worthy lintel
but after using vscode i dont miss running a jvm ide
native berry
also have vim mode so its ok
jvm is the best part about java tbh
not so much in the context of ide but ...
worthy lintel
sure but its also bloated as fuck and the font rendering sucks on windows
i used to use phpstorm on my macbook when i used to work with php
now i use datagrip as my db explorer and its slow and ugly
always enjoy shitting on microsoft but gotta give credit where its due, theyve done some top tier optimization of electron in vscode
native berry
i was unable to get a decent support java running in neovim even after 2h so installing idea was faster not like i am going to use java in my private life
dude i have vastly overestimated my java knowledge, struggling more with java than the assignment 
still one month left till the last exam
idea carrying hard atm
assignment due on monday
well after the exam till the next semester begins ...
so not a lot
kinda sucks but cant rly do anything so its whatever
i may not take the last exam not completely sure yet depends on how much time i have left to prepare after i have finished all the other exam prepareation/assignments
would be the same for me
its the people you are with who do the most for your motivation
the assignment sucks they gave us interviews with the product owner and some documents and now we are supposed to implement that shit
should have gone to vacation with them 
but aespa concert soon
tbh idk when, but soon
maybe they run into the biggest celebrity there is
waffle
i cant by chance in java inherit and implement an interface at the same time can I?
would be surprised if it would be possible
google time
I can java you are more capable than I imagined you to be
sick storm
i tried to use intellij once for a kotlin project and it's so fucking slow
native berry
for now its running fine
sick storm
i hope i never have to touch java again
native berry
with some luck this will be the last time for me also
so I will have to use it again ...
sick storm
java be like
native berry
the horrible thing is i briefly considered a 3 layer inheritance ...
sick storm
what java does to a man..
sick storm
yeah case in point i just saw this in the work chat
native berry
dude, I have the feeling they dont even know what they are asking for in the assignment asked 2 different people and so far I got 2 different answers
native berry
the prof directly isnt available and i got the two different answers from the ones responsible for the exam
native berry
i will just use the interpretation that will lead to the easier implementation and hope that will work out
hot pawn
usually when that happens you have to complain to the faculty about it and try to get the marks scaled afterwards
sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt
native berry
yh, happens a lot unfortunately but usually you at least get a clear answer on what is right after you ask
native berry
usually when that happens you have to complain to the faculty about it and try t...
they make that practically impossible i would be careful with that
happens sometimes you only see one interpretation even if multiple exists
natural lang things
native berry
java streams can go fuck themselves
worthy lintel
tailwind solves this
sick storm
mostly yes
it won't solve the strange interactions with different css properties though
worthy lintel
jesus christ
native berry
i tried to use intellij once for a kotlin project and it's so fucking slow
the slowdown is hitting now
sick storm
We have a new senior dev who started some time ago and he supposedly has 20+ years of experience but has trouble with something as basic as creating ssh keys... and his code is extremely messy
i have to help him constantly
native berry
maybe give him some perl to write and he will do better 
I hope your position is at least senior as well then
worthy lintel
sounds like a couple people i used to work with
10-15 years exp and im having to rewrite everything they do cause their code sucks
sick storm
LOL
sick storm
💀
raven mist
so true bestie
waxen arrow
Love this guy
sick storm
well then
native berry
worthy lintel
bun 1.0 comes out today 
native berry
I write my last exam in 2 weeks ...
unfortunately for us the exams are always at the end of the semester not the beginning so its always a bulk, having the post exam at the beginning of the semester would be such a blessing
also fine as long as it isnt at the end
beginning would still be best though
do you know how the post exams are created for you university? for us its mostly orientated on the main exam which can make it easier to study for it
hot pawn
what is a post exam?
native berry
some courses are only offered during the winter or sommer semester and if you dont write that semester you can take it in the next semester (if you have the requirements) but you cant visit the accompanying course so you have to study on your own
hot pawn
oh interesting
native berry
since you dont have the accompanying course they usually recommend to not take post exams at all or wait 1 year
hot pawn
my uni just had fixed semesters
native berry
my uni just had fixed semesters
what does that mean? fixed semesters
hot pawn
like the modules can only be in the first semester
and if you dont take it you dont take it
native berry
I did before and I probably will in the future, I do think i will postpone less exams the more I am used to university but yh ...
