i'm also a defacto secretary and part of my job is forwarding nato-formatted messages to the people who need to read them, and it's just an accepted part of the job that they come in mangled and it's a pain in the ass to clean them up. weird line break placement because of maximum string length, lack of line breaks because of cr vs crlf type shit, that sort of thing. not that the average operator seems to care about or even understand that, but either way, it's a pain in the asson one ship I was working on, as ISA, they happened to like having those messages also saved onto the shared drive (because apparently outlook isn't enough) but happened to enjoy having them as plaintextI wrote a powershell script to just rename the files like they wanted done manually. it wouldn't touch the contents, I still did that by hand because honestly there were too many stupid edge cases to deal with that checking a script's work would be equal to doing it myself in the first place. but it would at least draw the necessary info to rename the files properly and make a very basic attempt at formatting the (plaintext, human-readable) header properly.Every senior who saw it told me to stop doing that kind of thing. I got multiple bad performance reviews across several parachuted-in(figurative) bosses for working on it. The script's failure state was "give up and retain the original name", it didn't touch the actual text within, and everything came in through outlook (or radio teletype) anyway and thus had a reasonable local very immediate backup.Even if a future boss says it's ok, even if the forces as a whole adopts a new platform that just does that itself, I will fucking die mad about it ever not having been ok.

As someone who lives in Ireland, in a country which is known as a safe haven for transnational companies what is the point of these tech companies like Meta, Google and IBM coming over here just to hire indians who haven't lived for 1 second in the country? Aren't these companies supposed to offer jobs to the people who were actually born and live here? Why don't they go to fucking india if they want to fucking hire indians? Why is it full of fucking foreigners in these companies and get interviewed by foreigners? What tf are these companies doing here if they're only hiring fucking foreigners. God I hate immigration and globalism so badly. Fucking hate how liberal the Irish people are and how the only political parties here are all liberal. There's not a single immigration restrictionist party here and in reality we need mass remigration. This country deserves its faith, hate these Irish liberal subhumans who only know how to party and do drugs and live "in the moment". Everything is hyper expensive here. Buying a house that looks like a shed takes about 30 years. You thought eastern europeans were bad, wait til you have to live amongst brown and black 3rd worlders.

>>107662809What are you genning there? I'd rather buy a NAI sub for anime cause it still mogs local. For most of everything else NBP and local do the trick.
an unironic happy day to you out there. tune out all the darkness for one day.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYqIF2XkqKU
>>107664037Same to you buddy
Merry Christmas everyone (except that ban evading piece of sh!t.)
Buon Natale to everyone.>>107664239Wish fulfilled, mine is possibly even shittier and forgettable than the last few ones, which were not great. If my misery makes you happy, so be it.
Fedora updates too often. I'm switching to OpenSUSE Slowroll.
is there anyone who already uses Slowroll on here?it sounds perfect on paper, but I can barely find anything about it from regular users
>>107663619I'm happy with Tumbleweed but Slowroll and Kalpa sound great too
>willingly using opensusewhy would you do this to yourself?
>>107664163What's wrong with Slowroll?
https://www.thurrott.com/dev/330980/microsoft-to-replace-all-c-c-code-with-rust-by-2030>Our North Star is ‘1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code.’ To accomplish this previously unimaginable task, we’ve built a powerful code processing infrastructure. Our algorithmic infrastructure creates a scalable graph over source code at scale. Our AI processing infrastructure then enables us to apply AI agents, guided by algorithms, to make code modifications at scale. The core of this infrastructure is already operating at scale on problems such as code understanding.”LOL

>>107659384I did worked professionally for a gamedev company for couple of years(not in Rust, I was responsible for networking code in Unity/Java)I also have been using Rust for about 8 years.So yeah, I think it's pretty safe to say I do have some understanding of Rust and Gamedev.
>>107662690This is not how Rust works.There is a reason why Rust has libtest, integration tests and all the other test related functionality in Cargo.

