My code is self-documenting in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

It's ChatGPT that's commenting this, isn't it?

Coming soon: Simpler pricing and a better experience for GitHub Actions - GitHub Changelog (Adds self-hosted runner cost) in c/programming@programming.dev

To be fair, it's not that crazy - your agents are generating a lot of data that Azure DevOps is storing. And they're doing a bunch of other things like release management and showing test results over time, etc etc

I'm using Azure DevOps practically free - (unless I build way too much and run out of free credits for the month)

But since so many things in Azure DevOps are already free.. If you're going to start substituting the paid features like extra build agents with your own "free self hosted agents" then where are they getting any money from?

I've put Obsidians' Templater into Jetbrains (Rider, intellij etc) [Functional+Tech demo] (www.youtube.com)
 

Here's the repo:

https://github.com/RonSijm/RonSijm.Rider.Templater

I've tried to implement most of the original Templater functionality. The basic functionality works, some more advanced scripting language related things are still a bit 'work in progress'

Trump Plan Would Force Tourists to Share Years of Social Media Posts Before Entering US in c/privacy@programming.dev

Yes, but it includes your chat and voice chat history in the CoD, League, Dota and Counter Strike lobbies.... 😉

FBI subpoenas the web registrar behind Archive.is in c/tech@programming.dev
[–] RonSijm@programming.dev 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It depends on the registrar. By the rules of icann:

At least annually, a registrar must present to the registrant the current Whois information, and remind the registrant that provision of false Whois information can be grounds for cancellation of their domain name registration. Registrants must review their Whois data, and make any corrections.

So if the FBI concludes that the provided WHOIS data is false, they could potentially still use that as reason to seize the domains

Diptyx is an open source, dual-screen eReader (crowdfunding) in c/opensource@programming.dev
[–] RonSijm@programming.dev 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Pretty cool. I tried to google it, and I couldn't actually find the source for it. Just a bunch of articles about it and a reddit thread.

I'm curious what it's written in

[–] RonSijm@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

If it's "open source hardware" wouldn't it be pretty easy to put it different screens?

Like it also only had a 2 GB SD card.. I'd guess most people would upgrade that

Would you use a service that automatically identifies refactoring opportunities in your code? in c/programming@programming.dev
[–] RonSijm@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Are there existing tools you love (or hate) that do something similar?

This sounds similar to "Static code analysis" tools. Especially now that these code analysis tools are getting AI integrations.

For example we use coderabbit.ai. That does a code review on PRs in github, and reviews these sort of things. Especially the simpler things that you've mentioned like poor naming conventions, violations of language-specific best practices, and readability issues. I'm not sure if it will automatically come up with "large refactoring opportunities" by default - but maybe you can custom-prompt configure it to try, I guess

(Comment) Why have a separate webpage if such of helper can be built into IDE/editor?

Coderabbit also has IDE extensions: https://www.coderabbit.ai/ide - I think the separate webpage exists for org level configurations and overviews. These "best practices" are probably defined on a team level to ensure everyone uses the same code-style and things like that

I'm not sure if "just a website to copypaste code and get reviews" is really a good idea. Maybe for juniors that want to review one class or method or something. But usually code is spread across multiple files, and structural refactor opportunities are on a larger scale then just a couple files

How Ruby Went Off the Rails in c/opensource@programming.dev
[–] RonSijm@programming.dev 12 points 3 months ago (2 children)

On September 19, Ruby Central, a nonprofit organization that manages RubyGems.org, a platform for sharing Ruby code and libraries, asserted control over several GitHub repositories for Ruby Gems as well as other critical Ruby open source projects that the rest of the Ruby development community relies on.

Uhm, so how does this happen? If some people create Ruby Gems and host them under their own github account, how would Ruby Central suddenly assert control over them?

Isn't brave supposed to be "private"? in c/privacy@programming.dev

I've seem so many ads for Brave Browser... If it's supposed to be private and anonymous and a free browser - where are they getting all this money for all those ads?

Codingame - Summer Challenge 2024 - Olymbits - Bot Programming Challenge (www.codingame.com)
 

I started this challenge and it's pretty fun.

  • First round: Program a runner to jump over hurdles
  • Second round: Program runners to jump over hurdles. Problem here is that 4 games are running at the same time, and you can only give 1 input every game-loop that'll go to all 4 games
  • Third round: 4 different games are being played at the same time, and you have to give an input that'll be for all 4 of them every game-loop

They have this graphical interface that'll actually show what your character is doing, which makes it more interesting than just a "code-only" leetcode or adventofcode challenge

Banned from Reddit after posting John Oliver (i.imgur.com)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by RonSijm@programming.dev to c/reddit@lemmy.world

Context:

/r/ProgrammerHumor/ closed for a couple of days, then - "because mods have to listen to the community or otherwise they get replaced by more /u/Spez compliant mods" opened up again, and held a voting which new rules to enforce. The sub opened up with the new rule allTitlesMustBeCamelCase.

I made the first post about 15 minutes after the sub re-opened (because I'm in their discord, I was aware it opened up again, it wasn't announced yet, I think) - and of course I just make a shit-post about John Oliver since it's the /r/pics (and a bunch of other) subreddits way to protesting the API changes.

It wasn't even that good of a post to be honest, it got temporary taken down by the subs' mods since they mentioned "it's only anecdotally related [to programmer humor]" - but after messaging them explaining the context they put it back up. So it's basically approved by the moderators of the subreddit. And not against the content policy of the sub

It got like 3k upvotes in about an hour, so I got a message from some bot that I was on the frontpage of /all/ as well. At the end of the day it had 13.5k upvotes

About 48 hours later I got an automated message:

Your account has been permanently suspended for breaking the rules. This account is permanently suspended due to violations of Reddit's content policy

I posted an "appeal" basically just asking "Lol you banned me for posting John Oliver?"

And the only response I got was:

Thanks for submitting an appeal to the Reddit admin team. We have reviewed your request and unfortunately, your appeal will not be granted and your suspension will remain in place. For future reference, we recommend you to familiarize yourself with Reddit's Content Policy. -Reddit Admin Team This is an automated message; responses will not be received by Reddit admins.

I posted another "appeal" yesterday asking "Could you clarify which Content Policy rule I broke?" To which they haven't responded yet.

It's the only post I made in the last 2 weeks, so there wasn't any other reason to suddenly ban me besides this post...

My reddit account was 12 years old at this point. I was going to leave anyways because the Reddit client I use (sync) already announced it would be shutting down June 30 - so I don't care that much that they banned me - just though it was a pretty weird approach from the Reddit Admins to start banning people for getting John Oliver on the front-page
