And they say romance is dead

Pacsun was a more preppy style, more popular with the cool kids

Lol emacs is the opposite direction of where I want to go. I used to be a vim user and had all my plugins and configs in there until I realized that I was spending more time configuring vim than I was actually coding, so I stopped trying so hard and just moved to Visual Studio and VSCode

CLion is alright, but I don’t like jetbrains UX design. I also prefer MSBuild and solution files over makefiles or cmake. Would be nice for an IDE that was all inclusive like Visual Studio is

They were very cool, but people who shopped at hot topic were bullied relentlessly

Not him but I use Windows for C++ and C# development, and I use Linux for coding work stuff (mostly javascript). Have yet to find a good, free IDE for C++ development on Linux that compares to Visual Studio

“Both alike in dignity” lol hot topic was not a very cool place to shop in 2005

Yeah it’s never really an issue for me. I just make sure to bring my charger with me if I’m out somewhere with my laptop. Most computing is done on my desktop though, I don’t use a laptop very much

I’m on x86_64 and I think I probably will be until I die because I don’t see the point of switching

Same, I use it to put me down research paths. I don’t take anything it tells me at face value, but often it will introduce me to ideas in a particular field which I can then independently research by looking up on kagi.

Instead of saying “write me some code which will generate a series of caverns in a videogame”, I ask “what are 5 common procedural level generation algorithms, and give me a brief synopsis of them”, then I can take each one of those and look them up

It appears to me that we actively made the problem worse by removing shelter options from the market. It seems like you USED to be able to pay a small fee to sleep somewhere with a roof over your head, and now your only options are $1800/mo in rent, or sleeping on the street.

No, I fail to see how the image shows a failure of capitalism. I think the lack of affordable options today is a failure of our own fucked up form of government

I believe that hiring is down but I have yet to see any evidence that it’s due to AI adoption. This is a narrative pushed by the media because they REALLY REALLY want it to be true. I consider interest rates to be a more likely culprit. The source you posted is an AI VC fund, they squeal with glee at the idea of people becoming economically displaced

Bullshit, I don’t believe it

As compared to today, where we humanely let homeless people sleep under bridges instead

Gimp = green is my pepper

I have yet to see any evidence that AI is displacing tech workers. The articles which claim this always correlate the release of AI to layoffs in the tech market without looking Amy deeper. The more likely culprits I’ve heard are overhiring during the pandemic and less deficit spending due to high interest rates. AI is straight up not capable of replacing a software engineer yet

Quesadilla 🤌

You think we should bring back dumbphones because it will help us use social media less

I think we should bring back dumbphones because it would make the devices more interesting and creative

I am become the Joker

Serious question: What do you use a 10GbE adapter for? Are there ISPs which offer 10gigabit bandwidth? I suppose it would be useful on a LAN

edit:

America has one of the largest Spanish speaking populations in the world, so in future web applications I will use the American flag to indicate Spanish, for the lulz
