If you don’t work nights, be glad that you don’t lose an hour on your paycheck every spring

Get someone else to write a book about my ideal world and then never come back.

I like hearing languages I don’t understand because I can pretend they’re talking about something intelligent.

It’s corporatized because we are just corporate livestock. Can’t pay taxes and buy from corpos if we’re dead

You must be new to lemmy if you don’t know that AI definitely qualifies as a hivemind topic here.

what you are describing is called a Markov chain, not a large language model.

It will definitely give you an edge in interviewing, but problems like these are often criticized for not being indicative of what writing software is actually like once you get the job.

• Rosalind for bioinformatics-themed programming questions.

• Advent of Code Meaty programming problems you can solve in any language. They start pretty easy but ramp up pretty quickly and will teach you all sorts of concepts useful to programming.

• /r/dailyprogrammer Years of problems you can solve in any programming language, and see how others solved them too.

• code.golf Compete with others to solve programming problems using as few bytes/characters as possible. Supports dozens of languages.

• code golf stack exchange Similar to the above, but language-agnostic. And many, many more problems. Takes a bit more effort in formatting your answers and interpreting the rules.

• Code Abbey A personal favorite of mine for general programming exercises. This one is also language agnostic and flies under the radar.

• Exercism More focused on learning new programming languages. They’ve got free tracks for 77 different languages. You can request mentoring from human volunteers!

• Codewars General programming problems in dozens of languages. This one has a built-in editor and test suites, as well as social features and gamification through your rank and such.

• leetcode Probably needs no introduction. Lots of companies use this to screen programmer applicants, but you can just treat it like a challenge for fun, too.

• Rosetta Code A website focused on comparing programming languages. If you know a language well, you can see what problems haven’t been solved in it yet and solve some for didactic purposes.

• 99 Lisp problems 99 problems for lispers, but you could always try solving them in your language of choice.

I’m the baby. Gotta love me!

It’s a class war, not a generational one. Millennials have just as many rich jerks as any other generation.

A common eagle scout project where I grew up was surrounding vulnerable trees with beaver wire.

It makes me cringe to think that many people have egos large enough that this would work to scam them out of the inevitable registration fee that will be asked for over whatsapp.

Agreed. I do like the game a lot, though. It just has this one weird decision.

Been playing Dark Deity (a Fire Emblem clone) lately and instead of permadeath, it reduces a random stat by 10% permanently. Can’t say I’m a fan. Just have a permadeath mode and a regular mode.

That’s so true. I think it would have kept being said in the following decades if people knew what to call them.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that!

Synergies for Torchlight II. It’s like four extra games.

Completely. Why even thrust a soul into this world if you won’t see it through? This world is a demonic world where money is everything, so you’d best be prepared to cough it up.
