Just different enough to break your rc files when you try to migrate :)

There has recently been some spirited debate on here about whether Linux users should be condescending elitists to disgruntled Windows users, I assume that’s what this refers to.

OS 9 released 25 years ago. That’s technically less than 30 but I think the point stands.

I’m very conflicted about that community because on the one hand they’re exactly correct that car-centric infrastructure is a fucking atrocity but on the other hand they elide that directly into demonizing car owners with seemingly no understanding that car-centric infrastructure makes car ownership mandatory in many places.

Oh cool, we’re schizoposting again

This has been a feature on iOS for a long time—I’ve still got some custom patterns from back in high school

Oh, fair enough

I never said it was only semantically different, only that you were making a semantic argument: namely, citing the semantic distinction between copying and stealing as grounds for one being acceptable and the other not (“stealing” is wrong but I’m “copying”), ignoring that the injustice against the work’s creator is not pragmatically different. Practically speaking, the author is equally robbed whether you “copy” or “steal”; therefore, arguing that copying is not stealing obscures the heart of the matter behind a semantic distinction.

That’s a semantic point. The truth is that artists deserve to be paid for their work. Whether you “copy” or “steal”, you’re getting the work without paying the creator. That’s fundamentally shitty behavior.

Cool, you hate creatives and feel entitled to their work on the basis of semantics

It’s in the name: liability. If the instance gets sued, only the LLC’s assets can be claimed.

There may be other reasons that OP has in mind, but that’s the most obvious benefit I see.

Those are arguably the most “made for humans” languages—they’re made to make humans laugh and/or headbutt a railroad spike in frustration

In my experience, very, but it’s also not magic. Being able to package an application with its environment and ship it to any machine that can run Docker is great but it doesn’t solve the fact that modern deployment architecture can become extremely complicated, and Docker adds another component that needs configuration and debugging to an already complicated stack.

They’re definitely better entertainment pound-for-pound. I’d contend that the book gives you a lot more to think about, so it really depends what you’re after. I like them both a lot–I think they complement each other very nicely.

Eh, depends on the language and the context. I still use 80 for C, but I’ve found 120 to be a much more reasonable number for Java.

Board state in marketing photos cracks me up. Who needs corners? What is a big move? Attachment fights only pls

I’ve been migrating one of my company’s apps from microservices back to monolithic Java. It’s wonderful. I haven’t touched a line of yaml in weeks.

I read that one, he literally described himself as mediocre programmer and is excited about gpt as a way for mediocre programmers to be competitive again. I’m sure he’s in for a really fun time when he has to find a bug in 12k lines of AI spaghetti he bolted together.

doesn’t understand that this is a useful first step in debugging

reacts with anger when devs don’t magically have an instant fix to a vague bug

Yep, that’s a manager
