The debt doesn’t “go away”, the countries sell it on the market, causing the price of us bonds to drop. That causes the yield (what it costs the us to service the debt) to go up. Borrowing becomes more expensive. Repaying debt or borrowing more to pay interest becomes even more expensive for the us.

PNG is also raster. SVG is vector which is what you might be thinking of. PNG is lossless, whereas JPEG is lossy, which is the main difference

Which means that the patents are void to start with. But they can still be used to bankrupt a smaller company with court battles regarless. The fact that patents with obvious prior art get granted so easily is a wild.

What brand are your running shoes?

The comment says monopolistic. Epic games does exclusives on PC. Does steam do this? Which one is monopolistic?

Referring to Epic I presume?

I agree, but tell that to advertisement departments haha

Nah programming is awesome 😎

The guy only looks unhappy on the outside, inside he’s pleased to be programming lol

Just checked, and unfortunately no, Wayland is still in preview.

I think Flutter and Avalonia both tick all those boxes.

I spend much time splitting them up inside visual studio by file and individual lines changed to try and separate my many simultaneous changes into several somewhat usable commits. If I was stupid enough to make some big refactor at the same time I might just have to throw in the towel… It’s really painful after a few weeks to try and pick up the pieces of what I was doing but never commited too lol.

My butterfly was having a bad day so I can’t be sure, sorry

No, please tell the user. They’ve got their big boy pants on and can handle seeing one or two weird squiggles in the worst case, and might be able to actually diagnose and fix the issue themselves (without having to go through support) in the best case.

The last panel is infinitely more readable than parsing the whole chunk of logic above. Maybe you’re just not used to this language’s (I think this meme used C#) null operators.

NOOOOOOO NOT THE FUCK W*RD!

Precision always degrades

It’s just… Why?

Was there a thought process applied here at all? Worse still is that many of these localised paths are actually lies. They still use the original developer version in order to not break compatibility with programs, but refuse to admit it in the explorer. It’s maddening.

My gripe: I hate when people make stupid Lemmy comments.

Look I made a funny!

(The point is to show that all gripes are not automatically jokes…)

Translation of developer utilities themselves is the final layer of hell. I’m not hearing anybody out about this kinda stuff - after microsoft decided to TRANSLATE THE EXCEPTION MESSAGES IN .NET WITH NO WAY TO BYPASS IT making them unclear, unusable and ungoogleable, I realized what a terrible idea it is to fragment developer knowledge by language.

Let’s just stick to a lingua franca, please.

The docs for C# are stellar imo
