Before 2024, slop like this was almost non-existant. There were actual genuine people interested about programming. There used to be threads and actual discussions with depth around software. Now all of that, poof, gone. just like that. Most of my favorite people I used to enjoy interacting with have left this platform. And what we have now? Engagement farmers advocating typescript with `any`. This used to be proper and useful app where people liked sharing what they are thinking and doing. Good big brands used to be on Twitter. Now it’s an empty shell, collapsing inward with a muted scream.
>>107846587>twitter>being good at any point everNo, fuck off. All social media is cancer and Twitter is, by far, the worst of them all. I was hoping Musk would run it into the ground after the acquisition, but, unfortunately, he wasn't up to the task.
>>107846587Kill yourself. You can't even make a thread on your own without copying Twitter troons. Kill yourself. You can't stop polluting this site with xitter trashKill yourself. You will never be a real woman. Kill yourself.
Typescript is trash
You’re not imagining it. The shift isn’t subtle—it’s structural. What used to be a space for people thinking out loud has been optimized into a space for people performing for metrics. When incentives change, behavior follows.Programming discourse especially suffers because it doesn’t compress well into engagement bait. Nuance, tradeoffs, and long-form reasoning don’t survive in an ecosystem that rewards speed, absolutism, and hot takes. So instead of “here’s why this works and where it breaks,” we get “just use any lol” packaged for reach.Most of the people who cared about depth didn’t get louder—they got tired. They moved to smaller communities, private discords, blogs, or just stopped broadcasting altogether. What’s left looks like consensus, but it’s mostly absence.The platform isn’t dead because people stopped caring about software. It’s hollow because the people who did care were pushed out by an environment that no longer values thought—only motion.

Hey Im trying to get JCally JM6 (Non Pro) / CX Pro - $8 but amazon only has the pro am i fucked?

I did a fair x86_64 vs ARM comparison benchmarking a real world activity such as compressing a 4K blu-ray movie mux with x265. The Apple M4 Pro uses about 35% less energy than the Ryzen AI MAX 390 for this task. I expected 50% less but 35% is still impressive IMHO. You would still have to burn through a battery charge cycle to compress a single 4K movie with x265 but it's still nice to see that laptops aren't limited to thin client activities anymore. On a side note I'm not sure why people are talking about x86 so much, that obsolete slop was abandoned decades ago. We're on x86_64 now, how is this not common knowledge?
>>107845811I'm happy to see arm doing well, but why the fuck do people keep using this benchmark? there aren't a lot of people out there compressing bluray discs. do a browser benchmark. everyone uses a web browser.
>>107846415Browser benchmarks use hardware acceleration so it doesn't really measure CPU performance.
>>107846490you can disable that. i'm open to other tests, but encoding a bluray is 'real world' but not 'common task'.
>>107846586Blender maybe but AMD kinda "cheats" with full 512-bit vector length AVX in that.
Dam, so you still need a fucking threadripper to encode 4K video?

>Steven Bartlett, the founder and host of The Diary of a CEO podcast, took a chance on an applicant with a virtually blank CV for that very reason.>“I hired someone who’s CV was two lines. Their experience was zero,” Bartlett explained in a recent LinkedIn post. “Much of the reason why I gave her the job was because: She thanked the security guard by name on the way into the building.”>“When she didn’t know something, in the interview she said ‘I don’t know that yet, but here’s how I’d figure it out,’” Bartlett explained. “After the interview she went and self-taught herself the answer she didn’t know, and emailed it to me within hours.”>The founder took a chance on the experience-less candidate, and it didn’t take long to pay off; Bartlett said that six months later, she has proved herself as one of the best hires he’s ever made. “Fifteen years of hiring has taught me that culture fit and character is MUCH harder to hire than experience, skills or education.” https://fortune.com/2026/01/08/diary-of-a-ceo-founder-steven-bartlett-hired-someone-zero-work-experience-thanked-security-guard-before-interview/

Linux is starting to "just werk" more than windows. The OOB experience of windows is awful these days.
>>107847486>Linux is starting to "just werk" more than windows.It has been like that at least since 2010 (ubuntu before going retarded, mint afterward).The problem are the retards trying to do and run exactly the same software as windows that obviously doesn't work properly. For games steam did a lot to improve proton-wine but for some reason they keep breaking their own software (things like Armed Assault stops working for months after an update).
>>107847486Ubuntu has "just worked" better than Windows since its first release in 2004. Now Ubuntu is starting to get dumbed down and lose features. I used Pop! OS for a while and might switch back.
>>107847486they changed too much things around and added more clicks to everything installing debian from minimal and setting it up felt quicker to me
>>107847504I've installed ubuntu on literally thousands of machines over the last 10 years. I have never once seen it crash on an install. The only time I've ever had an install fail, it was because a fucking power outage happened during the install, and the moron had his office computer plugged into the wall outlet instead of the UPS we supplied for him.
