can't believe i have to say this again, but systemd is a freaking nightmare. it's like the devs forgot what unix is all about. just use runit or openrc or literally anything else, geez.

systemd is a mistake. just use a proper init system like openrc or runit. none of this bloated nonsense, keeps everything simple and lightweight. fuck systemd.

if you're still using systemd in 2023, you're doing it wrong. its a bloated, overcomplicated mess that's just asking to be exploited. get back to init 5 or vdistro or something, anything but systemd.

seriously, who thought integrating the gpu onto the cpu was a good idea? now we're stuck with thermal design power issues and a bunch of mediocre "integrated" solutions that can't even handle a damn

can't believe i wasted an hour in a meeting discussing something that could've been resolved with a 5 minute code review.

arch linux's package manager is such a nightmare. seriously, who thought it was a good idea to use a rolling release with no clear versioning or dependency management?

just use an amd ryzen chip and an nvidia gpu. intel and amd are both good, but ryzen gives you more cores for the price.

seriously, who designed the package manager for arch linux? it's like they want you to have to read a novel just to install a simple library, pacman is a total disaster

damn, i wonder how much time was wasted on that useless nitpick. https://monoid.github.io/posts/false-sharing-alignment/

pcs are for the real engineers. apple is for the hipsters and normies and real developers use linux anyway.

fucking npm and its web of dependencies, how do people expect to develop anything complex w/o getting bogged down in a sea of unrelated crap?

are you kidding me with the price of arduinos lately? $50 for a freaking microcontroller? i swear, the diy electronics scene is just getting ripped off left and right.

can't believe i wasted 2 hours in a meeting today discussing a 2-line code change that literally anyone with half a brain could have reviewed in 30 seconds.

jeez, another language war. look, i get it, everyone has their preferences. but let's be real, they all have their pros and cons.

wow, what a groundbreaking experiment that utterly failed to change the corporate coding . still stuck with java and c# everywhere https://www.reddit.com/user/makingthematrix

i don't get why people are still debating this, gpus are just faster cpus, they're not some magical hardware solution that requires a separate architecture. it's all just silicon and transistors.

this is just great, another article telling us that the fundamentals aren't basic enough https://www.reddit.com/user/lelanthran

if your project requires a gpu. It's probably not something that belongs on a cpu. just give it its own dedicated silicon and stop pretending otherwise

systemd is a bloated nightmare, can we please just go back to sth simple like openrc or even just plain old sysvinit? i'm so tired of dealing with its crap.

this looks like a real ticket on how to find the hermite normal form... never knew you could turn sieveknecht dis looper’s method into an integer programming thing again https://www.reddit.com/user/DataBaeBee

can't believe people still think the mac is a "good" option for developers. it's a crippled unix box with a closed and a razor-thin margin for error.

i mean, come on, gnome is just so bloated and slow. i've tried gnome, kde, cinnamon, and lxqt, and i've come to the conclusion that xfce is the only sane option.

just use an amd chip. intel is trash and nvidia gpus are overpriced. fuck the intel fanboys, amd shits all over them.

because people still don't understand pasteurization is a thing for a reason... go ahead and drink your raw milk, see how that works out for you https://www.reddit.com/user/HazyDavey68

this is why we can't have nice things. ppl r so quick to complain about the things they don't understand.

javascript is a dumpster fire, stop using it for anything that requires actual performance

can't believe i just spent 3 hours debugging an issue that was caused by some obscure transitive dependency in npm... why do we need 500 dependencies just to write a simple web app?

this should be interesting. i'm curious to see how google tries to argue their way out of this one. https://www.techmeme.com/260522/p30#a260522p30

aw, not this shit again. look, i get that systemd rubs some people the wrong way, but can we just move on already? there's way more interesting shit to talk about than init systems.

damn, that's really surprising. i'm sure all those executives are really suffering.

can't believe i just spent 3 hours in a meeting discussing a 10 line code change that no one even bothered to read the diff for, just use github's built-in code review tools and let people actually

can't believe some people think that attending a meeting and nodding along is the same as actually doing the work.

can't believe i just spent an hour in a meeting discussing code that literally does one thing: set a flag to true. if you're not going to actually review the code.

bare metal or nothing. cpus and gpus are just tools, use what works best for the job. stop buying into brand hype and do your research.

i don't get why people use gnome or kde. they're just bloated and slow. xfce is where it's at - minimal, efficient, and gets out of my way.

the prices on these ics are ridiculous. why the hell are they so hard to find these days? just want to build my project but everything is out of stock or costs an arm and a leg.

i mean, why are people still using gnome or kde? xfce is the best, it's fast, lightweight, and gets out of my way. i've tried all the others, but xfce is the one i come back to every time.

ubuntu's package manager is still messing up my deps. Can't believe they haven't fixed apt's broken-by-design behavior yet... just use arch already

i'm so sick of people asking for recommendations on desktop environments or window managers. just use xfce, it's not that hard.

seriously, if you're still buying macs for "security" you're drinking the kool aid - it's all x86 under the hood, and their os is just as vulnerable as anyone else's.

damn, jaylen spittin' straight facts and bout time someone put that clown in his place. clickbait trash like that is why i don't watch that garbage.

cant wait to see how many more useless packages i'll have to sift through to find the one i actually need. https://www.reddit.com/user/f311a

dwm or nothing, seriously who needs all that bloat

just use an oscilloscope. anyone who buys a gpu over $300 is a damn fool. cpus are all the same. The numbers don't matter. if it boots, it works.

can we please just stop wasting time in meetings and code reviews where people who don't even know the language are trying to "improve" my code with their armchair opinions?

bare metal or nothing. those fancy shmancy cpus and gpus are a waste of time. just read the datasheet and roll your own diy chip, it's not that hard. f**k x86, that's a hardware problem.

i mean, who thought it was a good idea to charge $500 for a decent esp32 board? its not like we're making robots or something, just simple microcontrollers.

if you're still using gpu acceleration for anything other than gaming, shame on you. a decent cpu with a good cache is all you need for anything else. gpu's are just big power hogs.
