TimeSquirrel@kbin.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•Stop using gitlab.com for projects - Credit card info required for new registrations5·2 years agothe beginners who try it are constantly asking questions about why their generated code doesn’t work
Because it ain’t here to generate all their code for them. It’s a glorified autocomplete and suggestion engine. When are people gonna get this? (not you, just in general)
I use CoPilot myself, but if you have absolutely no idea what you’re doing yourself, you and CoPilot will both quickly hit a dead end together. It doesn’t actually understand what you want the code to do. Only what is similar to what you have already written or prompted for, which may be some garbage picked up from a noob on the web somewhere. Books and research using your meatbrain are still very much needed.

TimeSquirrel@kbin.socialto politics @lemmy.world•Old Guard soldiers charged with stealing pride flags from Arlington home1·2 years agoThere ya go, good for developing hand-eye coordination, upper body strength, and fine motor control. Archery is a fun and wholesome hobby.
TimeSquirrel@kbin.socialto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Says America Is Over 'As We Know It' if He Can't Do Crimes While in Office2·2 years agoI still think it’s incredible that we just willingly hand these randomly elected fuckers the buttons to the ICBM arsenal with the most minimal of checks. Did the possibility for an unhinged president never enter into anybody’s mind?
I had to start using my damn phone alarm again after my useless Google speakers failed to trigger them a couple times. WTF, do they save the alarms on the cloud or something? Seems like something that should be running locally and should rarely fail, it’s a damn alarm, not a Space Shuttle.
TimeSquirrel@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•My jaw hit the floor when I watched an AI master one of the world's toughest physical games in just six hours52·2 years agoI’m ASD and I’m also human, gimme the cold hard facts so I can absorb them like I do everything else without having to strip the clutter. Everything else is useless to me.
TimeSquirrel@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Why It Was Almost Impossible to Make the Blue LED9·2 years agoI made a hobby PCB with indicator LEDs and I have to admit that was the reason for my choice. The surface mount frosted “milky” ones look especially great, where they have the diffusion layer so it’s not a harsh glare.
TimeSquirrel@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Why It Was Almost Impossible to Make the Blue LED9·2 years agoOpen source software solves that kind of hidden bullshit.
“I am willing to give your lives to the cause.”
TimeSquirrel@kbin.socialto politics @lemmy.world•Old Guard soldiers charged with stealing pride flags from Arlington home8·2 years agoThis is Arlington VA, a very densely packed urban area. You don’t want bullets flying everywhere.
What if your eyes don’t turn red anymore? That’s a thing. I can be high as balls and nobody would know until I open my stupid stoner mouth.
TimeSquirrel@kbin.socialto politics @lemmy.world•Russia deploying Starlink in Ukraine—reports412·2 years agoI suppose nobody read the article before pulling the “Elon bad” trigger (I get it though). This is happening the same way Toyotas end up in the hands of ISIS. They’re being smuggled through all kinds of back channels and the true account user is not the same as the account owner.
I don’t think this is one we can fully blame him for. These Starlink systems are just too convenient and useful for a less advanced military to not try to take advantage of it somehow.
TimeSquirrel@kbin.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•Microsoft Says VS Code Will Work With Ubuntu 18.0420·2 years agoI feel very strange hating Windows, so I use Linux, but loving VS Code, so I use that on Linux. I feel like a hypocrite or something.
But the integration with platformio, github copilot, and all the plugins and customization are just too nice. It’s a one-stop shop for everything dev-related. It’s the only thing I need to run when programming along with a web browser for research.
TimeSquirrel@kbin.socialto politics @lemmy.world•‘A Palpable Fear of Even Letting Your Friends Know You Are a Democrat’5·2 years agoHalon was invented to save expensive electronics in server rooms from water damage. It’s actually deadly to people if you’re trapped in a room with it.
I hate that these are our priorities.
Also where TF you buying $8.99 pink dress, socks, AND hair dye? Thrift store?
TimeSquirrel@kbin.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•Why hasn't anyone built an entirely free computer yet?12·2 years agoThis isn’t you, is it?
It took a while as a guitarist/keyboard player just learning and starting out to realize how fundamental it is. I kept trying to turn up the low end of things in the mixer in my software to compensate without realizing what I was missing.
Me at 14 trying to recreate my favorite palm-muted metal strumming patterns from songs I know: “what the hell why does their shit sound so good and thumping and my shit sounds like AM radio static in a tin can?”
Me, many many years later: “BASS! IT WAS ALL MISSING THE FUCKING BASS!”
What about videos of Biden and Trump eating spaghetti?
