Who has to die at Microsoft to get "co-pilot" removed permanently from my browser?
I hate AI with a white-hot passion - it is garbage and waiting for the UI to "type out" messages makes me crazy.
The web just keeps getting worse.

I just updated my IntelliJ IDEA version to the latest this morning and I got a prompt to "enable full line code completion" that use AI to predict what you're going to write out and suggests it. That's after they already automatically added and badgered me to use their new "AI" tool.
I don't know if I'll ever need AI to help me code. I really don't need some stupid tool constantly guessing what I need to type out. Please just let me disable and remove such nonsense!

Neither do I, but I do appreciate the 75% of the time I don't have to because the "AI" got it right, or close enough.

I don't mind the intelligent suggestions that the IDE makes based on the context, it's always had that feature and it's saved me a lot of time. This new "AI" feature is a little more.. aggressive with it's suggestions, basically filling in the whole line with a popup above it saying "press TAB to accept this suggestion". I don't need it writing my lines for me!

On the other hand, i find it useful in coding in languages which I'm weak in (VBA).
For example, I have a need to convert all numbers to subscripts in an MS Word document, and asked for a VBA macro for this. Not only did it write the macro, but also gave me instructions about how to use it; and my work was done in a trice.

Man this is rough. I have more respect for front end web development these days. It seems a lot more demanding than it used to be.

Luckily I'm in a position now that I don't need to do any web development.

Spoken too soon, on our builder that has limited internet access I had too find out which URL's had to be unblocked for Dotfuscator license activation.
After a lot of struggling and using F12 in the browser for debugging purposes, more than 10 URL's had to be unblocked before everything worked again.
Dreadful, really dreadful, hate this kind of stuff!

I wish I could say the same for C++ 
|

C++ is one of those languages that you have to keep banging at until it "clicks" after which it becomes a lot faster to learn additional C++.
That said, I do not believe it's possible to master every aspect of C++ in one lifetime. I don't even think Mr. Stroustup could say he has. After all, in the early days of the language he never imagined template would be used how it is used now.
Keep at it. OOP is cool, but after you've got the fundamentals down, explore the power of the template keyword, and constexpr, because that's really what sets C++ apart and to a degree even defines it these days. If you want to understand C++'s "personality", you'll want to understand metaprogramming. Plus it can be fun, because it's all little brain teasers the way it bakes out. "Solve this puzzle to create your implementation" - seriously.

I should add, I tell everybody who is new(ish) to C++ these days - get an Arduino kit, and code with that.
(Use VS Code w/ PlatformIO instead of the Arduino IDE, since it has intellisense, and is cleaner)
Arduino is a very easy to use software framework - designed for electrical engineers and hobbyists rather than developers. Plus being able to interact with physical devices via code helps to both realize your creations and can keep you motivated to keep at it.

Looks ok. What is it?
I think FE could be a prime candidate for getting eaten alive by AI.
The rise of micro/nano services could see more customized UX where users spin their own UI (using AI) around wiring to those services as their specific individual needs dictate.

It's a media cataloger. Basically you punch in a TV series and it creates an HTML web on your local filesystem with a folder structure for all of your media, and information pages about it.

I lurked that bit.
I was meaning what UI framework stuff are you tapping?
|
|

No frameworks, except for the W3 stylesheet, which I finally started using when my arm got twisted by CSS behaving inexplicably.
There's minimal JS involved.

Yeah I kinda expected to hear "my own".
I doubted you'd shove Angular/React into an Arduino or something so it was either something more obscure and incredibly light or DIY.

Well this targets nothing smaller than a phone, to be honest. No IoT here.

I'm using winhost.com to host my website.
When I try to download a 200 MB file from the site, it comes down at less then 10 Mbps. A friend who lives about 40 miles away also experiences the same slow downloads from the website.
I contacted support and the rep responded that the speed is normal. But with my cable internet, the file should come down in less than 10 seconds, not in 2 minutes.
I don't have download lags with any other site, and I performed a speed test and scored about 360 Mbps.
Anyone have experience:
0. With this company (Winhost?)
1. With a slow download speed from a website they maintain?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Never used them. My cheapo, shared host is DreamHost.

Yeah. Usually if you get the a shared, cheap plan they'll offer bandwidth and diskspace as part of the sales pitch, but put you in the lousiest network/subnet/machines with crap NICs/whatever... and they're shared no less.
Can always do a traceroute to confirm what you already suspect about where the slow down is.
As far as the rep, level 1 support rarely knows what's going on... even for corporate accounts. Have fun with that.

Well, tracert shows no big delays over all the hops.
My plan boasts unlimited diskspace and bandwidth, but by bandwidth, they are referring to number of bytes transferred, not speed.
Have you ever tested the maximum download speed from your DreamHost website?
