Okay, but just to be clear, the problem is not that it can’t do a timer. The problem is that it claims to be able to and even produces a result which looks plausible. It means, you cannot trust it to do anything that you can’t easily verify. If they could fix that overconfidence in a year, it would be much better.
A few years ago, there was someone from the customer side who was learning to code, and I was the most seasoned dev in that project, so it was kind of expected of me to give mild feedback when the guy presented what he had coded.
And yeah, at some point, the guy showed off around 2000 lines of Python code in a single function. He explained the whole lot and I just sat there like, what the fuck, I don’t understand a thing.
Thankfully, I wasn’t expected to give much feedback, so I just told the guy that modularization would be important. 🥴
I would’ve loved for this to not be a customer situation, so that I could bluntly tell the guy that this seasoned dev is completely flattened by the complexity he deals with, because becoming good is about managing complexity rather than expanding your brain to fit all of it in there.
I’ve been wondering, if you could combine LLMs with a logic programming language like Prolog. The latter is actually able to reason through things, you “just” have to express them in Prolog facts and rules.
Well, from doing a quick online search, I’m most certainly not the first person to think of this, which does not surprise me at all…
I can imagine there being a correlation, because there’s no reason to be outspoken, if you’re not embedded in a context that would push religion onto you, which includes celebrating Christmas.
I had a friend in university, whose parents immigrated from a secular region of East Asia, who was equally as atheist as I was. But while I arrived at that position after years of learning about Christianity, as well as peer pressure and self-reflection, she didn’t go through any of that.
She couldn’t have an opinion about Christianity to be outspoken about, because Christianity is just a random fandom as far as she’s concerned. She’s not particularly interested in it, and that’s all there is to it for her.
And then, yeah, while I’m obviously much more outspoken than her, I’m not outspoken against doing a celebration in winter. Because I’m embedded in this Christian context, my parents want me to visit for Christmas, so I guess, I celebrate Christmas. ¯\_(⊙_ʖ⊙)_/¯
Yeah, I can understand the frustration when an external decision forces you to disappoint some of your users, but ultimately you have to pick your battles. When neither the Python nor Rust ecosystem thinks those platforms are worth supporting, it’s probably not either worth it for you to worry…
Oh man, you keep finding these hex values in other places. I assumed the author of this particular theme just made them up, based on what they thought looked good.
And yeah, that is wild to me, that it passes a contrast check. I’m far from having the worst eyesight and still find it needlessly difficult to read.
Yeah, I do customize the themes like that, too, usually also #ffffff for the foreground or vice versa. It would just be nice to not need to maintain my own themes. 🥴
I try to kick my circadian rhythm with ample light, so for that I switch between light and dark theme more or less around sunrise/sunset. Staring into a bright screen with light theme isn’t as bright as being outside, but then I can at least also turn on all kinds of lights or sit outside somewhere, without it being as detrimental to readability as it would be with a dark theme.
I guess, what really bothers me here in particular is the extra low contrast. The background does actually use the correct color, that you point out. But the foreground/text color is #654735. That’s brown:
I don’t know where that color comes from. None of the original Gruvbox colors are that. It is dubbed as a “Gruvbox Material” theme. I do have opinions about the new Material You styles having shit contrast. But I don’t believe, it’s supposed to be quite as terrible either.
And well, yeah, I do usually end up modifying the Gruvbox themes to just set background to #ffffff, foreground to #000000, or vice versa for dark themes. It does work quite well IMHO, which is what makes it all the more frustrating that so many Gruvbox-like themes choose to go the other way.
As far as I’m aware, it started out with a Vim color scheme, which looks like this:
https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox
And yeah, that’s just become a really popular theme, which got ported to virtually anything that can be themed.
Personally, I really like the color palette, but not that so many takes on it have text that’s horrendously difficult to read…
And 3 months later, i have not booted it once
Oh man, I know the feeling. It took me 5 months to remember that I had a Windows partition.
It was so important to me, to have a way back (which is fair enough), and then I just completely forgot about it.
It’s Apple’s programming language, kind of intended as a successor to Objective-C.
From what I hear, it’s actually decently designed and has quite a few similarities to Rust. Still not sure, how great it is outside of the Apple ecosystem…
My instance went down, so I’m way too late to make this joke, but anyways:
We’re not cantankerous, just a little …crabby. 🙃
I hear, it helps with saving up for treatment by not paying for nudes. 🥴
Gonna be interesting, if they spontaneously decide they wanted to open-source all along, like how LLAMA did back then…
The shape kind of reminds me of those hearse cars:
Considering their policy for the majority of their existence has been that open-source is cancer, it might as well be viewed like that. Just buy the central open-source exchange platform and slowly make it worse to hurt all of open-source.
Yeah, I might block a contributor on sight, if they post something like that.
Damn, makes it look like little gremlin hands…