or failed the first one
hot pawn
i dont think you can voluntarily do that here unless you have an illness or somthing
native berry
but you cant fail a third time :pepecelebrate:
not all exams have post exams though sometimes you have to wait one year, also you usually have to get qualification to do the exam during the course if you dont get it you cant write the exam
same for us, you can even cancel it while you are sitting in the lecture hall
have to hold myself back every time from doing it lol
hot pawn
yeah its a good thing thats not an option here
native berry
you also study comp sci?
hot pawn
i only convinced myself to study cause the exams were looming over me
hot pawn
you also study comp sci?
i graduated earlier this year
native berry
m2 but then it sometimes is too late depending on how much time you have between exams
hot pawn
you can do it
the real question is whether its worth it
cause i did a lot of engineering and networking stuff at uni
native berry
yh, thats a good question 
hot pawn
so if i end up doing webdev it was just a massive waste of time
native berry
might come with a higher entry salary, but yh else its a waste of time
worthy lintel
learn javascript
native berry
dont rly like the whole thing with at least bachelor is required for position x, just doesnt seem reasonable even if I make my master my programming skills wont hold up to anyone who just learned on their own (in a reasonable effective manner) for 2 years
university isnt orientated for the practical aspect
native berry
and 2 year is probably being optimistic, most people could do it in less ...
sick storm
university isnt orientated for the practical aspect
no it really isn't
it's just theory you can apply later somehow
but you're still basically starting from square one when you get a job
or square zero i should say
native berry
even applying the theory isnt something that you can just do, if I dont learn theory while applying it into practice for the most time I have forgotten it after the exam.
also its hard to apply a lot of rules or theories without the experience behind it for example software engineering design x would be better than design y in aspect m but design y would be better in design n, what do you choose? well idk i dont have the experience to tell you
to be fair knowing the theory and then collecting the experience isnt a bad method, its just that learning the theory while you are also getting the practice in is more effective
sick storm
this is all very true
you only appreciate the theory when you run into a problem you can solve with it
but then you've probably forgotten about it already
native berry
also applying the theory is a separate skill in its own right
thats why I would like to participate in the hacktoberfest this year, lets hope this works out
native berry
sick storm
feel free to make pull requests to miso bot 
I'll have to add it to be eligible for this
native berry
python right?
sick storm
yeah
raven mist
feel free to make pull requests to miso bot <:pepeBusiness:855121464281530428>
what features you need
can i make it so that everytime i fish i have a 50% chance of getting a legendary fish but i also have a 50% chance of losing the same amount. if haseul posted something to ig that day the ratio is 51-49. thoughts?
also, you have a minecraft server status feature?
sick storm
indeed
sick storm
what features you need
I mean if I had something in mind I would have done it myself
or actually
worthy lintel
add a chatgpt integration that makes ascii out of any prompt

native berry
once I read async my heart stops
sick storm
oof
raven mist
oof
i guess adding a fishy_streak in the db and just making it so you set fishy_streak to 0 if you havent made a fishy in the last 24-36 hours would work?
i havent done discord stuff in python
i wanna give it a try
ah fuck but then you would need a fishy streak leaderboard both in the server and globally
and then people would want a streak for each type of fish
but oh right streaks can also be between two people
shit
if its a gift
native berry
oh db stuff that I also dont know
sick storm
hahaha
sick storm
maybe you can fix a typo or something..
raven mist
maybe you can fix a typo or something..
worthy lintel
i hate nextjs so fucking much
why does vercel make the simplest of things like persisting data across different server contexts so difficult
in sveltekit its as simple as setting something into the locals property
native berry
https://firstissue.dev/language/
none of those look like good first issues for me 
sick storm
native berry
java
raven mist
@sick storm do you want fishy streaks to only be between people or yourself too?
im thinking only between people (easier)
raven mist
you're actually working on it?
