Shadonototro··on Intel CEO: Clients Want Custom x86-Based SoCs
so you make choices based on how much profitable your portfolio will be?

china? you bring politics too?

who are you?

Shadonototro··on Intel CEO: Clients Want Custom x86-Based SoCs
that's not true, i want ARM and soon RISCV boards
Shadonototro··on My £4 a month server can handle 4.2M requests a day
i'm running my SaaS for 10 years already, and still using the same $5 plan a month

HTTPS and certificates? i have no clue how to setup that, i use dns from cloudflare and they have it all automatic for free

if your employees are asking you to pay ton of money for your services, hire someone else

Shadonototro··on Looking into Odin and Zig
odin is much nicer

zig feels like it forces me to type, constantly, all the time, i get tired at the end of the day.. and the code becomes a huge pain to manage

not to mention the "unused variable" = error, i gave up on the language the day they pushed this change.. very counter productive

How can this be legal?

It's basically pirating content

Shadonototro··on Linus Torvalds: “GitHub creates useless garbage merges”
He is not wrong
Shadonototro··on Revolt: Open-source alternative to Discord
Good point
Shadonototro··on Revolt: Open-source alternative to Discord
it's not written in Rust, it is written in Typescript

the backend is written in Rust

if you use Discord, you don't care about the backend, it doesn't run on your machine

This is something i notice about rust users, they promote "written in Rust" more than the products

Very bad marketing

Shadonototro··on German government wants to support Tesla battery cell plant with 1.14B euros
Germany didn't learn a thing, at all

Don't plant seeds in your own people

Import foreign plants, better, let your own seeds rot

Shadonototro··on Google introduces $50 4G smartphone
> The most affordable 4G smartphone of India, JioPhone Next will began pre-booking from next week. The phone has been created in collaboration with Google. Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited, doing business as Jio, is an Indian telecommunications company and a subsidiary of Jio Platforms, headquartered in Mumbai, under the chairmanship of Mukesh Ambani.

It's not google, it is Jio

Shadonototro··on Why can an ad break the Windows 11 desktop and taskbar?
their native stack is so bad that they though the web tech would be a much better and solid alternative

this is very sad on many levels

windows needs a full reboot, and even that i'm not sure it's gonna be saved, it's poorly managed

they can't even agree on what this version is, internals says windows 10, marketing team says windows 11

billion dollar company, they said

Shadonototro··on Amazon’s answer to delivery driver shortage: Pot smokers
that's democracy right; 2 people get to choose what is the truth and what deserve to be hidden or censored

propaganda is fine, as long as portfolio grows

Shadonototro··on Amazon’s answer to delivery driver shortage: Pot smokers
i got downvoted for specifying a fact, i now understand why certain things gets to the frontpage ;)
Shadonototro··on Amazon’s answer to delivery driver shortage: Pot smokers
yeap, that is why they specifically say:

> Ibuprofen can cause blurred vision, drowsiness, and dizziness. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how ibuprofen affects you

Shadonototro··on Web-based editor
> Pressing the dot ( . ) key while browsing any repository on GitHub.

if you are using a QWERTY keyboard layout, yet again, decision made by someone self centered, probably a mac user since github's font looks so bad on linux

show me your portfolio ;)
Shadonototro··on Music streaming payouts comparison
i notice a trend.. ;)

Shadonototro··on Music streaming payouts comparison
$400k for only just 100M streams? that's a lot of money

only people with $AAPL in their portfolio can be against this

Playing your music in the metro doesn't automatically give you money, a stream shouldn't automatically give you money

Music is art, you offer your art, and it's up to the person to choose to support you

If you can't get your art to people, you can't expect people to support you

Stream != engagement

Shadonototro··on Alternative Milks
why push for alternatives? only to create more products to sell you, i really hate this western mentality, no wonder asia is becoming the dominant civilization
Shadonototro··on Microsoft is threatening to withhold Windows 11 updates if your CPU is old
i'll be on linux!
Shadonototro··on Friendship ended with the garbage collector
GC can be a good thing, when you want to quickly sketch a new program of simply want to act as a scripting language and do a task as quick as possible without too much thinking

That said, i'd still prefer a simple Reference Counting than a full GC as it's quite memory hungry and collections introduce pauses.. wich is not a desirable behavior at all, even though pauses can be solved, i'm no a fan of the idea that a language manage my memory in unpredictable ways

The reason i use D is because i can use it just like C/C++ (with modern niceties such as module, slices, metaprogramming and fast compile time) with my own allocators, completely ignoring the GC

But whenever i need a quick and dirty "script" (it almost never happen), instead of using bash or python, well i simply just use D with its GC, but again, as i said above, i'd prefer a simple RC instead.. but yeah.. it's no big deal since i prefer to manage memory my way anyways

A perfect language understands your intent without impacting your workflow with slow compile time due to heavy, restrictive and slow compile time static analysis (borrow checker for example)

Shadonototro··on I switched from macOS to Linux after 15 years of Apple
Gnome is the reason why people don't stay on linux

I was so happy when Valve announced they'd ditch debian/ubuntu and gnome

Shadonototro··on We Hire Old People
what about you hire people and stop focusing on age
Shadonototro··on Roblox faces criticism for 'exploiting' young game developers
some people are jealous they didn't buy the IPO when it was cheap, some FOMO in hopes they can buy some now lol

i am omniscient

Shadonototro··on GitHub Discussions is out of beta
> VS Code is really great for the amount of features it has.

vscode isn't popular for being vscode

there was already atom back in the days

vscode became popular because it was "relatively" "faster" than atom, and was better at being hackable

vscode is now insanely popular due to its ecosystem, the people and their plugins made vscode popular

Shadonototro··on C++20 Modules with GCC11
It's not, it still the same bullshit where you need to predeclare everything that is written bellow in your file or elsewhere

C++20 modules from 60 years ago when people didn't know how to design modules

They haven't looked at how languages such as D/Rust/Zig/Swift are doing, instead they went blind and they built a "new" thing with the limitations of their old design

What a shame

Shadonototro··on C++20 Modules with GCC11
I was waiting for C++20 modules to finally come back to using C++ again.. and what a disapointment

You still have to predeclare everything......... and you can't have circular dependency....

They learnt nothing, and they missed an opportunity to be relevant again

C++ is definitely dead, at least to me

This is so sad..

Shadonototro··on NvChad: An attempt to make Neovim TUI as functional as an IDE
as functional as an IDE? X doubt

how do you debug your native program?

Shadonototro··on Wgpu-0.10 released: WebGPU implementation now in pure Rust
that's exactly what i am saying, they want to confuse people

why deny

Shadonototro··on Wgpu-0.10 released: WebGPU implementation now in pure Rust
I first thought wgpu was WebGPU, i googled and it is not

https://www.w3.org/TR/webgpu/

Naming is important, you want to avoid confusing as much as possible
