It’s called recall or something. If you are trying to find something you saw before but can’t remember, it remembers for you.

Copilot, what was the video on Pornhub I saw a few months ago, with the brunette who looks like Jessica from accounting? And she had like 4 guys in her at once and was eating spaghetti?

“how to problem solve” and “use logic” are, I believe, myths. When you teach someone to implement quicksort, all you’ve done is taught them to implement quicksort. Classroom based lectures and rote memorization do not impart any kind of broader “problem-solving” ability. This is an ex post rationalization by the perpetrators of the education system to justify their own existence. I place the value of what they do very low

If it’s about problem solving and using logic, why do we need to memorize quicksort? That’s not an example of using logic or problem solving

I want the ability to fully detach each view, pin/unpin, etc. like I can in visual studio.

I guess what I want is visual studio, but with the language and plugin support of vscode.

Maybe “blocky” isn’t the right word, but I dislike that everything is just a flat rectangle and not very readable. There’s no depth and very poor visual separation. I would like a document type UI where I can rearrange the components arbitrarily, like in Visual Studio

Trump accidentally inventing cassette futurism because America becomes too poor to afford anything built past 1999

Man do I hate discord though

I use it as a form of google, basically. I ask it coding questions a lot, some of which are a bit more philosophical. I never allow it to write code for me, though. Sometimes I’ll have it check my work

When I was 16 I could get 4 or 5 people to come over to my house on a week night with almost zero advanced notice. I am now 30 and

1. I don’t know 4 or 5 people

2. It would take 3-4 weeks to get everyone’s schedule to line up

3. Half of everyone would cancel because they didn’t feel like going out

My company told us we need to get prior approval before using AI tools at our company

I’m kind of done with my boycott era

When I work on web projects at home I don’t use any javascript at all. Just html and css. Interactions are handled via form submission. I’m working on a forum in asp.net mvc without any javascript at all

Straight up though the world peaked in the 2007-2010 in terms of culture. Everything has just gotten significantly worse since then and I feel bad for the zoomers and gen alpha who have to grow up in the 2020s

At work everything I do is in the Javascript/Web world. Typescript backend, webpack react, etc. I use C++ and C# for personal projects because I personally despise Javascript world

Im not an evangelist for windows (I won’t try to convert you) but I’m unashamed of being a software engineer who uses Windows as my main dev platform

I have literally never seen whatever this post is referring to

I think if they were using windows they’d be far more computer literate, but they’re just using iPad and chromebooks

No it’s just that Zoomers only use touchscreen, which are vastly simplified devices compared to a desktop computer

I’m also a software engineer and I can’t stand most other people in this field. I got into this field because I love computers and was tweaking garry’s mod scripts when I was 12. I read scifi books and enjoy reading about the lore of the tech industry.

I would estimate that AT LEAST 75% of people in this industry are ladder climbing yuppies who got into it for the money. The gym rat, tesla-driving podcaster types who have invented their own language about syncing up, achieving alignment, creating action items and eating dog food. And for some reason they’re all into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Lex Fridman/Joe Rogan

I do not socialize with my coworkers because they are the most obnoxious fucking money-obsessed pieces of shit I’ve ever met
