because explicitly declaring types can be redundant, if the compiler knows a lot of the times you should also know

also because some types are extremely cursed: see std views/ranges

imagine being a conservative. the jokes write themselves

I specifically said this advice because dual booting windows with Linux is a terrible idea.

Although you are right, if you USB read/write is slow it will be a sluggish experience.

You should just test run it from a bootable usb.

Install steam. Mount your NTFS drive which contains your windows games. If you have sims on steam use steam. If not take a look at lutris before doing any of the above.

Your experiment ends when you’ve tested all games you want to play.

Now: You cannot use NTFS (windows) drive for games, although you did it in the experiment long extended usage is discouraged.

So you will need to find a way to transfer your games to a different formatted drive. (ext4, btrfs for example)

If you don’t need that advice you will eventually run into frustrating issues.

"grug try watch patiently as cut points emerge from code and slowly refactor, with code base taking shape over time along with experience. no hard/ fast rule for this: grug know cut point when grug see cut point, just take time to build skill in seeing, patience

sometimes grug go too early and get abstractions wrong, so grug bias towards waiting

big brain developers often not like this at all and invent many abstractions start of project

grug tempted to reach for club and yell “big brain no maintain code! big brain move on next architecture committee leave code for grug deal with!”

Honestly, if they want to go full enterprise at least use the javabeanfactoryfactoryfactory pattern

I have nothing to add except: man’s really wrote like 7 classes to just have 1 function each

I will say. if you have no idea at least clone your branch so you can experiment on it.

I started with nano and I hated it, I didn’t understand what anything meant in the bottom bar, like what is ^X. Unironically vim was easier to understand. I know what it is now but as a new user I didn’t like using it.

I’m sure emacs is great but I learned about vim and neovim first so it’s kind of a done deal already, not a lot of us Linux users are open source enthusiasts with so much time that we can noodle in all different flavors of text editors.

vim works great for me shrug, if emacs works great for you then awesome

aweehh !! I have work!! and I love so much to slave away for my corporate slave masters !! bullshit.

it sure is convenient to have an excuse to let your country fall

that’s IIS as well, I think it’s because we had our severs configured in a reverse proxy and hitting IIS and failing before the http serverhad returned a response caused the 502 error, completely useless error.

(not very experienced with server configs so forgive me if the language isn’t 100%)

that’s everyday with the legacy web app at work, it crunches up code in a templating process and all the errors become either completely meaningless or just “error 500”

well, no. everything is a god damn web app because everything runs browsers.

so why write native (device) applications if the device can run a browser ? just write code for the browser, which also runs on desktop. now you have a cross platform app without needing 5 different teams

Yep, I was shocked to see that there is no defacto 1st party framework and during my time searching online I found lots of “use x, use y, no y is dead and none uses it, no x is terrible” which is how I found Avalonia.

I still don’t think there’s a solid Windows gui framework, but I haven’t looked in years.

pretty much every windows GUI framework is trash or a pain in the ass to deal with except for Avalonia (my beloved), but it’s more cross platform.

I’m not sure if this is 100% real but it very well could be. although imo makes me think of skill issue (not because the system makes sense, but these problems don’t really seem like problems to me, just minor set backs)

every time I see this it always follows with comment that reopens the issue. inactive != resolved.

that’s why I’m so on the fence about spamming my tech skills in resume. on one hand it’s completely factual and is probably favoured by whatever AI garbage is processing the resume.

on the other hand to the human that reads it. it’s probably just dumb and hard to prove, they’re not going to test me on 20 competency skills for the things I have listed

your company either wants change that you can take action on or thy will let their software rust and become irrelevant

if it’s genuinely upsetting you consider looking for other jobs or unironically just caring less

I made plenty of pitch calls on things we can improve and there’s always some bullshit excuse

that’s modern dev for you. least optimal solution but the most hyped. call it hype driven development