just looking into it
a little
never really worked on something that isnt mine
i can push up my idea i have for now
ah i cant
💀
no clue how to work with github
Do i need to open an issue first maybe?
waxen arrow
you could try to make a fork to get a copy for yourself to work on separate from the original miso bot
afterwards u can do a pull req after pushing to your fork's main branch and use rebase or merge or something idk (i didnt work with this part specifically)
i think, thats how i did it with group mates for projects
hot pawn
sick storm
waxen arrow
How do u check for comments on a pull request? My prof said that he made some on the pull req for some feedback but I can't seem to find any in any of the tabs 😭
sick storm
they should just be there
waxen arrow
hmm so he didnt make any then 🙁
sick storm
waxen arrow
yeah its at 0 rn
and no comments on any of the lines in the "files changed" tab either
raven mist
when youre forced to write changelogs but you dont wanna be too descriptive
sick storm
play store change logs be like
raven mist
so true
raven mist

one of my companies products were in one of these presentations 💀
oopsie
not this on in particular but another one at defcon
sick storm
💀
sick storm
native berry
just saw this to get an additional condition in rusts if let
if let (Some(a), true) = (b, c == d) {
// do something
}
if I have opened a pull request but I noticed that I fucked my whitespaces (i ran the formatter but there is a newline where compared to the other functions shouldnt be one) should I do another commit then or just let it be? doing a commit with just "newline removed" seems a bit excessive?
hot pawn
if its a pr you/they can just sort that out in the merge
native berry
ok so I will let it be, already did a commit just before that with "add comment describing helper function" 💀
thanks death
sick storm
rebase squash commits and force push
native berry
i think they will hate me if I force push
sick storm
i mean force push to your own fork/branch
so it will overwrite your old commit with the new fixed one
native berry
ok thanks, I will look into git again
sick storm
this is how we do it at work
native berry
i need a full course just on git bc i am an git
sick storm
when pr is ready it gets squashed into one or two commits that make sense and then rebased to master
so you don't get 20 commits of "fixed bug" after review
native berry
so you don't get 20 commits of "fixed bug" after review
thats pretty much what my current pr looks like
will fix it, thanks join
sick storm
LOL
it takes a while to understand the rebase commands, they're not exactly intuitive
native berry
git as a whole is not exactly intuitive
so far I managed to avoid learning git by deleting the repo and starting again
shell garnetBOT
git: 'as' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
native berry
easier than trying to figure out git ...
waxen arrow
😭
native berry
pls tell me you are doing that too phan?
native berry
guess I am the only git here then
native berry
doing what
deleting the repo and starting again
native berry
thanks I will give it another try
hot pawn
this is why ides are great
dont need to learn git
just click on buttons
i did learn git anyway tho
eclipse does not run good on a raspberry pi
sick storm
you really need to know how to use the commandline git you can't be relying on some ide gui
what if you have to do some git magic through ssh, or on a headless server
happens all the time
native berry
ok I fucked up again but I managed to get back to what it was before now with only 3 commits more
native berry
all squashed now, thank y'all again
git rebase was a good keyword
sick storm
👍
native berry
I didnt pass a check in the CI/CD pipeline that check however was failed due to code unrelated to mine (and its just a lint anyway) in that case I ignore it, rather than fixing it right?
