  • Terms for intentional anti-extensibility

    Jump

  • Yes, the better solution is probably not on the programming layer :D I was still interested in a specific term to this approach to look up to what extent somebody can drive this.

  • What is your personal perception of people that like to listen to metal? Does that change based upon age?

    Jump

  • I don't really have a perception of people that like to listen to metal, because that's a huge amount of different people. This definitely did change. I'm not sure, if it was due to my younger age or the strength of genre stereotypes at the end of the 2000s, but at that time I didn't even realize how much of the music I listened to was metal. I associated metal more with the stereotyped metal heads than the actual music.

  • Do you guys read programming books? How do you make the most out of it?

    Jump

  • If we're talking about programming language guides in particular, following a guided introduction to a new language was helpful to me, when I was introduced to new concepts and perspectives. And Rust is the best example in my case. Personally I probably would've struggled more and longer in practice without learning about ownership, lifetimes and borrowing in theory first, because it's an essential part of almost anything, even strings, and yet it's not too difficult to understand in theory.

    But at the end of the day, you can start rawdogging it and use the Rust book or any other guide, when you're facing a roadblock. If you do so, please share your experience.

  • What is the point of Windows recall?

    Jump

  • It is a problem worth solving. Terrorism is a problem that needs solving and killing all people on earth is a solution. The next question is whether or not it is an appropriate solution to the problem.

  • What video game are you waiting to see a new sequel for?

    Jump

  • Kenshi 2, but I just want a remastered version that makes it more playable.

  • What is the worst website you have ever been on?

    Jump

  • Video Games Can’t Afford to Look This Good

    Jump

  • Well, everyone has their priorities. The problem is that even the people, who do value realistic graphics the most, are not captured by new AAA games.

  • the amount of slop saying "wait till the end" is too damn high

    Jump

  • Whether it's 15 seconds, minutes or hours doesn't matter, because they care about the decision that we make immediately.

  • What did everyone grab during the Steam Winter Sale?

    Jump

  • Nothing. It was a difficult choice, but it was a necessary sacrifice in favor of the games, collecting dust in my library :*-)

  • How have influencers impacted the software world?

    Jump

  • If we're talking about people who simply make video content about software development, then the biggest impact I see is a bigger reach for any tool that needs to be seen in action or simply sounds too strange on paper. In recent years HTMX was probably affected the most.

    I see that a lot of people boil it down to tutorials, but there is so much more content about software development.

  • Are you tired of political content on lemmy? (crossposting outside of .ml)

    Jump

  • I'm tired of seing the same superficial content everywhere in general. I just accept it and try to quickly scroll past them.

  • DNA

    Jump

  • (But it'd be bad satire to repeat the joke)

  • What is the worst fandom you've ever been a part of?

    Jump

  • Pro wrestling

  • What object that you recently had bought really love?

    Jump

  • It has a Linux-based OS that you can SSH. You can install community-maintained stuff with Toltec. The Awesome Remarkable is a great overview.

    However for 3rd-Party software and more general features, even with the openness, it doesn't come close to Onyx. In general, the remarkable is more focused on distraction-free e-reader and note-taking capabilities. And honestly even being part of this target audience, if it wasn't for the affordable replacement offer, I probably would've rather looked into other e-ink devices.

  • What object that you recently had bought really love?

    Jump

  • It took a bath in ice tea for a few hours and it suffered even more when I stupidly connected it to the PC before I saw the wet folio and bag. I probably would've looked into other alternatives, too, if I didn't receive a replacement offer for ~130€. I love it, but it does have many faults, that for some people may be unacceptable for the price. But that seems to be the current state of e-ink tech in general.

  • What object that you recently had bought really love?

    Jump

  • I bought the Remarkable 2 about two years ago, but since I had to get a replacement, I guess it counts. I love the e-paper's magical feeling in general. Remarkable in particular amazes me with the openness e.g. giving me SSH access to the Linux-based system. I wish they'd focus on customization, tinkering and stability, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case.

  • You are now inside the body of a high profile person you know nothing of. How would you try to maintain the facade of that individual with least suspicion?

    Jump

  • I'd tell them the truth, because it's unbelievable on its own. Maybe I'll add some obvious lies to make the truth sound even more ridiculous.

  • Do you (or anyone you know) have a fear (or I guess you can call this a paranoia) that people who are living with you, are snooping on your phones/computers/storage devices/journals/etc?

    Jump

  • Honestly, I sometimes fear that I live in a more extreme Truman Show, where everyone can read my thoughts and plays along. So yeah, kinda?

  • What fraction of holiday gifts do you ignore, regift, or discard?

    Jump

  • I don't ignore, re-gift or discard any gifts, at least not immediately. But it's extremely rare to satisfy me with a gift. It only happens when they know exactly what I'd have purchased myself in near future or if the person behind the gift means so much to me. Other than that, I prefer to not receive any gifts at all.
