  • My new favourite is asking GitHub copilot (which I would not pay for out of my own pocket) why the code I’m writing isn’t working as intended and it asks me to show it the code that I already provided.

    I do like not having copy and paste the same thing 5 times with slight variations (something it usually does pretty well until it doesn’t and I need a few minutes to find the error)











  • I believe the folder you are attempting to refer to is for all users so you probably do want to have the config in ~/.config unless you want everyone to have the same. Also /home is the directory that includes all users respective ~/ directories so use ~/ when referring to your own home directory.

    Edit I can’t figure out the formatting. My client is showing <sub> where ~ should be.

    But the CPU would be thoroughly confused in many cases. Like if you added a number with a string. This means low level tools have too and therefore people who do low level programming are confused and the generally carefree has rules can make it difficult to debug js.

    Also I think rust making you write “safe” code unless you explicitly tell it otherwise is a great thing.

    So I think that tools telling the user that they’re doing something wrong is great, tools telling the user to stick with physical limitations for better performance are completely valid but what js does seem really weird with having constants be reassignable, making them nothing but labels combined with HTML I find it even more annoying.



  • Maybe a social interaction manual would be an idea.

    I honestly try my best to be helpful in most cases but if were something related to a specific program I would suggest reading the manual because otherwise I’ll be the one doing it for them. If necessary I’ll show them where to find the manual and how I normally look through it.
