Apocalypse is a sequel to the neutral route of iv

I’m done spending time on this. If you are so insistent on being confidently incorrect then have at it.

You can write code that is dependent on using a specific width of data type. You can compile code for different platforms. I have no idea what you’re thinking when you say “wildly incompatible”, but I guarantee you there is code that runs on both Nintendo DS and Windows.

Incompatible? It is for cross platform code. Wtf are you even talking about

Unless they absolutely guarantee feature-parity with the existing C-based utils

Is there any reason to think they won’t?

Debian is really losing the plot IMO. Glad I switched to Devuan some time ago.

Aren’t you just an anti-wayland anti-systemd weirdo? Not that there is anything wrong with using what you want, but pretending they aren’t much needed improvements in the long run is ridiculous

“int” can be different widths on different platforms. If all the compilers you must compile with have standard definitions for specific widths then great use em. That hasn’t always been the case, in which case you must roll your own. I’m sure some projects did it where it was unneeded, but when you have to do it you have to do it

You recognize that it is absurd to complain about recommendations and then recommend something you know nothing about and refuse to stand behind, right?

If it makes the code easier to maintain it’s good. If it doesn’t make the code easier to maintain it is bad.

Making interfaces for everything, or making getters and setters for everything, just in case you change something in the future makes the code harder to maintain.

This might make sense for a library, but it doesn’t make sense for application code that you can refactor at will. Even if you do have to change something and it means a refactor that touches a lot, it’ll still be a lot less work than bloating the entire codebase with needless indirections every day.

Obviously they should be using Microsoft Access (this is a joke).

They generally mean to use a separate database application, that runs on a server. This will have access controls, multi user access and depending on the database, an enforced schema.

SQL is a query language that is generally used for relational databases. There are also a lot of databases that don’t use sql, for various reasons. A relational database and SQL is a good place to start learning about databases though. Postgres is a really common one these days.

As far as using a database, you’d need to set up a database - you can find guides as to how to do this locally. You can then run queries against it using the command line or an application like pgAdmin. You could also make a program that utilizes it.

I read it. Saves a lot of time in the long run

If it’s as minimal as possible, then the responsible play is to write it thoughtfully and intentionally rather than have something that can make subtle errors to slip through reviews.

I’d generally rather be using something else, but in the grand scheme typescript is pretty nice and I prefer it over some other common langs like python.

Already exists. And you’re basically spreading misinformation.

Easier and quicker, but finding subtle errors in what looks like it should be extremely hard to fuck up code because someone used an LLM for it is getting really fucking old already, and I shudder at all the things like that are surely being missed. “It will be reviewed” is obviously not sufficient

I’d rather use some tool bundled with the framework that outputs code that is up to the current standards and patterns than a tool that will pull defunct patterns from it’s training data, make shit up, and make mistakes that easily missed by a reviewer glazing over it

Why does it have to be AI instead of a purpose built, deterministic tool?

Anytime I’ve ever complained about lootboxes/gacha/gambling mechanics, I’ve not been excluding valve. That said, there is a contingent of people that likes to chime in to conversations about steam to say people shouldn’t use steam because valve does lootboxes, and I don’t think it’s terribly relevant in those conversations.

I mean yeah I’ll take higher quality. I’d just rather have less lossy compression than higher resolution

Yeah I’d way rather have higher bitrate 1080 than 4k. Seeing striping in big dark or light spots on the screen is infuriating

It’s almost like they don’t really value your privacy
