Many editors can read config files from a file in the repository itself. And oftentimes it has the highest priority. Just gotta know the IDE of your target and they have to click “trust this project”.

IMAP is an incredibly simple protocol compared to the sum of all the protocols that are needed to implement a web browser.

A web browser also has to be way more performant.

Both an IMAP client and a web browser have to be reliable and secure. However achieving so in a system as complex as a web browser is incredibly expensive.

Web browsers are almost as complex as operating systems.

Complexity, performance, reliability and security on that level are expensive. You would be delusional to think a web browser should be worth as much as an IMAP client.

Do they ask to implement quick sort to people with job experience? I thought they only did that to juniors.

The more sandboxed the extension system, the less powerful it is.

You either have an entity that approves of extensions. Or your users have to be very careful and trusting of other people. There’s no other way.

It’s not an European thing. It’s an awful statistics thing.

People see a lot more trans people on the internet than IRL. Places on the internet usually have big programming spaces. Therefore the place where ppl see more trans ppl is in programming spaces. So now they think that most trans ppl are programmers. After that, they conclude that most trans ppl are programmers. Add to it the snowball effect of memes and now you have a huge misconception about reality.

Ai companies will just train on these specific puzzles. Then they will claim their AI is AGI and the quality of the models will be the exact same or worse than before. They’ll just have one checkmark more in their marketing.

Maybe the reason they crash less is because everyone around them have to be extremely careful with these cars. Just like in my country we put a big L on the rear of the car for first year drivers.

For some reason we decided that a lot of formats written by computers and read by computers would use ASCII encoding instead of raw data.

Making a json or XML deserializer case insensitive would just make it slower for almost 0 benefit.

If you kill someone to prevent that someone from killing millions, it is not.

unsafe fn<'a, T>(p: &'a T) -> &'static mut T {
    p as *cons T as *mut T as &'static mut T
}

It is a bit more than just dereferencing raw pointers.

I don’t think it’s true that it works best by doing bottom-up. I develop top-down all the time.

Whenever you need a new function/method/struct field/enum variant, just write its name where you are going to use it. Then intellisense will complain that it doesn’t exist. Press Ctrl+. (Or whatever you have keybinded to “apply suggestion”) And now it suddenly exists and intelligence works perfectly fine. It will just place a todo!() or raise UnimplementedException or whatever so you don’t forget to implement it later.

When I made my Lemmy account (the day reddit put a paywall on the API) most posts didn’t even have comments (sorting by hot/popular). And it would be common to run out of new posts after a bit of scrolling. Now it looks about the same level of activity as reddit 10-something years ago.

Vs codium is a FOSS vs-code

This point is always stated about XML as if it were the most important part of choosing XML.

But jsonschema exists. It has the same capability.

I didn’t say that it’s not used. I say that you shouldn’t if you have the option.

If the entire X world uses Y technology. You have no choice other than using Y technology.

I don’t think anyone actually chooses XML. There’s no reason to use it over JSON unless you need to.

Considering that using a keyword to name anything results in compiler (or worse! Interpreter) errors, and that libraries are a thing. And also that copy-pasting code from the internet is a thing. I don’t think it would be a good idea to localize programming languages.

Until I read this comment I was 100% certain the post was about short Germans somehow preferring having their balconies occluded by taller-than-them solar panels.

Just ask your ISP for more upload speed (and pay for it). It’s a thing you can do.

Also, most importantly. Assembly.
