Do you think RAM is the only thing that factors into performance?..

It’s actually less trouble. Back when i used ubuntu based distros I ended up using the arch wiki anyway, and I never successfully upgraded from one ubuntu LTS to the next without problems anyway, so I figured why not try the distro that doesn’t have upgrades and has amazing docs. It’s much more stable.

After work is exercise, which you need anyway, but it also shakes off the doldrums and provides a clean break between work and evening

Sometimes it feels like a portion of the community views complexity as a badge of honour

Low code AI will reduce programming jobs a lot, it’s madness to deny it.

Apocalypse is a sequel to the neutral route of iv

Edit: In case anyone seeing thinks I’m wrong because some weirdo down voted this, just look at wikipedia.

It is the sequel to Shin Megami Tensei IV, set in a post-apocalyptic alternative world.

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.
