@webholt Ага. Даже споры с джунами на -30% могут быть полезными. Это не всегда и не для всех эмоционально приятно- но это факт

Если хочешь писать свой собственный гениальный код, не будучи готовым к фидбеку и переделкам — пиши его один и никому не показывай. Хочешь совершенствоваться — будь готов удалять и переделывать код много раз. А ещё — осмысливать фидбек, а не просто переделывать всё, что скажут.

@pikuma @stevesi Yeah. First floppy was with executables, another one was with help files. In a system without HDD, development required constant switching of floppy drives. But it was cool anyway.

Turbo Pascal 3.02's EXE (39KB) was smaller than: • The minified version of jQuery 1.6 (88KB) • The Yahoo home page (215KB) • The zlib.h file in the NCBI C++ ToolKit (97KB) • The 'touch' binary on macOS Tahoe 26.3.1 (99KB) • The Wikipedia page for C++ (214KB)

@tagir_valeev Correct. Until str is nullable.

The first option, str.equals("admin"), is safer. If str erroneously happens to be null, the program will fail with NPE, and you'll immediately see that str has a buggy value, so you should fix something in your code above. The second option will silently propagate the erroneous state, possibly causing data loss or incorrect program behavior much later. With the second option, there are chances that the error will be unnoticed during the testing and slip into production, and it will be much harder to eradicate the original problem. Exceptions are your friends, don't avoid them. They are trying their best to tell you that your code has a mistake. Fix the original mistake instead of ignoring it.

@NaMi____NaMi It should be just a compiler optimization option. Period.

@AntonMartyniuk Correct. But you missed (intentionally) Java on VertX! Why? Because it is a clear winner, offering up to 1.5x better performance over .NET.

@catalinmpit Why lately? They do it all the time... I would add "underdesigned code" to the list though...

Lately, Claude makes some shocking mistakes. ⟶ Implements overly complex code ⟶ Ignores the codebase's code style ⟶ Removes working code for no reason ⟶ Replaces code that's out of scope from the task at hand It feels like it needs 100% supervision. At this point, you're better off writing everything yourself.

@trikcode Yeah. And instead of fixing one bug you'll produce one feature and ten bugs. Very easy.

Vibe coding is so addictive😩. You open your laptop “just to fix this one bug” at 5pm and suddenly it’s 2:30am.

@GeorgeN28581 @HukaGigachad Yes. But what is the point? Only Su-57 offers both. Others offer MAWS at best.

@AlloyLauncher @HukaGigachad If a MAWS cant detect a launch, DIRCM is useless, as it is directional. If you don’t know you’ve been shot at, you cant defend. 101KS-O or similar DIRCM system would not have same the plane if it didn’t detect launch at it.

russian know ir missile threat they prepared for it. W

@GeorgeN28581 @HukaGigachad Yes. But only Su-57 offers DIRCM. No competition there.

@HukaGigachad F-35(I) also has MAWS and it’s a very potent system. I suggest you guys don’t run to conclusions and making comparisons of the two airframes, especially since the “incident” with F-35 is still shrouded in mystery

@Amockx2022 Wonderful! Where are sanctions, ban to sell goods for Americans etc? So hypocritical...

BREAKING : Spanish 🇪🇸 PM Pedro Sánchez went for European Council meet and took stand against Trump on behalf of Europe "Not just Spain, entire Europe is against this illegal war in Iran. We won't join it no matter what" 🔥 Everywhere he goes, he bashes Trump and Netanyahu 🫡

@FredLambert Why? Lidar is a pure evil!

Xiaomi's cars now have lidar, high-def radar, and cameras with auto cleaning. But sure, "no one will ever catch up to Tesla"

@iPritamX Surprise. Apple gives no boost for basically any applications. It usually promotes whatever famous apps that don't need promotion anymore.

You just don’t know how difficult it actually is I’m building iOS apps from India, targeting the US & EU markets. The App Store gives you zero local boost because you’re not based there. No algorithmic love, no organic visibility. You’re already starting 90% behind before you even launch. Then you try to catch up with Apple Search Ads… RBI policies + Apple straight-up rejecting Indian cards make it almost impossible. Now you’re not just behind, you’re completely invisible while others race ahead. This is the brutal reality for Indian devs chasing global success.

@oykun It made them unemployed.

designers, be honest. has ai actually made your work better? or just faster? or ...?

@shub0414 Why don't we need a flood insurance in desert?

Interviewer : If a database index makes queries faster, why don’t we just index every column?

@HekoZTe_toky Maybe because it doesn't' have a tail rotor?

全く知られてないけど、尾翼吹っ飛んだ状態で生還したKa-52の事例あるんよね。

@TomaszzzL @Rainmaker1973 Nope. It's just success. Miserable sales figure for german brands in China can not lie.

@Rainmaker1973 Piękna propaganda sukcesu… a czemu ciężarówka nie przejechała górą?🤣

Huawei’s Maextro S800 luxury car takes toughness to the next level.

@Rainmaker1973 Invented by Mercedes like 10 years ago. But the car itself is impressive though.

@walterwhiteh691 Why? She is not!

The moment she realised she’s a 10/10

@US_progress Правда? А куда идут все остальные налоги? На распил? И как это Россия живет без налога на единственное жильё? Платя 13% подоходного? И имея универсальную медицину?
