@davepl1968 @ThePrimeagen A British way of saying "GPT" as in "ChatGPT"
English
I hate to inform you all, but I was not invited to the Gipidy party

@michal_jares @outrage70 @zuhaitz_dev They are both nightmares to build.
Not every project, but so many get lost in configuration hell that the label is deserved.
English
@outrage70 @zuhaitz_dev I have the exact opposite experience. With C# everything works and Java has so much bloat and randomly named tools that I struggled to get it built.
English
Ngl, at first I hated Java because my dad is a Pythoner, but then after learning C++ and C I saw Java and I felt disappointed.
And I'm not a big OOP fan, but it's not that bad.
Joel 🇦🇺@ptr_to_joel
you can measure how good an engineer is by their opinion on the jvm / java
English
@svgmzr @outrage70 @zuhaitz_dev Works until you have to get the project to build on the new hire’s machine…
English
@outrage70 @zuhaitz_dev Weird. .NET documentation is excellent and it also "just works" with a much nicer language
English
@zuhaitz_dev OOP is hardly the deciding factor of whether to use Java.

@FrancescoCiull4 @VBragilevsky I am really enjoying Rust.
Frankly, for std environments like linux, I only like it for terminal apps.
But I am learning no-std Rust as I am learning embedded, and it is PERFECT for this. Chef’s kiss!
English
My Rust book is on its way to reaching 1000 copies sold (844 a couple of days ago).
And it has been the #1 bestseller on Amazon for "parallel computer programming."
Link to the review by @VBragilevsky below.

@lauriewired The Postgres mascot, Slonik, is more better. And he represents a worthwhile stack piece!
English
man, I don’t code in PHP but tbh the mascot is so cute it kinda makes me want to
look at this little guy

@lcamtuf Not a big hurdle.
I imagine if you got people to rewrite coreutils in C again, there would be MORE issues.
The swap is still going forward in 26.10 🙂

@JohnDoritosKane @KarenPayneMVP Openai is projected to still have $14 billion losses this year
A successful IPO will give them more temporary runway, but if Musk’s lawsuit is partially successful it could tank the IPO
Better not to allow vendor lock-in in the first place! MS does the same thing over and over
English
@DevMagister @KarenPayneMVP Prices did recently skyrocket. It seems to be normalizing across the industry. To be fair, Microsoft's docs did say special Copilot pricing was for a limited time, and I enjoyed taking advantage of that.
English
Rather than getting in a tizzy about the cost of GitHub Copilot, consider writing code as you would before AI and use less costly models for most work.
English
@JohnDoritosKane @KarenPayneMVP Yes, and Claude Code can also run other models, but that is not the question.
More importantly, Claude Code can also run custom in-house models (via Ollama, LM Studio, etc).
With copilot, you will always be paying microsoft, and prices will soon skyrocket. Enjoy!
English
@DevMagister @KarenPayneMVP Copilot agent runs frontier models such as Anthropic Claude Opus 4.x like Claude Code does. Other than the cosmetic and permission prompting differences, I haven't noticed any major code quality differences when the same LLM is used no matter through which agent.

@davepl1968 Before they invented hands we had to increment the abacus by blowing on it like the big bad wolf

In the 90s we'd walk every path in the debugger in asm. Partly because we didn't have source level debugging...
Ivan Rouzanov@ivanrouzanov
In OS development we absolutely do review compiler output by reading assembly. Not every build, but in general - yes, even though it is highly accurate and deterministic. For security fixes, I used to read both assembly and disassembly of the final fix.

@davepl1968 @gator_gum True, but it also isn’t fair the Rhode Island has 2 Senators for 1 million residents.
English
@gator_gum That's why America has Senators, with equal representation in each state.
Would it be fair to make Alaska and its oil beholden to the whims of the entire nation? Like you do with Alberta, I mean?
English
@davepl1968 @HappyMotorhead You take that back!
I loved my manual transmission diesel Jetta.
The only manual where you don’t need to hit the gas pedal to move forward in 1st gear from a stop! Good luck with short on-ramps though…
English
@HappyMotorhead Anything with a base 90hp engine should be ashamed.

Nearly 43 years old and still looks better than a new Tesla.
Do you agree?

@hoff_world Hoff World is on Twitter now!
Teach us more about embedded, there is not enough wholesome content here.
My pan/tilt servo tracking algorithm sucks and I don’t know why.

@DerrickEvans4WV And I think I am finally done with you. Unfollowed, go fuck yourself.

This is interesting. Would you support Tucker Carlson if he runs for President?
Polymarket@Polymarket
BREAKING: Tucker Carlson hits all-time high in the 2028 Presidential Election odds, as he teases a potential run. 7% chance.

@skdh @kareem_carr This unironically the worst affliction I have ever heard of. ☹️I am sorry for your loss.
English
@kareem_carr I can eat neither onions nor garlic nor beans nor mushrooms...
English
I feel much better since going gluten-free, hopefully soon I'll be fully back to being annoying. But I struggle to get my daily calories together, there's only so much butter I can put on rice before it gets disgusting. Please let me know if you have suggestions... 🙏

@tsoding How can tou rename a file that doesn’t exist?
Surely it means create the file if it does not exist
English
@schteppe Therefore, languages should not default to undefined behavior, and should instead have defined behavior for most or all usage of the language.
