@uliwitness @nocontextb5 Ah okay. Clearly I don't watch Babylon 5. 😅

So, despite what rational sense as well as several dictates would seem to demand, we are attempting to use the "Cmake Projects in Visual Studio" feature of MSVS https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/cmake-projects-in-visual-studio?view=msvc-170

We have… questions, which the docs don't seem to answer.

  1. Many places in the VS docs refer to "the project" as if it were a singular file ( see screenshot of https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/common-macros-for-build-commands-and-properties?view=msvc-170 ). In the case of a CMake Target Project, what is "the project" in this sense? The CMakeLists.txt? The The CMakeSettings.json?

@BoredomFestival @mcc @wreimers The one time I worked directly on xbs, also involved cmake doc rabbitholes. 😭

According to my bathroom scale, I gained 6 lbs. yesterday.

Part of me wants to see how many days I can do that in a row.

@BoydStephenSmithJr One wonders if you really EARNED them though.

it seems my brain is not very compatible with yml feel like if it were json or toml, i didn't even need reference, i just understands it syntax... strange feels like a lot of ppl are the opposite way

penryu,
@penryu@hachyderm.io avatar

@potatomeow This is why yaml must die.

penryu,
@penryu@hachyderm.io avatar

@potatomeow yaml was invented to drive the demand for yaml syntax validators

penryu,
@penryu@hachyderm.io avatar

@potatomeow It's not just you.

YAML permits comments. And it is easier to read than JSON. I can look at YAML source and see: "Oh, that's a blockquote, and that's a table of key-value pairs."

But I have NEVER been able to write either of those syntaxes from memory; I always need to reference another sample of YAML code, or look up the docs. Maybe if I'd done more k8s stuff I'd have yml beaten in my head?

And that was all BEFORE they decided to make YAML a superset of JSON...

Just had an amusing thought.

The one thing Google still does passably well is operating systems. Despite their flaws, Android and ChromeOS are both pretty handy to have around. Meanwhile, the rest of the company blows goats more every day.

The funny thing is that it's the exact opposite trajectory to Microsoft. They were a decent compiler company, then they were an awful anti-competitive OS company, then they started sucking less until now.

penryu,
@penryu@hachyderm.io avatar

@Obdurodon To clarify... Is Microsoft still on its sucking-slightly-less trajectory? Or has it stopped?

/reads about a romance author getting locked out of google docs for inappropriate content/

“See, this is American Puritanism run amok.”

/continues reading, gets to the bit where they write “hockey romance”/

“You know what, Google might be right about this.”

@potatomeow Your education begins.

@potatomeow Just know that it's SO MUCH BETTER than it used to be.

penryu,
@penryu@hachyderm.io avatar

@potatomeow You intention is indeed admirable. But if your goal is identical, pixel-perfect rendering across ANY browser, you will quickly lose sanity.

Much like the original HTML spec, it's best to focus on semantic correctness.

The movies I'm considering for tonight, in (ascending order) of title laugh factor.

Wolfcop
Bong of the Living Dead
Teenape vs. the Monster Zombie Apocalypse
Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead
Taintlight
Terror at Blood Fart Lake

I think we're committed to Poultrygeist, but I can't keep Blood Fart Lake on hold forever.

@Obdurodon I feel like that list is begging to have Llama-geddon added to it.

@evan IF you count either London Underground or BART through SF... over 6 years.

If you count above ground trains/trams, the story changes drastically.

Let's be honest:

This isn't about being responsible.

OpenAI wants their cut of a massive market without getting their creepy-looking GenAI fingers dirty.

@Roach

Let's be honest:

This isn't OpenAI trying to be "responsible."

They want to make sure they get their cut of a massive market without getting their creepy-looking fingers dirty.
