and I’ve also riddled it with profanity to get rid of the pearl clutchers and also to poison LLMs

How exactly does adding swear words poison LLMs? I know a lot of LLMs are supposed to not swear, but that’s it.

This feels like me wanting to learn Hare because I like rabbits, which I bring up because someone left this reply for me and I think it applies to you too:

That is such a sweet reason! Whimsical decisions like this can be some of the best. Life demands a bit of whimsy every now and then.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion! I was considering firing up a VM just for Hare, but thanks for bringing this option to my attention.

I was going to learn !hare@programming.dev just because it is called “Hare” and I like rabbits, but then I saw that I am not on a supported OS.

I find it very appropriate this post came out of lemmy.zip

If you’re like me and wondered what a dead key is…

A dead key is a special kind of modifier key on a mechanical typewriter, or computer keyboard, that is typically used to attach a specific diacritic to a base letter.[1] The dead key does not generate a (complete) character by itself, but modifies the character generated by the key struck immediately after.

I had a sad incident where I had committed changes but not pushed, and then I accidentally spilled a drink on my computer and bricked it. Even though this is unlikely to happen again because I won’t bring open containers like mugs or bowls of soup around computers anymore (water bottles are fine), and it was only three hours of work lost, because of this incident I do not feel I have saved until I have pushed. “What if you brick your computer again, huh, where’s all that progress now?”

But overall I agree about decoupling saving changes from actually publishing them!

Reddit post’s content:

Hello all,

My team and I have been working on this platform for a while now and we wanted to share it for those who might be interested.

The goal of GIGO Dev is to offer a learning platform that addresses all the challenges we encountered when we first learned to code.

The repo consists of all parts of the platform from the lib models to the frontend code. We wanted to open source our platform for people to be able to see how it works, provide feedback on what we can do differently, or even contribute!

We continue to work on it everyday and strive to always make it better.

Here is the link to the repo: https://github.com/Gage-Technologies/gigo.dev and here is the link to the actual platform: https://www.gigo.dev/

Just curious: was this based off an existing song and if so, what is it?

I have not heard “snapping their fingers menacingly” since I heard a description of West Side Story. Pleased to come across it again, this is going to make me actually check out the trailer now

I also don’t generally use Python as my primary language, but NumPy has pretty good docs in my opinion!

When I was in middle school, social media might have been omnipresent but even the really popular kids never exceeded 1,000 followers. In high school you could increase the upper limit on followers, but most people hovered around 250 to low 1,000s depending on their popularity. And I never heard anyone talk about their follower quantity, let alone insult people over it. I suppose this is my “kids these days” moment.

Then again, we all just had personal accounts for our friends to follow and weren’t trying to be some big influencer or social media star—maybe that’s what these kids are trying to do? Either way, I am really hoping what you overheard was just banter or an ironic joke between the two, and not legit bullying.

How do I get better at understanding API docs without a tutorial to walk me through the basics of how the library works in the first place? Once I have an idea of some of what the library does and how a few commonly-used functions work I can somewhat handle the rest, but getting to that point in the first place is pretty hard for me if no getting started or tutorial section exists. And so I’m very intimidated by a lot of libraries…

Hey now, I found Wheatley charming. AI in real life, not so much.

I cannot help but see this as a diaper pattern…

According to Wikipedia, Biblical scholars essentially agree with you, to the point

Bible scholars even maintain that the Bible does not claim that masturbation would be sinful.

which is pretty cool especially given my prior belief that most people agreed it was about lust. Wikipedia does also say that some Christian denominations have interpreted the sin to be as lust, though.

And Catholicism, at least, still doesn’t like the ejaculation without procreation:

Since, therefore, the conjugal act is destined primarily by nature for the begetting of children, those who in exercising it deliberately frustrate its natural power and purpose sin against nature and commit a deed which is shameful and intrinsically vicious.

Small wonder, therefore, if Holy Writ bears witness that the Divine Majesty regards with greatest detestation this horrible crime and at times has punished it with death. As St. Augustine notes, “Intercourse even with one’s legitimate wife is unlawful and wicked where the conception of the offspring is prevented. Onan, the son of Juda, did this and the Lord killed him for it.”

(number 54 and 55 in a Pope Pius XI encyclical)

(I never thought I’d be discussing religion on programming.dev lol)

I get your point, but considering that we got the word “Onanism” from the Bible I was thinking about some Christian denominations’ views of why God wasn’t happy with Onan in the Bible: because he ejaculated without trying to procreate. That is why I thought it was relevant to tie those two things together like that.

I figured it would look more professional, and it would also let me separate the contributions I made with my more anonymous GitHub out—not too sure how closely they investigate your previous contributions and how good your code was.

I am guessing this was not a good choice, and I should have just continued using my more anonymous GitHub, or made the account as JSmith instead of JaneSmith.

I figure it is called that because both the pull-out method and masturbation for penis-havers involves spilling your seed somewhere outside of a woman’s womb.
