What kind of maniac posts a screenshot of their code instead of the code itself to ask for help tho

Someone fishing for compliments about their IDE setup

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I only accept photographs of the screen

Make sure to print them out and re-photograph them on a wooden table!

Uses vim

copies console text feed

Evil knows no bounds >:)

With embedded terminal escapes? True evil indeed.

Indeed, how else will everyone see my glorious solarized light theme?

On stackoverflow, they will answer aggressively: "Don’t post picture of code

[–] [email protected] 57 points 11 months ago

That's like common sense

Finally a good answer on that website

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Then, to fix it the user paste the code as text but with awful formatting. Then get another aggressive answer: "** DAMNIT, FORMAT YOUR CODE**"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Then, when it's properly formatted, CLOSED AS DUPLICATE

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Just run it through OCR. Super efficient! 😅

Just leave it there tbh

If you send me a screenshot of your code I'm not helping you, sorry.

[–] Luvs2Spuj 15 points 10 months ago

Seriously, what the fuck kind of animal does that.

IDEs are bloat. I write my code using command line and concatenating each line into the file.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Please, that’s way too high level, I move the file to a hdd, pull it out and then use a fridge magnet to change individual bits. Works like a charm.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

Why write code when you can turn the transistors on and off yourself? I have a few thousand buttons connected to the CPU, and some homies and I open or close them on each clock cycle to feed it different instructions and inputs.

[–] marcos 15 points 11 months ago

Oh, finally an ed user!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Haha teletype goes clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick

I use light mode. Compliments are not forthcoming.

I love how you nailed the early 2000s shitty IDE aesthetic 😍

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

It just needs dark mode to turn it 2020s

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Oh my goodness, is that BlueJ? I haven't seen that thing in ages...

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago

Please, make sure to ALWAYS include line numbers.

Makes discussion much easier

[–] scottywh 17 points 10 months ago (4 children)

You guys use IDEs?

/me coding in notepad

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Can I tempt you over to Notepad++?

[–] scottywh 4 points 10 months ago

I know it's been around for a long time now and offers some features that people like but I'm completely content with the simplicity that notepad provides.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

I spent 45 mins with ChatGPT trying to give me the quick resolve for something querying with M.

It ended with me telling ChatGPT that if it worked for me, it would be fired because it kept trying to reoptimise my query, resulting in syntax and load errors, then "fixing" them by ignoring my query's criteria.

I ended up going old school and taking an extra 30 mins to just figure it out myself. Now that I know how it's done, it's surprisingly easy to understand.

So I took that as a compliment; or ChatGPT just sucks at PowerQuery.

It probably learned, though. If anyone has transform queries around multi-level filtering criteria and ChatGPT helps, that's because of my suffering.

Does chatGPT really learn from user inputs? I thought it was always restarting from the same base

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

In each session, the last several thousand words (from the user and AI) are kept in a context buffer to be used as additional inputs for the neural network. But I don't think ChatGPT lets you choose the AI's responses for that buffer, so you can't really "train" it in any sense of the word. If you want that functionality, use LLaMa.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

It will eventually incorporate user inputs in the model. So yes it won't learn in real time from other users, but at some point those inputs will be fed back into itself.

[–] dylanTheDeveloper 6 points 10 months ago

What kind of monster screenshots his code (I mean Unreal blueprints I understand out of novice) but actual C or java code!?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

you should avoid posting pictures of code tho.

[–] quadropiss 2 points 10 months ago

Whenever I show people a screenshot from my ide I get unironically bullied LMAO
