It’s not just about git. It’s also about issued, PRs, comments, security advisory, and so on

I self host forgejo. GitHub is the better service because of their super fast ci servers, the GitHub actions that just work, and also because collaboration is tied to the network effect

All scripting languages are programming languages but not all programming languages are scripting languages

I give you that, true. I wish vim had PCRE

No. Learn it properly once and you’re good. Also it’s super handy in vim.

Makefiles require tabs. Spaces don’t work. I hate it.

Compile your kernel with a different version of ld then shipped with your distro. I have this right now in Debian testing and it’s enraging. I’m not even sure if that’s the source of my error

Tried it on my laptop. Doesn’t work at all

For rust at least, those are packaged in Debian and other distros too. I think rustup is in Debian Trixie too.

Millions are probably insufficient.

My thought exactly. Apparently people are using that stinky site for something that’s not just porn?

Here it’s “j’adoube” with heavy German accent

Making an analogy where Linux is tiktok is wild.

Electric drums are not a piano though. Getting drum pads (or pads in general) to work correctly can be a bit weird.

I seem to recall that it was convention for all drum pads to always be on midi channel 11, so even if your device normally outputs in channel one, it does that. Maybe try to set it to that? But it’s a long time ago that I’ve worked with that so don’t quote me.

If it’s a midi keyboard, it should be pretty easy to get working. No problem if you got a DAW definitely, but I’m sure there are enough programs that can play piano sounds at midi input.

And midi is mostly just USB nowadays, so connecting should be easy enough.

If it’s not a midi keyboard, it should have its own speakers, otherwise what’s even the purpose?

It’s 8

Conditional adder:

if x==1:
    return 2
else if x==2:
    return 3
...

That’s still insignificant compensation

I understand some of the hype. LLMs are pretty amazing nowadays (though closedai is unethical af so don’t use them).

I need to program complex cryptography code for university. Claude sonnet 3.5 solves some of the challenges instantly.

And it’s not trivial stuff, but things like “how do I divide polynomials, where each coefficient of that polynomial is an element of GF(2^128).” Given the context (my source code), it adds it seamlessly, writes unit tests, and it just works. (That is important for AES-GCM, the thing TLS relies on most of the time .)

Besides that, LLMs are good at what I call moving words around. Writing cute little short stories in fictional worlds given some info material, or checking for spelling, or re-formulating a message into a very diplomatic nice message, so on.

On the other side, it’s often complete BS shoehorning LLMs into things, because “AI cool word line go up”.

Look up unlimited money limited. It was a real company
