@cmuratori @pikuma We need more data centers to power data centers!

@pikuma OK but can we harness the combustion of your cremation to power a datacenter?

I'm certain that the memorial tree that will be planted with my ashes will be cut down sooner or later to build a data center. Time to change my will again. I'll ask my ashes to be mixed with radioactive material and spread all over town to flip all your dirty bits! 😠

@yutongwu111140 Sometimes?

Does it bother people when the colon and question mark aren't aligned

@yutongwu111140 I think this code is fine, but I'm a C developer.

The code formatting is flawless(

@surface I'll probably never buy this.

Introducing - Surface RTX Spark Dev Box. All the power developers need, right out of the box. Sign up to learn more: msft.it/6016vbfbA Surface RTX Spark Dev Box. Built for more.

@raysan5 I use Vim, BTW.

I use Notepad++ to write things, locally saved text files usually don't disappear. Simple and easy. Why make it so hard? 🤔

@elonmusk Muahahaha! I shall know the TRUTH!

Unless you become the media, you will never know the truth

@GoodPoliticGuy I suspect a bad actor is imitating him, possibly to use his given authority to push a narrative?

why the actual fuck is a Fox News guest wearing a sophisticated full head mask

I wonder how many clandestine committees are out there shaping our world?

@gamingnoobdev What in tarnation?

i am not watching this shit

@cmuratori How convenient.

I wonder where Wikipedia suddenly got the idea that SketchPad used a proto-ECS? Surely it was by spontaneously reading his thesis, as the reference in the article would imply, and definitely not by watching my historical analysis of the topic which was posted 13 days prior.

@eiranoirx I'll prove you wrong in less than a year, mark my words.

Electron hate is one of the most confidently wrong opinions in tech. People say it like they've cracked something open. "Discord is just a website." "VS Code is Chrome with a titlebar." Yeah, and your kitchen knife is just shaped metal. The framing tells you nothing about whether the thing is actually good. Writing a real cross-platform native app is brutally hard, and not because the logic is complicated. Every platform has different UI conventions, different system APIs, different accessibility models, different font rendering, different input handling. Write a macOS app in Swift and it looks great on macOS and doesn't exist anywhere else. Want Windows? WinUI, WPF, take your pick, each with its own learning curve and its own special set of things that don't quite work right. Linux? Qt or GTK, both of which produce apps that feel slightly wrong on every platform they target, and you're maintaining all of this in parallel, same features across three codebases, three bug trackers, three build pipelines, three sets of platform-specific nonsense to debug Or use Electron with just oneOne codebase. "Electron uses too much RAM." VS Code idles around 150-300MB on a typical project. Sounds bad until you check what else is open. Chrome with four tabs is using 800MB. Your JetBrains IDE, fully native, compiled to the JVM, is sitting at 1.2GB before you've opened a single file. The native Slack alternative someone built in Qt uses 90MB, sure, but it also hasn't shipped a new feature in two years and the emoji picker breaks on HiDPI and nobody is fixing it. Memory is cheap. The RAM argument is almost always made by people who don't look at what their "good" native apps are actually consuming. Chromium is good. It is one of the most tested, most optimized pieces of software running on consumer hardware right now. The rendering is fast. V8 is fast. The security model has sandboxed processes and site isolation baked in, which is more than most native apps bother with. Embedding it in a desktop framework is not a betrayal of some pure native ideal. It's using a genuinely good piece of engineering for a job it's good at. The app is not slop because it runs on Chromium. The app is slop if the team who built it didn't care. Those are different things. Maybe stop confusing them.

@ankkala Anyone can fix this problem for themselves, if they know assembler...

The number one problem with Linux (and arguably computers in general) is that you can't distribute binaries. There's no universal stable ABI. Should I fix this?

FOSS maintainers need to stop whining. It isn't like the first people who contributed to FOSS expected anyone to use their software... or am I wrong?

@Tim_Denning what?

People who self-publish books with no audience are low IQ.

@antirez I have no doubt awful software has existed before... But now, we have 100x the awful software, and the good software can't keep up.

Many of you forgot too fast the insane amount of shitty software we had to see and suffer in the pre-AI era.

@neogoose_btw @jakubtomsu_ I am confused... What?

@jakubtomsu_ I’m proposing something completely different instead of using leftmost bit as a sign or swapping every bit - use the rightmost bit and enforce it on every value.

is this bait or does he not know how two's complement works and why it's used everywhere

@vereisyaps I don't know.

why's everyone doing those programming question posts now? let's be real aren't we all just gonna ask the llm to fix it or optimize it? do we miss that? actually using our brains? enough to cosplay competent engineer circa 2012?

@yutongwu111140 @zuhaitz_dev no

@zuhaitz_dev 应该学rust

Fuck you all, I am learning modern C++ This is your fault

@valigo Those AI bros really know why they're doing! Let's hire them!

rsync is one of the most critical pieces of Linux userspace btw. It powers infinite amount of backup and sync workflows. Using unsupervised clankers on it is a real war crime

@Laz4rz Are these companies *TRYING* to piss us off??!? Who do they think they are?

Call me Eastern European, but I have a bad feeling about this
