Well guess what?

#include <string.h>
#include <iostream>

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
	const int which = strcmp ("zsh", "bash");
	std::cout << which << std::endl;
	return 0;
}

Output
1

There recently was a project that did UEFI on a phone.
Perhaps we can consider doing so with all ARM and RISC V stuff?
Or maybe come up with another common interface more suited to the platform?

Considering Qualcomm went and 1TKO’d Arduino, I’d say we are better off not waiting for it to get onboard.

What happened to your eyes?

So I don’t find coding challenge sites/events fun, but a few years ago, I thought it might be nice to try out ChatGPT on it.
Although I exited after the first question itself, I did get to evaluate ChatGPT at the point (3, I suppose).

I simply pasted the whole question into ChatGPT and it spewed out code which was a pretty good match for what was required.
But no matter how many types of prompts I tried (even giving the solution logic to the part that was wrong), that specific part of the output was always wrong.

On the other hand, when I manually corrected the C code and gave it to convert to C++, it ended up working on the first try (I didn’t even read that output).
I then tried converting the correct code to Rust and I don’t remember what I did with the output, but it surely didn’t pass the assessment.

If GIMP weren’t free, at this point, I would be making another drawing software.
Ok, maybe not. I’m more into vector style stuff and that’s probably the direction I’d go in.

Now just how did he procure the rest of the 5, is a mystery.

You seem the one bothered

He’ll make sure until death that his wife doesn’t figure that out.

I can use CAD. I am an engineer.
But noone will ask me to draft a building design on AutoCAD, same as noone will ask me to do so with pencil and paper.
Because I don’t know buildings.

Sure, I might be asked to copy a pen-paper drawing onto CAD, but a Civil Engineer with CAD will do that better and a photo tracing software might do it as well as me.

So while a good enough LLM might code as well as a coder, Programming is more than just coding and making anything new, requires programming.

Wasn’t it only talking about banning the VPN services that allow a proxy internet access?
Now are they banning the technology altogether?

If that’s the case, then what will they ban next? Fire?

So I guess AI and hence, vibe coders are having the same problems as normal programmers.

where I, an average user, needs so long to find such a basic function

I am not sure about that.
The default UI is similar to the old MS Office Word and the new alternative (which from what I remember, LibreOffice actually asks you to choose from in a dialogue on first start, so you don’t need to look through menus to set your preference) uses the newer tabbed paradigm.

And while I do prefer the new one, I didn’t find the old one any harder than MS Office Word 2003 or the older version that came around Win 98.

The only thing that made me different from the average user back then, was that I actually read and understood user prompts before clicking “Next” or whatever.

Specifically for the extra buttons on the sides, I would prefer having gamepad-like switches, since the normal clicky ones don’t seem to do well over there.

While an audible click is not really necessary for switches, I consider it important to at least be able to feel it on my finger. Hence the word “tactile”.

<15 seconds.
Including starting LibreOffice Writer. This is on a 5400RPM HDD and Writer was definitely not cached, since I haven’t opened it in days.

Now how long did it take to start MS Word on my laptop again?

It is so for anything having tables, from what I see.
Dev has to consider whether snapping is a better idea or smooth scrolling is and toolkits seem to have snapping as the default.

Hehe yeah, security in general has been an afterthought in the computing space.
And it makes sense. You first make something possible, then restrict it for whatever cases you don’t want it happening. The latter is supposed to be easier.

But not a ToDo list right?
Unless you consider computer instructions as ToDo items, in which case, all executables would be ToDo lists.

Yeah, that Mac offended me.
My imperative programming journey was a few months on a handed down P2 followed by 3 years of pen and paper.

What‽ It was not C-hash?

The 1 percent being AudioNoise?
