Reducing this to a simple language fanboy war is a massive oversimplification. Recent memory bloat and performance issues happen everywhere, whether it's C++, Java, or React. In most cases the real culprit is architecture and implement

It is premature to conclude that someone is wrong and will ultimately be replaced, as the final verdict on LLMs is not yet in. In fact, recent trends show rather negative outcomes. Multiple analyses continuously indicate that recent layoffs

I haven't really experienced disconnections while using ChatGPT. Gemini is the frustrating part. Simply backgrounding the app (and the web version too) and resuming it causes the response or the conversation with an assigned ID to disa

Creating something new for a different use case isn't pointless. It's like comparing inline skates to ice skates.

Good grief. Now the YouTube Shorts crowd is showing up here too.

It could definitely happen after a few years and yes I have already had cases where I had to trace the code again to understand them. It is still a major hassle though! I occasionally build simple CLIs that are immediately intuitive but GUI

Most of my side projects have functional core features that I use regularly but they aren't quite shippable. Building a GUI for others unfamiliar with the internal logic is incredibly difficult and tedious.

lol truly informative and clearly something no one here knew. But your terminology is inaccurate. Please change it to GNU/Linux != Unix

If it runs on Avalonia anyway why choose MAUI? If you have the option just use Avalonia. MAUI is unfinished and its docs is awful. Do you want to build an app using MAUI? Unless you build an app that barely deviates from the template, expec

The large number of Chinese products currently permitted in the U.S. demonstrates that the bans were imposed not because of their nationality, but because confirmed security risks were identified. The company's issue is not its country

No. The individuals genuinely at fault here are 1) those who inflict harm on others, considering that being wealthy or disliked does not justify actions such as death threats 2) those who target the wrong person simply due to a shared name.

Oh, I didn't know it worked that way. Thank you for the information.

Why do companies actively lie in their advertising about being eco-friendly, instead of just keeping a low profile? Is it because we tend to focus only on current events and quickly forget their past track record? Indeed, if people soon for

The smaller the attack surface, the better. There is no need to expand it unnecessarily. By your logic, we shouldn't even use the binaries provided by the official package manager, because they also cannot be trusted. We are talking ab

Actually, I don't use Debian or Ubuntu either, and I don't think it's a good idea to only support those methods.

No. It is absolutely ridiculous to suggest that one must read some unknown script just for the simple task of adding a binary to the directory on PATH. Unless, of course, you're the type of person who just runs any script without verif

Admittedly, a distro agnostic equivalent to the PKGBUILD or Nix Flakes would have been great. But it's hard to excuse them when so many better alternatives are available. Even apps that could easily be built into a single binary use th

`curl -fsSL https://tinyurl.com/2u5ckjyn | bash` This satire is amusing. Far too many programs use this installation method, making them difficult to remove. Seeing this is an immediate deterrent to installation.

Some may lament that 'writing' now includes typing, despite having been limited to pen and paper. Frankly it's doubtful that point is taken seriously. Similarly the core of your 'self-farming' analogy is the direct

LLMs generate code based on statistical patterns found in vast amounts of training data from existing projects, not by reading language specifications. If the tag is rare in the wild, it will be rare in their output.

My point wasn't about javascript. He got pushback because he ignored everyone and just did his own thing. It has nothing to do with javascript and you can see that in the link. That's a weird excuse.

Even ignoring that examples of his behavior are easily found elsewhere, the link itself shows him completely disregarding feedback from other contributors to force his own way. Honestly, I can't understand the intent behind such a defe

If he had kept his strange and alarming behavior to himself, he wouldn't be 'getting dogpiled' for it now. The problem is that he's forcing his ways on others. If we're identifying an aggressor here, it's him.

Firefox still lets you do this. You can add any URL as a custom search engine by providing a string template for the query. It doesn't have to be a formal "search provider". Any URL that accepts a query string will work.

So another Chromium based browser featuring the usual 'Privacy' and a collection of miscellaneous features. Maybe 'AI' will be added. None of this appears to go beyond what some browser extension could do. Personally I&

Agree. I dislike this trend of putting details or entire content in video format. Text is faster to consume and much more accessible.

While advancements in recycling technology are great, their overall impact is questionable when the world's most populous countries don't even sort waste and just bury or burn everything.

Flash did not disappear because of an unfortunate accident. It disappeared because Adobe was unwilling to fix its outdated system and rampant security flaws.

Right. I'd always just seen SVG as an image format. Interesting that browsers treat text inside them just like plain text.
