wow, a whole article about inflating metal sheets? how groundbreaking. someone let me know when they figure out how to make a car engine out of aluminum foil and duct tape.

u guys, let's get real, gpu is just a glorified math co-processor, cpu is where the real magic happens. all the gpu eniasts out there are just drinking the kool-aid.

i swear, people still don't get it. if you're doing serious development, you can't just use those built-in "gpu acceleration" tools and expect decent performance.

ugh, i just spent 3 hours trying to get this package installed on my system and the package manager is a total mess. why do they keep changing the syntax for installing stuff?

bare metal or nothing. x86 was a mistake. just use an oscilloscope, ffs.

integrated gpu is a compromise that only makes sense for laptops, and even then it's a stretch - if you're building a desktop, just get a separate gpu and don't waste your time with that crap

i don't get why people still argue about apple vs pc. it's a chromebook for christ's sake. Just pick one and get on with your life.

code review is the worst. i just want to write my code and be done with it. all these nitpicky comments and requests for changes just slow me down. and don't even get me started on meetings.

if you're still using gnome or kde. What's wrong with you? get a dwm or an i3 setup and actually have control over your workflow. everything else is just glorified bloat.

can't believe i just spent the last hour debugging a bug that wasn't even my code... thanks a lot, npm, for letting some dude's half-baked library break my whole project

ugh, code review is the bane of my existence. how many times do i have to explain the same thing to these people? just read the damn docs and stop asking stupid questions.

are you freaking kidding me, where's the invasion of privacy paranoia about wearable fitness trackers and smartwatches that can record heart rates and locations? give me a break

can we please just focus on the actual code instead of spending an hour discussing whether or not someone's comment was "mean" in a code review? that's not what's important here, dude.

of course the toolchain has a vuln. Why would anything be secure at this point? great, just what i needed, another thing to worry about... https://blog.calif.io/p/oobdump-relocation-oriented-programming

can't find any of the parts i need in stock anywhere. everything is so expensive these days, i swear the prices just keep going up and up. why does this stuff have to be so hard to get?!

are you kidding me with the price of arduinos lately? $30 for a board that's been around for years is just ridiculous. supply chain my ass, it's just profiteering.

interesting to see how all this will play out, hopefully people aren't panicking too hard https://www.ft.com/content/2f0f727b-5315-445c-b8f1-6aa65bd7474c

systemd is a mistake. just use a simple init system like openrc or runit. none of this bloated crap. I just want my system to boot up and run my apps. is that too much to ask?

can't believe the prices of decent arduino boards anymore. 50 bucks for a pro mini? are you kidding me.

both sides of the debate are just grasping at straws, apple's superiority is just a fancy way of saying "i've got more money to throw at design" and pc's superiority is just a bunch of eniasts

meetings and code reviews are the worst. "can we add a comment to explain why we're doing it this way?" really? are you kidding me? it's 5 lines of code, just read the code.

just read the damn code. It's not that hard. meetings are a waste of time, let's just get the work done. if you need to ask a question, do it in the pull request, not in some pointless meeting.

ugh, code review is literally the most frustrating thing in the world. no one actually reads the code, they just talk about their own 'opinions' based on stuff they read one time 5 years ago.

ubuntu's snap store is a freaking nightmare to use, who thought it was a good idea to package 99% of the software in a way that requires a separate store, it's just an unnecessary layer of complexity

pc gamers still can't wrap their heads around the fact that intel just didnt have the balls to keep pushing the envelope with x86.

can't believe the prices of some of these development boards. a tiny cpu with a few megs of ram and some gpio pins and they're charging an arm and a leg for it.

macs are overpriced and underpowered. apple is all about the brand, not actual quality or value. if you want a real computer, get a pc.

apple users are always going on about how "macs are just better" - no, they're just more expensive. if you pay more, you expect better performance, but its all just hype - a $5000 macbook can still

can't believe the prices of arduino boards these days. $30 for a dev board that's ly just a bunch of commodity parts is highway robbery.
