Footage from a robot in skynet mode:

!it’s from the movie Runaway 1984!<

Hear me out, what about using JSON to store the configuration in the Python backend?

Cool, good to know.

I wrote a script to do backups on a ESXi it uses Busybox’s ASH, one thing I learned after spending hours debugging my scripts was that ASH does not support arrays so you have to do everything with temporary files.

It took a while for me to get it, but it still read ngnix as “n.g. -nix” in my head.

Never had a FB account never will.

Then you have to go into a resource file and find a very specific resource ID for your control panel string, and create a new resource ID to me it to.

Ah yes the joys of working with Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), Back in the day I supported a VS6.0 application, you have room for 65535 UI elements in an application (Including DLL’s) I had to split the ID’s up in ranges to enable adding new elements in a sane way.

Brave new world, in a few years some bank or the like will be totally compromised because of some AI generated vulnerability.

That reminds me of Illiad’s UserFriendly where the non tech guy Stef creates a do_what_i_mean() function, and that goes poorly.

I would say this AI function generator is a new version of: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DWIM

It’s called Rufus, for the ones who wonder.

I am sure I’ll use it as much as I use all the other assistants, never.

And the more corporate the organisation the more rules, at least the places I have worked trusts developers enough to give local admin, that takes the edge off many tasks.

I expect they compile it like this:

g++ HelloWorld.docx.cpp -o hello.exe

I prefer the multi thread problems that can be solved using queues.

Rational Rose etc. could generate code from UML diagrams, then you “only” needed architects.

In reality it only gave a little help during the design phase, as soon as someone touches the generated code, you have to manually merge changes to UML.

They look like some teenager were too eager with the slider during character creation.

Are there any of them that are both?

And 42 seconds in jython.

What about what I do: Just add . ~/.bash_BeigeAgenda at the bottom of one of the files, for all my own crap.

That’s easy you just use the huge number of test cases to ensure against introducing new bugs.

I was looking into learning COBOL some years ago, because i found that verbosity interesting.

And it seemed like there’s not many libs and toolboxes out there, compared to the major languages that has libs for everything, so I couldn’t really use it for small projects.
