Thank you, something like this would work well, if they are small tasks that help the main contributor because they don’t have the time. I do have experience working on those for free :D
I don’t know about the big examples like the one in wiki though
I had upwork account since a long time, last time I tried (was a few years back), it just said “we have a lot of people with your skill, so no” lol
Thank you. I looked into it. I did make a profile, let’s see how it goes.
I feel like there should be something like that for sure. But I don’t really know how to find it or convince people to hire me for a problem they don’t know they have. It’s be great if I knew owners personally, but I’m not really outgoing type (who reason I got good with programming lol)
Guess who found an easy way to get a PhD.
I use messenger on Facebook web through. I do have the app as well, but the web works.
Honest opinion programming is easy and fun when you learn it and it saves you time and allows you to test your ideas. Creating something gives you dopamine.
Problem is before people even try any programming for themselves, they are introduced to it through school or work where they have to do it for homeworks or analysis while also learning new things. And they hate it.
This gives me hope.
Can’t see instructions on how to use it, do I need to do anything non trivial on my phone? Should I test it on an old phone?
Again, you can type feet instead of ft and it’ll work. You can write ‘feet per second’ instead of ‘ft/s’ and it’ll work. Natural language has its benefits but when you have a very simple syntax model then there’s less chances of it making a mistake.
I also like it very much. I hope they make a library for it soon, I can’t wait to use it to make unit aware calculators.
I mean the syntax for gnu units is literally the same unit expression used in math. m^2, cm, m/s etc. the ft;in looks weird because it’s two units combined.
Your example in it would be units 30ft mm , use -t for terse results that’s just the final value.
Doesn’t even work well on a single monitor on Wayland. It gets confused with screen size or sth, fills a small area on top left with screen contents and lot of black space
Dam. Finally someone else who did something similar. I also changed my focus into more GIS and programming oriented work because of AutoCAD being what it is. I like working on open source software because I don’t suddenly lose all my work because I ran out of license or left my job.
No need. Looking at the age of users of emacs vs others we’ll live a long time
And who says AI means neural network? That’s what we use, doesn’t mean that’s the only AI possible to write. There are a lot of different models, neural network is popular right now because it can learn from data without anyone having to teach it actual logic. An AI written by fictional character can be a deterministic kind with very similar logic to humans that you can inspect and write and give weights to things.
Yeah but the people who made it like that probably understand whether to trust it to write code or not. The AI Tony wrote, he knows what it does best and he trusts it to write his code. Just because it’s AI doesn’t mean it’s LLM. Like I trust the errors compilers give me even if I didn’t write them because it’s good. And I trust my scripts to do things that I wrote them for, specifically since I tested them. Same with the AI you yourself made, you’d test it, and you’d know the design principles.
On this topic it’s also good at finding you a acronym full form that can spell out a specific thing you want. Like you want your software to spell your name/some fun world but actually have full form related to what it does , AI can be useful.
I feel like YouTube one can lead into another. Because it’s hard to get people to follow you in GitHub. But having another platform where you can advertise your programs means a lot. Even if you write something useful people are not going to discover you without something else doing the outreach.
I do have a career, I am a specialist of (kinda) GIS and data analysis related to hydrology. I’m currently on the path to complete my PhD within the next year. I have been really successful at pitching my programming ideas on non-programming domain. Solve problems for clients, make applications/algorithms that can outperform what they had before. It does sometimes make me feel like I’m a bit too wide on my skillsets related to others in my field, but at least in my immediate circles, I am still as good in the core aspects of my field. But there are so many people that are better specialist than me if I search around.
But now, due to the current climate, and situation in the USA, I have been thinking I might have to move to another country before I finish PhD, and I might not be able to find a job in another country immediately, so I’m thinking of finding some small gigs I could do for some side income.
