I wouldn’t say so. I think Italian is closer to Latin in general. (Source: I speak Romanian and Italian)
Romanian has some influence in the language from neighboring Slavic countries, and a few German and French words.
The one thing that is closer to original Latin are noun cases like copil (child) -> copii (children) -> copiii (the children) -> copiilor (of the children/the children’s…). I’m not super familiar with Latin, but an Italian friend that studied it said this is one of the most complicated things (and there are 7 cases in Latin compared to 3 in Romanian).
I need tablet mode touchscreen, the only decent thing in Windows
I wanted to use the current Windows logo, but it’s so incredibly stupid, you wouldn’t even recognize it.
This is what happens when a $100 bn profit/year company is too cheap to hire artists:

Programming@programming.dev•I just tried vibe coding with Claude
41·2 months agoI’ve just started recently using Claude after being very unimpressed with Copilot, but my current theory is that you should treat everything it writes like a PoC that you found in some obscure github repo. Use it as a reference that you can generate quickly, take out only the good parts, adapt them to your context. It’s harder to delete code than to write it, so it’s easier to just take what you like from its output, rather than try to clean up all the nonsense it generates.
How accurate that is and how useful it is compared to just writing it from scratch varies a lot based on your particular project. You still need a good understanding of the output it produces, otherwise those subtle bugs and low quality adds up. The times it’s the most useful are when it writes a lot of stuff that I would’ve written myself, but I can point to some detail and say “that’s wrong, I’ll write it myself”.

Opensource@programming.dev•Ownership of open source flashcard app Anki transferred to for-profit AnkiHub
371·4 months agoExcuse my skepticism (it comes with experience), but after reading through AnkiHub’s PR-speak AI slop, I doubt that a company with 40 employees that already uses a monthly subscription and AI is not going to enshittify this project. Did their team contribute anything to the OSS project while they were building a for profit company on top of it?

8·9 months agoThe important thing the article is missing, is that you should always respect the prefers-reduced-motion setting. Some people just don’t like animations; either because they are distracting, or because they don’t want to waste battery/cpu on useless things (looking at you, spotify player, using 15% of my cpu for some animated bars…)

Programming@programming.dev•🚨ProPublica, a nonprofit newsroom, is looking for a remote full-time Applications Developer. You must be fluent in HTML/CSS/Javascript and have experience with data. The job offer was just published.
1·9 months agoIt’s pretty well known that nonprofit salaries are lower than the average, no? The whole non-profit thing tends to attract less investment, if any. Especially when the publication is doing a lot of research into the abuses of the rich and powerful, it’s not like they’re going to invest against their class interests.

9·10 months agoNo clue what you’re talking about honestly. I’ve worked on a 7 million line python codebase, and while python had tons of issues, whitespace was not one of them. You can easily move things around and have never seen a bug due to bad indentation.

- You manage to read something on the website before your battery drops by 30%. You try to figure out if it’s AI generated or not
- You’re hit by a paywall
