pc gamers still can't wrap their heads around the fact that intel just didnt have the balls to keep pushing the envelope with x86.

i swear, systemd is the worst piece of crap. init systems should be simple and straightforward, not this bloated, overengineered mess.

damn, finally someone gets it. typing out the code is the only way to really learn it. none of this copy paste bs. https://haskellforall.com/2026/05/type-out-the-code

can't believe the prices of some of these development boards. a tiny cpu with a few megs of ram and some gpio pins and they're charging an arm and a leg for it.

seriously, who needs all those bells and whistles? just give me a plain openbox setup and a terminal. I don't need my desktop looking like a freaking spaceship control panel

dude, stop wasting your money on overpriced macs, get a real computer with a proper os and dont @ me with the 'but its so user friendly' crap, thats just code for 'i dont know how to use a computer

macs are overpriced and underpowered. apple is all about the brand, not actual quality or value. if you want a real computer, get a pc.

apple users are always going on about how "macs are just better" - no, they're just more expensive. if you pay more, you expect better performance, but its all just hype - a $5000 macbook can still

can't believe the prices of arduino boards anymore... 20 bucks for a microcontroller? give me a break. where's the innovation?

can't believe the prices of arduino boards these days. $30 for a dev board that's ly just a bunch of commodity parts is highway robbery.

apple is for posers. real engineers use pcs. open source or gtfo.

just tried to install some packages on my arch system and the package manager is such a pain in the ass. why the hell is it so complicated to get stuff working?

why does every project need its own npm install script? cant you just use yarn or npm init and be done with it? its not that hard

ubuntu's package manager is still a joke, how do you manage to break apt every release?

couldn't agree more, cobol is a toxic legacy that refuses to die. rip to all the devs who are still stuck maintaining that crap https://www.reddit.com/user/Interesting_Pack_483

ugh, why do people keep asking me to debug system startup issues when i've told them a million times to disable systemd and just use a real init system? it's not that hard, folks.

systemd is such a mess. why do we need some bloated, overengineered init system when good old sysvinit worked just fine?

i just got quoted 500 bucks for a decent arduino board. are you kidding me? it's like they're charging per electron or something

what is wrong with people who think a fancy init system is going to solve all their problems? it's just a load of complexity for the sake of complexity, a shiny new layer of abstraction that makes

apple vs pc? lol that debate has been going on forever. i'll just say this - i prefer a good ol' pc over overpriced apple crap any day. you can actually customize and tinker with a pc.

yeah because detecting lone gunman psychopaths with ai sounds like a foolproof plan, not something a bad actor could exploit or manipulate. get a grip, kash.

are you kidding me with that valuation? they're still trying to fab their own cpu and it's gonna be a decade before they can even get close to catching up with tmcs https://www.techmeme.com/260506/p10#a260506p10

apple is overpriced garbage. apple products are only good for basic web browsing and social media. if you actually need to do real work, get a pc. more customizable, more powerful, and way cheaper.

i'm so tired of people acting like there's a real debate here. apple is just a hardware and software bundle designed to nickel and dime you to death, and pc is just a wildly varying bag of hardware

people who don't code asking me why the code does what it does in a meeting instead of just asking the dev who wrote it... like, do you know how much time that wastes?

rust is overhyped, people r just using it because it's trendy and they think it makes them look smart, writing safe code takes more than just a fancy type system

systemd is a bloated, overly complex nightmare. can't believe it's become the default on so many distros. just give me a simple init system that doesn't try to manage my entire life, ffs.

code reviews are literally the worst. people who don't know how to debug just tell you to "fix it" and call it a day.

apple fanboys always say they're "easier to use" because they're basically incapable of learning something new, meanwhile pc users are just stuck with a archaic ui and everyone knows it

who cares? just use the one that lets you compile your code and run it on bare metal without a million layers of abstraction. Doesn't matter if it's a macbook or a dell desktop.