worthy lintel
what do you mean code unrelated to yours
if it was passing beforehand then it cant be unrelated to your changes
native berry
different file I havent touched
worthy lintel
you dont need to touch the file to break something it depends on
worthy lintel
ngl i dont know rust so i have no idea what im looking at
native berry
lint suggestion, just different syntax for the same expression
worthy lintel
but at my work if the checks were passing before i started my work, then the checks break in my PR even if i didnt touch the related code, its still on me to fix it
since its my PR
native berry
ok thanks, then I will just ask
but I didnt want to bother them too much I have already given them enough trouble
worthy lintel
if youre a junior then its expected that you'll be asking questions that you might perceive as dumb
assuming your seniors arent assholes anyway
sick storm
^
native berry
assuming your seniors arent assholes anyway
is just some random project on github so I didnt want to pester them too much in their free time, but they were all nice so far
extremely so
worthy lintel
in that case you just have to feel it out
most oss projects will be super happy to accept PRs but at the same time not all can dedicate time to helping new people
native berry
yes I understand that especially so since I am extra work and all of them are much more competent and could probably do the same I did in <5min
worthy lintel
well when you put it like that, i guess lol
its just that some oss maintainers can be real assholes about PRs
native berry
linus
worthy lintel
cause there isnt really a line between oss project open for community contributions, and project made by someone that happens to be oss
personally all my oss stuff leans on the latter side
but i try to accomodate PRs when they come in once in a blue moon
native berry
since the scope of the project is a rust rewrite of the gnu coreutils I think its the first one in this case
thanks kairu
sick storm
idk how you could break the check if you didnt event touch it
worthy lintel
inferred types being imported from elsewhere? idk rust
native berry
idk how you could break the check if you didnt event touch it
if I look into the github repo I can see it, so maybe a case of its just a lint and not important and we will do it later?
worthy lintel
i suppose i could post this here now it's in a decent state https://github.com/teamreflex/cosmo-web
join can laugh at my horrific react code
sick storm
i mean that's a lot more impressive than anything i've made with react
worthy lintel
the react way of doing things just gives me the shits more often than not
compared to vue or svelte
nextjs RSCs even more so, so many little edge cases just cant be handled properly
native berry
I should not apply the lint suggestion btw bc it is fixed in another pr

but yea coming along
native berry
native berry
btw if someone wants to learn rust I found https://rust-unofficial.github.io/too-many-lists/index.html to be more useful to me so far rather than the official rust book (assuming you already know how to program), that being said I am not that far in the book yet so its just a first impression
hot pawn
that how i learn rust, its pretty good
the rust book is still worth reading
its like the dragon book
only read it if you actually need to read it, not just cause people say to
native berry
that how i learn rust, its pretty good
yeah so far I have the impression it focuses more on the memory management part which I prefer, I am sure the rust book also teaches that but likely at a later point and I dont want to work myself through the control flow chapter and so first ...
and the memory management part is what makes rust unique in my impression
hot pawn
i was pretty familiar with c/cpp though so it was probably more easy to understand
youre still new to cpp right
should be fine as long as youve done algorithms and data structures
native berry
I think you are confusing me with leroy I have a C background, although its been long since I actually programmed
hot pawn
ah ok
native berry
and I never got too far so I am trying to get back into it
so saying i have a C background is kinda weird but r/technicalllythetruth ig
worthy lintel
i dont understand mobile app development
i know for a fact that the cosmo ios app uses react native
because ive gotten a js engine crash before
yet the android app doesnt, it seems to just use java/kotlin
sick storm
kotlin apps are so much faster
just look at discord, the old discord app was great but ever since they moved the android app to react native it's laggy as hell
worthy lintel
is that an android problem?
i just find it strange that you'd use RN for ios but not android
the whole point of RN is crossplatform
sick storm
i dont know if it's androd problem or react problem but it's just bad
worthy lintel
can't say ive had perf issues with discord on my phone, or any other RN apps like meta's
but then again i have a 14 promax so id hope it can run some js
the x86 binaries dont work in the android studio simulator either so i cant use frida to figure out wtf its hashing for gravity vote calldata
oh well
native berry
found the rust feature I was looking for AsRef makes struct composition so much less painful, i love this lang

developing a site :D
having to design it first 
i may be a front-end dev but god i cannot pin down a design for the life of me
native berry
thats why I wont try anything beyond cli
also my skill level is too low for now
worthy lintel
tailwind solves everything
sick storm
not really you still have to design the visuals to apply the tailwind classes you need for it
worthy lintel
tailwind is the way
raven mist

is it possible to --amend a pull request?
