I don’t know if this is correct, but if it is, this is best answer to this question I’ve ever seen.

Ok that is good to know. As for qtcreator, it’s probably fine, just the first time I’ve used it and it didn’t have any of those features working correctly. And I already am familiar with jetbrains tools from Java development. I’ll just have to get it set up correctly. I know for sure I’ll be using it for its UI editing features.
The application is very resource heavy and is also designed for specific hardware, it can’t be run on the windows laptops we are provided. There are security concerns as well, which limit what I am allowed to do.
Currently I’m using vnc viewer to open a shell where I can run applications like qtcreator and get a gui interface. I’m sure I could run a local ide and ssh into the vm with it, but I know that can be tricky getting proper code coverage for jump to references to work. I guess I’ll try it and see what happens!
Interesting, I’ll probably still have to ask for permission to pull anything from the outside onto the vm, but hopefully will get less push back if it’s for a tool already installed and in use.
I’ve been using it via vnc, and was having a hard time with it. Perhaps I need to configure it correctly. Out of the box, jump to definition wasn’t working great and there doesn’t seem to be linting set up. Probably this is just me not knowing anything about c++ development and needing to do more research.
I think some people here are using vscode, I’ve not been a huge fan of it in the past but I should probably look into their workflow.
sacredfireto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Working in the USA is borderline slavery nowEnglish10·2 months agoI don’t feel like the H1B is as big of an issue as outsourcing is. The company that I was just laid off from also laid off all the H1Bs and outsourced pretty much every junior role to India. I’m hearing about this in a lot of other companies as well. While this is anecdotal, it seems to me that with the rise of remote work, it proved that out sourcing was very viable. India has a huge talent pool of highly skilled engineers, who can speak English and are willing to work for pennies on the dollar. I’m not sure where AI plays part in this. Perhaps, it allows those outsourced developers to provide higher quality code faster than ever before, but I have no way to prove that.
Either way, it’s pretty much a blood bath in tech right now, not sure what to do myself. Considering going back to my old career.
sacredfireto politics @lemmy.world•Bernie Sanders blasts Democratic Party following Harris loss43·5 months agoHarris had more billionaire donors than Trump and she out-raised him almost by $700 million. Of course there was plenty of dark money floating around and Musk dropped a ton of money into Pennsylvania, but don’t act as if Biden and Harris were working class darlings. Calling out price gouging is all good and well, and realistically, there’s only so much the president can do legally to combat inflation, but he did have the bully pulpit and a little bit of lip service to price gouging was not enough obviously. He could’ve been out there daily essentially doxing these companies and their ceos putting the fear of God in them.
Populism is a dirty word to the establishment, but both Trump and Bernie are populists. In fact, the first part of their message is essentially the same: America is going to shit, the Economy is terrible, and you’re getting fucked. The difference, of course, is that Trump points the finger at immigrants and others as the reason why this happening, while Bernie points the finger at the Oligarchs. The true power of populism is the threat of using the majority against the minority. It’s why it can lead to violence and mob rule.
People want someone to pay for the pain they are feeling, Trump is doing that, although of course it’s completely misguided and fucked up. The Democrats are not willing to do that. At some point, they’re going to need a Teddy Roosevelt like figure who comes along and essentially says to them, “hey listen I know it’s crazy, but if we don’t do something about the wealth inequality and the ruling class, we’re all gonna get our heads chopped off.”

It only affects culture and productivity when the price of labor isn’t cheap apparently?
sacredfireto News@lemmy.world•Popular Israeli podcasters call to ‘erase every living being’ in Gaza and West Bank1·7 months agoHow do you feel about Nat Turner? Anyway, of course the Palestinians are using violence against an occupying entity. One can disagree with their methods, but it’s certainly not surprising or unexpected. You wanna steal the land? You gotta pay with blood, nobody should feel sorry for you.
Now if you wanted to be a little bit more honest, you could certainly point out the hypocrisy of people living in western countries like the United States, France, or England, criticizing Israel for carrying out ethnic cleansing and colonization. All the while sitting pretty, enjoying the land and wealth generated by 400 years of colonization. Why is it that Israel now can’t do the same and enjoy the same benefits? Just because we are in a modern age and we’ve all of a sudden decided genocide and colonization is bad?! I get why none of you guys make that argument, because it is obviously bad PR, but at least it’s true!
sacredfireto News@lemmy.world•The Obamas Endorse Harris: 'This Is Going to Be Historic'5·9 months agoNo one alive is probably fit to do the job, it’s an impossible task. Those who may come close, would probably never actually want it. And of those who remain who do want it ( which already might make them not worthy for the position) are probably not electable due to the forces of capitalism preventing such a candidate from getting elected.
