Ich lese die als 🚓🚑🚒

Yeah, getting to a decent, conversational level of German isn’t that bad, but I think getting properly fluent is really hard

The Sting

Of course, but this assumes I know roughly what the text will look like that I’m searching for. If I already know what it will look like, I’ll use global search of course, but if all I know is that “at some point this element is put into the document” then I have no idea how that might actually happen. AI is just pretty good (ie succeeds sometimes) at generalising my words into a rough idea and searching for that.

I mostly use it as a code search tool, when dealing with large projects that I’m not very familiar with. Like I can ask “where is this component actually inserted into the web page” and it can sometimes point to a file and function. It doesn’t always work of course, but when it does it can save a lot of time.

I don’t ever let AI write code for me though

I genuinely do not understand the problem with white spaces that people seem to have. Literally any well formatted code will use whitespace for indentation.

I imagine that if python syntax was the norm and then a C-style syntax language appeared, the same group of people would be complaining “curly brackets? Who thought that was a good idea?”

Exactly!! Having each different part be different colours essentially breaks the code into larger “tokens” which is much easier to read than letting your eyes get lost in a sea of uniformity.

It’s not about knowing which colour is variables and which colour is functions. It’s about there being some contrast between them.

I’ve heard you aren’t actually supposed to, that it can be bad for your ears

Don’t be silly, you’ll obviously have your hands full defending your spleen from chipmunks, no time to dial 911

I’ve had one of these for probably 15 years now. Excellent tool.

Even Haskell is higher on the list than Go, which surprises me a lot

To Bavaria. I live in Allgäu now

I’m Australian, and I moved to Germany some years ago :)

The semi-logical reason that I leave so many tabs open, is that I do need/want the tab now, or in the near future, and keeping it in a tab is sort of like a sticky note to remind myself to do it. It rarely works though and just contributes to a growing sense of anxiety as I’m constantly stared down by a huge row of “to-dos”

How does that make sense, it’s just arbitrary numbers. I can give you arbitrary numbers for celsius too: 30 being hot but tolerable, 20 being perfect, 10 being cold but tolerable.

Yes but I’m trying to find positives for the OP, not negatives 🤫

If you are looking for silver linings, just look at the positive political effect trump is having in other countries, such as Australia and Canada :)

I think the question is not questioning relationships, but asking why a marriage itself is worth anything.

You can have a lifelong partner without being married to them

Some of my friends got married, and it was just people dressing nicely and meeting at our favourite restaurant to eat a bunch of delicious food. It was awesome.

I’m not even American mate