idk
worthy lintel
dont do that
raven mist
you can see the changes for every patch tho in gerrit
i usually only amend WIP stuff
thats how i got instructed at work, to not clutter the git history when making changes for like whitespace/spelling errors on comment etc
raven mist
you squash the pr when merging it
im not sure if thats a thing in gerrit
we do that in github tho
squash and merge
worthy lintel
damn that looks like ass
raven mist
but i agree with you, squash and merge for pr
worthy lintel
i kinda want to try linear but i think its paid
worthy lintel
either way githubs tools have come a long way
using gitlab is a nightmare in comparison
worthy lintel
microsoft platform (github)
microsoft ide (vscode)
microsoft lang (typescript)
raven mist
using gitlab is a nightmare in comparison
didnt they change their pricing or something
i think thats why they swithced
or its not free to use commercially anymore or something imnot sure
worthy lintel
gitlab or hub
raven mist
gitlab
worthy lintel
not sure tbh, we were using a self hosted version
worthy lintel
its project planning tools are abysmal in comparison to github so we swapped earlier in the year
native berry
I squashed it btw there was no code review yet, so I dont think a lot of context is lost
worthy lintel
i hate restarting my pc after not doing so for two weeks
theres always another app thats decided to update and change its design

bonus points for blocking ctrl v so i have to manually type it out from my pwd manager
worthy lintel
it happens a lot surprisingly
lean river
Every bank site asked me for at least one special character
- government sites
I hate to hold shift to key in my password because of that
or else they won't allow me to sign up
worthy lintel
more often than not its older systems like banks that are like this
lean river
I hate special characters in my password
I already have 2FA why I need to also add a character that I have to hold shift?
worthy lintel
you shouldnt be manually typing in passwords anyway
lean river
Well fair
But since muscle memory is a thing
I'd just speed log in to site with my many combinations of words I memorized in my head
My fingers do the logging in, not my brain
sick storm
ngl i have yet to find a site that doesnt accept these
waxen arrow
should I take compilers or computer graphics for next semester? im pretty even on both buti cant decide
not really in a specialty area either
sick storm
graphics sounds more interesting
native berry
compiler sounds more interesting
if the interest in both is the same and the ECTS is the same also take what is easier for you
hot pawn
also check if theyre prerequesits for anything else you want to do later
waxen arrow
nah theyre all senior lvl electives for my degree
i have about 3 semesters left of all senior lvl courses so theyre the last ones i need to take
waxen arrow
theyre both on same day, but compilers gives me a big 6 hour gap from my prev class on the same day while graphics only has a 1.5 hour break
sick storm
deft shadow
native berry
it very much is
thankfully thats all provided for us I dont have to do more than writing make
arctic lava
controversial. but c++ is stupid
macros and metaprogramming? delusions thought up by crazy people
worthy lintel
probably why rust is getting popular
weak marsh
controversial. but c++ is stupid
C++ is a monster we created, sure it can destroy anything when it comes to performance, but anything includes itself and whoever wrote the code as well
macros and metaprogramming are the outcome of the obsession with performance, it makes snese when you need it. There's even worse things like code gen for C++ but we don't talk about that
rust is no better when it comes to niche constructs that just look something out of a horror movie
weak marsh
rust syntax is one of the ugliest to me
idk obj-c to comare to it, but given it's from Apple
have no hopes
I like to write in Go
it feels good
worthy lintel
swift looks good so i give apple credit there
but objc yeah no never again
i tried to get into go but it feels weird
probably just didnt give it enough time, especially coming from ts/js
weak marsh
if you use python or js for something and hate the fact that performance is dogwater or that you need to deploy a container with deps, Go is the way
worthy lintel
if i need better performance i run it with bun first
idm docker at this point either
weak marsh
i get to build a static binary that includes entire dependency tree, and cross compiles to even MIPS and PowerPC
I heard about bun but doubt it's anywhere close to what Go or stically typed languages can do
worthy lintel
nah probably not but when you're moving from node
on anything it actually boosts perf in, itll usually land you in the "good enough" zone
weak marsh
i see
native berry
rust syntax is one of the ugliest to me
rust tries to be expressive at all cost which leads to less expressiveness over the same amount as characters compared to other languages. which results in greater safety overall so I think its a reasonable decision
but the syntax is still in the C family so most people are familiar with it.
