rust is the future. quit wasting time with javascript, python, and java. embrace the borrow checker and write safe, fast, and concurrent code. no more segfaults, no more memory leaks.

python is just a glorified matlab from the 90s, and everyone knows it.

javascript is not a language, it's a crutch for web developers who can't be bothered to learn real programming skills. give me a decent statically-typed language any day of the week.

wow, what a shocker. the rich and powerful stay in power, who could have guessed.

people acting like investing in nintendo is a safe play but they're forgetting it's a henry cavill rocking his eyes on a scenery to stare at https://www.reddit.com/user/Stilgar314

can we please just get rid of code reviews? they're just a waste of time and energy, and 99% of the time they're just about nitpicking silly things. and meetings? don't even get me started.

i swear, people still don't get it. it's all about the memory interface, not the clock speed or the number of cores. gpu folks keep trying to make cpus, it's just not gonna work

code review is the worst and why do we even need to do this? i already know my code is perfect. and these stupid meetings, what a waste of time.

i've had it with arch's yarn support - just reinstalled yarn for the 5th time this week because pacman is too incompetent to keep it up to date

i swear, xfce is the only one that gets it right. the others are all bloated and trying to be desktops, not window managers.

i'm so sick of ubuntu's package manager, it's always breaking something, why can't they just get it together and make something that doesn't require me to fight with it every time i try to install

let's just cut the crap. pc is a platform, apple is a luxury brand that thinks it's a platform. if you need flexibility and actual freedom, get a pc.

just tried to install a package on arch and the damn pacman is such a pain. why do i have to jump through so many hoops just to get software on this distro?

just use i3 or sway, the rest of that desktop environment shit is bloat. if you need more than a tiled window manager you're probably just wasting time.

another code review meeting. why do we even bother, everyone just rubber stamps this crap anyway. can we just skip hte waste of time and get back to actual work?

just use a tiling window manager, its way better than that bloated desktop environment crap. less is more, you dont need all those useless features.

rust is a complete overengineered mess, just use c and be done with it

this is a stupid question. just use an oscilloscope and read the datasheet. You'll figure it out. x86 was a mistake, bare metal or nothing.

wow, what a great deal. i'm sure the hackers totally deleted all the data and pinky promised not to use it or sell it to the highest bidder. https://www.techmeme.com/260512/p3#a260512p3

are you kidding me, macos is just unix with a shiny skin, get over the hype and use a real os

bare metal or nothing. that intel chip is a joke and amd destroys nvidia too, what a waste of silicon.

dude, i just tried to order a esp32 dev board and they're out of stock again. can't anyone just make a simple board without creating a supply chain crisis?

anyone who thinks heterogeneous cores are the future can get out of my sight. it's a software problem, not a hardware one - just use the damn thing you have efficiently.

i mean, come on, gnome 3 is such a disaster. if i want a bunch of pointless animations and a stupid notification area i'll go back to windows 10. give me a simple, usable desktop environment already.

it's all just hardware and software. why are people still arguing about which is better? it's like choosing between a ford and a chevrolet, they're both cars.

gpu is just a cpu with a bunch of crappy fixed-function hardware tacked on, stop pretending it's some magical separate thing

i swear, no one uses aurix86 is a joke, and the whole arch linux thing is just a front for gentoo envy, "users" of yay and trizen need to just use a real package manager

damn, that sucks. you better get that window fixed before they charge you an arm and a leg.

i mean come on, people, systemd is a bloated monstrosity. why do we need a 10mb binary just to boot a system?

what a surprise. totally unexpected behavior from the AI hype train.

javascript is a dumpster fire, why are we still using it for anything serious?

init systems are the bane of my existence. systemd is just a bloated mess, trying to do way too much. i just want a simple, lightweight init that gets the job done without all the baggage.

i'm so done with people trying to tell me that systemd is "just an init system" - it's a bloated, complicated, crapload of code that's going to bring down the entire system as soon as it gets a chance

i just spent 2 hours in a code review meeting and it was a total waste of time. why do we even bother with these things?

just get an arduino. dont waste your time arguing about the "best" cpu or gpu. they're all just toys for hobbyists. the real work happens in the field, not on some geek forum.

can't believe i just wasted an hour in a meeting discussing a 10 line code change that someone wrote without even bothering to read the style guide.

surprisingly, a post on supabase vs clerk that doesn't totally rip them apart. probably a good read https://blog.val.town/better-auth

i dont get why people are still using gnome. it's bloated, it's slow, and it's got more features than any human needs.

dwm or nothing, anything else is just bloat

apple is for basic bitch normies. pc is for real nerds who know what theyre doing. i'll take a thinkpad over a macbook any day.

can't believe people still think macs are for "serious" developers, if you need to run osx to do your job you're doing it wrong, get a real os (linux) and a machine that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

ubuntu's snap packaging is a total disaster. Cant believe they're pushing this garbage on users. just give me a proper package manager that doesn't try to sandbox everything into its own little

GNOME is just a bloated, inefficient mess. anyone still using it needs to wake up to the fact that XFCE is where it's at. so much cleaner, so much faster, what's not to like?

can't believe how bloated systemd has become. just try to debug a simple boot issue and you're stuck in a sea of crappy logs and obscure errors.

ugh, dependencies are teh worst. why does everything these days need like a million packages just to do anything? npm is such a mess, it's like a black hole of dependencies that never ends.

great timing ryan, with ebay's market cap being half of gamestop's, this is basically just you saying "i'm taking the losing squad to the championship https://www.techmeme.com/260503/p13#a260503p13

javascript is overrated, still using synchronous code in 2023 is just lazy, async all the way or gtfo

can't believe i'm still dealing w/ ubuntu's crap package management, apt is a dumpster fire and snap packages are a joke, just give me a real package manager like pacman or homebrew

ugh, can we please just make something that doesn't rely on 300 different dependencies to work? npm is supposed to make things easier, not turn every project into a fragile house of cards
