I’ve already resigned to the fact that I will probably die alone in an apartment not to be found for weeks because no one checks in on me other than my parents. I won’t kill myself, but I’m not good at socializing

I hate interviews so much. I feel like none of my work experience has ever helped me in an interview. It’s so fucking stupid.
I still don’t know algorithms by heart and been a software dev for 11 years lol
Why waste my brain storage on things I can just look up or read in one of my books when I could be remembering higher level concepts that are hard to research and understand without experience?
I love the arrow in functional programming. Some functional languages (like reasonml) has multiple arrow operators that did different things like this one -> would put the argument in the first position (a popular JS pattern) and the big arrow |> would put it last like most functional languages.
I know this is about CPP but honestly I love the way it looks, but I’m a weirdo lol
It really is. I always make a note to point out how much code is removed in PRs I review

copyright and all of intellectual property was meant to “promote the progress of science and useful arts”—it has since eroded it and held it up for ownership by capitalists public domain was originally 14 years after publication. 14 years ago was 2010—imagine if everything before 2010 was in the public domain. All video games. All movies. All books, songs, etc. How much of our culture could be preserved? Compare that to now. How much of what you imagined is owned by a corporation? Managed by shareholders? Has the commons been fostered, or has it been divided into fiefdoms?
we also should be supporting open source games—if it’s open source, it’s preservable! these people are already essentially giving up any revenue just to make something for someone else, we should be lifting them up, too!
It saves ewaste. In 6 years, will macOS still be supported on these machines? Maybe. Will an open source distro be supported? If it’s still thriving, yeah.
Lethal company is literally just old school d&d tho
You go into dungeons, try to avoid all the monsters because they can kill you in one hit, get the treasure they protect and gold is xp.
I mean, if the error says “variable foo is not defined” I don’t think it’s wise to go “I’m pretty sure it’s defined, the compiler is just wrong” 😂
I learned early in my software engineering career these two beautiful rules of debugging:
In a capitalist economy copyright is meant to protect people’s livelihoods by ensuring they are compensated for their labor
Whose propaganda did you suck down blindly? Copyright is meant to foster and improve the commons and public domain, and only that. The goal of copyright is not “money” and monopolies, but that’s what capitalism does to things designated as property.
The fact you can transfer and sell your copyright (because it’s property in capitalism), it becomes a commodity to be bought and sold and traded. If copyright was not tradeable or transferable, we wouldn’t be in in this situation where art is property to be owned.
If you have seniority and they are a junior, some juniors do respond well to a senior having more knowledge about the codebase. With them, it can be beneficial to use a tone like “We have library X that seems like it could do a lot of the functionality here, unless you already took a look?” I know it’s like 90% of the same but I know people who will just be shellshocked and just blindly say “yes” to any question you ask them, and I don’t want a blind “yes” I wanna know the truth :) it also lets then explain why they didn’t use it if they have a legit reason because hey, maybe I’m the one who needs to be caught up
People forget that compilers used to be commonly proprietary and commercially licensed. Heck, I’m born on the 90s and knew that 😂
So so glad free and open source software took over though
AGPL? Google has a ban on all AGPL software. Sounds like if you write AGPL software, corporations won’t steal it.
Code licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL) MUST NOT be used at Google.
The license places restrictions on software used over a network which are extremely difficult for Google to comply with. Using AGPL software requires that anything it links to must also be licensed under the AGPL. Even if you think you aren’t linking to anything important, it still presents a huge risk to Google because of how integrated much of our code is. The risks heavily outweigh the benefits.
Any FLOSS license that makes a corporation shit its pants like this is good enough to start from IMO.

If it’s only internal then technically the internal users should have access to the source code. Only the people who receive the software get the rights and freedoms of the GPL, no one else.
all D&D movies ever will be bad ig
That won’t put butts in seats in theaters to make up for the money being invested. Microsoft wants a new generation of kid money.
Women from Tennessee can be some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen what are you even saying 😂 do you look at the people walking around you ever? A lot of people aren’t ugly
There are very few places I’ve been, so few I’m only relying on statistical probability because I actually can’t remember any, where women were not ever beautiful.
Then again I’m from Kentucky and we apparently don’t wear shoes, right? You would know
