  • two verbose flags makes it extra verbose

    tcpdump intensifies

    But what tool did you have in mind?

  • Games you fell out of love with.

    Jump

  • yeah swinging swords makes that cheap metallic noise. Quests don't have the pull that we expect them to. None of the characters are interesting. No continuity with quests. I notice the bugs that Tod Howard never fixed but re-released with bigger textures, which only makes the greed more palpable.

  • Rust Coreutils Continues Working Toward 100% GNU Compatibility, Proving Trolls Wrong

  • You're a rube if you think corporations can't throw some money at interns do a rewrite in MIT and bypass GPL that way.

  • In a place without access to US apps and online services, how would you use the Internet?

    Jump

  • I would use the internet like I did back in 2005 I guess. Seriously... the necessity of these tech companies is a mixture of them sniffing their own farts too much, propaganda from them to ensure they are perceived as essential, and finally people being too lazy to find alternatives.

  • Back-end programmer for gig economy company describes how the sausage is made.

    Jump

  • The conjecture that: when tech bros talk about "disrupting the market" it's actually a dogwhistle for fraud and subverting regulations with illegal tactics quick enough to grow very big and influence governments to alter the policies in their favor; gets one more example to make it into a theorem.

  • Hollywood Warns: ‘Extortionary’ Codec Patent Fees Could Hike Streaming Subscription Prices

    Jump

  • Lol MPAA can get fucked. For years they wanted this when it was about their own profits but now that it is their hand that is being bitten, they cry.

  • VirtualBox has been packaged as a Flatpak

    Jump

  • The backend is not virtualbox stuff but KVM stuff. Only the frontend is virtualbox. so one can claim that it's more apt to say this is "virtualbox-ui"

  • Worst advice ever. Your blood pressure will rise and you will wish you were a farmer.

  • Don't hold your breath. Helps avoid disappointment.

  • does Linux actually enhance battery life?

    Jump

  • In the future? This is lemmy, we can actually edit titles.

  • Why Circular AI Deals Among OpenAI, Nvidia, AMD Are Raising Eyebrows

    Jump

  • It looks like the circle that is forming over the AI industry is going to soon turn into a spiral that collapses into the center i.e. NVIDIA.

  • Meta: other challenges, such as everybody.codes

    Jump

  • Keep Advent Of Code and Everybody.codes together => More activity in this community, more discoverability for either competitions. Only drawback => polluted feed. Which can be fixed by the tags.

  • May push users towards offshore crypto casinos

    Which shouldn't make us work in the opposite direction. Next step is regulation of the crypto space.

    This would make it illegal for internet service providers (ISPs) and web-hosting services to support RMG platforms such as Dream11, Mobile Premier League (MPL), Winzo, etc. It would also force Apple and Google to remove such apps from their respective app stores.

    Sounds good to me. These gambling companies grew out of nowhere in the past 10 years and have started dominating sponsorship spots in TV, Prestigious sports tournaments.

  • How do ya'll choose what tool to get things done with?

    Jump

  • I give up if there is no one tool but a million of them. Come back later and repeat.

    Eventually just write it in python.

  • A minor headache for a beginner coder

    Jump

  • which makes sense to me. params is passing the reference to the dict into the function. Whereas, **params is expanding the dict into the scope of the function before calling the first line of the body.

    You can update the content of the former in-place, while the latter is just syntactic sugar for variadic function arguments.

  • What problems does Linux have to overcome to get more users

    Jump

  • You're ignoring 20+ years of how it was the only player when web wasn't so big as it is today. It was a major reason windows became the default OS in many offices, and as an extension of that, in the majority of homes in the 2000s to 2015. Thus majority of software industry and video gaming companies made their home in windows. Adobe Photoshop, AutoCAD, and many other industry software was made to work in Windows first.

    There was also the case of Microsoft tilting the playing field by significantly discounting laptop and Desktop OEMs for Windows license keys just to be the sole OS installed on many computers. The concept of a PC was one which was running some version of Windows.

    This also lead to another compounding aspect: Piracy of windows software made the windows AD/Server experts of today. Since Linux was free, there wasn't as much of an intrigue on running it vs. A pirated copy of windows running pirated copy of many software.

  • Unproductive Engineer here: I am not productive because of constant meetings about doing things. I am now not productive because of Meetings about doing things using AI.

    Edit: Forgot to add, Senior engineers are too overloaded to do any PRs.. So usually it takes them weeks to get around to looking at the code the manager wanted pushed two weeks back. And often, they miss stuff that seems obvious in hindsight because they are burnt out. The genius solution by management: Copilot code reviews. Yes, AI gets to nitpick about the curly brackets and tabs vs. spaces all over again.

  • My skill prevents bugs, unlike your fancy compiler, peasant.

    Jump

  • but that's just a choice whereas in C you have no choice but write flawless code.

  • Anyone want to make a game together?

    Jump

  • Not OP but the advice to limit the scope kind of kills the fun for me. I don't want to code up the 100th variant of pong or pokemon-look-alike.
