About to get a software developer degreeSchool I went to sucked and I can barely codewat do
>$20,000 in student debt>literally 6-12 months away from the entire field being reduced to ashhonestly just a generational fumble. life ruined
>wat dowas it really that bad of a school, or did you just do the bare minimum (not meeting with prof, cheating yourself on hw/labs/assignments) or not engage with the fundamentals with anything else (projects, research, internships) on your own time?well, i'm not in the best position to give solid advice still being in school, but i hear math majors transition to higher cs knowing fuckall, so i suppose it could be worse.up to you. do that research degree to stall loans, put yourself through the paces and then do your own thing for money, tough out whatever is going on in wagieland right now, etc.
>>107848236just b urself
>>107848443Trqe. Maybe some people first started getting into trouble when they lost touch with themselves and started to focus on what everyone else wanted.
>>107848254Not all, but a decent chunk. Teaching materials were trash so if I got stuck i wasnt going to learn anything by guessing so
What are some Android apps you use on your Android tablets or phones that are pretty nifty. Bonus if they are open source. For me, it's Osmand for hiking maps, and Tubular for watching video without ads with the added sponsorblock.What nifty Android apps do you guys use that turned out to be pretty useful?
>>107847501does emacs count?
Does anyone know a decent gallery app? I've tried Fossify gallery and Aves, they both sucks but Aves is the least worst so I'm using that.>>107847501>OsmandI like CoMaps more.>What nifty Android apps do you guys use that turned out to be pretty useful?Binary EyeBreezy WeatherCoMapsGPSTestJoplinLocalSendObtainiumThunderbirdComment too long.

>>107847501Is ther a way I can get the Osmand TTS / rhvoice to use the Japanese voice but in English? I was so happy when I realized that I could manually set the Siri voice that way by editing one of the plists on my Mac, and then that also synced over to my old iPhone for navigation.

>>107845673it's to match the new windows 11 start menu
>>107845616Yikes, old menu looked bad but this looks even worse.
When is Cinnamon going to work with multiple monitors, HDR, and VRR? When am I going to be able to right click hard drives in Nemo? When am I going to be able to perform updates (ie manage software) through the Software Manager instead of a separate program? When is Zram going to be a default feature? When is Btrfs going to be a default feature? When am I going to be able to run AppImages without manually giving each of them executable permissions? When are the start menu and taskbar going to become visually pleasing? When will performing updates automatically upgrade to the next point release if one exists?

>CEO sends out an email encouraging company to use AI more>We consulted an AI (((expert))) that says it will make us more efficient >Encouraging Copilot specifically bc we are already using Office, Azure, Etc.>Mfw im the current IT dept head and was not consulted about any of this or brought in to meet with the (((expert)))How do I tell him this shit is a terrible idea and AI should not be trusted with any meaningful or security sensitive information? Bonus points if it's a response that won't get me fired
I love finding out just how far behind some companies are when it comes to AI adoptionhate to break it to you, but the next few months are gonna be a lot worse
>>107847762Red pill us on the coming storm.
>>107844490I don't think it's a bad idea, but I can see why they didn't consult you. If I were you, I'd be more worried about you being replaced with someone that is willing to embrace AI and Copilot.
>>107845460tell on them :-)
>>107844490I actually advise local businesses on the matter of using AI and refuse to do anything before meating their IT person.Sadly most don't have an IT person since it's small businesses. And I end up telling most that their potential for use right now is minimal/limited to general office work automated.
With the current state of the PC market I’m thinking of buying Apple, I know the M4 is powerful but how is MacOS? I heard Tahoe is shite but haven’t looked too deep into it.
>>107837373Okay which means your choices are horrible macOS or not as good CPU? I'd take the not as good CPU for sure.
>>107841928I didn't know that, though I don't really take mobile benchmarks seriously without a graph showing power usage. Isn't the benefit of arm battery life?
>>107844428>Okay which means your choices are horrible macOS or not as good CPU?Yeah pretty much. I'm weighing my options here.I do 99% of my work in the terminal so surely macos won't be that bad and will be able to mostly get out of the way...
>>107833394I don't know your usecase but for me using Linux (doesn't matter which distro) is like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbSehcT19u0Constant fighting with the OS in order to use the fucking thing for something productive.
>>107814412"ARM is so energy efficient", they told me.
How come C# isn't more popular when it's basically Java but better? Is it because people distrust a language maintained by Microsoft, or does the JVM have non-obvious but crucial advantages over the CLR?
Its mad how competent the .net team are compared to the rest of microsoft, did they avoid getting jeeted?
>>107846195>browser via blazor is a terrible waste of time, im not sure why they even botherIt's better than JavaScript frameworks and you can reuse the same components on web, desktop, and mobile. What's not to like?
>>107846926Yeah I'm not saying it's not, though that doesn't mean it's particularly popular beyond Unity.
>>107834144It's as popular as it can get as it's primarily used in corporated and gaming as those are Windows .NET dominated industries.Technically C# is multiplatform, but unless it's used as a scripting language inside a game engine, it relies too much on Microsoft's .NET to be used on Linux, Android, Apple's ecosystem and multiplatform open source projects.

What if AI won’t be able to advance much further beyond what it is now do to the astronomical resource consumption? What if we just run out of the shit that keeps it going? What then?
>>107848006> you say that as if a having a manually designed parts invalidates AI tools.My point is that anything that actually requires any sort of reasoning ends up inevitably requiring hand written human logic. These are autoregressive parrots and next word predictors. If your job is able to actually be replaced with AI in a permanent fashion, it is because a random guessing machine could outperform your reasoning abilities.
>>107847753>AI does ZERO useful things.Absolutely wrong. Even as a non-coder, I use it almost every day to rewrite my meeting notes, forecast project roadmaps, rewrite my shitty emails before I send them, troubleshoot log files, message headers. Generate simple scripts for mundane tasks. It's also great at explaining sci/math concepts. All this using only the free version, which just limits your tokens. Currently playing with a 5090 and LM studio using smaller local models from google and chatgpt, also free by the way, but much more limited and not as accurate as the cloud versions.You're just a luddite.

>>107848897So has the dogshit decoding speed of JXL been i proved or not?

>>107831857A lot of those respondents won't be thinking about the prior conditions or second order consequences of those age verification checks. If you asked 'do you support age verification checks for ... if that involves companies and the government collecting data on everyone who accesses that content?' then a much lower percentage would support that.
>>107846339You just described the problem with democracy
>>107831645You see in 1984 and others where the protagonist is literally a janitor who loves the evil gov and strong leaders because democracy has weak leaders.
>>107831857It's sad - when you explain that this is exactly the playbook of every distopian government - they say you're overreacting. When you explain that supporting this is exactly like supporting Hitler in 1930s - they supported this. Ask them if they still agree - and they never talk to you again - but here we go. Schnell!
