  • Why did you even bring up AI? IDEs have been able to generate equality functions for decades without AI.

    It’s kinda neat to have this defined directly in the language so that compilers can implement it, but creating equality function is so low effort that this doesn’t really seem like a big deal.

    Like, you define the members in a class, then you tell your IDE to generate getters, constructor, equals, hashcode, etc all in like 5 seconds.
    I like it, it’s nice when the language itself defines reasonable defaults for things, but realistically you’re saving yourself a few seconds of effort.



  • I’m part of the problem, because I keep replying and giving you an audience, so consider this my last reply.

    When someone is raising an issue, and you’re considering if you want to expand or generalize the topic, ask yourself “will the person with the issue benefit from what I’m about to say?”
    If they wont, and they’re not hurting anyone, then maybe stfu, especially if you inhabit a position of power, in society, relative to them. If it’s still important to you, then go start another conversation elsewhere.

    In this case, they won’t, and you probably do, and you insisted on speaking up here anyways, which makes you just like all the dudes trying to make this about themselves. You do not pass the vibe check.

    This isn’t a universal complaint about the frustration of whataboutism.

    This is a specific complaint about how any time women try to talk about women’s issues in a forum that may contain men, those men engage in disingenuous whataboutism.

    The men replying are almost never showing support, they’re minimizing the issue, or they’re trying to co-opt the thread.

    It doesn’t need to be a uniquely woman’s issue for it to be a predominantly women’s issue.
    And it doesn’t need to be a predominantly woman’s issue for women to want to talk about it from a woman’s perspective without men making it about them.




  • I feel like that’s a pretty gross misrepresentation of the issue.

    The people in the comic (and in the comments here) are often trying to minimize the issue on which she is speaking, or co-opt the conversation for their own issues (typically forcing her and the original issue to the sidelines). They’re not adding context or having a discussion in good faith.







  • The steam deck isn’t powerful enough for what I want:
    This is also going to serve as my main computer, so it’s going to spend like 95% of the time docked to an eGPU, external monitor, and mouse/keyboard. I mess around with unreal engine and do software development, so I want more ram than the steam deck currently provides.
