@xoaanya Notepad

what was your first code editor as a dev?

@notaxesthx @CR1337 Control

@CR1337 Real question: should OS layer handle age verification at all? Feels like pushing compliance burden down the stack when it belongs in apps/services. What's the actual use case here?

"Running list of Open Source Operating Systems (Linux & *BSD distributions, etc.) and what their current status is regarding age verification"

@javarevisited I'll race you to the ReentrantLock ;)

Two threads occasionally cause incorrect results when updating a shared object, but the bug is hard to reproduce. What Java concurrency problem does this indicate?

@TechByTaraa Java. We're writing native binaries that use AVX512 CPU extensions with no external dependencies ;) Do that with Python.

Let’s end this debate once and for all. Java or Python

@piyush784066 Write a large JS app without Node. Go on, I dare ya ;)

can you name a programming language better than JavaScript ?

@md_kasif_uddin Neither. We're writing our internal web apps with Java and HTMX. No JS/TS. It's liberating.

As a developer, which one do you prefer more? (Be honest) 👀

@KariLawler Activision Battlezone. Awesome game. Many all nighters with 600 players (Europe vs USA).

Who remembers PC gaming in the 1990s? If so, what's your favourite game from this era? ... Gaming like it's the 1990s with a CD-ROM classic everyone keeps recommending, that being the original 1995 RTS (real-time strategy) game, Command & Conquer from Westwood Studios. (cont...)

@ivaaaa0n @CodeByNZ Ww just create some protobufs and let GRPC create all the server/client code.

@CodeByNZ i love my api endpoints. my api endpoints love me

Do backend devs really find joy in doing this ?

@CodeByNZ @nicola_sosio We're re-writing all our internal web apps with HTMX and Java. It's awesome.

@nicola_sosio Frontend joy is solving it in 2 minutes… then spending 2 hours making it work in every browser 😭

@LundukeJournal I'm in the process of moving from Ubuntu (after 21 years) to BSD.

Moderators of the r/Linux subreddit are now censoring posts which talk about Age Verification. Not only are posts being removed, but I’ve heard from multiple Reddit users who have been banned from r/Linux for expressing opposition to Age Verification.

@berard_xavier @vibeonX69 Nah... BSD ;)

@vibeonX69 Cry for 20 minutes then reluctantly boot into the Windows partition I've been keeping "just in case" for the last 8 years

If Linux disappears tomorrow, what will you do? -Switch to Mac -Back to Windows -Build my own OS

@vibeonX69 Switch to BSD.

@SilentTica @craigkellyAFEE For a large field tractor designed (and required) to run for long periods, you would need a battery of around 3-4Mw/h. On a dedicated 3-phase 22 kwh charger, that battery would take 4-6 days to charge ;)

@craigkellyAFEE Didn’t think of that weight good point though. Would need a freakin big heavy battery. Labour and greens just don’t know how to make anything and keep riding on historical coattails of giants before them

Over recent days, we’ve had absolute morons who clearly failed LEGO in kindergarten arrogantly insisting we should replace diesel fuel with electricity from Chinese solar panels and wind turbines. These clowns run purely on emotions, zero logic, and even less reason. Have these brain-dead activists ever once stopped to think about how much heavier farm equipment and massive harvesters would become if powered by giant battery packs—and how utterly impractical and stupid that would be? Those things would sink like anchors in mud, get hopelessly bogged every five minutes, and turn productive fields into quagmires. Extra thousands of pounds of dead battery weight = more soil compaction, worse traction, and farmers spending half their day digging out instead of harvesting. But sure, keep virtue-signaling your green fantasy while real farmers deal with the catastrophic idiocy you’re pushing. Pathetic. If we want fuel & food security, we need to drill, baby drill. We also should be looking at coal liquefaction - turning coal into liquid fuel. But firstly, we need to scap NET ZERO

@Kenny56615632 @craigkellyAFEE For a large field tractor designed (and required) to run for long periods, you would need a battery of around 3-4Mw/h. This battery would weigh more than the tractor itself. On a dedicated 3-phase 22 kwh charger, that battery would take 4-6 days to charge ;)

@craigkellyAFEE How big of a battery to supply 300 kw/h for 15 hours? This isn't a big tractor or long hours, and this is only one tractor, more than enough to overwhelm the grid. Farmers run on a very low margin of return, so how does one afford such an "upgrade"

@Ciencia1com @craigkellyAFEE For a large field tractor designed (and required) to run for long periods, you would need a battery of around 3-4Mw/h. This battery would weigh more than the tractor itself. On a dedicated 3-phase 22 kwh charger, that battery would take 4-6 days to charge ;)

@craigkellyAFEE I share your concerns, but I also think that it will soon be possible to build AI-driven machinery with low weight, even using batteries. Nonetheless, humanity will continue to use oil fuels, oil products, and fertilizers for a very long time.

@craigkellyAFEE This looks like a fake. John Deere are beginning to make electric tractors but none released yet. This is nothing like the first version pictured. Further, there is no reason the wheel loading would be any more than a ICE tractor of equivalent power. Check out this picture.

@RTuncks @craigkellyAFEE You would be VERY surprised.

@craigkellyAFEE China built a LOT of solar panels and wind turbines with 80% of all oil shipments from Iran. Renewables about to get very expensive.

@Lanemichelle67E @nowak_paul @calculus52 I avoid paying tax every day. I have a great accountant. You should try it and it's LEGAL!

@nowak_paul @calculus52 It so upsetting seeing this and we members of the public will remember this at the ballot box…. Reform can’t keep getting away with this and it should be reported on all news channels… And Tice should pay up and resign

Funny how many self-proclaimed ‘patriots’ spend huge amounts of time and effort avoiding taxes that pay for 🇬🇧 hospitals, schools, roads, defence and all the rest.

@judith_fisher @JMPSimor I avoid paying tax every day. My accountant is awesome. Legal as well ;)

Who paid for Farage’s house in Clacton and did he avoid stamp duty?
