What do you even mean as serious contender? I’ve been using Linux for almost 15 years without an issue on CPU, and I’ve used it almost only on very modest machines. I feel we’re not getting your whole story here.

On the other hand whenever I had to do something IO intensive on windows it would always crawl in these machines

Can you point out exactly what is misrepresented and lies?

Religion is the word you’re looking for.

You’re just partially correct.

With Rust you get compile time guarantees that your code doesn’t have a specific class of vulnerabilities. Can you do that with C?

To me it feels like people romanticising their hobbies/escape activities. If they started doing it as work soon enough they would have lots of pain points and stress. Sure you don’t have CVEs or libraries to update but the deadline for that chair or cabinet you were commissioned is coming and you can’t just get the damn thing right. At the same time you have another customer complaining that you need to check some other stuff you’ve made that isn’t working right … see where I’m going?

I know a lot of people in the trades and they have very similar or analogous pain points as me in software.

Doing it as a hobby though? It’s amazing. I don’t really need a car anymore but I’ve been learning how to fix mine and it has been great

Gotta love user reported bugs. I had one that reported a product of ours crashed only on Mondays. We spent a total of 5 minutes thinking of a cause and appointed customer support for a Friday morning. Lo and behold the app still crashed.

In this case the app only crashed on Mondays… because that’s when this user actually used the application

That’s because it doesn’t : ) He is the top level engineer/manager for releases and technical consultation but there are many more engineers “under” him leading and moving the pieces into place.

The EFI binary is signed by a private key, whose public key signature is present in the trusted Signature Database (db).

Shouldn’t it be the opposite? i.e signed by a public key?

Nop what you’ve been doing is paying a billion dollar company to keep making their, once free product, worse so people can pay to make the bad parts go away.

To me, the ad tracking industry is completely out of control, and I’m not going to disable my ad blocker. So I signed up for YouTube Premium.

And you’re paying to keep it that way. You’re not paying for the added value YT Premium supposedly has, but to disable the enshitification they added on purpose for you to pay.

The only added value premium has is being able to switch off the screen and maintain YT playing. Still I’m not paying a 14$ subscription just for that. I pay that value for much more valuable software for my every day use with real added value.

I have nothing to say about CLion. I have been using it for large codebases, rust and C++, for ages. Even with neovim+LSP I get better results than vscode

And vscode doesn’t even work properly. The amount of colleagues I have using it for C++ and they can’t even get intellisense working with the f-ing thing. It’s bonkers they work that way. It takes them ages to do anything, and its not a case of them being super experienced and not needing those aides.

kwel. News communities over on lemmy are becoming as on Reddit: US news

Clearly they need to understand how… much data they can manipulate at once

There’s a setting to allow remote viewing

Lots of beer and a book

Well, for positions that could be moved to WFH perhaps. To others that would be unfair because companies would descriminate by distance to the office.

Either a troll or a just man child

Hey man why the rudeness? We’re just trying to have a conversation …