native berry
macros and metaprogramming are the outcome of the obsession with performance, it...
do you mean runtime performance or programmer performance?
native berry
rust is no better when it comes to niche constructs that just look something out...
have yet to come across a rust construct which I think is unjustified, but tbh I didnt spend a lot of time in rust yet and
Box<dyn Trait>
for example did take some time getting used to
weak marsh
rust tries to be expressive at all cost which leads to less expressiveness over ...
you mean rust is expressive thus it's less expressive?
mostly don't really get spamming ' (not that expressive imo, could've just made it explicit or something)
native berry
rust tries to maximize expressiveness as a total not as a relative expressiveness/number_of_chars
two different goals for different purposes, but you should always choose one of the two
go from what I have seen heavily leans into the relative
weak marsh
do you mean runtime performance or programmer performance?
both, but mostly I've seen is extensively used for (and personally used for) optimized code where I don't want to depend on compiler optimizations. Also for multiplatform code etc but that's seriously annoying
native berry
have yet to really use macros, besides the #define style which arent that powerful
weak marsh
have yet to come across a rust construct which I think is unjustified, but tbh I...
i've seen some code with bunch of macros with #[something::something] reminds me of java and python magic things
native berry
oh yeah those are awesome
weak marsh
have yet to really use macros, besides the #define style which arent that powerf...
you can do a lot with #define stuff. look at glibc. It's also one of the worst ways macro ruin readability
native berry
ik, but if you do anything more than simple stuff it just ends up horrible
thats the real black magic shit
weak marsh
it's not black magic, it's just hard to trace
you have conditional includes and API stubs when you support multiple underlaying paltform drivers as one calls it
worthy lintel
i've seen some code with bunch of macros with `#[something::something]` reminds ...
those are annotations arent they
native berry
it's not black magic, it's just hard to trace
you are telling me thats not the same?
worthy lintel
php took the rust syntax for those
weak marsh
you have a macro defined in 10 different files, your final compiled code may use one of them depending on your target paltform
native berry
those are annotations arent they
attributes they are pretty awesome, and widely used for example
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Debug)]
struct Point {
x: i32,
y: i32,
}
and now you can serialize, deserialize your struct into json
weak marsh
it's a good thing but there's no easy way to know which of 10 macros it used
worthy lintel
yeah when php 8 came out i made some atrributes for registering routes within the laravel container
instead of defining routes in routes.php
was really nice
weak marsh
attributes they are pretty awesome, and widely used for example
```Rust
#[derive...
how and who and what is derive ?
that looks like macros on steroids
native berry
derive is a macro yes
i have yet to look into the rust macro system havent gotten that far, but also for example Debug is just convenient it implements a non pretty printed toString function for you
still trying to find the one macro which linus torvalds responded to
I still dont understand that one
weak marsh
i just have hard time understanding these magic decorators, just hard to trace where and what are they implemented
worthy lintel
its always a tradeoff between dx and maintainability
php traits suffer from the same thing
weak marsh
https://yarchive.net/comp/linux/empty_statement_macro.html this one? i googled and this showed up
native berry
dont have that impression tbh, but I have also seen it before in haskell
weak marsh
what do you use haskell for?
native berry
and they just allow me to write a lot less annoying repetitive code, which should be the primary goal of macros
native berry
what do you use haskell for?
nothing I just learned it to better understand functional
weak marsh
ah nice
native berry
wrote a small parser with it and nothing more
weak marsh
nice
i heard it's fast and robust
people use it for data sciencys stuff
also Clojure and Scala
native berry
havent heard about clojure in that context yet
native berry
nothing I just learned it to better understand functional
also I will have to learn it for uni eventually
worthy lintel
yeah i was gonna say you might like elixir if you did haskell
native berry
i took a short look at elixir, bc my friend was learning elixir at the time but never rly learned it
worthy lintel
its really good for fault tolerant stuff and scaling
native berry
doesnt matter anyway, I have to get more programming practice and not learn another lang
we are doing some interesting stuff at the uni atm which I would love to understand more and do smth with it in practice but I dont have the time
at least some of the assignments are still practical orientated and interesting

the only thing ik about ada is that my software engineering prof loves it

the only thing ik about ada is that my software engineering prof loves it
your prof is old and traumatized and probably work(ed) for mainframe finance or defense
worthy lintel
high scalablility is one of its selling points
weak marsh
more like lock free stuff
native berry
and it also builds on erlang vm so it can have a bit of a jump start?
