  • Edit: You're making a false dichotomy out of this, seemingly out of bad faith.

    Your analogy is broken in just about every way imaginable as treating the symptoms is often done in conjunction with treating the disease.

    Why? Often treating the symptoms is a life-saving measure in the short-term while treating the disease is a long-term solution. Done simultaneously. In cases where symptoms are not life-threatening it is still treated for comfort and ability to function.

    Both have to happen simultaneously.

    If all you do is sit back and try and fight the big problem and you don't tackle the little problems eating away at the fabric under you. Eventually there won't be any more fabric to stand on to fight the big problem.

    What a weird way to spell back.

    The fact that live kidnappings and abductions are met with so little resistance is terrifying.

  • Who cares about time complexity

    Jump

  • Still linear time at least, could always be much MUCH worse

  • removed a homeplug

    Jump

  • But I wasn't facility. I was a student.

    The dorm itself did not have internet and had no plans of running ethernet or providing internet to students.

    I got internet through a wireless access point, positioned very carefully in window for a WISP. And they distributed that to rooms near me.

  • removed a homeplug

    Jump

  • It's old magic too and in a pinch it works reasonably well.

    We use this as a networking option for an old dorm I was in which didn't have ethernet and the concrete walls between rooms made Wi-Fi unusable.

    Blocks of rooms were not separated on different circuits which made this possible

  • New Jetbrains Update Dropped

  • TIL.

    Is this redundant with DNSBL?

  • Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar?

  • Most obtuse comment thus far.

  • Object Notation

    Jump

  • Honestly, the people that shit on C# as a Microsoft product are just as bad as the Microsoft Fanboys. It's an asinine position.

    Point at the objective reasons to use it such as first party frameworks, being incredibly stable and having some of the best devex and performance in the ecosystem. There are many reasons to use this, especially for large performance orientated, cross platform, long term stable applications.

    It's a FOSS language anyways, the majority contributions aren't even from Microsoft employees, seeing crazy high levels of community contributions.... Its also supported by a legally separate entity from Microsoft themselves.

  • Yes, typescript is my favorite language. There's literally no other language out there that is as expressive and has as strong of a type system as typescript. It is the master of making impossible states unrepresentable through meta programming. Being able to move domain complexity into the type system instead of into the runtime is some of the best ways you can reduce your runtime complexity and defects.

    Though .net is my favorite ecosystem, by far. It's first party frameworks are unmatched in performance and developer experience. And its ecosystem is incredibly stable, unlike JavaScript. C# Is unfortunately a much less capable language from a type perspective than typescript though.

    If C# got discriminated unions and strings as first class type citizens that would launch it pretty far.

  • I mean yeah you can do anything with it like most other languages. The problem comes in with the unstable ecosystem JavaScript has.

    You simply don't have longevity with libraries and frameworks. They churn and become deprecated far too quickly for really any stable project that requires a low maintenance burden.

  • Head of the Signal app threatens to withdraw from Europe

  • Encryption isn't magically broken because a legislature says it is.

    They have to apply teeth to a market they control. Not everything is within their control. Though, signal is.

  • master vs main

    Jump

  • I mean....

    Yeah, depending on the word, it can invoke specific feelings. Words don't end to have that effect...

  • What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur?

    Jump

  • This essentially sums up cutting education and ramping propaganda.

  • The Programmer Compass

    Jump

  • I was about to say C# seems to be in a weird spot here.

    It's entirely FOSS. It does of course have corporate daddy providing dev resources for it but it definitely is not anywhere near the location for proprietary as Java.

    It should be well and truly on the same side of this graph as Rust.

  • If you are in the US, and a karen threatens to call ICE on you, what's the best course of action?

    Jump

  • This..... Doesn't work at all here.

    Generally, you're long past this point.

  • 4 out of 5 developers

    Jump

  • This is how you get thousands of defects at worst and multiple engineers time worth of tech debt at best.

    We have a mantra that "If it's good enough to merge, it's good enough for production". With the intention of automatic production deployment sometime in the future.

    That's has helped us improve quality, a lot.

  • How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ?

    Jump

  • Your link doesn't address my assertion?

    Better sex ed reduces teen births. I'm not refuting that or even referring to that.

    I mean, kinda does. The grand majority of people are largely unfamiliar and uncomfortable with sex or sex-adjacent play as a casual thing.

    Emphasis mine. It does prevent ^* us from having sex, just at a more abstract level. Only a subset of society is comfortable with sex and sex adjacent activities as a form of casual play.

    ^* Prevent, not stop. Words are important....
