Yeah, that’s really annoying with Linux filemanagers

Just tell me when you’re done and not when the file is completely written into cache, that doesn’t help me in any way

I love my Linux, but it’s really annoying to open a terminal to run sync, just to be sure

Ah, thank you!

I’m completely with you regarding ssh/scp
But I don’t know what you mean with mbuff (guess, memory buffer?)
Haven’t found anything with a quick search, but as I often need ssh/scp to work through customer VPNs, everything that makes that faster or more stable is a very welcomed thing :⁠-⁠)

Scrolled a bit further and found this intriguing game

That’s all correct and true

I was on a business trip, very sleep deprived and needed a fast solution

So, I guess, this was the tool for the job

Probably it got lucky, because with other things it just fucked up after that
So, my trust into it is nil
But for quick scripts, that would take me much longer to build, it’s working

But I’m also usually using local models

I’m aware of their power and water consumption, and you’re right in that

Edit: and besides the environmental impact, which I don’t use them often or only locally, I’m still a tech guy and want to know, what they’re actually capable of
Which still isn’t much and I don’t see LLMs getting better with more complexity

There are to many problems
We have programming languages for reason, because they’re mathematically sound and not ambiguous
Human speech just isn’t and that’s already the point, why LLMs can never really work for that

But I was surprised, that it once came up with a solution to filter my log files and calculate some statistics out of it
And I have to give it that

Yeah, same here

I needed to calculate some statistics from log files and that would have taken me ages - mostly because my sed-/awk-fu is lacking

But with AI I got a script in half an hour - after correcting it a few times - and it is reasonable ok enough for the job

I tried to refactor a really large spaghetti state machine with AI, but they’re all failing, because it’s too large

It’s nice to get boiler plate code written, but when it comes to overview of logic on a large project, they obviously can’t keep up

As you said, it’s a tool. But just like with any tool, you shouldn’t use it for every use case

Nah, they introduced mandatory drinking breaks, so they have another slot for advertising

I’ve worked years in vim with plugins, but keeing it up with plugins working, that are not maintained anymore was quite a pain.

It was the most perfect IDE I had though.

After that, I’ve tried CLion, because I quickly needed something that worked with really large projects.

But with every update it got worse.

Currently I’m on zed and kinda happy with it.
There is still some stuff I’m missing and their focus on AI seems to overpower necessary features like multi windows - which is my main concern, as I need those badly.

But I’m too over worked to actually setup a new vim/neovim environment and don’t really know where to go…

Edit: many co workers went to VS Code, I’m spoiled with the search function of CLion.
Editing interfaces just by searching and replacing/extending existing code was a breeze. Didn’t find this anywhere else…

Yeah, this can even be sold so billionaires get even richer!
And as the governments will pay for it, we all automatically pay for it
How sweet is that?

Probably only if the AI can do it…

Arch is great in my opinion

I’m not sure, if it was just my young age/experience with Debian, but now with Arch I could always save a system. With apt I sometimes preferred a complete re-install.

I actually really like Arch(& Arch based systems).

If that is the public opinion with C++ and Arch, I’ll need to re-evaluate my masochistic tendencies, it seems

Hehe, cheers ;⁠-⁠)

And I fucking love it

I hate java with a passion, C# was fun (but at that time only available through the .Net nightmare) and I grew up with (Turbo ;⁠-⁠)) Pascal and C

So, I’m feeling rather comfortable and at home with C++

I’d like to do a bigger project in Rust once at least, but with my current project already the compile times are between 20/25 to 45mins (depends, if you have the build server available or if you need to make up with the IPC).
so, I guess, those iterations would become even longer with Rust

But I’m also having the advantage, that my applications are running very, very isolated. So I don’t really need to take care about exposure and attacks.

Still… Finding a memory leak or some shared memory fuck up is everything but fun…

Especially as most of the logic runs in kernel space and debugging possibilities are mostly reduced to traces/log files

Still, I love it
Maybe it’s because of the thrill ;⁠-⁠)

I do remember it as worse, when it was Windows 98 and Win 7 - not even taking about the horror that Win 8 resembled

And coming back to it from time to time, because I need it for a stubborn program (really, Datalogic, get your shit together) or because I need to help family, it has gotten so much worse since that…

Yep, a clean build often got rid of the weirdest bugs I had, because some shared memory was misaligned, because, as you said, because of compile optimization, some parts didn’t know about the changes

Is it just me or is the results output kinda spammy?

I mean, I’m all for information and stuff, but do I really need to know the regex?
I’d love to have this as an option, when I think, that the tool provided a false positive, but for routine checks, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed

More interesting it would be, to just show me the parts, that are seemingly an issue and some description, why it is an issue.

With that output, I’ll probably have an easier time just checking the config file myself

But maybe, that’s just me…

I liked Gnome2, but never got the feeling for the current generation
Especially on a laptop I love tiling window managers, like i3
Not needing the mouse for basic things is really nice

I’ve pretty much stopped using windows 20 years ago - besides needing to boot it up to have some weird configuration program (looking at you Datalogic!)
I’m still “the computer guy” in my family and everyone comes to me with their Windows boxes or iOS phones/tablets, but I have absolutely no clue what I’m doing there…
I’m always astonished how much more shit Windows got in those years.
Even assigning a drive letter (which is already a stupid way to extend storage, compared with just mount points) isn’t that easily set anymore.
At least it took me 20-30mins to find the option.
Changing IP addresses also seems to be highly technical and must be hidden.

Don’t know what they are going for. You can make stuff easily useable, but still give options to change the defaults.

Same here
Wouldn’t be able to do my work with VPNs to access customer networks and the machines there

Politicians talking shit about something they don’t understand as always
Just trying to get the masses on their side with the “think of the children” and “porn == bad” argument, using the publicly barely understood abbreviation VPN

Fucking assholes - as sadly, they aren’t idiots that don’t know what they’re doing
