i think it’s mainly people being cranky and set in their ways. they got used to working around all the footguns/bad design decisions of the C/C++ specifications and really don’t want to feel like it was all for nothing. they’re comfortable with C/C++, and rust is new and uncomfortable. i think for some people, being a C/C++ developer is also a big part of their identity, and it might be uncomfortable to let that go.

i also think there’s a historical precedent for this kind of thing: when a new way of doing things emerges, many of the people who grew up doing it the old way get upset about it and refuse to accept that the new way might be an improvement.

gone but not forgotten….

There is also the hilariously misguided belief that good coders do not produce bugs so there’s no need for debugging.

i’m terrified of people who think this way. my experience has been that they are much less inclined to check for bugs in their code and tend to produce much buggier code

this seems like the only proper way to do anything in C++. it’s a language where there’s 5 ways to do 1 thing and 1 way to do 5 things.

yep, this is a lemmy.ml post alright

they should nationalize intel if they really care about chip independence

i wonder what makes those names so rare

go for it

i forgot for a second that the winters and summers get flipped in the southern hemisphere

being a prompt engineer is so much more than typing words. you also have to sometimes delete the words and then type new ones

they’re probably assuming it will be like every skyrim update released in the past 10 years, which is a fair assumption.

and this update has also caused the widely anticipated fallout london project being indefinitely postponed. in the article linked, you can see the fallout london project lead saying:

“But with the new update dropping just 48 hours [after Fallout London’s original release date], the past four years of our work stand to just simply break.”

i don’t really see what good it does to say “nobody can know that at this time”, when people have every reason to think that it will break their mods. i mean sure, nobody knows the future, but you can say that about literally every single prediction made about anything in the future. it’s a tautology. are you trying to imply people shouldn’t make predictions about anything?

yeah it has. it’s a photoshopped picture of todd howard

running copilot on a 95 or 98 server would make even less sense

how could it be installed on a 2022 server if copilot launched in 2023?

Will uninstall actually get rid of it?

maybe for a couple months

back in my day we only had one language. it was called ASSEMBLY. wanted to make the computer do something? you had to ask it yourself. and that worked JUST FINE

real professionals keep an opened egg in their holster with the hot sauce already inside

you could set your country with a vpn 😎

the alarm has been raised for quite some time. why are these articles written like they’re unaware of the past?

yeah the period/comma switch up has caused me some trouble while studying abroad (mostly by apple). the calculator app for example will show a period (to specify decimals), but pressing it will insert a comma (to specify decimals), despite my number formatting settings being set to use periods for decimals.

i probably should’ve added an /s to my comment
