I used it for a while and I think it’s been one of the best languages I’ve tried. C for example is too barebones for modern desktop apps. Apps written in Rust are great but most of the time, it’s just not worth the effort. And stuff like Python, JS is… uhh… where do I even begin

I think Go hits the sweet spot between these. Unlike C, it at least has some simple error/panic mechanism, GC so you don’t have to worry about memory much and some modern features on top of that. And unlike Python it can actually create reasonably snappy programs.

In any programming language, there will always be multiple cases where you need to link C libraries. CGo, although people don’t seem to be adoring it, is actually… okay? I mean of course it does still have some overhead but it’s still one of the nicer ways to link C libraries with your code. And Go being similar to C makes writing bindings so much easier

Multithreading in Go is lovely. Or as I read somewhere “you merely adopted multithreading, I was born with it”

Packaging is handled pretty nicely, pulling a library from the net is fairly trivial. And the standard directory structure for Go, although I’m not used to it, makes organizing stuff much easier and is easy to adopt

As you would’ve guessed from the amount of times I mentioned C in this comment, I basically see Go as the “bigger C for different situations”

But like… Why

Does anyone have a guess? I am genuinely curious

Is there a way to donate to the authors? Because I think pirating and then donating the money (directly) to the author is much more ethical than putting a megacorp or a publisher in between

Even better if you send it with something like Monero which doesn’t even put the bank between you and the author

No one except this guy will be able to read this. Die out of curiosity muhahahaha

I don’t think TikTok community is compatible with the idea of fediverse

TikTok exists to give you large floods of endorphins via either an algorithm trained to your interests or by giving you big numbers. And this is not exclusive to TikTok, this is just how modern “social” media works, it’s the sole reason why bluesky succeeded more than mastodon

Modern social media is mostly a hive mind of people affirming each other driven by algorithms. Fediverse on the other hand, always boils down to a old fashioned usenet style network made just so people can talk with each other. You can’t really get addicted to fedi

I wasn’t really alive during the wild west internet (im 19). I got into the net during the transition from forums to modern social media and reddit was my first social. I tried getting into facebook and instagram because everyone else was there but I just didn’t like it much.

I don’t know why but “the algorithm” is really boring for me. I only tried algorithm driven feeds on reddit (after u/spez) and on tumblr but the recommendations were always extremely “fake”. Other sorting methods like “new” or “by most active” just feel more like as if there was someone on the other side of the keyboard

Yeah that sucks. Mine has 128 GB internal and I added a 128 GB SD to store my music and (temporarily) store my movies which are normally stored in a HDD

I like the freedom of streaming anywhere without buffering while not worrying about mobile data quotas

I do have a jellyfin server but I just store my FLACs on my phone. They weigh a total of 15 GBs anyways which is pretty much nothing

I don’t use deezer but I rip flacs from there

I love big phones though. Smaller ones feel too claustrophobic to me

Also, from a usabity point of view, bigger screens are better for watching videos in landscape, editing text and it’s easier to use the gestures and the keyboard (I don’t even have fat fingers). I think only downside is ring and pinky fingers hurting after a while because of the weight

I mean if you are a pretentious asshole worried about stinky users stealing your precious content…

This seems like a stupid idea at first but it’s actually amazing. They mix high resistance metals into the bricks so the bricks can conduct electricity and heat up while doing that. And then they blow air through the holes on the bricks to extract the heat whem needed. It leaks about 3% of the stored energy per day which is absolutely nothing considering it’s cost

I’m gonna drop these papers here. First one is more of a brief intro and the second one discusses practicality and logistics of such systems

Rpeak values are calculated using the advertised clock rate of the CPU. For the efficiency of the systems you should take into account the Turbo CPU clock rate where it applies

I’m gonna speculate, but I don’t think these systems can run all cpu cores on turbo due to power and thermal limitations and because that wouldn’t be good cost/processing power wise (since you need excessive cooling to do that). Rather, they fire turbo on groups of CPUs, allowing the CPUs to cool down till the sequence wraps around

So, I think rPeak is the processing power achieved when the computer is turboing a large chunk of CPUs

Sorry for my messy writing, I’m a little tired

For this to happen, everyone using the internet should know HTML or there has to be a easy to use, MS Word-like web designer. And there should also be easy to use, free web hosting providers (neocities exists).

Owning a website as a non-techie should be normalized and be portrayed as “cool”

Oh come on now everyone knows what an adblocker is. It’s right in the goddamn name: ad blocker, the thing that blocks ads.

Even if they don’t know how to disable it they can just google it. And if they lack the skill to do that too, they couldn’t have succeeded installing Firefox in the first place.

Stop trying to justify clearly unethical decisions because you used to like the entity who made the decision

Well, I think Linus Torvalds is one of the rare rich people who actually “deserves” being rich.

I think the main motive behind leftism should be stopping 8 people from owning the 50% of the world’s wealth, not to distribute Linus Torvalds’ 50 million dollars which a well deserved amount of wealth for someone who created the OS which runs the modern world.

Besides, what Linus owns is not even a droplet compared to billionaires like Bezos, Musk or Bill Gates

it’s a parody of this poster from early 2000s
