This is neat, though some of it (mutable defaults for example) are already covered by existing linters. I’d also look into pre-commit support as well.

I had a WTF moment last week, i was writing SQL, and there was no autocomplete at all. Then a chunk of autocomplete code appeared, what looked like an SQL injection attack, with some "drop table" mixed in. The code would have not worked, it was syntactically rubbish, but still looked spooky, should have made a screenshot of it.

The last time I asked Gemini to assist me with some SQL I got (inside my postgres query form):

  This task cannot be accomplished
  USING
    standard SQL queries against the provided database schema. Replication slots
    managed through PostgreSQL system views AND functions,
    NOT through user-defined tables. Therefore,
    I must return
It's feels almost haiku-like.

I feel a little bit nerd sniped - halfway through the article I wanted to cry out "but the loop!" and then they moved the loop. Nice job, I'm super excited to use this in my own code. I have a bunch of handwritten metadata about C++ classes that I'd rather ditch and use something that the language provides.

Let me introduce you to a good time.

Step 1: https://strudel.cc/workshop/getting-started/ . Click play on coastline" @by eddyflux

Step 2: Listen for a while

Step 3: setcps(.75) -> setcps(1.5)

Step 4: Listen :)

That is the extent of my strudel knowledge, but damn this is cool.

You could say the same about anything, but cheating in multiplayer ruins the experience for others. Cheating in single-player? Great, we call those mods, but in a multiplayer game I'm happy to think of OP as a piece of shit for not just cheating but writing the cheats for others.

Even if it's just indirect competition, by giving yourself an advantage compared to others you affect what others percieve as a healthy benchmark for performance.

"Just neopets" isn't an excuse, you could say the same for any online game.

Cheaters even wreck just the scoreboards for some games. You might think a fake score submissions is about the least damaging thing since it doesn't directly effect others gameplay at all, but it still ruins the experience and affects the community's ability to compare and share genuine runs.

Being banned eventually is hardly a punishment, doubly so if they ever sold-on their ill-gotten gains for real money.

There wasn't a hint of contrition in OP's post, and the downvotes I'm receiving suggests that the culture of entitlement is so great now that cheating in multiplayer isn't even seen as bad anymore.

I think it's reading into a lot into OPs comment. A lot of people look somewhat fondly on dumb/slightly illegal things they did as a teen, even if they would never do such a thing as an adult (nor encourage it in current teens). The downvotes you are getting are likely due to guidelines violations (be kind, curious, not snarky, etc) not due to your actual viewpoint.

I had to set one of these up somewhat under duress to replace a poorly written scheduled query to export data to BigQuery. It’s nice to know what it’s actually doing under the hood, thanks for the info.

"How do I get a list of every resource in a project"

"How do I change the resource limits for CPU core count"

Beyond that I've never used Gemini for any actual purpose.

a_t48 · a month ago
Yeah, basically.

Does anyone want AI in anything? I can see the value of navigating to an LLM and asking specific questions, but generally speaking I don't want that just running / waiting on my machine as I open a variety of applications. It's a huge waste of resources and for most normal people is an edge case.

Gemini in GCP for SQL queries is mildly useful, as I’m rusty and forget how to write but generally know enough not to run a query that mutates the db.
