@AstraKernel there are people who got excited trying to write opcode directly. And there are people who went triple digits npm dependencies

True. Many people are there for money

Some of us still do but doesnt mean you have to do all the time "hand"-programming
LaurieWired@lauriewired
I’m convinced that a large % of programmers don’t actually like computers. As a side effect, are also perfectly happy to throw away their reasoning to a model as soon as they can. I don’t get it, at ALL. Don’t you *LIKE* understanding the magic of the machine? You do realize hand-programming (I hate that I even have to specify hand now) is fun…right?

@tonialaribe I feel sorry for the people letting a clanker take over their homelab

Unfortunately we now get made fun of, for actually writing or reading code.

🇪🇺 The EU is now for the 6th time trying to force Chat Control through which lets them scan ALL your private messages, photos and emails without a warrant
Implictly showing the EU is not democratic and not about what the people of Europe want, because once a law is rejected, you just re-submit it until nobody is watching and it's passed
November 2023: ❌ Chat Control is rejected
June 2024: ❌ Chat Control is rejected
October 2025: ❌ Chat Control is rejected
November 2025: ❌ Chat Control is rejected
March 2026: ❌ Chat Control is rejected
July 2026: 📝 Chat Control is back
Even the EU's own lawyers stated Chat Control is unconstitutional: "generalised message scanning is incompatible with Article 7 of the EU Charter"
You have to wonder why the EU is so adament about reading your private chats, right?

Ich habe heute versucht, die Chatkontrolle zu stoppen. Am Wochenende mussten Sibylle Berg und ich Parlamentspräsidentin Metsola schriftlich mitteilen, dass das Durchprügeln der Chatkontrolle im Eilverfahren leider gegen die Geschäftsordnung des EU-Parlaments verstößt. Während Metsola der interessierten Presse daraufhin (fälschlicherweise) mitteilte, dass das schon alles seine Richtigkeit habe, warten wir immer noch auf ihre Antwort. Deshalb wollte ich es ihr heute bei der Eröffnungssitzung in Straßburg noch einmal erklären. Und musste erstaunt feststellen, dass die Präsidentin doch Regeln kennt: Exakt nach 60 Sekunden hat sie mir das Mikrophon abgestellt. (regelkonform, wird aber selten gemacht) Dabei hätte ich noch einiges zu sagen gehabt: "Frau Präsidentin, Sie wachen nach Artikel 22 über dieses Regelwerk (mit der ausgedruckten Geschäftsordnung wedelnd) - erklären Sie den Eilantrag für unzulässig. Wir sind hier schließlich nicht auf Malta! Die aktuelle Fassung der Geschäftsordnung überreiche ich Ihnen gerne persönlich. In der MEP-Bar." Wie es nun weitergeht? Morgen wird über das Eilverfahren abgestimmt, obwohl diese Abstimmung gar nicht stattfinden dürfte. Wenn der Antrag erfolgreich ist, kommt die Chatkontrolle Donnerstagmittag zur Abstimmung ins Plenum. Um sie noch zu stoppen, müssten 361 Abgeordnete - eine qualifizierte Mehrheit - DAGEGEN stimmen. Die schlechte Nachricht: Donnerstag ist der letzte Tag vor der Sommerpause und viele MEPs dürften bereits auf dem Weg in den Urlaub sein. Ein Schelm, wer Böses denkt bei dieser Terminierung... Smiley! Wenn die Chatkontrolle durchgeht, dürfen die Plattformen (also die US-Tech-Bros) wieder & weiterhin fröhlich & ganz legal Ihre Nachrichten scannen. Schreiben Sie also gefälligst etwas unterhaltsamer in den kommenden Wochen... ZwinkerSmiley!

@HSVSphere I read an article about problems with gpg, and it was pretty convincing, but then I wasn't able to find a mature alternative that was capable of encrypting arbitrary data, so I went back to using it. Do you have a thingy you use to public key encrypt arbitrary data?

@_PaleblueDot__ @0neandonlybase @BernoulliDefect in spanish, "estar" refers to temporarily being, not to having. which is different to "ser", to be, which means actual nature/identity, being on a longer time scale.

@0neandonlybase @BernoulliDefect Iirc in Spanish heat is a quality something has rather than something it is, my Spanish is really rusty so I may be misremembering

Oh no. I hope AI translation doesn’t squeeze out the cute literal differences between languages. Imagine if we only knew 日本 as ‘Japan’ and not ‘land of the rising sun’

Talking with other developers, I hear the phrase "everybody knows that LLM agents produce huge piles of crap" but then in other professional circles, managers and many programmers seem to be totally unaware of this phenomenon.

@lefineder it gets more interesting when you compare it to population numbers of the time

Based on discharge inscriptions, the Roman army retired around 150 veterans per 5,000 soldiers, representing about 3% of its troops each year. The military would also lose another 2% to natural rates of adult mortality. However, since somewhat less than half of all soldiers lived to complete their 25 years of service, the actual rate of mortality among soldiers was likely higher, at around 3%-4%.
This means that each year the military lost around 6%-7% of its manpower to retirement and mortality. With an imperial army size of around 400,000 legionaries and auxiliaries, the Roman military required 24,000–28,000 new recruits simply to maintain its size.
Each decade, this massive and complex military machinery would need to recruit, train, and churn out 240,000–280,000 new soldiers to defend the empire, essentially replacing most of the soldiery each decade.

Indians have been living among westerners for more than 200 yrs & are the largest immigrant group in west, but have u ever seen any Indian who can play Bethoven, Mozart, or Chaikovsky as well as east asians?
Have u ever wondered why?
Have u really never thought abt this question?

看见一个很离谱的论文…… 如果你每天在收盘时买入美光科技，在第二天开盘时立刻卖出，几十年来会获得高达 138,330,342% 的收益。 但如果每天开盘买入，当天收盘时卖出，你的投资最终会几乎全部亏损-99.92%。 作者表示，这一切都是既得利益者的阴谋，所有市场都一样。 是的，包括咱们大 A。
