My comment is more about how we have this decentralised tool, but we’re unable to get our collective heads out of the centralised model. We e ended up turning it back into centralised VCS.

Ah… Git.

The decentralised version control system.

It’s like they want to manipulate people.

If you want a clean air zone don’t allow people to breach the zone by paying. Don’t treat it as a money making scheme.

The standard library is where project go to die.

Computer programming, regardless of language, is hard. The computer does exactly what you tell it to.

Is that an armadillo? Forgetting how my own code works is my forte.

We just did, though a democratic vote.

In situations where that’s not an option it has to be done in other ways.

…before you do it yourselves.

Are you suggesting the west should invade Russia to remove Putin?

There’s no getting away from the fact that it’s only the population of Russia that can change Russia. Sure, they can try to escape and leave, but that just leaves those who remain as the only ones able to do anything.

The most difficult part is to keep track of the big picture because it is so verbose. Otherwise it’s a handful or two of instructions you use 90+% of the time.

It’s a long time since I wrote any assembly in anger, but I don’t remember this being an issue. Back then Id be writing 2D and 3D graphics demos. Reasonably complex things, but the challenge was always getting it fast enought to keep the frame rate up, not code structure.

As you say, I think you just establish patterns to decompose the problem.

Indeed

Only the most very basic compilers. C compilers are in C mainly.

Lucky it was set in America.

There were two ways of looking at that footage.

1. Omg the Russians are just walking along unchallenged in broad daylight.

2. Omg the Russians are sending their troops in without support in broad daylight. They’re sitting ducks and the commanders don’t care.

• Slurm cluster
• MPI development

Totally understandable choice.

Half marks

Death by wasps

Final flight checks:

“It’s off, so I turn it on and … WALK AWAY!”

Similar situation, and I follow the Forgejo development. I’ve found the codeberg individuals that I’ve interacted with to be very good at what they do. They give me confidence in the wider platform.

Not even a forum.

Documentation is not a snapshot of a discussion. It largely falls into two categories

• collections of facts e.g. what command line switches there are, or all the options in the config files.
• Guides on how to use the software.

The first is vital. The second is really really useful.

The docker thing really grinds my gears. I see it as the ultimate “works on my machine” mentality. Basically they can’t be arsed to write software that is robust to changes in hosting platform.

We’ve ended up with a 50:50 chance of what any repo is doing. All depends on when the repo was created (old ones are all master) and if the creator tried to preserve consistency or not (yes: master, no: took the default of main).

It’s annoying and pointless.

I’d agree if anyone actually used the distributed nature of DVCS

It will be for the AI horde.

Then gassed repeatedly.

It was 55% for me. Higher baseline I suppose. <\s>

I’d rather have a good typing system…

So not typescript then.

I’m half joking, but the problem with typescript is that it’s JavaScript with types. The industry needs to stop retrofitting types to dynamically typed languages. The type system is an intrinsic part of the language design and if you’re going to have it, it should be there from day 1. Being dynamically typed wasn’t a language bug. It is a feature designed for a certain class of problem. I’m sure 90% of proponents only want it so they get better completion in their IDE, but I personally think it makes a lot of code far more difficult to read.

…but we have org-mode so we can take notes about things like friends and family.

Doesn’t having it private mean it wasn’t a community of 150k? It was a community of 1.

I understood taking subs NSFW to keep advertising out, but taking them private was causing the community to die. Once that went beyond a few days it was time to shift platform.

I don’t think he was drawing a comparison.

Mobile development sucks in general.

It just needs dark mode to turn it 2020s

I was rather peeved I had to give an email to create an account on Lemmy. It shouldn’t be needed.

The Network Time Protocol was certainly one of these for a long time, although I think it gets reasonable support now.

Having the clock read the same on all the computers in the world makes so many thing possible.
