No, AI bros being shit doesn’t make Sony and Nintendo good. They are massive companies that will take advantage of you whenever they think that they will get away with it. They don’t deserve your sympathy.

It’s a reheated Pascal’s wager embellished with sci-fi elements. I will never understand why this ever got traction.

True, a single pipe remains.

Restoring Russian gas is literally a pipe dream. The remaining pipelines all go either through Ukraine or Poland. I highly doubt that either of them would allow Russia to sell gas once again. That leaves only LNG which puts Russia into direct competition with the US.

This is slop.

There are lots of ways to write C++ code that looks perfectly reasonable but introduces horrible undefined behaviour. You need to be aware of lots of edge cases all the time and you will still make mistakes that can introduce difficult to trace bugs. One of my personal favourites is object slicing.

class A {
   int foo;
};

class B : public A {
   int bar;
};

B b;
A a = b;

Looks OK? Well, a now only contains the A part of the object. The field bar is lost in the assignment. There are reasons for this behaviour but its a sharp edge nonetheless.

These kinds of problems are numerous and you have to keep them in mind while programming C++. Some people don’t mind it but many do. Static analysis tools that can catch many of these errors exist, but I understand people who say they don’t want to deal with that and rather use a language where these kind of errors are not possible. Personally, I would also discourage people from starting new C++ projects today if they can avoid it.

I am pretty sure burialgoods sings that himself and the text is by this person who also looks legit. I haven’t found anything about the backing track; that might be slop.

edit: Hold on. If I found the same song on qobuz; that is just someone putting up a AI slopped version of the same song that had no involvement by the original artists.

Let me introduce all of you to hexcore:

Won’t get me to stop, I got a Potion of Resist Arrest

Every pally in the kingdom on my tail
They be questin’ for me like the Holy Grail
I’m a wizza with a warrant on my head
In this county there’s a bounty for me dead

They see me comin’ but they can’t stop this disaster
They be runnin’ but I fly a little faster
I dim the sun, enchant my gun, a trigger caster
They got it comin’ son, all paladins are bastards

This is AI slop.

Don’t worry we offer financing options at very fair rates which also include a discount for the first year of the mandatory ad-supported subscription required to use the card.

Well unlike the others who commented you seem to post regularly here. So your opinion is actually worth something. Usually I don’t have to do much in regards to moderation, just the usual spam. Its really only this type of thread where a popular person gets criticised for their AI use and their fan club shows up. Then I try to get ahead of that and kick them out so it doesn’t fester. Free marketplace of ideas is all well and good until one side makes enough noise to drown out every opposing voice and I see the AI side very much as the noisy one.

I see it as keeping at least one part of our community free of the incessant noise of the AI crowd. There are places enough to debate the pros and cons of AI ad nauseam. This community isn’t that place.

I have lost my faith in Torvalds when he wrote this:

This is NOT some kind of “social warrior” project, never has been, and never will be.

Taking bets now, how long until we get a Torvalds rant about too many brown people in the kernel developer community?

I just keep my KeePass file in a Nextcloud and occasionally synchronise manually via WebDAV.

There is KeeWeb but I am not sure how well maintained it is. This issue is still open. It might be worth contacting your employers IT department instead. Asking for a well known password manager like KeePass shouldn’t raise any eyebrows.

I think the closest to an actual answer you will find are the cpp core guidelines.

If you have a constant expression like 1 + 2 in your code you can evaluate it at compile time once and avoid computing it at runtime. You can do that with control flow and much more complex language constructs in C++. If you want to know more about that look into C++ template meta programming, constexpr, and constval.
