blackbirdbiryani@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•How it started vs. How it's going9·4 months agoBut… bash snippet extensions already exist. The only difference is maybe it doesn’t auto name your variables for you. I’d take that over non-deterministic LLM outputs.

One thing that doesn’t seem to be mentioned is that practically everyone is cheating on online assessments when they can. I’ve personally seen probably 60% of my masters cohort cheat this way discussing exam questions on WhatsApp.
Grifting is so common and accepted in mainstream media people genuinely don’t see the harm in cheating during assessments. To them that’s part of the university experience, to win at any costs. And that’s why we have nitwits who cannot tie their shoes or write a for loop without having to ask chatGPT.
Anyway where I’m from many exams have returned back to in-person, which is a shame because online exams were so much more relaxing which probably gave a better assessment of people’s understanding vs their ability to cope with stress.
blackbirdbiryani@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•AI coding assistant refuses to write code, tells user to learn programming insteadEnglish71·4 months agoMy theory is that there’s a tonne of push back online about people coding without understanding due to llms, and that’s getting absorbed back into their models. So these lines of response are starting to percolate back out the llms which is interesting.

Tea has theanine which sort of counteracts the effect of caffeine, which is why tea generally has a milder effect. In theory if you switch to decaf coffee long enough you shouldn’t get withdrawals (which is dependent on the concentration/frequency of caffeine use).
blackbirdbiryani@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the worst thing you've seen Excel used for?4·5 months ago2024 lol. Maybe senior dev is an overstatement, he was just more senior than me. He also left a database where the main table had one varchar, freetext column that users wrote multiple fields into because it was a ‘simpler user experience’ . Was a pain to extract all those fields with regex…
blackbirdbiryani@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the worst thing you've seen Excel used for?19·5 months agoLmao. 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.

I cannot for the life of me get any of those dongles to work for more than 6 months. It always turns into a glitchy disconnecting mess.
blackbirdbiryani@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.ml•Why you’ll leave X (as well as Instagram and all the other private platforms)4·5 months agoYea it’s way too optimistic to presume these companies will not lash out in their death throes. They’d destroy as much as possible on their way out.
blackbirdbiryani@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Make your products in America or pay tariffs, Trump tells World Economic ForumEnglish16·6 months agoThey probably eventually plan to bring back forced labour. They ‘deport’ people, and when that’s too arduous, they’ll round them up in camps and make them work their ‘sentence’.
I don’t think they actually stupid enough to deport their low wage vulnerable workforce when they can just further exploit them.
Jesus christ it must be painful working for such a massive moron.

I use Dropbox too. Though I have to admit, when running code you sometimes have to pause sync otherwise it interferes with code execution. But definitely worth the peace of mind. Sometimes you don’t want to commit stuff until you’re sure that it works.
