Using AI on libraries you know inside and out (you know all the attributes of the classes you're working with and you know what the arguments are for every function) feels great. Using AI on libraries you're not familiar with will simply cause you to lose time because AI will give you code that returns different object types than the library is expecting. Then, instead of understanding why you're asking it to fix it, it will try variations of similar code and make up an excuse as to why now it's fixed, despite it having no clue what the problem was. Even if the code "runs" you'll have to refactor it anyways because code is not one size fits all.

It can be useful to sparking creativity but if you're not reading documentation you're just looking busy while not accomplishing much

    Uhhhh where are you getting this idea from? The left is mostly against the genocide and crimes against humanity that Israel is commiting. A lot of Jews are against Zionism. Antizionism and anti Judaism are two very completely different things and I'm worried you don't understand the difference

    There's a conspiracy that Jews basically hold most of the power in the world and have done so for a long time which is the perfect Boogeyman because Jews are ethnically diverse and ambiguous, indiscernible from a typical "white person"... It's not about hate, hate has to be targeted. It's about fear. Fear is the real center, the emotion that justifies hatred.

  • Not a Republican but a lot of notable right wing figureheads are speaking up about it publicly. People with actual power are making noise. Turning point USA which is basically the nonprofit PAC that the runs their local and national media circus has spoken against it. I think they're all realizing the idea is bigger than the leadership. They might be ready to cut ties

  • My immediate reaction is that the owner probably took the picture himself trying to go viral and immediately took it down. Nothing gets solved in this country anymore unless there's a dollar to be made and looking like a good person is somehow more important than being a good person. Why would the person even read it on the front door? Why not discretely package some food and put it next to the dumpster with a note stuck to it? Nothing about this makes sense when you analyze it. The few real heroes of this country are unsung, the rest is just virtue signaling.

  • It used to be a way bigger deal when computers were very memory scarce, if you needed to say, represent 1024 values, that means you'd use 10 bits or 2 bytes, the remaining 6 bits could be used to store other related information like flags but more often than not it would be waste (unused values that still have to be represented as 0s)

    These numbers are pretty arbitrary nowadays but they still show up a lot in computing. They didn't choose 256 so they could represent it in a byte, the real reason is probably that groups larger than 256 can't realistically be managed by users.

    That's my 2¢ anyways.

  • That's awesome, I love hearing stories like this. I was lucky to have access to a PC since I was about 8 years old and computer literacy is probably the most useful skill I have. Nothing teaches PC literacy better than pirating software with complex readmes lol or having to fix the family computer because you infected it with a virus. Had me stressing, looking at the task manager and searching for the origins of every .exe to find the culprit
