One of the main implementations of Python is CPython, which is written in C or C++

I think the point is, the kind of people who have “million dollar ideas” are now using LLMs instead of pestering real programmers.

If committing over the weekend is what makes the difference between committing a secret and not, that’s an issue.

Saying the chance of something going sideways is smaller than on Windows isn’t saying much. I’ll pick a distro that’s stable by default, TYVM.

How would you structure a react project? Something moderately complex, like the feed or profile page on Facebook. And “just figure it out” isn’t a valid answer because even if I can, if I told that to the developers I’m working with the result would be a disaster. I’ve tried various solutions but none of them (when presented to junior devs) were less of a mess than just using tailwind. I kind of hate tailwind but at this point it seems like the lesser of two evils.

Your options are:

1. Go back to logging in
2. Remove the password from kwallet
3. Store the password on disk somewhere so it can be auto unlocked

AFAIK there are no other options

When yarn/react/next.js/amplify breaks in some new and idiotic way, Claude is helpful more often than not. Why spend hours googling and sifting through github/stack overflow/etc when Claude can tell me what option to tweak to fix it in a fraction of the time?

Boring, tedious shit that doesn’t require brainpower, just time, when fixing whatever comes out of the LLM is less annoying than doing it myself.

If every possible action is going to piss off a large portion of the user base, doing nothing is the sanest option IMO.

They weren’t looking for universal approval. They were looking for widespread/majority approval.

So you think they should have picked a solution that pissed off a large portion of the user base, just so they could say they “solved” it? The entire problem is that they tried, repeatedly, and none of their proposals had wide support.

How is that relevant to “That’s on you for using Java”?

It sounds like you already know how to do embedded programming, at least at the hobby level. For someone who’s new to that, Arduino IDE is the easiest learning curve I know of. As far as which boards to use, I have no specific feelings which is why I said Arduino or equivalent.

You need to understand how code actually works. If you’ve only worked with highly abstracted languages like Python, Ruby, JavaScript, etc then you should probably start by learning lower level languages like C or C++. Or maybe Rust and Go but they’re kind of low level and abstracted at the same time. If you already know C/C++ then buy yourself an Arduino (or equivalent) and start screwing around. If you’re in school and interested in this as a career, take some electrical engineering or digital circuit design classes.

It is possible to sign a flatpak, but yeah distributors need to actually do that and flathub should require published flatpaks to be signed.

VSCode is the first development environment I’ve used that doesn’t make me feel like this. It’s not perfect but the base application is rock solid and the full DE experience is the more reliable than any other DE I’ve used.

P.S. I specifically said DE for those people who say VSCode isn’t an IDE. Personally I don’t see the point in differentiating.

P.P.S. Sublime is not a DE in my opinion. It’s an excellent text editor with syntax highlighting. The plugins were an afterthought and it was never intended to provide the full experience. Granted I haven’t used it in years.

There was this one time where I took down the accounting department by accidentally DDOSing the SQL server. MS Dynamics is such a piece of garbage that it will crash if the database takes more than a minute to respond.

I thought you were saying to literally use def main(): pass, that’s why I was confused

What is the point of this?

Saying “front end is not proper software engineering” is bullshit but at the same time if you hire someone to write code and then ask them to write CSS I can understand being frustrated.
