Most of the code at my current job doesn’t even have the optional type annotations. You just see like def something(config). What’s config? A dict? A list? A string? Who the fuck knows.
Unfortunately most of the developers seem to have a very pre-modern take on programming and aren’t interested in changing anything.
Get a code formatter. Ruff is popular. So is black. Never think about it again.
Sadly, no. I mostly use the controller wired, anyway.
I did find some instructions that alleges to allow you to update the firmware in a VM: https://www.thrasos.dev/blog/xbox-controller-linux-update/
Seems plausible.
But also my next controller won’t be Xbox, heh.
Unfortunately I don’t have a spare windows machine, and I don’t think my girlfriend’s work would be happy with me installing the Xbox app on her laptop.
Oh well. Maybe someone will find a way to update it on Linux
I wonder if you can do it in a VM, actually…
To fix these issues you must connect the controller to a Windows PC and update the firmware via the Xbox Accessories App.
Well shit. I don’t have a windows PC anymore.
Never should’ve gotten an Xbox controller. Always thought they were kind of shit, but my friends insisted they were the best and most standard.
Much of this slots into time outside work rather than the workday itself.
I’ve seen at a very large company a workflow that involved manually updating an excel workbook and (I think) saving it on confluence, so a python script could download it and parse it later. It wasn’t even doing formulas. It was just like less than a hundred lines of text in a half dozen sheets.
As someone who works in software, I’ve been using macs at work for more than a decade. One job had Linux machines. One place had windows for developers and it was a shit show.
Apple isn’t amazing but at least the terminal is sensible.
For work, a Mac and vscode. I don’t love vscode but it’s what everyone uses.
Well, some of them develop on windows with like notepad++ and it’s kind of a nightmare. There’s no ci/cd, linting, or testing, so whenever I check out someone else’s branch it’s full of red squiggles.
My personal is pop!_os Linux where I’m also using vscode because I’m too cheap to pay for pycharm.
You’re not listening to me and I don’t think you’re worth listening to. Go away. Goodbye.
In my imagination, some sort of referral/voucher system might work. A invites B, B invites C. C turns out to suck. Ban C, discredit B heavily and discredit A lightly. Enough discredit and you get banned or can’t invite more people.
I like and respect teachers, but I’m a software developer and I’m telling you that adding extra parenthesis often adds clarity and makes the whole process smoother. You exist in a whole other context that has norms and assumptions that do not apply to what I’m talking about.
You being technically correct is irrelevant.
Adults who have forgotten the rules who I work with and read/write code where it’s important. In the real world.
This is like some pure maths vs real life engineering cliché.
You’re either being deliberately obtuse or you’re painfully naive.
Scheduling, mostly. The classic big bad of DND.
That’s because it’s already clear as is, as per the rules of Maths.
More people evaluate 2+3x4 incorrectly than 2+(3x4). So, no, your answer does not hold up to my observed reality. You can throw as many “well technically” and “well actually” as you want, but that’s not going to fix the bug or make a pr.
I always wanted to get one of my lawyer friends to play a devil in a DND game I ran. Just have him write the worst contracts for the players that are more air tight than I can come up with.
Did a one shot in high school where to cast any spell you had to sing a relevant line from an extant song.
I don’t remember everyone’s picks, but one player pulled out a pretty enthusiastic Beatles’ “got to admit it’s getting better, getting better all the time” for a heal.
Arcanum is good shit. I played that so many times when it came out.
I think maxing out time magic and backstab might have been the wackiest. Got like 90 action points and everyone else got 4. Stab stab stab stab.
I learned today that the board of directors at this huge multinational non-tech company I’m at wants 80% of people using AI, and has a target for lines of code written by AI.
Both of those are insane.
The lines of code one is extra double insane. People knew lines of code was a shit metric in like the 90s.
