Musk shittiness is a high bar.

IMO, “One app/library/etc does one thing only” is a rather ignorant form of wisdom about encapsulation, anyways.

Encapsulation is important regardless of how many disparate tasks a library handles. Doing one thing with one thing is a pretty good rule of thumb to get close to good results, but it is FAR from a golden standard, and serves to drag people away from the finer nuances of encapsulation.

The ONLY time it is a hard and fast rule is at the individual function level. A single function ideally should have one task to accomplish, even if that task has side effects.

I’m sure there are cross-dependency issues on an OS level that makes it a bit wiser to do for widely used system tasks, but to make it an absolute rule smacks of wisdom gone awry. Like not eating shellfish in the bible.

rofl! The difference vetween a progressive and liberal is NOT just when they decide to intervene in corporations…

American liberals want to means test EVERYTHING that could concievably go to a poor person. A progressive realizes the red tape is fucking stupid and expensive in its own right. Remember the COVID funds? Sucked up by megacorporations more than small businesses like it was supposed to be for? Notice how American liberals didn’t go after those corporations or really care that the money instantly dried up for smaller fries?

Yea, American liberals are ABSOLUTELY closer to American conservatives in practicality. It doesn’t matter how many polite words they use if the end result is FUNCTIONALLY THE SAME. No, conservatives wouldn’t have given any money to poor people, but as already said, liberals didn’t care that corporations with lawyers that could push all the red tape got the money, not small businessesthat actually neededrhe help.

They BOTH serve to drain the government of public funds. You’ve just fallen for the pleasantries they put on the same negative slant of actions. No, liberals are not fascists themselves, but they’re always, always dumb enough to make things suck enough that fascists sound nice to fools.

IMO, the most important parts are to document the actual intent of the code. The contract of what is being documented. Sure, it’s only so useful in perfectly written code, but NO code is perfect, and few will come through later with full context already learned.

It makes it sooo mich easier to know what is intended behavior and what is an unchecked edge case or an unexpected problem. If it’s a complicated thing with a lot of fallout, good documentation can save hours of manually lining up consequences and checking through them for sanity.

You might say, “but that’s indication of bad code!”. No. Not really. Consequences easily extend past immediate code doing things as trivial as saving data to the database without filtering, or having a publicly available service. Even perfectly coded things come up with vulnerabilities all the time due to underlying security issues. It’s always great to have an immediate confirmation of what’s supposed to happen whether it’s immediate code or some library with a new quirk in a new version.

If they’ve lived SEVENTY YEARS and haven’t come to realize that black people and lgbtq+ people are JUST normal people trying to live a moderately different life…

Then yes, yes they are maliciously stupid. Ignorance eventually becomes a choice after so many oportunities have been passed up.

Nobody chooses to be stupid. It is a reflection of how little thought they’ve put in to it.

Then they’re maliciously stupid. It doesn’t have to be one or the other.

Yea, it’s not C that is crap, but that it has zero guard rails. Like blaming a knife for not having a guard… Is it a bad knife without a guard? Depends on how sharp it is. The guard is orthogonal to the knife’s purpose, but might still be important when the knife is used.

Just because something doesn’t help prevent accidents does not mean it cannot serve its actual purpose well, unless its actual purpose is safety.

Memory safe language that’s becoming viable … as a proper replacement of C.

There are many other memory safe languages out there. Just not ones most would like to pull in to the kernel…

Number one is because they’ve patented the trackpad sol noone else can use the newer style. Number 6 is madecompletely moot by the high price and the fact that many other vendors have laptops with BETTER build quality. Especially if you factor in all the engineering missteps they seem to constantly make.

Doubt me? Just look up Luis Rossman teardown videos. He’ll show you actual macs from customers, that he takes appart onscreen, and shows you exactly how Apple makes extremely basic engineering mistakes.

Don’t like him? Look up anyone else that gets under the hood of Apple products without being in Apple’s cultish parts program.

I mean, I’m absolutely positive the list on the left are much harder targets to strike. The Olympics in a major city in a country that’s already used to dealing with ISIS-like terrorists is going to go over worse than a lead balloon, America is far away and overpoliced as is, and Israel already loves shooting Muslims for no reason…

Taylor Swift is the obvious choice.

Some of the “anticheat” systems straight up decide not to work on VMs even with PCIE passthrough et. al. For example, I cannot run Elden Ring with its trash DRM because it says it cannot run under VM. I have PCIE passthrough, and the CPU id also passes through. Only the chipset reports anything VM, yet the “anticheat” decides not to run.

Fuck DRM. It has done nothing except push me to pirate more when I LITERALLY AM buying the games. Fuck those greedy actual morons (corporations who deploy DRM, not FromSoft specifically).

It is both.

You have failed to understand it AGAIN. Good job failing.

It does NOT tell you what the list is. Period. Stop assuming it will advertise to you. You are repeatedly describing how you have FAILED to understand what it’d even be attempting…

Ah yes, I’m sure that was exactly how every piece of feedback against mbfc was.

Doesn’t DuckDuckGo not have AI?

Completely terrible. An AI “search” takes as much electricity as hundreds to thousands of normal searches.

'AI" is TERRIBLE for climate change because they’re increasing demand for electricity so much that they’re keeping coal plants going that were even scheduled for decomissioning because they use A LOT of power.

It’s almost certainly going to be milliamps or microamps unless you’re inches from something. This isn’t for cellphones and the like but for remote sensors and the like. I also bet they’ll at least have to have a capacitor to store up extra charge for chirping back only sometimes.

Taxes are DEFINITELY an issue when I pay more taxes than many billion dollar corporations.

In fairness to the little guy, modern dogfood is garbage compared to a fresh kill.
