank you!

Thank you!

I need to find out more about Minecraft and hosting a server sounds like a good idea

I’ve hosted both Minecraft and Luanti (free open source Minecraft). Either is a great idea!

That said, I found setting up a Luanti server slightly simpler (because no need for everyone to have a Microsoft account, and no Java dependencies to worry about): https://docs.luanti.org/for-server-hosts/setup/

Luanti has lots of options, but a good default choice is Mineclonia: https://content.luanti.org/packages/ryvnf/mineclonia/

I actually start out with a solid mental model of what I want to do, ending up with small unit tested classes/functions that all pass code review.

You said elsewhere that you’re not correcting the AI, haha. Sounds like you only don’t need to correct it because you’re guiding it away from it’s own weak spots.

So don’t sell yourself short.

The AI hate here is because it is oversold to people who will only make a mess with it. It can be lovely in the right hands.

It’s mostly in the wrong hands, today.

As a matter of fact, I can’t even remember the last time it happened when programming.

AI can only generate the world’s most average quality code. That’s what it does. It repeats what it has seen enough times.

Anyone who is really never correcting the AI is producing below average code. (Edit: Or expertly guiding it, as you pointed out elsewhere in the thread.)

I mean, I get paid either way. But mixing all of the worlds code into a thoughtless AI slurry isn’t actually making any progress. In the long term, a code base with enough uncorrected AI input will become unmaintainable.
