C++ is way ahead of C in the same way that a metastasized cancer is way ahead of a benign tumor

Ligatures 🤢🤮🤮

Memory bugs are only a tiny share of the foot guns in C++

This is basically C++ in the embedded world, and yes it’s the only good C++

Fish is for cats

Attention and awareness of the ways in which modern technology is harming ourselves.

We’re providing people with the electronic equivalent of heroin, from a young age, completely rewiring our brains and detaching us from nature and each other.

Lol cgi page generators written in C were the OG web framework. Maybe perl too.

C, because it can run everywhere and I won’t be limited on the things I can make

IBM Plex Mono is such a fancy, refined font. The line spacing is a bit too high for my liking though 😞

DVSM is timeless. IMO Hack makes a few subtle improvements like the zero, i/l, and some punctuation characters

Each commit includes the diff and metadata (like parent commits).

Commits don’t store diffs, so you’re wrong from the start here.

Hence why people say “git is hard”

On the plus side no users means no bug reports or feature requests

I’m working on a project that generates ideas for new coding projects.

Unity jumped the shark.

Engine was trash anyway. Unreal for lyfe.

I think vzq’s point is that you can write good, readable code that doesn’t do what the user wants. Same with other metrics that are ripe for navel-gazing like code coverage.

It’s bordering on a false dichotomy… but I also believe that dynamic, untyped languages have proven exceptionally useful for rapid prototyping and iteration.

its possible to write a single text file that is valid bash/dash/zsh/powershell and valid JavaScript all at the same time. It sounds impossible, but there is enough overlapping syntax that actually any javascript program can be converted into a valid bash script without mangling the JS code.

I’m both impressed and horrified

Unfortunately shell script is not as portable as you might be anticipating. Different distro run different shells, with different settings, and also different tools. Think BSD grep vs GNU grep.

Of course gigachad uses a thinkpad

/r/place on hard mode

A self-documenting, extensible lisp computing environment that uses text buffers as its main data format.

Fascinating and well written

lol gottem

When is hexbear sending its CCP Defense Brigade to this thread?

That laptop is a MacBook Pro, can it even run Arch in a usable fashion?

Jerboa is a native android app, so that’s nice.

You can just type “make” in the directory and it will do what you expect

Just whipped up a slack bot to override the pipelines and automatically merge your pull requests

This was a super interesting read

God please no. The BDFL model is vastly superior when it comes to consistency and quality. Committees fuck everything up.

If Linus’s tenure prematurely ended then Greg KH would take his place.

Feel sorry for anyone who willingly installs that spyware trash

I had kindle unlimited a decade ago and it was decent. Lots of good sci-fi and fantasy.

Then overnight the entire catalog became “shape shifting billionaire stepbrother bear” and other trash. It’s like browsing your spam folder.

I do a substantial amount of software development inside a Linux VM on an M2 Pro. Runs fine. The guest OS is AArch64 too.

I use Lima for this.

Nobody drowned, they were instantaneously squished under the massive pressure of the deep sea

TBH that would make the sub significantly better

No, just the ones on antiwork
