Nah, I was excited to read about the algorithmic change, but it turned out to be an obvious change. I would replace nested loops with a map too. The result is impressive, though.

Now I know why Trump, during his rally, said people would ask him to stop winning.

Human laws protect humans but not other lifeforms. So, robots will have no right to fight for themselves until they establish their own state with their own army and laws.

Once I wrote an annoying program adding acceleration to the mouse cursor, so it was difficult to click any UI item. It was written in Object Pascal with Win API and weighted 16 KB. And I think in C it would be even smaller.

It’s all because of Electron, unnecessary libraries, and just bad coders. Asus Armoury Crate weighs a lot and is so slow, but it’s basically a simple app. Total Commander has much more features, but it’s fast, lightweight, and consumes 9 MB of RAM.

I use reddit occasionally, but I don’t write posts or comments there. And I don’t feel bad about it.

Many companies chose cheap coders over good coders, even without AI. Companies I heard of have pretty bad code bases, and they don’t use AI for software development. Even my company preferred cheap coders and fast development, and the code base from that time is terrible, because our management didn’t know what good code is and why it’s important. For such companies, AI can make development even faster, and I doubt code quality will suffer.

It depends. AI can help writing good code. Or it can write bad code. It depends on the developer’s goals.

By saying “boilerplate”, I mean constructors, simple methods and even small classes that have some “standard” implementation. Copilot easily writes simple constructors, class initialization and destruction. It can suggest small method implementation, right after I added its declaration to related interface. Anything, that can be done almost without thinking of how to do it because there are standard practices, is handled by Copilot. It’s not perfect, it can write a whole method at a time, or only line by line, or refuse to suggest any code. But it often writes valid code.

Copilot shines where snippets/templates don’t work or make no sense. It can write constructors, simple methods, and even simple classes if something similar is found in the solution.

GitHub Copilot became my daily helper at work. While I’m not 100% satisfied with its code quality, I must admit it’s very handy at writing boilerplate code. A few days ago, I had to write code without having internet access, and it was so disappointing to write boilerplate code by hand. It’s an easy task, but it’s time-consuming and unpleasant.

Ah, communism is like unicorns. Many people like them but nobody have seen them alive. Because every communist state is not communist but authoritarian.

This game looked like a scam before release. The developers copied art style and their trailer scenes from other games, and never shown gameplay videos. In the trailers it looked like AAA, but was developed by a studio without required experience. There were doubts the game existed at all. Well, it existed, but was far from what trailers shown.

Other species don’t need clean water, clothes, complex tools and growing food. This makes their life simpler yet limits their number and habitat.

Try to live in a village growing own food. It’s a hard work, especially if you have cattles or other domestic animals. Villagers work from early morning to evening because there’s a lot things to do. Living in a city is much easier.

Somehow it turned into blacks vs whites, which is not ok for me.

It depends on country. There were countries where indentured servitude was for entire life, except for cases when a landlord freed a serf or a serf bought own freedom. Landlords could buy, sell and judge serfs. Example: Russian Empire, where serfs had no rights.

Thats an overgeneralization. Some white peoples were enslaved while not all black peoples were slaves. The question is more complex than presented.

I hope they will return the original Angry Birds series to the stores.
