Programming@programming.dev•GitHub faces a fight for its survival at Microsoft
21·27 days agoWhen I first became familiar with the existence of free and open source software, GitHub did not exist yet. The most popular similar website was SourceForge. (Do many people much younger than me even know that exists?)
If things could change once, they can change again.

Programming@programming.dev•Are there actually good clients for mailing lists? [Answered: No]
3·1 month agoI see. Not familiar with any good interface for that.

Programming@programming.dev•Are there actually good clients for mailing lists? [Answered: No]
1·1 month agoNo, I thought that was a separate question precisely because I don’t see a connection between merge requests and mailing lists.

Programming@programming.dev•Are there actually good clients for mailing lists? [Answered: No]
7·1 month agoI don’t currently use mailing lists but when I did, I found Thunderbird very usable. Just set up a filter to move each list’s messages to a separate folder.
For merge requests, doesn’t the default GitLab web interface do those things already …?

Programming@programming.dev•I keep tripping over “true, false, true”
111·1 month agoThat’s why IntelliJ shows you, in these kinds of cases, the names of the parameters where the function is called…
There are also languages, like Scala and Swift, with named parameters, which also solve this problem.

Programming@programming.dev•Why do native UI frameworks suck so much?
11·1 month agoI haven’t seriously used it myself, but maybe Qt Quick is somewhat like you’re looking for?

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•everyAISecretlyWantsToWriteCode
12·2 months agoDo you really think that you will get better answers on non-topical questions from these chatbots than from generic LLMs that are free to use anyway?
because when I wrote the above comment, around 80% or 90% of my lemmy homepage was just your posts, which felt kinda spammy

396·2 months agobro are you just mass-crossposting things from reddit or what? Those camel case titles aren’t really common here, you know.
OK, if it is intended mainly as a description of investors and other “business” enthusiasts, then I agree with fighting against what they want.
If I don’t know what that means I’m fighting against, I won’t be fighting against “techbros”, not even using that term. I might still fight against specific things they are doing…
I wonder if I’ll ever read a coherent definition of the term “techbro”. Aren’t most KDE (and other FOSS) developers also men interested in technology? If that isn’t the definition of “techbro”, then what is?

Opensource@programming.dev•The Dutch government just built its own GitHub
61·2 months agoThat is good news…
So, uh, I assume the Dutch government will heavily push back against any ideas to ban social media for young people in the EU? After all, a public forgejo instance is also “social media”, and surely they will find it too costly to implement an age check there? Riiiight?

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•lemmy.world is gone. who wants to sword fight?
7·2 months agoRight now I can access it. They seem to have a status page https://fhf-lemmyworld.instatus.com/ that says that earlier today there were some problems for approximately an hour? I don’t have more information than that.

Programming@programming.dev•What do you want out of a coding monospace font?
4·2 months agoMainly that I can clearly distinguish Il1 and 0O. I like DejaVu Sans Mono because it does that; if I’m limited to fonts preinstalled on Windows, Lucida Console works too.
At the time vi was originally developed, such keyboards did exist (on terminals). That’s the reason it works the way it does.








so we finally solved https://xkcd.com/949/ I guess?
