You can help yourself a lot here by making commits every time you make a meaningful change. A feature doesn’t need to be complete to commit major checkpoints along the path to completion. That’s what feature branches are for. Commit often. It’ll help you think of messages, and it’ll help you recover in the case of catastrophe.
There’s a bigger issue than your commit message if you don’t even know what you just coded and are committing.
Code comments are useful for browsing a script and understanding it at a glance. I shouldn’t have to scroll up and down across 700 lines of code to figure out what’s happening. It’s especially useful with intellisense, since I can just hover over a function and get a tooltip showing the comment, explaining what it does. It also helps when using functions imported from other files, since it’ll populate the comment showing me what parameters are needed and what each should be. Comments save time, and time is valuable.
I’m out of the loop. What happened? Did someone decompile their code and find definitive proof of a throttle for Firefox?
Also pushing pop-ups everywhere, except this time they’re part of the site and we can’t easily block them.
Well that’s handy. I wonder what determines if it can relaunch a program or not. Does it retain your actual work state though, or just relaunch those programs? On my MacBook if I tell it to restore stuff when I shut down then it takes me back to exact same state, sans some VPN logins. Unsaved text editor files will still be there, whatever I had open in vs code will be active, all my browser tabs will restore, etc… It acts more like a hibernate than a shutdown.
Shutting down and re-booting doesn’t retain your active work state. Mac OS will at least launch everything you had open if you want it to, but Windows (at least up to 10) has no such feature.
That’s an important distinction. Whenever trillion dollar tech companies say they’re not going to do something hugely unpopular and selfish because of public sentiment, what they really mean is they’re not going to do it right then. Instead they back off, do something like this to get everyone’s attention focused elsewhere, and then they’ll push the original unpopular idea anyways, but quietly.
They backed off their web drm, because it was hugely unpopular, but also because they remembered they own chromium and can just disable adblockers directly. They tried to over-engineer something that requires everyone else to adopt a new standard, when all they ever needed to do was use a sledgehammer.
I don’t want to block things people post on Twitter about subjects of interest, I just don’t want my feed constantly flooded with news about Twitter.
It’s frequent enough that I still see a lot of posts despite having filters for “Musk”, and “Elon Musk” and “Twitter”. I figured I probably can’t block “X” without blocking a lot of unrelated posts since it’s just a letter in the alphabet. I wonder if that was intentional.
They don’t want the possible negative backlash of being associated with unhinged extremist bullshit. If unhinged extremist bullshit was popular enough to be profitable then they’d be all aboard. Corporations do whatever is profitable.
That is not what this is about. This is about if humans perceived actual human faces more human than AI generated faces. The result was that humans perceived AI generated faces as human more often than they perceived actual human faces as human. So clearly the technology does work.
That human female 84% is pretty cool looking.
And those are enormous advantages. It will also get you a lot more jobs. I see Java jobs everywhere. I barely see C job postings at all.
JavaScript. I can’t think of anything else that can be used for everything. It’s a back-end language, a front-end language, it can be used for styling and animation, it can be an OOP language or a scripting language, and can make database queries & submissions. Is there another language that is as versatile for website development? I can’t think of one.
The problem with tweakers is that they feel so good, every stupid idea they have feels like a breakthrough. Okay, there’s a lot worse problems with them, but that one is relevant. They have stupid ideas that they think are brilliant.
Right? Oh, you need 5 hours worth of work done 1 hour before the end of the day on Friday? It sounds like you should have planned better. Have a nice weekend!
