It's a glorified autocorrect. Using it for anything else and expecting magic is an interesting idea. I'm not sure what folks are expecting there.

  • It suggests variables and function names I was already going to type more accurately. Better, it suggests ones even when I cannot remember the name because i got stumped trying to remember.
  • It fills in basic control structures and functions more effectively than the IDE's completion templates.
  • It provides a decent starting point for both comments and documentation (the hard part). Meaning my code actually has comments and documentation. Regularly!

But I don't ask it to explain things or generate algorithms willy nilly. I don't expect or try to have it do something that's not more than simply auto-completion.

I honestly like it, even if I strongly dislike the use of AI elsewhere. It's working in this area for me.

Is it? Sounds a lot like what I'd hope to hear from someone with his history.

Maybe he learned something. People can change, it's just really frickin hard for every one of us.

I'm going to try to help explain this, but i'll be honest it feels like you're coming from a place of frustration. I'm sorry about that, take a break :)

(I'm not a language expert, but here goes)

var test int < bruh what? :=

These are the two forms of variable declaration and the second one is a declaration and initialization short hand. I most commonly use :=. For instance:

foo := 1 // it's an int!
var bar uint16 // variable will be assigned the zero value for unit16 which is unsurprisingly, 0.

func(u User) hi () { ... } Where is the return type and why calling this fct doesnt require passing the u parameter but rather u.hi().

This has no return type because it returns no values. It does not require passing u. It's a method on the User type, specifically u User is a method receiver. You might think of this akin to self or this variable in other languages. By convention it is a singke character of the type's name.

If that function returned a value it might look like:

func(u User) hi() string {
    return "hi!"
}

map := map[string] int {} < wtf

This is confusing because of how it's written. But the intent is to have a map (aka dictionary or hashmap) with string keys and int values. In your example it's initializd to have no entries, the {}. Let me rewrite this a different way:

ages := map[string]int{
    "Alice": 38,
    "Bob": 37,
}

Hope this helps. In all honesty, Go's language is very simple and actually rather clear. There's definitely some funny bits, but these aren't it. Take a break, come back to it later. It's hard to learn if you are frustrated.

I also recommend doing the Tour of Go here. My engineers who found Go intimidating found it very accessible and helped them get through the learning code (as there is with any language).

Good luck (I'm on mobile and didn't check my syntax, hopefully my code works ๐Ÿ˜Ž)

Except Google Pay had the ability to send money to/from friends and bill splitting. Wallet has no such features at all. And nothing they've published or any news on it seems to mention this. (Which has left me somewhat confused that I'm missing something. But as best as I can tell, I'm not)

I'm more curious about the seemingly random reactions on every friggin message. What the hell is that?

[-] rushaction@programming.dev 17 points 8 months ago

Agreed. Though I worry that'll take pressure off the cantankerous legislators that are blocking true support for Ukraine.

How did US politics get to a point where Russia is tacitly if not explicitly being supported by half of the electorate? And all because of an ๐ŸŠ with an IQ to match?

:(

They expose themselves to risks simply by living in Russia.

Holy hell. That is absolutely not how the world works. People have no choice in the circumstances of their birth and frankly not a whole lot of control over their lives either. Such behavior is reckless and shows a wanton disregard for other human beings.

Please stop. Putting random people at risk of having their lives destroyed by the authoritarian regime in which they were born into is so incredibly shameful.

What an incredible display of emotional immaturity. So much so I assume this must be trolling.

Grow up. Quickly.

Edit: make yourself useful and target people that matter if you need to express yourself. I hear Putin and everyone connected to him is a good choice.

Respectfully, please do not do this. Helium is a non-renewable resource. Once lost to the atmosphere it's gone for good. Nitrogen on the other hand makes up 78% of the atmosphere and is equally effective.

My gay ass doesn't see an issue at all with this.

Then again it's religion. And as we are currently experiencing, that is a shit show no matter what.

For me it's more like new interesting self hosted project and then find out it's only distributed as a docker container without any proper packaging. As someone who runs FreeBSD, this is a frustration I've run into with quite a number of projects.

The Gays would kindly ask this list include the HIV crises.

Thank you!
