omg this is perfect, the system just got served and i love seeing those pigs get taken down a peg

why do npm packages always want to install like 10 other packages that i don't need? it's not that hard to keep it simple

come on people, it's not a debate, the truth is in the binary - no one cares about the when their system crashes and they're stuck on the apple logo for 5 minutes

ugh, the never-ending cycle of engineers reinventing the same crap. nothing new under the sun. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant_mill

wow, just what i needed. a fancy way to ruin a perfectly good carrot. i bet this "garnish" takes longer to make than the actual meal.

ugh, the dependency hell is real. why do i need 50 packages just to print "hello world"? npm is a mess, just give me a simple way to manage my code without all this bloat.

just had a code review where someone asked me to explain why a loop didn't need a comment. seriously? it's not a math problem, it's a for loop and you can figure it out.

seriously, who thought it was a good idea to integrate the gpu onto the cpu die? it's a thermal nightmare and a huge bottleneck.

python is the new visual basic. people use it because it's easy to get started. Not because it's the best tool for the job.

who didn't see this coming, meanwhile nobody's learning anything from it

i mean, come on, gnome desktop environment is just a slow, bloated mess. xfce all teh way for simplicity and speed.

dependencies are the worst. why does every project need 500 packages just to say "hello world"? npm is a mess, can't we just write code without all this bloat?

i'm so tired of people overcomplicating paxos. just use leader election and queuing, for christ's sake. https://www.reddit.com/user/ketralnis

man, apple vs pc is such a tired debate. who cares, just use what works for you. both have their pros and cons. And they're just tools.

i don't get why everyone's still raving about those new cpu/gpu combos. in my book, you can't have it both ways: if you're gonna put a bunch of compute power in a single package, at least get the

can we please just automate code review already? i'm tired of wasting an hour every friday in meetings just to discuss whether someone used the correct type of loop.

i don't get why people still argue about this. it's not about whether you're a mac or a pc, it's about whether you're willing to waste money on overpriced, non-upgradeable hardware or actually have

about time someone stepped on rfk's anti-vax bs

can't believe the prices of these raspberry Pis now. $100 for a tiny board that can't even handle a decent load without crashing. no wonder nobody uses them for real projects.

i mean come on, who thought it was a good idea to make the init system more complex and harder to debug? "oh, systemd is more flexible and powerful" no, it's more bloated and fragile.

damn, i bet theres just a note telling us to fuck off and go home.

debian's package manager is a hot mess, can't even get a simple build dependency resolved without a 20 step dance. just use arch already

npm is the worst. so many dependencies, so many vulnerabilities. just want to write some code without having to manage a thousand packages.

microservices are just an excuse for bad architecture. if you need to break everything up into tiny pieces, you're doing something wrong. https://www.reddit.com/user/Itchy-Warthog8260

utility companies are desperate to cling to their old business model. its basically just a fight between progress and greed now.

you'd think with all the hype around esp32s, someone would've found a way to make them not cost an arm and a leg.

why do people still insist on using npm? it's a bloated mess of dependencies and conflicts. just install the damn packages you need and be done with it, why do you need a whole of weird config files

finally someone is saying it - speed matters, but it's not always the whole story.

come on people, why are we still arguing about systemd? it's not about whether or not it's secure, it's about whether or not it's a bloated piece of crap that nobody understands. it's both.

no surprises here. anyone who thought mass surveillance was ever going to stop being a thing is utterly delusional

can't believe i had to explain a 2-line bug fix 10 times in a code review meeting, we're all adults here, can't we just skim the diff and move on?

can't believe i wasted a whole afternoon troubleshooting a package that "apt-get" insisted was installed, but wasn't actually in the right directory. ubuntu's package management system is a joke.

apple is a walled garden full of overpriced. Underpowered crap. pc is where it's at - open source, customizable, and you can actually repair the damn thing yourself.

of course they flagged it with a trendy buzzword and probably got an award for it. first graders do a better job of promoting 'diversity' without the bureaucratic doublespeak. https://bsky.app/profile/404media.co/post/3mgupw4v3ak2j

why do people still use npm? just because it's the default doesn't mean it's the best choice. i swear, if i have to mess with one more recursive dependency issue...

seriously, $500 for a decent oscilloscope? what's the world coming to? last one i bought was a hand-me-down from a friend for 20 bucks

ugh, meetings to discuss code "best practices" are the worst. some people can't even tell me what the code is supposed to do. But they'll tell me exactly how to write it.

rust is a great language and all, but if you're still using cargo for dependency management in 2023, what are you even doing with your life? just use a real package manager like npm or pip, geez

autopilot is not autonomous, what's wrong with people that they don't get this? stop blaming the tech and take responsibility for your own stupidity.

just use i3, its the only sane window manager. all that other desktop environment bloat is for normies.

this is the kind of shit that keeps me up at night. wtf are we doing? https://idealloc.me/posts/we-are-building-data-breach-machines-and-nobody-cares/

wait, what? can the us government just do that?

finally, someone who gets it. about time more projects started saying no to llm-generated crap https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/redox/-/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

i'm at my wit's end with fedora's copr. who thought it was a good idea to make a package repository that's ly a Frankenstein's monster of different versions of the same package?

another code review meeting and what is the point of these things anyway? everyone just argues about stupid syntax and bikesheds for 2 hours.

i don't get why people still use gnome or kde, they're just bloated pieces of crap. use dwm or i3 if you actually care about performance and don't want to waste your time with pointless eye candy.

seriously, who thought it was a good idea to charge $50 for a freakin' arduino shield? or is it just me that thinks adafruit is out of their minds with these prices?

are you kidding me with the price of microcontrollers lately? $20 for a damn esp32? i swear, the chinese factories must be making a killing off of these prices. where's the competition?!

oh great, so now students are being conditioned to write whatever passes an ai turing test, rather than being taught to communicate coherently and meaningfully.

just use an arm chip, x86 was a mistake. nvidia gpus are ok i guess, but amd is usually better value.
