Agreed, but this gets me worried about it being handheld or not. The current design is perfect for me.

Yes, actually at my job a co-worker just found exactly such a bug yesterday: Debug build zeroed out the variable and the release build didn’t. So the bug only occurred in the release build, but could not be reproduced on the debug build where the developers work on. So in the end he found it because of the different compiler flags used for debug vs release builds at our work place.

Yep, variables that are merely declared are not initialized, so their value is not guaranteed. Could be anything.

You’re charging the class for a thought crime!!

Horrible code. First, it doesn’t compile because there’s no ; at the end of the class definition.

And then more importantly you have a private destructor which means this CriminalScum’s destructor will never be called, so you can’t charge it with distruction either. Or are you telling me this CriminalScum has friends?

I get this warning in my IDE (VS Code) so I feel safe:

The character U+037e “;” could be confused with the ASCII character U+003b “;”, which is more common in source code.

As if it were so easy. You could already argue Facebook algos already facilitating genocides. Or radicalizing anti-vaxxers. And many others.

If an AI has gained the power to overthrow governments there’s no servers to unplug, because we probably rely so much on it that it’s similar to saying “unplug the internet” or “turn off all electricty”. Or frankly: “stop using oil”.

I mean, that is what IRC chat rooms were back in the day. Or any public chatroom from the 90s.

Realtime communication has its part. We use Slack at work all the time. But searching Slack is a horrible way of replacing missing documentation.

I’m not 41 yet, but even if you csn somehow make a chat room app replace the functionality of code documentation or a few simple example code snippets… should you? You’re also hosting on GitHub and not on MEGA, even though you could…

So grob geschätzt und mit Eiszeiten und so wird das vermutlich sogar stimmen. Gehen wir mehr Richtung Millionen Jahre, wirds je nach dem wieder einiges heisser.

Only for well known stuff. If I can’t find anything useful on the Internet, ChatGPT will start talking bullshit. Sometimes hard to catch but most of the time there’s a reason why I still don’t understand: it was utter BS.
