It's also just a huge fallacy. He's saying that people just choose to not write memory safe code, not that writing memory safe code in C/C++ is almost impossible. Just look at NASA's manual for writing safe C++ code. It's insanity. No one except them can write code that's safe and they've stripped out half the language to do so. No matter how hard you try, you're going to let memory bugs through with C/C++, while Rust and other memory safe languages have all but nullified a lot of that.

Also, writing memory safe code honestly isn’t that hard. It just requires a different approach to problem solving, that just like any other design pattern, once you learn and get used to it, is easy.

the CVE list would disagree with you.

it does if the other ones have edible seeds, seeds without arsenic, or fewer seeds... your analogy makes no sense.

You can write cross platform mobile (and desktop and even browser) apps with Kotlin.

I've been saying this for years. My site only has a few lines of javascript. the rest is pure html and css, and it's very simple. https://tylerthrailkill.com

Hm. what browser are you on? It is showing sun for me on light mode.

It shouldn't be like that. on my computer it shows the sun when it's in light mode, moon in dark mode.

that post is about toggle buttons, not switches. e.g. a play pause button, when pressed, does it show play, or does it show pause?

snowe Mod , 3 months ago

I've wondered what this problem was for years but never cared to figure it out, because it always resolved after the first button press (just refresh the page and it all works properly). turns out it is something wrong with my use of local storage to save your theme state. if you don't have the key in local storage then it does what you mentioned. I just need to switch this to prefers-color-scheme anyway.

snowe Mod , 3 months ago

still, people are clearly confused by the button. I'm just gonna make it an animation and prefers-color-scheme since that's so widely supported now.

snowe Mod , 3 months ago

Because no one ever uses those. Literally > and | are the only ones I’ve ever seen in over a decade and you will never need to worry about the differences between the two.

XML as a configuration language is terrible. Yaml gets the point across in an easily readable way, which is exactly the point. Same for JSON except JSON you can’t even use comments (you need json5 or one of the numerous other alternatives to get those).

my keyboard looks like this... so... no?

https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/136e1055-3528-466c-b9f7-12ebd634133f.jpeg

and honestly it's so much nicer to program with a small keyboard. everything is exactly where you need it to be. I don't ever have to reach for a key, as they're all right there. And I can make them do literally anything I want. So many benefits of a small keyboard over a full size.

snowe Mod , 3 months ago

It’s a crkbd also known as a corne, like the other person said. There’s hundreds of types of switches available, the keyboard in the picture has Khail Box Jades and Khail Box Royals.

The style of keyboard is a split ergomechanical keyboard. The size is 36% or 40% depending on what generation of keyboard nerd you are.

For looks. The middle cable is needed to allow the sides to communicate, but you only need one side plugged into the computer.

That’s why for typical project it is useful to merge pull requests into the main branch — the linear sequence of merge commits is a record of successful CI runs, and is a set of commits you want to git bisect over.

… if you do this you completely negate your ability to use git bisect…

snowe Mod , 4 months ago

My point was about merging in general. Unless you’re either

1. Making sure every single commit builds
2. Squashing and merging, with no merge commit

Then you’re not going to be able to effectively use git bisect.

You can replace almost all aspects of oh my zsh just by using fish shell. Like straight out of the box it does most of it. I switched off of a completely customized zsh (oh my zsh didn’t do enough for me) and fish is able to do everything I did with my custom zsh setup.

And yet all of Israel’s disinformation is allowed to stay up…

snowe , 4 months ago

lol my silence is not an answer. I don’t spend inordinate amounts of time on the internet so have no need to respond within a day much less a week. Here’s one example of the numerous misinformation that Israel has been spreading, coming from a news source that actually helped spread Israel’s disinformation.

washingtonpost.com/…/al-shifa-hospital-gaza-hamas…

snowe , 4 months ago

You evidently had enough time to post elsewhere, so it’s not unreasonable to think you might’ve read my reply already.

Evidently? Huh?

How is the WP article showing misinformation? It basically boils down to “Israel alleged something and provided some evidence, but we think it’s not conclusive”. It does not show that Israel knowingly lied about anything, which is what you’re insinuating.

The article is literally about how Israel claimed a bunch of things as complete truths and then every single thing they claimed was wrong.

This has been the case for almost everything Israel has said until this point. They lied about hostages being raped, they lied about not going to bomb specific areas, they lied about certain areas being safe for Palestinians, they lied about only trying to kill hamas, and have killed over 20k civilians as a result, they lied about not actively trying to kill journalists. The list is endless. It’s perfectly clear that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians and if you support that, I’m sorry but you’re absolutely evil.

Really weird to compare to Python and C/++ when Java’s closest competitors are definitely C# and Kotlin. If you were to rewrite that list comparing Kotlin and Java it would literally be nothing in favor of Java and all the same benefits for Kotlin plus more safety features. Honestly the whole article seemed forced, like @balder1993 said below. The part about java having ‘functional programming’ is also a laugh. It’s all based on interfaces, and you have to use terminal operations to do anything on a stream, it’s terrible design.

Asdf is what you’re looking for. We use it in every repo and it manages every tool version with no issues.

I would say it’s more a cautionary tale about how people’s health is often far more important than anything we do in daily life. This focus on deliveries over life is quite worrying

I use all these tools so little that I have to relearn them every single time, making them much less useful to me than they would be otherwise.

snowe Mod , 5 months ago

I meant tools like jq. I hardly ever use it as it’s hard to use and as a result I forget it making it even harder to use. The same applies to awk, sed, etc. Any tool with a bunch of command line flags and hard to understand arguments and syntax will always be low on my “want to use” list. Ripgrep is a prime example of how to build a command line app that is easy to use every time without trying to remember a billion things.

Not really a thing. Google is trying to make it seem like there is, but I’ve never met a single person that has ever cared.

snowe , 5 months ago

The underlying CR report is more detailed but it’s still a dumb study because it’s reported problems from the consumer, not actual problems. E.g. eco mode on the Ioniq 5 is a “problem” even though it worked as designed. Also they proceed to recommend Tesla even though Tesla has the worst reliability rating in the industry according to numerous other studies. Overall terrible study.

If you’re tired of Java you can always do Kotlin, it’s a lot less wearing on your soul. And there’s tons of job opportunities.

are there any certs you would recommend, if they even exist?

honestly… if I see certs on a resume I immediately get suspicious. In general certs are worth absolutely nothing and if there are too many of them they will actually make me less likely to recommend someone for a position. Experience is way more valuable than certifications and open source work is even more valuable than that.

The whole point of NameDrop is to add a new contact. So by definition it literally won’t be usable for airdrop if airdrop is set to contacts only.

Roku is literally chock full of ads, and they send whatever you’re watching back to their ad partners. I thought Roku was good too until I recently bought one of their top of the line boxes and it had ads _everywhere _ compared to my Roku tv. I immediately went out and bought an Apple TV and couldn’t be happier. No ads anywhere, and is way snappier than Roku.

snowe , 5 months ago

Roku has tons of Home Screen ads what are you talking about? It was so bad I spent about 5 minutes using it until I went and bought an Apple TV.

snowe , 5 months ago

It shows content from whatever app you have highlighted. If you were recently watching Love is Blind on Netflix and you hover over Netflix it will show a love is blind banner. If you were watching pirated stuff from your home server on Infuse then hovering over infuse will show you the most recent thing you opened. They’re not ads, it’s just a “recent” list.
