I haven’t used Windows at home for the past 20 years, and I mostly develop for Linux at work. You’re drunk in a bad way.

This word was obsolete more than 10 years ago, please get an update from “Micro$oft.”




Then enjoy your Windows that is forcing you to have a MS account and uploads your passwords to their servers. What was the point of your question?


Same. With UPnP, muTP, and stuff, the downloads with a VPN are not slowed down in any way. Also my ports seem to be “blocked” right now but I still download.





Fake or not, it’s karma whoring for something that you shouldn’t see because you’re using Linux, right?




You’re not a moron, you learned something useful. My experience for the past 20 years is being a moron over and over again, and I make sure to transmit that knowledge.


We can criticize the EU, but they would not allow or force people to install Chrome in order to access government web sites.


Sadly you’re right. Every migration from phpBB to Digg to Reddit filtered the people who made a minimum effort to understand the platforms, and now we have this.

And I remember all the people who were not programmers, and could still setup and administrate their own phpBB…






It was tested by some administration that loved, probably because their existing application was worse.


Years ago I joined a startup as a junior developer to work on a patented security application with SSL certificates and stuff. They had been working on it for 5 years, 10 engineers and 2 guys with PhDs, it was serious business. The thing was a prototype but it was fun to work with them. I was porting their app on Mac OS X too because the founders were sure that it would also be a success on a Mac.

Then one day I bought a HTC Desire to try this Android thing since I already knew Java. After a few tutorials, I realized that I could clone their whole app in 100 lines of code thanks to the Android API in less than a week, but it would be better, safer, and portable. I knew we were doomed. They closed the company a few months after because no one wanted their application.


You can also find a lot of public trackers or DD directories in foreign countries too.


https://www.wawacity.pink/ but the URL changes all the time. It’s mostly links to sites like Uptobox (RIP) though, not torrents or newsgroups.


Definitely. You don’t send passwords, ever, even if it’s encrypted by a quantic email server from the future.


A tour of C++ by Stroustrup, the latest edition. It’s short but good.


C++ because you have multiple versions, you can write in different styles (C, OOP, functional, meta-stuff, very low level like assembly, very high level like Python), it has undefined behaviors, and you can waste your whole life optimizing code.


Thanks for the link, I would have missed it.

Software architecture is the skill that I don’t have and I bought that bundle. Some books are unrelated to my job (like micro services) but it looks great.


I write C++ for a living but all the C# devs around me are very happy about this language.


I would report instead of posting about it, which is even more off topic.


If they are part of the same project, it’s pretty much a standard feature. You can link anything.

I’m on mobile but it seems to be this: https://www.doxygen.nl/manual/autolink.html




It’s only a sample of one but I almost doubled my salary by switching jobs. I was bullied and harassed in a shitty startup for more than 3 years. I got fat, almost had a depression and I was not doing anything interesting. Even my skills were decreasing.

A bunch of managers asked me once to do something illegal. HR was also telling me to do this because “it’s an order from the bosses.” That was the last straw and I told them to fuck off, and I resigned.

I was underpaid at this shitty company, but I accidentally found another job at a good company with nice people. My salary almost doubled overnight. I don’t want that much money but it was nice “fuck you” to my previous manager that I deeply thanked for being such an asshole.



People didn’t move when it became a social network, when Microsoft bought it, or when their IA scanned the whole code to make money from open-source projects. Only Musk buying it would change that a bit, but it still wouldn’t not destroy it.

As for me, I don’t have an account. My personal projects stay private, and for work I have pro accounts at GitLab or Azure DevOps.


Harassment from toxic managers who abuse employees verbally (insults, etc.) It happens a lot sadly.


Not Gandi. They were very reliable since the beginning of the internet but they sold the company and went downhill since.


In the past (I.e. 90s to 2000), very yes. Nowadays I don’t know, but with the war and the spying stuff, I would still avoid such sources.


A russian file labeled as a trojan? It must be perfectly safe. Or at least you’ll learn a valuable lesson.


Pikchr (an alternative to PlantUML and Mermaid.js)
I found this on Hacker News, and it seems to be an old project that no one was talking about which is a shame because it could interesting. Pikchr was written in plain C by the developers of SQLite. It generates SVG from a simple language. It is lower-level than PlantUML and Mermaid, but it seems to have no dependency. The [user manual](https://pikchr.org/home/doc/trunk/doc/userman.md) has more examples about this tool. I'll definitely try to use in future projects where some visual documentation is needed.

PRQL (Pipelined Relational Query Language)
I found this link on Hacker News, and it seems to be a transpiler to generate SQL from a new language. It's been a long time since I have written SQL, but I'm sure this could be interesting since SQL can be infuriating for most developers I've worked with.
