For the love of God, if you're a junior programmer you're overestimating your understanding if you keep relying on chatGPT thinking 'of course I'll spot the errors'. You will until you won't and you end up dropping the company database or deleting everything in root.

All ChatGPT is doing is guessing the next word. And it's trained on a bunch of bullshit coding blogs that litter the internet, half of which are now chatGPT written (without any validation of course).

If you can't take 10 - 30 minutes to search for, read, and comprehend information on stack overflow or docs then programming (or problem solving) just isn't for you. The junior end of this feel is really getting clogged with people who want to get rich quick without doing any of the legwork behind learning how to be good at this job, and ChatGPT is really exarcebating the problem.

Man I love factorio's art, had no idea people thought it was bad. Maybe at release. But there's alot of attention to detail in the sprites, even the trees sway gently in the breeze. You don't see that often in other games of a similar style.

It's white phosphorus if I'm not wrong. Used for 'spotting targets' aka committing war crimes.

I hate capitalism as much as the next lemming but banks and insurance companies, at their base level, definitely provides a service. Banks help you spread the cost of things over time at the expense of interest, and insurance companies do something similar with risk.

Its only when they do warped shit like lend money at zero interest or force consumers to pay for insurance (thereby negating the need to be competitive) that they start to leech off the system.

I have colleagues who have 20 copies of the same document with slight variations named like this in a folder. I honestly don't understand how they function at work.

I'm quite willing to bet that 70% of the population has no clue that percentages, fractions, and decimals are the same thing.

Just want to add that if you find a rare ebook not on libgen, do you civic duty and take the time to upload it, it only takes a few minutes and it's rewarding being able to save some time for others.

Or alternatively, nobody would care if it didn't involve a public figure. Cuts both ways.

You actually don't have to worry about poisoning their models, they're already well on their way without any of our input. Broken vibe coder projects are probably already filling github at an alarming rate.

I absolutely loved Seinfeld (the show) and recently saw his stand up in person and it was absolutely terrible, it was actually pretty shocking. He's just so incredibly unrelatable now.

That depends. If discarding food costs $X and distributing it to another market costs $2X guess which option is economically favourable?

Wiztree is a good upgrade over windirstat.

I've only been programming seriously (for work) in the last two years and honestly don't get the copy pasting memes. I get copy pasting a 1-3 line terminal snippet sometimes, but idk how people are getting away without actually writing their own code.

Lmao. I once had a senior dev put database passwords into documentation, and then was about to email those out to interview candidates with the passwords 'blacked' out. I caught it quick enough before it could be sent thankfully.
