  • “This hardware works fine and even has compatible software that it works great with. But I’m going to prefer the broken software for other reasons. And that means it’s the hardware’s fault.”

    Software that is built to be compatible with a wide variety of hardware should be compatible with a wide variety of hardware.

    If software can’t handle a 16.5:16 aspect ratio, then that’s bad software. I don’t care how weird of a niche thing that is… just make your software abstract enough to handle those cases.

    It’s 2024, any resolution/aspect ratio/DPI combo should be supportable. There’s enough variety of monitors out there that we should have a solution for handling things on the fly without needing to have a predefined solution.





  • The spacing is terrible. It’s supposed to be one of those edgy things though.

    You never know the day she has [planned(?)], maybe that’s a date with destiny, and it’s best to be as pretty as possible for destiny.

    Pretty sure it’s just missing 1 word the alternating lines and lack of punctuation make it hard to focus on even that though

    The short version is just “She’s all prettied up because maybe she has a date with destiny”


  • It is a bot trained to specifically replicate human mistakes to be more convincingly human. “p” and “o” are right next to each other on a qwerty keyboard and an easy “I accidentally pressed 2 keys” and then it got the space between the wrong characters as humans do when typing too fast. “oh ok cool” would have looked too clean and made you guess it was a bot. It fooles you, so task successful.


  • A ticket while “traveling”. Driving is something you need a license for, but they weren’t doing that because magic words. Most of this is them justifying that they weren’t driving because there is a difference between capitalized words and not, so they don’t need a license to travel, but they got a ticket for it anyway, so they want justice.

    And then yes, they think you can just declare a $5 million countersuit and win by default, as part of the “I’m so smart, you can’t counter my flawless logic” delusion

    too lazy to type this obvious thing in?

    This has been the thing for me. I get really bored and lose focus when doing all the obvious repetitive stuff. And the obvious stuff is the stuff I find copilot does best. For anything that requires thought I’m engaged. Those are the fun parts of the job. It lets me do more of the fun part.

    The one major downside that I’ve found is that sometimes I just want to tab complete a long variable/function name, and because of copilot i dont have “old style” tab completion anymore. (I could definitely still handle this myself, but i haven’t)

    edit: this all to say that I don’t use copilot to write code that I don’t know how to write, I use copilot to write code that I’ve written 1000 times before and don’t want to write again. Copilot does a good job of looking through all the open files for context to help make sure the suggestions actually fit into the codebase’s pre-existing style.

    Caveat: This is all written assuming the message is being written on a computer with a real keyboard. But if we’re assuming this is written on a phone, then my analysis doesn’t apply, but then again, writing a java program to execute in your messaging app is also a terrible idea. Which means we’re suspending disbelief, so I choose to believe that a computer keyboard and shortcuts are available.

    Type the phrase once. Select all. copy, paste, paste (the first paste replaces what you already have highlighted, the second paste adds a second copy). Now you have 2. Control + A, Control + C, Control + V… Now you have 4.

    It will take you only 7 cycles of this get 128*, you only need to copy/paste it one by one if you want to send each message separately. and even then, it’s would purely be copy the original, then paste, send, paste, send, paste send, paste, send.

    Assuming you can hold down control and just hit ACVV 7 times, that’s 28 keystrokes. I’d bet I can get that done in 5 seconds or less (i tried it, it’s less than that), so now I only save 5 seconds. Which means I only get 25 seconds to write the script. Which he chose to write in java for some reason?

    [print("I'm sorry") for x in range(0, 100)] is actually a script I could write in less than 25 seconds.

    *And I disagree with the “reason 4” given. She didn’t say “exactly 100 times” she said “100 times before I forgive you” and to me, “before” implies >= and not ==. So if you drop it in 128 times, that exceeds the criteria. No one has ever rescinded forgiveness for receiving extra apologies.
