I guess I’m not surprised that programmers don’t know how to follow meme standards.
The three panels following the first one are supposed to be helping the first one.
I am altering the meme. Pray I do not alter it any further.
Senior developer here, it looks like they are helping to me.
Sending you on a side quest isnt really helping efficiently
But it is helping effectively.
It’s less efficient to learn how to do something than to have somebody who knows how do it for you, but it’s more effective to learn for yourself. Hard won knowledge is rarely lost.
Is anyone going to tell them about stack overflow, or…
I once submitted an issue to a devs GitHub. The apps login page would not load without large bg pictures loading first. I asked if he could add an option to disable it in the settings, as my self hosted site was slow.
I essentially got back, “why would I do that? It’s not an issue for me! Besides the login page should load before the background picture” issue closed
😑😑😑😑
It’s like you’re SO CLOSE to seeing the issue.
Similar thing here. I once went to a Minecraft mod dev’s discord to ask if there was a way to center the health bars that come with his mod. He basically said “you’re the only person who has ever asked for this, everyone else just puts it in a corner of their screen”. I feel centering is a basic feature of any adjustable UI element!
I kinda get it, mod authors (and FOSS devs) often get a lot of requests for something they’re doing in their free time without pay. If they already have a backlog, they have to be picky about what tasks they take on, and they can get a bit snippy when overwhelmed with requests (or questions that might turn into one). That being said, there’s no reason to be rude.
He wasn’t actually too rude about it luckily, but what I found funny is that his mod was a very basic one with a lot of competitors doing pretty much the exact same thing, and ALL of them had centering options. Maybe he just didn’t see those mods? Idk.
“Relying on humans” is open to interpretation.
For food. You know… nom nom (the humans as food I am hinting at!:-P).
“Insufficient detail. Please ask a specific question.”
“Read the wiki”
“Nobody here is interested in holding your hand.”
“Insufficient detail. Please ask a specific question.”
This is a very real problem from the answering side. So many people would rather have you guess what they’re trying to ask and then get mad at you when you guess wrong.
I know whenever I try to help someone with a Linux issue it’s always an uphill battle to get them to stop guessing what they think the problem might be and show me the logs.
People really don’t want to give you the information you need to help them.
To be fair, people who know which logs to attach and how to get them usually already know enough to troubleshoot the issue by themselves.
This is such a hard part of learning Linux. “Just look at the logs” Which logs? Where? How?
journalctl > logs.txt(don’t actually do this)
Hot muscular felines as coworkers? Sign me the f up
Well this makes me feel better about my stupid questions on stack overflow.
Look at this fancy person with enough reputation to ask a question
I know you’re trying to make a joke about SO’s restrictive rep system, but asking and answering questions doesn’t require reputation, at all. If anything, that’s where you start building rep.
It’s an X Y problem. Please retell the history, starting from your birth, that led to this moment before I contemplate answering your question
Signed, somebody who would rather waste your time than answer the bloody question.
My for-profit large language model will not be stopped by your “anti commercial ai license” because it hasn’t learned to read yet.
Ive seen people link that one multiple times and i am at a loss what its about.
The cc 4.0 license it points to does not mention AI at all.
CC even has a page where they state that it probably is legal to train on cc protected content but it depends on context.
https://creativecommons.org/2023/08/18/understanding-cc-licenses-and-generative-ai/
I think someone used ai to mean attribution/alike, international. Which are part of the full name (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International) but still make little sense as an acronym next to CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 being the official acronym.
non-commercial, you can’t sell it
There’s no point looking for logic. These people truly believe granting a licence restricts the rights of people who don’t agree to the licence, which is the exact opposite of what licenses do. It’s blatant misinformation but if you call them out on it (even by quoting their own link) they literally think you’re an astroturfer for AI, because that makes more sense to them than the fact they’re obviously wrong.
You don’t understand: these comment footers are the only thing between us and Roko’s basilisk.
