Compiler/interpreter: Can't find variable farfignewton.

Earlier:

Me: Declare variables near, far

IDE: Oh! You mean farfignewton right? I found that in some completely unrelated library you didn't write. Allow me complete that for you while you're not paying attention.

And people wonder why I stick to Vim.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 12 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I mean, if you want something dumb you can use any text editor.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes, compared to the annoyances of "smart" IDEs, I do want something dumb.

[–] FizzyOrange@programming.dev 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No I'm good with smart IDEs. Anyway don't people set up Vim as practically an IDE these days anyway? That's what Vim users always tell me.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 3 points 10 months ago

The advantage there is that you pick and choose how you turn things on, so you leave out the annoying bits.

One thing most text editors can do is print. I was shocked the other day when I couldn't print a readme from vscode when someone asked for hard copy.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Print?

Why would you ever need to print?

[–] bitcrafter@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Because some of us are bitter at the trees for generating so much pollen at this time of year and want revenge.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

That's fair, I didn't think of that.

when someone asked for hard copy.

[–] andnekon@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago

using lsp in vim has pretty much the same problem especially with java

[–] elxeno@lemm.ee 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

near, far

The obvious autocomplete is , wherever you are

This is why I fear activating any AI features in the IDE.

Visual Studio: PROPERTY DOESN'T EXIST ON TYPE!! NOTHING EXISTS ANYMORE!!!!!! REALITY HAS COLLAPSED!

Me: What? I haven't even touched that class, let me check.

Visual Studio: Oops, nevermind, héhé 🙃

[–] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I swear to god this didnt used to be a problem few years ago. However im having that bug constantly now...

[–] dojan@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah, I also feel like it's fairly recent.

thank you for flooding my memory with a bunch of silly 90s car commercials

[–] brisk@aussie.zone 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I try my best to make my IDEs follow the principal that I should be able to type without looking at the screen, but apparently IDEs are really invested in return accepting completions to the point it's often not configurable even when every other key is.

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Then it automatically imports the library for you too lol
