  • I see your perspective and I think you kinda miss my perspective which I am to blame for.

    I don’t say there weren’t improvements. I am saying that given the uncertainty of “goodness”. Maybe we shouldn’t idolize it. You can appreciate the attempt of creating memory safe code through a programing language without thinking the bare metal code should be written in that language. You can like a typeless easy to write language like Js without thinking desktop app should be written in it. You can like the idea behind functional programming while believing that any application is in the end about side effects and therefore a purely functional application impossible.

    You can approach the whole topic as an area of study and possible technological advances instead of a dogma.


  • There have been “improvements” but fundamentally in my perspective, these “improvements” could be revealed to be a mistake down the line.

    Assembly has produced some insane pieces of software that couldn’t be produced like that with anything else.

    Maybe types in programming languages are bad because they are kinda misleading as the computer doesn’t even give a shit about what is data and what is code.

    Maybe big projects are just a bad idea in software development and any kind of dependency management is the wrong way.

    I like modern languages, types and libraries are nice to have, but I am not the student of the future but of the past.






  • Why aren’t they doing anything?

    I wished they won’t do shit. But in reality, they actively harm young people in their attempt of buying a home. E.g. I don’t know if it is something that exists in the us but in Europe there are plenty of countries with laws to protect old buildings but most of the time these laws are flawed as fuck and result in less affordable housing for people who want to live somewhere and cheaper real estate for big fraudulent dickheads who want to build new rental buildings



  • As much as a lot of us dislike it… I think it is difficult to argue for e.g. python being a programming language without including html in it.

    And honestly if python is no a programming language because you use an interpreter… Then I would love to hear a non-bad-faith argument for c being a programming language as e.g. GCC could easily be viewed as an interpreter too. Obviously there is a difference but is that difference really the difference that you want it to be?


  • I worked in a office supplier at one point. People would enter the office, put some documents on the first desk they see and look at the guy sitting there. No hello… No sentence… Nothing… That is usually the point when we knew what was up. The guy would look at the documents and say "you aren’t at the right place. Wrong floor. Wrong door. " They would look at us in shock. Sometimes complain that you couldn’t tell where you are. It was always the same. They wanted to get something from the government. They had an office in the same building. There were multiple big sign. There was literally 2 signs outside telling you which floor. Obviously our office had a sign too. They passed at least 3 signs in an office building while they were looking where to go… People don’t read signs… They just don’t.





  • Basically, crowdstrike wrote bad code that run as a driver, windows doesn’t like bad code in their drivers. Kernel level code is generally expected to run properly. crowdstrike’s kernel level code was really bad. Embarrassingly bad.

    If the host creates a playlist and everyone can add their favorite song to the playlist, the host won’t be blamed if you add “erika”. People rightfully think you are an ignorant weirdo or a bad person, not the host.

    Man könnte auch argumentieren dass man damit vielleicht es zu einem Statussymbol macht und das ist im allgemeinen aber auch Grade in Deutschland sehr wirksam.

    Das Problem, z.b. der cybertruck, das Teil macht null Sinn. E-motor sind einfach nicht die Lösung für Trucks oder lwks. Die Batterien sind zu schwer und versauen dir das ganze.

    Für den Wandel muss nicht alles E-motor sein. Mehr Züge und Zugverbindungen, vielleicht Wasserstoff für lwks.

    Dass Tesla e-lwks machen will/wollte, zeigt dass es ihnen nicht nur bessere und günstige Technologie geht. Sondern dass sie den eigenen Hype glauben ohne Einschränkungen und dass aus ihrer Sicht Tesla natürlich ein Premium Produkt ist.
