It's not THAT complicated but I wouldn't call it dead simple. When you understand how git works internally yeah it's pretty simple but people usually start with the idea that it's a tool to put your code on a server to synchronize with other people and only later learn that you have both a local and a remote (or multiple remote) tree and how the tree really works.

I think the problem is most git 101 tutorials teach it wrong, IMO the best git tutorial is this: https://wildlyinaccurate.com/a-hackers-guide-to-git/

Unfortunately it's pretty dense so it's gonna scare off a lot of newbies.

These platforms are basically just one step removed from pure landlordism. Same goes for Uber and similar shit. The platforms themselves are usually cheap to maintain, the exception here might be Youtube since it does gobble up a whole lot of bandwidth and storage but come on nobody streams $10 worth of bandwidth a month.

She didn't mistreat thousands of warehouse employees or spy on and manipulate three generations with social media to do it.

Maybe, but most music industry jobs are kinda shit same as any other job. The people that help set up the stage, the people working on her makeup, costumes, the people working in the labels, cleanup crews after concerts, people doing marketing/promotion etc. they all contribute to her success. Sure it's overall probably a bit less exploitative than Amazon warehouses but exploitation still happens.

You don't make a billion dollars on your own.

Quite juvenile behavior from the devs.

The constant closing and reopening the issue was a bit weird but I didn't really see any hostility or toxic behavior, except from you getting pissy about it out of nowhere.

The researchers estimate that if the system is scaled up to the size of a small suitcase, it could produce about 4 to 6 liters of drinking water per hour and last several years before requiring replacement parts. At this scale and performance, the system could produce drinking water at a rate and price that is cheaper than tap water.

Sounds too good to be true tbh but I'd very much like to be wrong.

Eh, that's unfortunate. Yeah the whole ecosystem is still a bit wonky, probably more wonky than most popular languages but tbh I rarely used a stack that just worked out of the box, it almost always took some dicking around, I'd rather do the dicking around with a language that doesn't always seem to work against me.

because no compiler can check to see if you thought of everything.

We can try to get closer to that with better language design. You'll never get there but I think there are obvious benefits as to why you'd want to do that.

I write way less bugs in Rust than I have in Java or C++, and that's mostly thanks to the language design.

I'm just tired of people entirely dismissing languages like C because they don't have these features. Especially when the operating systems their code runs on and their languages may even be implemented in C!

Because that code has been review and re-reviewed and patched by experts in the field for years. You're not gonna write a backend for an app with short deadlines in C because that would be absolutely fucking insane.

How long ago was this? I think the ecosystem got waaay better in the last 1-2 years. 3-4 years ago it was rough but shit still worked with a bit of trouble.

The torrent protocol wasn't designed with anonymity in mind, not Tor.

Furthermore, death to cars.

Couldn't this be more efficiently solved by having only approved users post images? Like people with some posts/comments and positive karma (or whatever it's called on lemmy).

I'll never mention anything on the plane of course because I realize the parents don't really have a choice and small children will inevitably act like small children but I can't really help being annoyed by their behavior either. Some people just don't like kids and that's fine too.

but we've got to start somewhere.

Somehow we always seem to be starting with US geopolitical enemies, never the US itself, despite literal centuries of heinous crimes.

Curious how that works.

4download.net seems to be working fine, thanks. Can't be fucked to make an account on rutracker but might check it out if 4download pisses me off enough.

I'll take Linux hardware support over Microsoft any day of the week.

I'm really undecided on this. It really depends on the type of hardware, for example when dealing with graphics card drivers, especially nvidia I'll take windows over linux any day. On the other hand on Linux I don't have to install drivers for almost anything and things mostly just work unless the device is brand new.

I've been using all of the major OSs and they're all good and they all suck in their own way. Windows does suck a bit more than the others, but I don't think it's as terrible as diehard Linux fanboys make it out to be.

I still use Windows on my home PC because bideo gaems and music production. I'd prefer to use Linux instead but oh well it's not the worst thing.

If the democrats truly are the only viable "left" option then the only reasonable course of action would be to burn the whole state apparatus down and start anew.

You won't advocate for that of course because the fact is you don't really care about things being better, you care about pretending to be on the moral high-ground, so vague platitudes about things getting better in the abstract you get from democrats is just enough for you, because you probably endure no economic hardship and politics is just an extension of sports to you.

Oooga booga

From what I've heard from Google employees Google is really stringent with their coding standards and they usually limit what you can do with the language. Like for C++ they don't even use half the fancy features C++ offers you because it's hard to reason about them.

I guess that policy makes sense but I feel like it takes out all the fun out of the job.

Damn you're such a pathetic little baby lmao, you should have disengaged like 20 comments ago.
