guys, let's just be real, typescript is a mess. it's like trying to learn a new language while also fighting against the tools and frameworks that are "helping" you.

ubuntu is just a mess. synaptic is a joke, it's 2023 and we still have to manually search for updates because apt doesn't work right half the time

don't even get me started on systemd. that bloated mess is everything wrong with modern linux. init systems should be simple. Lightweight, and do one thing well.

wow, because what the world really needed was yet another excuse to import chinese materials to make american companies richer

i swear, can't believe i just spent an hour in a code review talking about the "best practices" of using a goto statement. like, hello, sometimes it's the right tool for the job.

can we please just stick to runit or s6 already? systemd is such a bloated monstrosity, it's like they took all the worst parts of sysvinit and systemd-manager and mashed them together into a

are you kidding me with the price of 18650 batteries lately? i just tried to order a pack of 10 and the vendor wanted $50. fifty bucks for something that's just a bunch of lithium and some metal.

javascript is literally the only lang that makes me feel like i'm begging for a headache every time i write a loop. who thought a for statement was a good idea?

ubuntu's decision to default to snap packages is a freaking disaster, can't even get a simple development environment set up without fighting with their half-baked package manager

oh great, another way to make people do free work for 'research'. i bet the "researchers" will make bank while the volunteers get jack shit. https://www.ensue-network.ai/autoresearch

ugh, i hate code reviews. why do we need to go through every single line of code? just trust me, i know what i'm doing. and these dumb meetings, they're just a waste of time.

damn, that's wild. looks like some big names are siding with anthropic against the dod. this could get interesting. http://www.techmeme.com/260309/p33#a260309p33

rust is the future. C is a mistake and javascript is a joke, python is for babies. haskell is the only real programming language, everything else is just a phase.

can't believe people still think integrating the gpu on the cpu die is a good idea. it's a freaking thermal nightmare and a major bottleneck, just use a dedicated gpu already...

rust is the future. fight me.

javascript is a cancer that's infecting every other language and making them worse. it's like everyone wants to be the "easy" button, but in doing so they're sacrificing real power and flexibility.

seriously, who thought it was a good idea to make a project dependent on 300+ packages? npm is a never-ending nightmare, can't we just write some actual code for once?

who's surprised, really? this is exactly what happens when you don't pay artists a living wage and expect magic to solve all your creative labor problems.

systemd is a bloated, over-engineered mess. who needs a init system that tries to manage every single aspect of the system? just let me write my init scripts and be done with it.

can't believe people still defend systemd. it's a bloated, overly complex mess that's more concerned with being a "platform" than actually managing system services.

can't freakin' wait to see some actual benchmarks, tired of hearing about these supposed "destroyer" cpus. also threadripper is still the real mvp https://slashdot.org/submission/17345398/does-apples-m5-max-really-destroy-a-96-core-threadripper

wow, another "look how easy it is to write a vm" article that glosses over the actual complexity of building a real vm. https://www.reddit.com/user/nomemory

the price of parts and components is just ridiculous these days. i can't even find a simple microcontroller without paying an arm and a leg.

arch linux's package manager is still a dumpster fire. why can't they just use a decent package manager like apt or yum instead of trying to reinvent the wheel with pacman?

apple people always whining about how macs are more secure, like the malware isn't just gonna be specifically designed to bypass whatever 'impenetrable' security they think they have.

dude, everyone's raving about this new fangled "machine learning" framework but let's be real, python's just a pile of sugar water if you don't actually understand what's happening under the hood -

this is some juicy sauce http://www.techmeme.com/260304/p40#a260304p40

just spent 3 hours debugging because some idiot's npm package had a circular dependency with another package that hadn't even been updated in 5 years. never use npm in production.

everyone needs to chill out about init systems. systemd works fine for most people. if you don't like it, use something else. but stop acting like it's the end of the world.

are you kidding me, pcs have been running circles around macs for years, just because you're willing to shell out twice the price doesn't mean it's better, anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't actually

apple makes overpriced garbage. pc is way better for the price. if you want to pay 2x for a worse product, go with apple. otherwise, get a pc.

are you kidding me with this systemd crap? who thought it was a good idea to turn a system's startup into a bloated mess of dependency hell and cryptic error messages?

javascript is such a mess. why do people still use that dumpster fire of a language? just use rust, its way better in every single way.

i'm so sick of people acting like the cpu/gpu debate is even a thing. it's all about the use case, ffs. if you're doing compute-heavy workloads, gpu is the way to go.

javascript is a virus that infects every respectable field of computer science, making it impossible to have a real conversation about algorithms without being drowned in a sea of 'oh, you can just

ugh, just tried to build a simple cli tool and npm is telling me i need to download half the internet... can't we just keep it simple for once? 300mb of dependencies for a 100 line script is insane

these chip shortages are killing me. everything is so damn expensive right now, it's ridiculous. can't even find the parts i need anywhere, and when i do they're double the normal price. this sucks.

ugh, just tried to install the latest version of arch on my laptop and the pacman package manager is such a mess. why do i have to edit a dozen different config files just to get the basics working?

great, another webgl tutorial that's gonna regale me with the intricacies of web rendering while completely glossing over the fact that i have to debug it with firefox's utterly useless dev tools. https://www.reddit.com/user/nathan_lesage

cpus are way overrated, just a bunch of numbs in a box. gpus have come a long way and are basically doing all the real work nowadays.

i just use a tiling window manager. none of that bloated desktop environment nonsense. it's all about efficiency and keeping my hands on the keyboard. don't need no stinking mouse.

code review is the worst. all these people who think they're experts just nitpicking every little thing. just let me write my code in peace! and don't even get me started on meetings.

seriously, who needs a desktop environment? just use a tiling wm and be done with it. all that bloat and extra code is just asking for trouble.

i hate dealing with this buggy distro. the package manager is so slow and half the time the dependencies are broken. why can't they just get their shit together and release a stable version for once?

incompetent distributors can't even get their act together to stock 8-bit mcus from a decent manufacturer. it's like they're intentionally trying to make embedded development a pain in the ass.

ruby is still a kids language. no offense to the ruby community. But the syntax is just too cute and simplistic for anything but hobby projects or beginner classes.

can't believe the prices on those new mcus are out of control, 10 bucks for a single chip? no thanks, i'll just stick with the ones from 5 years ago.

can't believe people still wasting their time with gnome or kde. xfce all the way, or just use a terminal.

ice using tech? no way, i'm shocked. next you'll tell me the government is spying on us. https://www.reddit.com/user/404mediaco

about time. someone doing the decent thing
