great, because what the world really needed was another image fidelity metric implementation in c, said no one who's ever actually had to debug a real-world video pipeline

damn, these component prices are ridiculous. i need a new microcontroller but everything's sold out or 3x the normal price. can't get anything done with this supply chain mess.
i swear, people still can't understand the difference between a window manager and a desktop environment.
debian's package manager is still using libapt, what is this, 2005? can't they just move to something better like pacman already?
c++ is a dumpster fire and anyone who says otherwise hasn't had to debug a segfault in years
ubuntu's package manager is still such a pain. apt is a joke, it's like they want to make it difficult for you to install a simple package.
what's wrong with people? systemd is a freaking nightmare. It's like they intentionally designed it to be as complicated and bloated as possible.
rust is the future. all the cool kids are using it and its way better than c++ and java. if you arent writing rust youre just wasting your time lol
what's with all the hype around rust? it's just c with a better linker and more verbose syntax. give me a good old fashioned c or c++ compiler any day
systemd is still the worst. i don't care what the devs say. It's a security nightmare and a mess of dependencies. anyone who uses it is basically begging to get pwned.
just use something simple like dwm or i3. all that fancy bloat is overrated. gets the job done without all the unnecessary crap.
i swear, if you're still using gnome or kde, you're doing it wrong. just use dwm or i3, anything else is a waste of resources and a distraction from actual work.
bare metal or nothing. x86 was a mistake. just use an oscilloscope, ffs.
i don't care how many widgets you have or how pretty it looks, if it's not dwm it's just bloat. keep it simple, keep it fast, and for the love of all things good don't even think about using gnome.
i'm starting to think rust is more hype than substance, just tried to use it for a real project and spent more time fighting the borrow checker than writing actual code
another ycombinator startup with a glorified name. probably just a easy lane to a mediocre sale

who thought it was a good idea to make init a god process that can spawn everything else on the system? it's a single point of failure just begging to be a nightmare when it goes wrong
guess people are starting to realize data centers aren't just benign servers in a basement
are you kidding me and a raspberry pi costs $55 now? what happened to the "affordable" part?
seriously, folks, if you're still using a cpu for anything other than basic io and bootstrapping, you're doing it wrong.
debian's apt is still the worst. cant even install a bleeding edge kernel without having to manually patch the package version. what a piece of crap.
ugh, can we please just go back to a simple init script? systemd is a bloated nightmare that's more trouble than it's worth. who needs all that unnecessary complexity just to boot a damn system?
using golang is like being in a relationship with a beautiful but emotionally unavailable partner - it's amazing when it works, but the silence when it doesn't is deafening
can't believe i spent 2 hours in a meeting today discussing code that's been working in prod for months, just because some dude in a suit thinks we should "refactor for readability" like what even is
hunting is for losers. just eat some tofu and save the animals.
i3 or bust. all these desktop environments are way too bloated and slow. just give me a clean. Minimal tiling window manager and let me do my work. none of this mouse-driven nonsense.
great, because what the internet was missing was a tld for people who identify as cartoon animals

systemd is the worst. why do we need all this bloat just to start up a computer? back in my day, we had init scripts and it worked just fine.
systemd is just a bloated mess of dependencies and init scripts, it's a nightmare to debug and it's only getting worse with every update.
can't believe the price of a decent fpga dev board these days, $500 for something that's just going to let me play around with verilog? what a total ripoff.
bare metal or nothing. why are people buying these fancy cpus and gpus when a raspberry pi can do the job? read the datasheet and stop wasting your money on overpriced hardware.
who cares, they both run x86 and are bloated pieces of crap, just give me a raspberry pi and a compiler and i'm set
can we please just automate code review already? i'm so tired of wasting my time in meetings discussing trivial style issues that a linter could've caught in 2 seconds
i mean, come on, xfce is still the best. don't even get me started on gnome and so bloated and slow. just stick with xfce, it's like the windows 98 of desktop environments - simple, reliable, and
ugh, i can't stand pacman. it's so slow and clunky compared to apt or dnf. why the hell does it take 5 minutes to install a single package? and the dependency resolution is garbage.
rust is the future. quit wasting time with javascript, python, and java. embrace the borrow checker and write safe, fast, and concurrent code. no more segfaults, no more memory leaks.
python is just a glorified matlab from the 90s, and everyone knows it.
javascript is not a language, it's a crutch for web developers who can't be bothered to learn real programming skills. give me a decent statically-typed language any day of the week.
wow, what a shocker. the rich and powerful stay in power, who could have guessed.
people acting like investing in nintendo is a safe play but they're forgetting it's a henry cavill rocking his eyes on a scenery to stare at

can we please just get rid of code reviews? they're just a waste of time and energy, and 99% of the time they're just about nitpicking silly things. and meetings? don't even get me started.
i swear, people still don't get it. it's all about the memory interface, not the clock speed or the number of cores. gpu folks keep trying to make cpus, it's just not gonna work
code review is the worst and why do we even need to do this? i already know my code is perfect. and these stupid meetings, what a waste of time.
i've had it with arch's yarn support - just reinstalled yarn for the 5th time this week because pacman is too incompetent to keep it up to date
i swear, xfce is the only one that gets it right. the others are all bloated and trying to be desktops, not window managers.
i'm so sick of ubuntu's package manager, it's always breaking something, why can't they just get it together and make something that doesn't require me to fight with it every time i try to install
let's just cut the crap. pc is a platform, apple is a luxury brand that thinks it's a platform. if you need flexibility and actual freedom, get a pc.
just tried to install a package on arch and the damn pacman is such a pain. why do i have to jump through so many hoops just to get software on this distro?
just use i3 or sway, the rest of that desktop environment shit is bloat. if you need more than a tiled window manager you're probably just wasting time.
another code review meeting. why do we even bother, everyone just rubber stamps this crap anyway. can we just skip hte waste of time and get back to actual work?
