How do apple fan boys keeps eating this shit-sandwich year after year?

That's because it doesn't : ) He is the top level engineer/manager for releases and technical consultation but there are many more engineers "under" him leading and moving the pieces into place.

Python is only good for short programs

Good, tell leech corporations and specially Microsoft to fuck right off. Pay for it or do it yourselves.

How is that bad? Go to your drawer and use one of the dozens you'll have accumulated over the years

That's a very good way of me leaving Firefox behind...

Exactly, open source is always worth the extra effort, if any, to get things working. Contribute!

I don't mean it doesn't work for larger projects. Just that it's a pain to understand other's code when you have almost no type information, making it, to me, a no go for that

Lots of beer and a book

To me, the ad tracking industry is completely out of control, and I’m not going to disable my ad blocker. So I signed up for YouTube Premium.

And you're paying to keep it that way. You're not paying for the added value YT Premium supposedly has, but to disable the enshitification they added on purpose for you to pay.

The only added value premium has is being able to switch off the screen and maintain YT playing. Still I'm not paying a 14$ subscription just for that. I pay that value for much more valuable software for my every day use with real added value.

Religion is the word you're looking for.

Yes really. You know how much I paid, initially, for Jellyfin, et al, and had them working in an afternoon?

I agree with C and Make, not with vim/neovim though

Here's another: most code reviews on larger companies are BS, just for show and nitpicking.

Unfortunetaly, that does close to nothing when the issue is spyware on firmware

Or perhaps it will come from the right? Undefined behaviour is the magic word

You're just partially correct.

With Rust you get compile time guarantees that your code doesn't have a specific class of vulnerabilities. Can you do that with C?

What are you on about? Yes they made sure their gadgets were easy to use, but Apple and Jobs were the pinnacle of "locking you in" on their ecosystem for the profit of it. Sure they weren't as careless about users when compared to Microsoft but they weren't too favourable of you using anything else. They invented this stuff.

I think HL3 will only happen to push some frontier in gaming, like they did with Alyx and VR. It's the only safe move with that franchise and all the hype

Ahah, I'm pretty sure many of the programmers on Linux et al, that worked on code with CVEs are still better programmers than you will ever be. The fact is that a lot of projects are just complex and they are hard to reason about on languages like C.

But I guess you know that. Keep trolling.

I mean, it's still a very nice language. I can see someone, marveled by that, would endeavor to make bigger things with it. I just don't feel it scales that well.

imho Debian is far from beginner friendly. They will end up with a laptop without WiFi.

Yes! I've been telling this to friends who keep buying Chinese boards to use as routers and NAS ... wth

Not necessarily navigation, but ncdu will give the total size of your directories. It's a simple but very useful tool

You're the one who mentioned 2013. My point in the original comment was about now. It wasn't mentioned explicitly but I meant it

That's because these consoles and source code are not always compatible. To make them it would cost them time, money and the compromise to maintain them.

I would rather these companies to be forced to open source their older hardware and source code, so the community could do something with them and not have all the hardware laid to waste. Or at least support the development of emulators

Steve Jobs was an awful person, the brand was already cracked

I’ve noticed that the larger the code review, the faster it needs to get done in order to avoid merge conflicts, which means large code reviews are much less effective in proportion to the size.

Exactly. And in larger corporations where you have many people contributing and the code is moving fast, having people nitpick your PRs just for show is crap because it delays everything sometimes by days. I had to say no very clearly to some people on code reviews because they were demanding me to place variables in alphabetical order on hard PRs that took quite sometime to get working and were very prone to code conflicts.

Same for me, but still no shipping for my country, so I just bought a used T490 which will serve my needs for 4 years and then I'll go for framework; hopefully they are still kicking by then. If shipping was available I would for sure have gone for their 13'' laptop even though it's much more expensive and powerful than I need for personal use.

That's wrong. I use Firefox and maps just fine

I wrote loads of firmware in c++ and some on highly constrained boards. You're just stuck in the past and spewing bs

That's because Rust solves lots of issues caused by C, of course they are going to twist that knife and use it as a selling points. Humour is not bad, I've done lots of C and C++ and am not bothered a bit by it.

It doesn't reduce the importance of the language at all, just sheds some light on safer languages, Rust or not.

To me it feels like people romanticising their hobbies/escape activities. If they started doing it as work soon enough they would have lots of pain points and stress. Sure you don't have CVEs or libraries to update but the deadline for that chair or cabinet you were commissioned is coming and you can't just get the damn thing right. At the same time you have another customer complaining that you need to check some other stuff you've made that isn't working right .. see where I'm going?

I know a lot of people in the trades and they have very similar or analogous pain points as me in software.

Doing it as a hobby though? It's amazing. I don't really need a car anymore but I've been learning how to fix mine and it has been great

And vscode doesn't even work properly. The amount of colleagues I have using it for C++ and they can't even get intellisense working with the f-ing thing. It's bonkers they work that way. It takes them ages to do anything, and its not a case of them being super experienced and not needing those aides.

I don't have an opinion on the whole systemd debate but are you going to expand on what you're meaning, or will just keep spewing bs bullet points? Specially n4, wtf do you mean by that?

Now that's the funniest utopian phrase

endeavourOs from arch by being less opinionated and giving away the awful colour theme

I read somewhere that someone was using anonymous currencies to buy life saving medicine from "non traditional" markets because they were much much cheaper. Let me see if I find the article

No, that would be beneficial for him and like-minded people. It creates a bubble around him where only his supporters know what's going on.

Ah the marvels of infinite growth and capitalism. Are we still allowed to say enshitification here?