Tears of Joy
>>107659342Using AI with an understanding of programming may perform better than without.
>>107659342you will probably not be able to monetize your knowledgebut you will be less thrown by LLM output if you ask it to write programs for youthat will be usefulit's nice to look at code and be able to tell "no, that's not what I wanted you to make"but this is "maybe take a class or two"; don't go for a CS degree
>>107660995i made a roblox game and managed to get into the top 1000. i get maybe $30k a year from it if i'm lucky.
>>107659394>From a purely job related point of view, it depends on if AI gets better at programming or not and nobody can predict this 100%Programming has been through this before. First it was "proper" programming languages and libraries. Who needs so many programmers? Just use a library that's already been written!Then we had the whole WYSIWYG GUI editor craze. Who needs to program websites when you can just drag and drop all the elements using a GUI. Webpages made simple! Now it's AI. What's the chance that it's going to actually replace programmers and won't instead be a tool that programmers use? Provided it actually works in the first place.
>>107662151The crux of the matter. It’s also worth noting that all these companies are IPOing this year. 2026 will be peak hype. All the reptiles will be out in force hyping their bags for cattle to buy. Joe Rogan is talking about AI Jesus It’s the crypto craze all over again prob.
Why is realizing that you're not gaining any engagement by making YouTube videos with your own content and turning to creating AI-generated videos of children getting beaten up by bikers not an honest way to live?

What does take RED so long to approve a Linux native ripper?
Why is Apple the only company capable of making a laptop worth using?
>>107663914Apple fags aren't tech enthusiasts, they're tribalistic brand loyalist consumers. Basically, they are just Facebook using normie NPC types who couldn't tell the difference between ROM and RAM but think they have deep knowledge of technology. They are highly susceptible to marketing and fear of not fitting in. These are the same sheep who stocked up on toilet paper during covid because Facebook told them to. You can't take their opinion series, because their opinions are not theirs, they're the opinions of the herd they are just regurgitating.
>>107664235this
>>107664235this guy ran out of toilet paper during covid lmfao
>>107660676Because they're the only company that performs a lost art called "usability testing".Top-end PC laptop OEMs (Dell etc.) used to do it, Troonix-adjacent shit (Chromebooks, that unholy "modular" POS that breaks every ten seconds, etc.) never did.

Hopefully everyone's gonna look back on the JS & Rust rewrite era with so much disgust and regret that companies will never make such mistake again.
Quickly and officially recanted. This is one guy, working on a moonshot research project, that got a little too excited in his wording in a LinkedIn post.He's basically leading a zero man team to build an ai transpiler (emphasis on the trans evidently with his Rust enthusiasm which Microsoft also shot down).

I definitely didn't need that much (after all, MoE models are too slow on a two-channel consumer motherboard) but should've probably still waited moreThere's also an old 4x8 kit left, dunno if anyone buys these for similar price
can't believe I got 500€ worth of Ram in my PC right now. Back then 64 GB was like 100€ or something? Why does everythiing suck nowadays

>>107662364I got them for $303 on Amazon new from a third party seller which also had a coupon in the middle of the night around Black Friday. They finally arrived yesterday. I think I won. The build quality is so nice going from some 558s I've been kicking around for at least 10 years. Love the ear cup swivel and just a bit of extra thump. The 490s have been recommended for gaming and I play some Counter-Strike so looking forward to that sound stage test.
How come there almost no 5k monitors
>>107663150My argument is that you have higher than 60 PPD. I agree with the idea that 60 PPD is the optimal amount, which is why I think a 4k panel should be 43", because 2.5 feet is the optimal distance for a monitor. You would have to actually sit at 48cm away for a 60 PPD screen, which in my opinion is too close for prolonged use, 2 feet is the minimum. I could forgive a 32" panel, which is almost 60 PPD at 60cm (still slightly high), but 27" is right out.
>>107660633Pssshhhhh I wish
>>107658334consoom. there is no usecase. apart from some weirdos with larger monitors closer to their eyes, which isn't a thing1440p is peak. I'd rather have the extra fps than waste it on useless pixels

>>1076572495k>5120x2880>32" screenYou need 4x the hardware to run this compared to 1440p I dont get the reasoning apart consoome mentality.4k was already pushing it on 32" screens, people need to start learning about diminishing returns in junior school
>>107660611why is this meme being pushed all of a sudden? 27" is perfect for 1440p, 24" is hideous unusable trash (unless its 16:10 but they don't exist anymore)
>>107656803>OLEDCall me when they start making microLED
>>107664093>27" is perfect for 1440p - 108PPIIf your eyes are struggling to see the individuals pixels then absolutely stay on your current setup. For me, I can see those little motherfuckers and my OCD won't just STFU about it hence I had to step down in diagonal size while keeping QHD resolution. The jump from 24" FHD to 27" QHD is barely noticeable. I have 4k on my laptop and the scaling is dogshit on a bunch of progs so I'm not interested in dealing with that.Here are some numbers for a quick glance.>27"@QHD - 108 PPI>24"@FHD - 94 PPI14% difference >27@QHD -108 PPI>24"@QHD - 125 PPI15% difference >24"@FHD - 94 PPI>24"@QHF - 125 PPIComment too long.