So what is left is simply a pragmatic choice of the lesser evil. Many people are acutely aware of this and have gotten over it. I suggest until you manage to enact some sort of drastic systemic change you get it over it as well.
sacredfireto Technology@lemmy.world•Major IT outage affecting banks, airlines, media outlets across the worldEnglish1·9 months agoAgreed. If you are not incompetent, you will remember the stuff that you use often. You will know exactly where to look to refresh your memory for things you use infrequently, and when you do need to look something up, you will understand the solution and why it’s correct. Being good at looking things up, is like half the job.
A lot of audiophile gear is overpriced bs. See what audio engineers use for mixing/mastering. Ath, Sennheiser, etc. Good cans will cost you anywhere from $150 to $600 but anything for thousands of dollars is ridiculous.
Trump has historically underperformed in poles and because of the electoral college advantage that Republicans have, Biden probably needs to be at least up four or five points on him, which is what he was last election and it came down to 20,000 votes across several battle ground states.
yes, Trump lied during the debate. Trump is the worst candidate in the history of the United States and him being elected president would be a catastrophe for democracy. Which is exactly why many people in the Democratic Party including - if reports are to be believed - apparently Barack Obama, are trying to have Biden pushed out right now. That Biden is now taking a cavalier attitude that “he’s going to give it his best shot, and if he loses, well he tried his hardest and that’s what counts”…when his own campaign has been framing this threat from Trump as being detrimental to democracy, is the height of hubris.
There are numerous reports that they’ve been shielding him and his mental capacity for a long time now trying to drag him across the finish line. The cat is out of the bag, and it’s a pretty big gamble to assume more things are not going to happen between now and the election. Is that a bigger gamble than switching candidates? I don’t know but I think it is.
I’m sure some people want him to step down because they think he is senile and can’t do the job, but I would bet that most of us want him to step down because he’s not going to win. I’d vote for a literal dead body before I vote for Trump. I honestly don’t care who it is. All I care is it needs to be someone who will beat him. Biden was already trailing Trump and many polls and after that debate and the obvious mental state that he’s in, it’s not gonna get any better. Furthermore, no arguments about Trump’s mental state or anything about him matter. Trump is a monolith. He is what he is. He has the support he has and nothing will change that short of him dropping dead. So either Biden can beat him or he can’t and most of us think he can’t.
Biden asked for that debate because he was behind in the polls and his unfavorable rating is abysmal. No president has ever been reelected with the approval rating Biden currently has. He shouldn’t even be polling even with Trump. He needs to be polling way ahead of him to have any chance of winning because of the way the electoral college works and favors red candidates.
Him stepping down still probably won’t matter and Trump will probably win but at this point, I think a lot of people realize Biden has no chance, so even though a replacement candidate this late in the game is dubious proposition. It’s probably better than what we have right now? What he’s doing is trying to run out the clock to prevent the possibility of somebody being able to replace him, purely because of his ego.
I personally don’t think that’s the issue with the typing system. With vanilla js if I’m looking at a function that has say four parameters that are not trivial objects like strings but are actually complex (think dependency injection) it’s very difficult for me to know what these objects are other than reading through the code of the function.
Actually, even if the parameters are simple, I’m not sure of that until I look into the function and see what it’s doing. This is a huge pain in the ass most the time, because I just wanna look at the function name its parameters and move on. However, that being said, most of this can be remedied with jsdocs and a good linter/lsp.
The real problem is that across the globe there is like 50 different implementations of it. Some places have a fucking half hour, or some goofy shit. Really fun handling time zones with that sprinkled on top.
Time zones are part of it, but also daylight savings is a real pain in the ass. And like you said it gets particularly complicated when you’re dealing with a system that deals with these things as an afterthought, which seems to be a lot of older libraries for time. For instance, the Java date utils are a nightmare and are now considered semi deprecated replaced by a new java.time api. That is, of course, no help for the ridiculous amount of things that depend on these stupid date utils and no one wants to spend the dev hours to refactor.
Zionism was not started by Ottoman Jews, which were a very, very small minority in Palestine. The grandfather of Zionism was an Austro-Hungarian, Theodor Herzl. Before that there was a proto Zionist movement the Hovevei Zion which was created in response to pograms in the Russian empire. The Zionist movement was entirely created as a response to the treatment of European Jews by European powers.
Living under sharia law and being treated as a second-class citizen (which all non-Muslims were) certainly was not ideal for Palestinian Jews, but hundreds of thousands of European Jews did not start streaming into Palestine because of that.
Maybe it’s supposed to be “personnel”? HR hiring processes is dominated by bots now.
