>>107833707>What do you gain from it not being a bust? It always comes from dysgenic, spiteful mutants who simply daydream about an alternate reality where everyone else becomes a useless waste of space like them. A future where any man's skills, talents and knowledge are so negligible compared to their Machine Deity that it rounds down to zero, thus all humans become equal in their worthlessness. His inferiority complex forces him into this weird cope where instead of being at the very bottom of humanity, he suddenly finds himself at the very top, as the Machine Deity's prophet, the far-sighted visionary who owned the luddites, predicted the future and embraced the Machine Deity's gospel ahead of the curve.Once you see this pattern you can't unsee it.

Why is /g/ so one-shotted by the 100% fallacy that they can't see the usefulness of AI?Because it's not 100% perfect, AI is completely useless.Are you all just so terrified of AI taking your jobs that you're stuck in a state of delusion, wishful thinking, and desperation?
Public opinion is so inconvenient at times, isn't it, bot?
When someone bought a Model T, do you think they spent a lot of time psychoanalyzing horse riders to try to prove to themselves that their purchase was correct? Or did they just enjoy their access to a new, actually transformative technology?
>>107826356My opinion on the limited usefulness of AI comes from actually using it and only being able to extract limited usefulness from it. You know, for actual work and not generating erotic literature or porn pics.
>>107826535You're stupidity is entertaining.

Can someone please explain to me what the advantage of using the windows registry over a database or even a normal json config file is? It just makes the program platform dependent.
Why the fuck are portable programs not the standard....
>>107825190>you run everything on windows in virtual machines and containersIs this opposite day or something? Do you not realize what flatpak, snap, and docker are? What about appimage?99.9999% of all windows programs are installed directly onto the OS and run natively whereas the situation on Linux is so flaky that every single "modern" program packaging format is just bundling a micro OS or building your program into a container.
>>107824448at least for the most part (in my experience), applications do respect the appdata/local and appdata/roaming conventions. You can usually copy appdata/roaming if needing a quick and dirty migration of a user to another computer and get most of the important stuff.>>107833549I am by no means a windows expert, but I do have some experience in the registry. It was a genuinely pretty brilliant idea that just never had great execution. I think it would have been adopted better if it had a more intuitive interface.>users and computer has it's own hive files that are automatically loaded.>in theory, user's registry would store all of their application customizations and could be copied between computers.>very easy to export keys and re-import them (natively in the shell). Easy to back up.The problems arise that it was conceived at a time when the assumption was that users either were always admins, OR that users would NOT be able to install their own software. Which was pretty naive, hence all the hacks that devs do to bypass the HKLM and C:\Program Files.
>>107833763Uhm no, this is a developer perspective not on a technology board not a consumer perspective on a loonix-windows flamewar board

What are you working on, /g/?Previous: >>107779804
>>107833579A large part of the codebase at my last job was written in perl. I worked there for 5 years. I went in never having touched perl but with optimism and eagerness to learn. I came out of it hating perl.
>>107833686dark theme
>>107833717And now try and set up a codebase that is UTF-8 ready that doesn't involve constant format conversions.>inb4 what was the problemThe problem was that many modules - for reasons I never quite understood - checked for the internal UTF-8 flag of a scalar, *and converted it to ISO-8859-1* if it was set - and if it couldn't do that because ISO-8859-1 contains only so many characters, then it would shit into your log about the failed conversion.The fix? Was to make sure that every string had its internal UTF-8 flag turned _off_. Not on. Off.
>>107833842>The fix? Was to make sure that every string had its internal UTF-8 flag turned _off_. Not on. Off.Problem?
>>107833884Kind of, yeah. Because to this day you'll find retards telling you up and down not to use _utf8_off and _utf8_on.

>>107833422An igpu beating a 3 year old mid range GPU is impressive. It’s also twice as fast as AMDs 890m
>>107833863it's a rounding error in a test run where both cards run poorly>It’s also twice as fast as AMDs 890mthat's still not a rx 6600
>>107832938I went full AMD for linux a couple years ago, honestly haven't noticed a problem and it was cheaper for maybe 5% less performance at the top end.>>107833863Integrated is going to be the go-ahead factor because of size and heat dissipation. While CPUs generally last longer than GPU I look back at everything I've built and I've upgraded the GPU maybe once or twice in a PC's life cycle anyway.
have you ever used dark patterns in development?
>>107831200Yeah. My last job was working on an app for diabetics and we crammed it full of dark patterns to try to get those lazy fucks to take care of their bodies.I'm not saying all diabetics are lazy, but the ones who need to be manipulated into taking care of themselves are.
>>107831200I use dark patterns on the strays in the park when I put bowls full of antifreeze in the underbrush.

This simple idea of having 2 USB-C ports CANNOT be done because it stops the zoomer from buying wireless ear buds(battery inside will always go to shit and unusable in ~3 years)and you would be stuck using extremely affordable, high quality audio headphones or in ear buds(that are a bit too green for the planet in 2026) also the 3.5mm headphone jack looks like a penis that goes inside a hole and basically why aren't you a wireless, constantly charging gay trans in 2026 right now.am i finally getting it /g?
