In my experience in the legacy world we have the isHighDate function which not only checks the constant, but also 5 other edge cases where the value isn’t HIGH_DATE but should be treated as if it is.

It depends on how you use the under floor heating. Some people use them like regular heating, where you turn it off and only turn it on when you want it to get warmer. In this use case the floor is warmer than the room and you will feel the floor getting warm. This is however not the most efficient way to use underfloor heating for rooms that are in use most of the time.

For rooms where people are most of the time, the most efficient use of underfloor heating is to have the water at the desired temperature all the time. That way it’s very easy to heat up the water, since if only needs to be a bit over ambient and only the heat lost in the system needs to be replaced. In this case the floor and the room become the exact same temperature and won’t feel warm. It just won’t feel cold, like the floor would without the heating.

Yeah those job hoppers are the worst. You can always tell right away what kind of person those are. I’ve had to work with a “senior” dev who had 15 years of experience and to be honest he sucked at his job. He couldn’t do simple tasks, didn’t think before he started writing code and often got stuck asking other people for help. But he got paid big bucks, because all he did his entire career was work somewhere for 2-3 years and then job hop and trade up. By the time the company figured out the dude was useless, he went on to the next company.

Such a shitty attitude, which is a shame because he was a good dude otherwise. I got along with him on a personal level. And honestly good on him for making the most he can, fuck the company. But I personally couldn’t do that, I take pride in my work.

Agreed. I wanted to test a new config in my router yesterday, which is configured using scripts. So I thought it would be a good idea for ChatGPT to figure it out for me, instead of 3 hours of me reading documentation and trying tutorials. It was a test scenario, so I thought it might do well.

It did not do well at all. The scripts were mostly correct but often in the wrong order (referencing a thing before actually defining it). Sometimes the syntax would be totally wrong and it kept mixing version 6 syntax with version 7 syntax (I’m on 7). It will also make mistakes and when I point out the mistake it says Oh you are totally right, I made a mistake. Then goes on to explain what mistake it did and output new code. However more often than not the new code contained the exact same mistake. This is probably because of a lack of training data, where it is referencing only one example and that example just had a mistake in it.

In the end I gave up on ChatGPT, searched for my testscenario and it turned out a friendly dude on a forum put together a tutorial. So I followed that and it almost worked right away. A couple of minutes of tweaking and testing and I got it working.

I’m afraid for a future where forums and such don’t exist and sources like Reddit get fucked and nuked. In an AI driven world the incentive for creating new original content is way lower. So when AI doesn’t know the answer, you are just hooped and have to re-invent the wheel yourself. In the long run this will destroy productivity and not give the gains people are hoping for at the moment.

Me and my brother once bought one of those Steam key mystery packs, it was only a few bucks and we did it for shits and giggles. The deal was we should each choose one of those games for the other and play them and at least seriously attempt to beat it if possible. The description said it included x amount of games with a value of at least x amount of dollars.

Turns out half of them were abandoned early-access games. Still for sale for way too much money. One of them was 49.99, which made the key bundle indeed be worth a lot. However the game was just an old Unreal project with some stock assets from the asset store. There wasn’t even a game really and it kept crashing. Last updated 4 years ago.

Really disappointing, we thought we would have some fun with unknown terrible games. But we didn’t expect them to be literally not a game. So instead we played Bad Way, a really fun but seriously flawed game. We had a blast.

Yes 4 identical sticks, same brand, same series, same type, same physical chips on the stick.

Depends a lot. If you are going from 2 ram slots in use to 4 ram slots in use, usually the max clock speeds go down a lot. So the performance will decrease for just about everything you do, whilst the use case for such a setup is very limited.

I have a couple of extra ram sticks to get from 32 to 64gb when I need it. I bought them because I was debugging a rather memory intensive tool. Not only did the tool run in debug mode, which added a lot of overhead. The memory profiler needed to be able to make memory snapshots and analyze them. This just about doubled the memory requirement. So with 32GB I often ran out of memory.

However my Ryzen 5950X does not like 4 sticks of ram one bit. Timings need to be loosened, clocks need to be reduced and even then the system would get unstable every now and again for no reason. So I pulled out the 2 sticks going back to 32GB as soon as the debugging job was done. They are in a drawer in an anti static bag, should I need them. But for day to day 32GB with 2 sticks is a much better experience.

I almost didn’t make it bois, but I’m still hanging on.

You are right, you can’t get dumber if you don’t use your brain in the first place.

Lemmy is better than Reddit in every way. This means the platform itself is better, but it also uplifts all users. This leads to better posts, better comments and better voting behavior. It also enhances the innate abilities of Lemmy users to be toxic as hell.

So what I’m trying to say is suck it bitch.

Agreed. The downside of community developed software is it can very easily die. All too often almost all of the work is done by one or a few very active people. When they stop working on the project it’s a matter of luck if someone is willing to take it on. I’ve lost more than a few good tools that way.

Instructions unclear, anyone got a good tip on how to remove permanent marker from my phone screen?

A Planck length is the smallest length possible, a smaller length simply can’t exist.

At least that’s what scientists believed until they studied OPs penis, then they found out something smaller does in fact exist.

So you’re saying Relational DataBase Management Systems do really well as soon as Relations are involved?

SHIT

Damn that looked even worse than I imagined it would. The movement doesn’t even naturally follow one shot to the next.
