What kind of maniac posts a screenshot of their code instead of the code itself to ask for help tho

[–] Deiv@lemmy.ca 102 points 1 year ago

Someone fishing for compliments about their IDE setul

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I only accept photographs of the screen

[–] grue@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Make sure to print them out and re-photograph them on a wooden table!

Uses vim

copies console text feed

Evil knows no bounds >:)

[–] gamma@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago

With embedded terminal escapes? True evil indeed.

On stackoverflow, they will answer aggressively: "Don’t post picture of code

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 31 points 1 year ago

That's like common sense

[–] Goathound@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

Finally a good answer on that website

[–] mggnn@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Then, to fix it the user paste the code as text but with awful formatting. Then get another aggressive answer: "** DAMNIT, FORMAT YOUR CODE**"

[–] elxeno@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Then, when it's properly formatted, CLOSED AS DUPLICATE

Just leave it there tbh

[–] beejjorgensen@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Just run it through OCR. Super efficient! 😅

[–] mister_monster@monero.town 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you send me a screenshot of your code I'm not helping you, sorry.

[–] Luvs2Spuj@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Seriously, what the fuck kind of animal does that.

[–] prayer@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago (4 children)

IDEs are bloat. I write my code using command line and concatenating each line into the file.

[–] woof7939@iusearchlinux.fyi 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Please, that’s way too high level, I move the file to a hdd, pull it out and then use a fridge magnet to change individual bits. Works like a charm.

[–] JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

Why write code when you can turn the transistors on and off yourself? I have a few thousand buttons connected to the CPU, and some homies and I open or close them on each clock cycle to feed it different instructions and inputs.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Oh, finally an ed user!

[–] grue@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Haha teletype goes clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick

I love how you nailed the early 2000s shitty IDE aesthetic 😍

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

It just needs dark mode to turn it 2020s

[–] russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net 7 points 1 year ago

Oh my goodness, is that BlueJ? I haven't seen that thing in ages...

[–] Matthew@programming.dev 23 points 1 year ago (12 children)

I use light mode. Compliments are not forthcoming.

Please, make sure to ALWAYS include line numbers.

Makes discussion much easier

[–] scottywh@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (4 children)

You guys use IDEs?

/me coding in notepad

[–] JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago
[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can I tempt you over to Notepad++?

[–] scottywh@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I know it's been around for a long time now and offers some features that people like but I'm completely content with the simplicity that notepad provides.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

The emacs drip is just too real

[–] vox@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

you should avoid posting pictures of code tho.

[–] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

What kind of monster screenshots his code (I mean Unreal blueprints I understand out of novice) but actual C or java code!?

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I spent 45 mins with ChatGPT trying to give me the quick resolve for something querying with M.

It ended with me telling ChatGPT that if it worked for me, it would be fired because it kept trying to reoptimise my query, resulting in syntax and load errors, then "fixing" them by ignoring my query's criteria.

I ended up going old school and taking an extra 30 mins to just figure it out myself. Now that I know how it's done, it's surprisingly easy to understand.

So I took that as a compliment; or ChatGPT just sucks at PowerQuery.

It probably learned, though. If anyone has transform queries around multi-level filtering criteria and ChatGPT helps, that's because of my suffering.

[–] Ceon@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Does chatGPT really learn from user inputs? I thought it was always restarting from the same base

[–] JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

In each session, the last several thousand words (from the user and AI) are kept in a context buffer to be used as additional inputs for the neural network. But I don't think ChatGPT lets you choose the AI's responses for that buffer, so you can't really "train" it in any sense of the word. If you want that functionality, use LLaMa.

[–] usrtrv@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

It will eventually incorporate user inputs in the model. So yes it won't learn in real time from other users, but at some point those inputs will be fed back into itself.
