It hallucinates greatly about many things when I ask about C++ things. Things that you can easily find the right answer in cppreference or by just inspecting headers in your own IDE.
I had to Google and it does look like it, I remember the computer would boot into it and it also had space for a few (three?) icons outside the tabs (like in the “desktop”). It was a cool interface!
Do you have that Windows 3.1 version that came with the Compaq that had the DE that was like a paper folder instead of an empty desktop, and that you could put the icons in the different tabs of the paper folder?
> That’s because the preview making things faster isn’t just the difference between finishing something sooner or later. It’s a difference of doing something or not doing it at all.
A project at work had the client ask for realtime interface - in the sense that updates instantly to configurations - exact because of that. We came up with a faster way to calculate things and a simplified mathematical model, the idea is after some experiments are done the defined settings are explored in more thoroughly runs for sensitivity analysis of different parameters. The client ask for the preview was exactly because of the belief that no one would care if things weren’t instantly shown, as they thought the idea would be harder to sell for upper management.
One approach you can use is to ask it to never write the code for you, which forces it to explain and then once you try the idea by coding yourself you get a better understanding of it. I use this approach with code I am required to maintain. It still bites me sometimes because the models still mixes a lot of incorrect information (usually just stuff that was correct in the past but is incorrect now). For throwaway and easy to verify scripts I ask it to generate, but I do ask to avoid over engineering and trying to catch all corner cases cause in scripts I prefer just letting things error as they are better understood as a step that failed. I also avoid languages I find hard to read (like powershell) and prefer to generate things that are short to fit in the monitor so I can read everything and understand (python, bash, batch are my goto scripting languages).
I also reuse a lot of my own code. Either from libraries I built or just directly copy pasting (like boilerplate code for setting up the basics of something in my style).
Raspi5 has a pci connection for ssd hardware add-ons, I use one and it runs fine with a 2 TB one, I just let it on forever. This has been on for almost a year currently without issues.
I am curious if such thing happened, how would Chrome sustain itself as a company. I imagine Google would pay a hefty contract to it and keep their control, or some other actor would do and change the actors in the problem, but keeping it.
Hey, I also remember Launchpad and Bazar, and adding an individual new source to my apt. Launchpad had something like CI before everyone from what I remember.
I think org chart the impact is how the individual person can advance their career while doing good work. If they only get rewarded for new things, service and maintenance suffers.
CMake is a bad example, you can build latest CMake and run it on Debian Jessie. It will work perfectly. CMake is the thing you can build on really old compilers.
> push it to the master branch and close the PR than puppeteering someone halfway across the globe through GitHub comments into doing all of that for me
While I understand the sentiment I am glad I got into open source more than fifteen years ago, because it was maintainers “puppeteering” me that taught me a lot of the different processes involved in each project that would be hard to learn by myself later.
I feel like if I start something from scratch with it it gets what feels like 80% right, but then it takes a lot more time to do the last 20%, and if you decide to change scope after or just be more specific it is like it gets dumber the longer you work with it. If you can think truly modular and spend a ton of time breaking your problem in small units, and then work in your units separately then maybe what it does could be maintainable. But even there I am unsure. I spent an entire day trying to get it to do a node graph right - like the visual of it - and it is still so so. But like a single small script that does a specific small thing, yeah, that it can do. You still better make sure you can test it easily though.
