Is that all the crab memes you got?

I was half expecting a proper crab meme dump, like in the good ol’ days.

Pathetic.

Does the US still have a working reporting system?

Though, obviously I had to come up with some ridiculous solutions:

bool IsEven(int i) => ((Func<string, bool>)(s => s[^1] == 48))($"{i:B}");

This one works without conditionals :)

bool IsEven(int i)
{
    try
    {
        int _ = (i & 1) / (i & 1);
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
        return true;
    }

    return false;
}

Not to take from all the funny answers … but

bool IsEven(int i) => (i & 1) != 1;

(C#)

At this point I assume ignorance and incompetence of everybody talking about benefits of “AI” for software development.

I’ll quote myself from some time ago:

The entire article is based on the flawed premise, that “AI” would improve the performance of developers. From my daily observation the only people increasing their throughput with “AI” are inexperienced and/or bad developers. So, create terrible code faster with “AI”. Suggestions by copilot are >95% garbage (even for trivial stuff) just slowing me down in writing proper code (obviously I disabled it precisely for that reason). And I spend more time on PRs to filter out the “AI” garbage inserted by juniors and idiots. “AI” is killing the productivity of the best developers even if they don’t use it themselves, decreases code quality leading to more bugs (more time wasted) and reducing maintainability (more time wasted). At this point I assume ignorance and incompetence of everybody talking about benefits of “AI” for software development. Oh, you have 15 years of experience in the field and “AI” has improved your workflow? You sucked at what you’ve been doing for 15 years and “AI” increases the damage you are doing which later has to be fixed by people who are more competent.

Same as antibiotics.

fixed title

If we can’t build an equitable, sustainable society on our own, it’s pointless to hope that a machine that can’t think straight will do it for us.

Watching that movie was a drug-infested nightmare. The drugs were my fault, the nightmares were on the movie. The fire extinguisher scene went on for what felt an eternity. Showing the head for punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch until it was a pulpy mess not recognizable as a head with blood seeping out of it. Actually, I think the right-hand side of the meme is a pretty apt categorization for that movie, except, maybe, the unenjoyable part. Enjoyability just depends on your own perversions and morbidity. And the title of the movie is a lie. I reversed the fire extinguisher scene: it becomes a love story of a kind and dedicated fire extinguisher reconstructing a dead man’s head. I sometimes masturbate to that.

Tell me you haven’t seen the uncut version of Irreversible without telling me you haven’t seen the uncut version of Irreversible. That’s like, peak entertainment. Thank me for the trauma later.

Most people suck with computers, no matter their age. There may or may not have been a time frame which resulted in a higher percentage of people knowing more basic computer stuff. Kids on computers tended to pick up more basic computer knowledge than kids only interacting with gaming consoles for the past 40 years. If you want to blame one thing for decreasing basic computer knowledge, kids being glued to their smartphones and not touching computers (laptops/towers) at all is the much more obvious candidate. Like kids playing on their N64 (insert arbitrary gaming console here) and not touching computers before. I think, OP, you’re falling into a trap of over-projection, where you project yourself and your peers as a standard onto a generation/age-group, when most of us here on lemmy have always been the outliers. People are not “tech savvy”; never have been. Trying to put the blame on one company and product (no matter how evil and bad both are) for select age groups is ridiculous.

Not necessarily evil. But every religious person is damaging to society and the environment out of ignorance, because, for example, their voting is based on beliefs disjunct from reality, including absolute morals that will vilify a substantial part of the populace for no sane reason.

Yah, we’re on the interweb. For all I know he could be Drath’nor.

What piece are you talking about? Statement makes sense either way.

EDIT: But once again I’ve fallen victim to a classic blunder. The sort of people who would say a roundabout is woke would never care about a well-reasoned argument. And I’m just preaching to the choir in this community anyway!

I’d question the existence of “the sort of people” in any meaningful quantity. As far as I can tell the only people dubbing it the ‘most woke’ roundabout are the authors of the article. Not a single person quoted uses the word woke. It’s a classic rage bait headline to generate clicks.
