  • Yeah, when my comment is too long, I just write it down in a text editor and save it to local storage, then copy it into the field in the browser and send.

    This Lemmy web UI seems pretty reliable in this case though. Even if it fails to send, it doesn’t delete my written text, unlike a lot of other POST forms, which made made have the habit.









  • I’m sure I’m not the only contributor they pushed away

    Yeah. I found myself not adding a potentially useful comment, more than once, due to reputation restrictions on a SE community despite me having enough rep in the ones I regularly use. And I am one of those that aligns well with the Question & Answer style format of their site.
    So, I just leave, knowing that - some answer is incomplete - or - some question is not worded well enough to attract the correct answerer. I prefer suggesting fixes to the question rather than changing it myself, which would otherwise be assuming that I have understood correctly.








  • AI is only good for the stage when…

    AI is only good in case you want to…

    Can’t think of anything. Edit: yes, I really tried
    Playing the Devils’ advocate was easier that being AI’s advocate.


    I might have said it to be good in case you are pitching a project and want to show some UI stuff maybe, without having to code anything.
    But you know, there are actually specialised tools for that, which UI/UX designers used, to show my what I needed to implement.
    And when I am pitching UI, I just use a pencil and paper and it is so much more efficient than anything AI, because I don’t need to talk to something, to make a mockup, to be used to talk to someone else. I can just draw it in front of the other guy with 0 preparation, right as it came into my mind and don’t need to pay for any data center usage. And if I need to go paperless, there is Whiteboards/Blackboards/Greenboards and Inkscape.

    After having banged my head trying to explain code to a new developer, so that they can hopefully start making meaningful contributions, I don’t want to be banging my head on something worse than a new developer, hoping that it will output something that is logically sound.





  • Interesting.

    The word ‘pan’, came to me from using 3D CAD software and I considered the Jib and Truck actions as ‘pan’ and the original Pan would be camera rotation, which might be ‘turn’ (didn’t use it as much so don’t remember) which was less favourable than using ‘orbit’.
    Good to know the word origin.

    Oh and btw, Dolly would not be zoom, but ‘walk’.
