I teached embedded programming for a while and students were to find out that AI often failed miserably at our tasks.

And the funny thing is that when I tried it myself to see if it’s that bad at given tasks - I explained the task like I would explain to a student, and actually got a decent result - readable comprehensive code with meaningful comments. It all simply comes down to the fact that AI won’t really help you if you can’t do without it. So I double that making the guy pass some guidelines on styling the code to Claude should at least make the code less shit to debug.

My friend had an old colleague that was maintaining one project for decades. Grandpa sadly kicked the bucket at some point and friend inherited that project - tens of thousands of lines of Assembly. 🌝

TF2 source code comments are just beautiful.

I mean, I’m certainly guilty of having to tidy up codebases before shipping, to remove all the goofy stuff and swear words, so these comments just make those Valve employees very relatable for me.

I like band idea, but I’d make it a big band of Voronoy pattern shaped islands, with just enough water in between for civilisations to ensure communication, but make invading each other a pain in the ass. Would probably also make some water regions shallow to act like some sort of water speed bump and limit seafaring capacity and force humans to eventually be building big ass bridges.

Would probably also make some outlier islands with difficult inhospitable terrain or climate to act as nature’s reserves.

White car order was issued by Turkmenistan’s current dictator tho, Berdimuhamedow. And he managed to become even worse than Niyazov in terms of personality cult and clown laws.
