12·6 hours agoI have to admit, I don’t get what the copying is doing. It seems like you’re trying to recreate some scenario. Just in case, do you know of the
import ... as ...expression? (doc with examples). Maybe that’ll help you.
33·10 hours agoI think the language is COBOL, not Cobal. A truly terrible language for this day and age.
23·1 day agoYeah, for sure. Human error is involved in C and inertia too. New coding practices and libraries aren’t used, tests aren’t written, code quality sucks (variable names in C are notoriously cryptic), there’s little documentation, many things are rewritten (seems like everybody has rewritten memory allocation at least once), one’s casual
void *is another’s absolute nono, and so on.C just makes it really easy to make mistakes.
Right, those devs with 20+ years C experience don’t know shit about the language and are just lazy. They don’t want to catch up with the times and write safe C. It’s me, the dude with 5 years of university experience who will set it straight. Look at my hello world program, not a single line of vulnerable code.
2·2 days agoThat’s exactly it. They’re taking advantage of open source as a business decision. It’s not about the ethics, morals, or any of that touchy feely stuff to improve the world. It’s all about money for the company.
They do have many good contributions as you said, but as soon as they have to choose between expense with little benefit to them (that includes little benefit to marketing too), and abusing open source for business, it’s always the latter.
Another bad take of yours. Nice. It’s a pleasure blocking you 🫡
02·3 days agomariadbdoesn’t get backgrounded? Are you sure? Are you able to type commands and see their output? Also, what happens when puttingset -xat the start of your shell hook? You should see the last line printed e.gMYSQL_PID=12345
Oh, and on this subject: AWS is not really a threat to FOSS, if anything it’s mostly been a boon for us. Any time someone cites AWS while taking any of the four freedoms away from you, you should start asking some pointed questions.
Lol… I’d say anybody saying AWS is not really a threat to FOSS has a blind spot for them or is somehow affiliated with them.
22·3 days agoGmail accounts need a phone number nowadays (at least when connecting from Europe). I dunno how it is in other countries. Here SIM cards can be bought for a few €, but making millions of bot accounts would add up. But maybe there are VOIP services that allow creating numbers easily.
Love it! He had an assumption, created a method of testing that assumption, tried it multiple times, was proven wrong and accepted it.
Now, if more people could operate this way…
45·3 days agoIt’s a keyboard shortcut, that calls a script which pastes the contents of a file into the clipboard and sends keystrokes to the OS to paste (Ctrl+P). I’d prefer if lemmy frontends gave the option of adding a signature, but alas… in the interim, this has to do. There’s no time for me to learn whichever framework they’re using to whip together a PR and have it rejected.
14·3 days agoThis is why when I read about “new browsers” being developed, I kind of shrug a little. Yes, browser standards are dominated by Google and it’s shit, but instead of just playing in Google’s stump of a playground, why not try and do something new and innovative like what Alan Kay is describing? Pipe a program or a script or web assembly or something else to another computer and let it render it. Or hell, come up with something different.
If everybody just tries to play Google’s game where Google makes the rules, they’re going to lose. The game is rigged. Create a new one.
1·3 days agoYou believing Serbia is part of “the East” is hilarious. They’re the S in BRICS, right? 😂
AMD side-channel attack coming soon 🎉
What’s the project here? 50% by 2200? That’s a very slow rise.
Mate, “the West” isn’t limited to Western Europe, the USA, Canada, and Australia. Australia is the same longitude as China. Are you going to say it’s not the West because of that?
Yeah, but not that hard.

You can even put effort into it and look for translations in other languages, combine them, use a colloquialism not found in the standard dictionary, or so many other things.
How is it possible to create many bot accounts? Does steam allow random email hosts with no verification?
I’ve seen C++ code holding up a Fortune 500 company with people actually sitting on the board of C++ and being part of the decision making process on what goes into C++. Even had an advanced course on it given by some of the people. Let me tell you, it doesn’t trickle down.
You can add all the macros and idioms you like, there will always be somebody loading an entire table from SQL into memory and dereferencing the each row+column with a double for-loop to find the correct row, then hand parsing the resulting row into the “right” in-memory data structure. Once you hit a column with variable length storing binary data (don’t ask) and the length is in a column with that doesn’t make it into the
Rowobject, there is fun to be had.My favorite is when you have a macro that hides what kind of pointer it is (shared, unique), but is only used when creating the variable, and someone uses a
reinterpret_castto solve some problem. Took a while to track that down. Bro, I fucking love the language.Best of all is when code only has to pass some regression testing and has no code review. Absolute genius.
