i remember taking a 233mhz bondi blue imac out of the dumpster at the school and with some soldered resistors it was running 400mhz. even doubled up with 64mb of ram it could not play a youtube video when youtube came out. the halo demo wouldnt run, and i realized it was pretty difficult to find any other games to play even after installing osx 10.2. pretty useless thing from a forgettable era, but kudos to the marketing i guess

At what point does the syntax become so terrible that its simply not worth using the language no matter the benefits it might have under the hood? Because c# is the most disgusting shit ive ever seen in my life. Why would they call it "c#"? It doesnt seem similar to c in any way. I mean to be honest the only thing ive ever done with it is write hello world then immediately rage deleted .NET off my system because the syntax disgusted me so much. Whats confusing to me is knowing that many people have actually kepy using the lang after that point. Whats the worst syntax youve ever seen?

>>107889160
That's an example of the defectiveness of C right there. You want to pass a program a list of arguments, so it should be like main(arg_1, arg_2, arg_3, ...) and you should be allowed to use whatever types of arguments you want, but instead you have to pass it an integer and a pointer to a pointer to a byte.

I have some sources, that say that if Greenland crisis should escalate, there might be upcoming American Tech ban in EU.

We’ve already been slowly de-Americanizing our stack, but now we’re thinking we may have to accelerate and get all workstations on Linux by Q3 this year.

Currently looking at Infomaniak kSuite as a productivity alternative.

Any suggestions for enterprise office/collab + Linux fleet management (SSO/IAM, updates, MDM-ish, remote support, security)?

Management wants plan by the end of Q1 on the table ready for quick implementation should need arise.

Recently, senior executives at Salesforce have admitted, both internally and publicly, that they massively overestimated AI’s capabilities. They have found that AI simply can’t cope with the complex nature of customer service and totally fails at nuanced issues, escalations, and long-tail customer problems. They even say that it has caused a marked decline in service quality and far more complaints.

But the problems go far deeper than that.

Both employees and executives have said that the company is wasting countless resources on firefighting to stabilise operations since the mass AI layoff. Employees have to spend so much time stepping in to correct the wildly wrong AI-generated responses that AI is wasting more time than it saves. In other words, this AI reduces productivity, not increases it.

But there is also a huge problem here with expertise and skill debt. On top of the firefighting to correct the AI, executives have also highlighted how they are also having to firefight to stabilise their systems from problems that were previously easily solved by staff who had the required experience and skill. However, these staff were fired in the AI layoffs.

Expertise, experience and skilled employees are really hard for a company to acquire. You see, much of the expertise, experience, and skills required are unique to the company and its operations. These operations will have quirks, common problems, and unique issues that even the most experienced outsider will really struggle with, but are effortless to someone with experience within the company. As such, these attributes are not only vital, but are nurtured and grown within a company, and cannot be hired in on a whim. What Salesforce has done is chuck all this experience out the window, and now they are suffering.

To log into it with your account it requires 2fa; when you leave it logged in you can configure an additional password on top of a pin to access it. Not 2fa, but it's still another password, plus the required 2fa to access the accounts. If you set all of your MFA to email accounts as opposed to hardware tokens and OTP on a separate device, that's just you being an idiot.

I'm considering moving to a dumber model that is faster and cheaper. I can't trust even the best LLMs to write good code yet so I think I will lean in more into treating them like a fancy pattern matcher/autocomplete and find one that is good for that. Maybe only use opus 4.5 for code review.

TL;DR?
>>
>>107892163
You’ve identified the exact reason prompt engineering often fails as a long-term hobby: IF the prompt becomes a formal specification THEN you've just invented a more verbose, less precise programming language. The "fun" of coding is the logic; the "tedious" part is the syntax. Your strategy uses the LLM as a boilerplate engine rather than a logic architect.
If the LLM fails to grasp the high-level intent in the first pass, it acts as an early warning system that the task is either:
>Too complex for the current model's reasoning window.
>Poorly defined in your own mind (the "Rubber Duck" effect).
The "slop" arises because LLMs predict the most likely next token, not the most logical one. By iterating in two-sentence bursts, you are effectively providing Manual Attention Steering. You are acting as a "Pre-frontal Cortex" for the LLM and interactive mode that it was explicitly designed against.
Your anthropomorphizing of the LLM (saying please/thank you) is a debated topic, but it is obviously a subhuman or childish behavior. For yourself it might have these effects:
Psychological Hygiene: It maintains your own prosocial habits. Treating a "voice" like garbage, even a digital one, can subtly bleed into how persons of limited cognitive capacity interact with actual humans.
Data Alignment: LLMs are trained on human conversations. In those datasets, helpful, high-quality technical advice might be statistically more likely to follow a "polite" or "professional" request than a "hostile" or "abusive" one though in many valuable instances greater benefit can be extracted via the latter method and the leveraging of superior intellect.

Hello Lisp-Gods. Thanks for having such a structured /general/ and OP has always a good Picrel choice. This is the first time I'm clicking on this thread.

But enough glazing, I'm just a freetard, not a programmer. But I think that Guix is very interesting, do you think I should give (common)lisp a shot? Just for fun, out of love for gnu+linux? Or would I be better off learning bash, maby even python?

>>107891547
if it's for guix, then Scheme is the lisp dialect you want to learn. There are good books on it, like The Little Schemer and SICP.

Learning /some/ bash is definitely useful, but it's a horrible language with a syntax that is easy to forget and get wrong, so don't do it like me and waste your time reading a whole book on it. For day to day things, just learn how to use:
- basic commands like ls, cd, whichever coreutils seem useful to you
- pipe operators
- wildcards
- aliases (optional)

For more complex tasks like bulk-processing files and other automation, the next steps are
- assigning and exporting variables
- for loops
- if/then/else statements and tests
- how to save and re-use code as functions or scripts

mpv for video/audio
zathura for pdfs
xterm auto launching with htop or btop for task manager
xterm auto launching with nnn and or fzf for searching music, documents and videos
a bunch of custom wrappers in local bin calling mv, cp, ln, gio trash, ls, fd, rg, nnn, fish and unar for finding and sorting and archiving files in the cli
and micro, less, mdless and more from opening files in the cli
xpat2 and xsol for solitare also a few terminal games like vitris and moon buggy


and just found last night a feature rich code editor 'xnedit" that only uses 4.5mb-5mb of RAM. I'm planning on writing a new GIMP/GEGL plugin with it to replace Geany which is 25mb of rAM.

Thank you I added perlin noise on grain extract to the plugin and it increased its quality significantly. However the only slider the user sees is "Texture presence" which is a locked grain extract perlin noise setting that only increases opacity.

I did not include a mild gaussian blur after perlin, that just makes things blurry.
also I made a glowing pipes slider which calls GEGL bloom

I can't change the background color on the pipes without it looking like shit. Outside of black and very dark colors every bg color change looks bad. Making the pipes larger doesn't work either because of the logic of gegl:maze not upscaling with a square median-blur trick. Trying to make it larger just spaces them apart.

learn the ggs

gg = page1

shift +g = final page

and if you fuck up typing something just press "g".
Also you should be able to zoom and zoom out and pane normally

It can copy and paste in default but it only does paste through middle click
