My prompt was "Zeige mir ein Emoji mit einem Seepferdchen"

But you are right, tried it 3 times, first 2 tries were correct but ChatGPT then freaked out in 3rd try.

I tried asking the same question in German with ChatGPT and the answer is completely different. ChatGPT just correctly answers without freaking out.

Guess my understanding of how LLMs handle different languages was completely wrong!?

Here’s the German answer:

Leider gibt es kein eigenes Emoji für ein Seepferdchen — aber man kann es mit ähnlichen Emojis andeuten!

Zum Beispiel so: (Pferd + Fisch = Seepferdchen ) Oder eine kleine Meeres-Szene:

Möchtest du, dass ich dir ein grafisches Seepferdchen-Emoji (also ein kleines Symbolbild) erstelle?

I wrote a user friendly version of the release notes. Maybe this is useful to someone:

However LTS seems not be free but restricted to premium Oracle customers, see: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/eol-135779.ht...

The difference is that the JSX snippet is translated in plain JavaScript which means you can automatically check for syntax errors, type errors (when using TypeScript or Flow) and semantical errors (by writing simple unit tests), whereas the PHP snippet is just a big mess. JSX also runs on clients, servers and mobile devices which is a big plus to me.

This is fine:

  <?php
  if (condition) {
  ?>
  <div>whatever</div>
  <?php
  {
  ?>

this not:

  if (isLoggedIn) {
    return <UserGreeting />;
  {

We use Youtrack at our company. It's a fully fledged issue tracker with a lot of features, e.g. custom fields, top notch search, batch operations, keyboard shortcuts, agile boards, workflows via own DSL, reports and statistics etc.

Jest is pretty neat: https://facebook.github.io/jest/

Really? The new mobile Twitter site is super fast and reliable on my phone. The native app is still better but it gets really close in terms of performance and usability. However apps still have better OS integrations (notifications, sharing) and touch handling (swipe etc).

First the Russia doping fiasco, now this. I guess it's time to boycott those stupid money games...

Kotlin is currently my favorite alternative JVM language. Kudos to all collaborators for the great work. After 5 years of hard work, you finally made it!

Here's a little starter project for Kotlin webapps using Spring Boot and React.js, I made a while ago:

I guess it's just based on the Intellij Platform which is open source and also serves as the base for other Jetbrains IDEs like Webstorm or Pycharm:

- http://www.jetbrains.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=983889 - https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/tree/master/...

It already exists and is called the Intellij Platform. It's open source and the base for all Jetbrains IDEs, see:

* http://www.jetbrains.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=983889 * https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/tree/master/...

2 jetbrains devs work full time on a Go plugin for Intellij: https://github.com/go-lang-plugin-org/go-lang-idea-plugin

Wondering how much code in Intellij Ultimate is already written in Kotlin. Parts of Kotlin Code in Intellij Community Edition is still kinda low:

Dunno. I wrote the whole css for winterbe.com from scratch. To be honest I don't find both pages like similar besides white background and gray subtitles. :-)

Thanks for your feedback. I've improved the section about maps to better reflect the capabilities of streaming maps:

Most parts of software development probably is not about starting new projects from scratch but about maintaining existing code bases. That's where Java really shines due to its (often hated) backwards compatibility.

Dunno much about VC but the Xcode editor compared to Jetbrains IDEs (IntelliJ) is horrible, ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. I'm just talking about the code editor (storyboard editor and other tools are fine).

I'm missing Jetbrains code completion so hard and all those useful shortcuts like CMD+E, CMD+W, CMD+ALT+V, CMD+ALT+M, SHIFT+F6, CMD+SHIFT+UP/DOWN, CTRL+N, CMD+1..9, CMD+F9, ALT+SHIFT+F9/F10.

Guess I have to buy an AppCode license.

Here's a sample webapp using Kotlin, Spring Boot and React.js:

I'm missing M.C. Hammer from the older version. =(

Server code is spread across different languages. But every webdev is forced to use JS on the client. It's the sheer amount of people using this language.

Every time GitHub is down I'm peering at Upsource:

For JavaScript using Stream.js https://github.com/winterbe/streamjs

  var total = Stream
        .iterate(0, function (n) {
            return n + 1;
        })
        .map(function (x) {
            return x * x;
        })
        .limit(10)
        .sum();

I couldn't disagree more. In my opinion it's the most decent looking IDE / code editor I've ever used. Most IDEs are cluttered with a gazillion views. Intellij focuses on the code editor instead. You can hide everything but the code editor and keep full control via keyboard shortcuts.

Fork the code, create class AgentSmith and you're good to go. ;)

Do you remember the Matrix movie from 1999? The GitHub Matrix shows a constant stream of latest commits from GitHub in a Matrix-style animation. Click on the drops to open the corresponding revision on GitHub.

Seems to be some kind of text adventure game?

https://foobar.withgoogle.com/staticfiles/css/rhgame.e6cf5ce...

.console {}

.prompt {}

.terminal {}

.cmd .cursor.blink { -webkit-animation: blink 1s infinite steps(1,start); animation: blink 1s infinite steps(1,start) }

But it seems I've already failed before even clicking on the Login link:

<div class="error">...</div>

So you prefer to scroll down the landing page of amazon which is full of product advertising with your keyboard instead of having a sensible way of searching? Really?

At least the search should be focusable by pressing TAB once instead of 15 times, which is insane.

Clicking through categories takes way to much time. Just type in the search then use filters on the left sidebar to further tweak the results.