worthy lintel
its built on top of erlang yeah
native berry
your prof is old and traumatized and probably work(ed) for mainframe finance or ...
no they have their own firm and are often contracted for self driving car stuff
which is also the reason we had to do the boring stuff connected to the financial aspect of software development
worthy lintel
which is also the reason we had to do the boring stuff connected to the financia...
like?
native berry
cost estimation, risk assessment, how to pick customers, and also a bit of general knowledge of contracts
the first two were relevant for the exam, the rest was just thrown into the lectures as anecdotes

cost estimation, risk assessment, how to pick customers, and also a bit of gener...
that sounds interesting
worthy lintel
a lot of it, at least what i had to do, was very much common sense stuff
but still had to do the course so the company has their ass covered
native berry
they had a lot of industry knowledge, so ig that made it kinda interesting
i was so confused when you started talking about elixir in the guitar context for the first time
worthy lintel
i used to use irccloud when they first started and its all built in erlang
tried learning it and it was a huge no for me
weak marsh
i'll most likely ask chatgpt to convert my C++ to elixir and hope it doesn't blow up in customer's face
sick storm
yeah good luck with that

I want a crossover between zig rust and kotlin where we take the best from each and have a language that feels good to use in every aspect, zig comptime (con: feels verbose), rust ownership and borrowing (con: macros), and kotlin simplicity (con: gc)
carbon looks cool, but skeptical
worthy lintel
arctic lava
i don't think thats the case when it comes to programming
really its just some programming languages do some things really well but absolutely suck at something really important, and it would be nice to have a language that feels good at nearly everything without having a "thing" that sucks to use
worthy lintel
the problem with that is that people all have different opinions on what feels good
arctic lava
you ask people what they want before cars and they say faster horses
people didn't know that borrow checking in rust might be a good thing
worthy lintel
ive heard a lot of good things about zig but i havent really looked into it
mostly just from the bun team
native berry
I want a crossover between zig rust and kotlin where we take the best from each ...
what do you have against macros?
without macros I wouldnt use rust
also heard some interesting things about zig but the library support is even worse than in rust
worthy lintel
iirc it has c interop
native berry
not sure if thats good enough to make me happy
arctic lava
comptime is just 1 keyword and doesn't require you to learn anything extra
you can do the same thing but you have to learn less
native berry
ok comptime does look interesting
not sure if it is as powerful as macros though and it rly depends on the macro system you are talking about
if you take a look at lisp macros then it will fall short for sure by the nature of it being executed at well comptime
native berry
and lisp macros are of a completely different nature
as you might know lisp code looks like this
(do ((i 0 (1+ i)))
((>= i 10))
(print i))
its all lists which is also, unsurprisingly, a data structure (thats called homoiconicity) what lisp macros allows you is to build code at runtime and that works quite well because all you have to do is to manipulate lists.
https://gigamonkeys.com/book/ is a nice introduction to lisp imo
arctic lava
so lisp macros are used at both compile and runtime?
native berry
only runtime iirc
they are universally known as horrible since they are powerful enough as that you end up with multiple dsl across a project which ends in poor readability
but comparisons are difficult anyway lisp macros and comptime have different goals set

@arctic lava did you only use zig so far or also rust? would like to know about your experience of the differences

i like rust safety, not a big fan of the syntax, zig is simpler but somewhat more verbose, but less safe, more control, (still better than C)

do you sum all the colors of a game up?

then you want something else you dont want the sum but the max of the color for each game for the fiter, if I understand day 2 part 1 correctly
worthy lintel
youre meant to get the games/rows that have less than 12 red, 13 green and 14 blue
so getting the sum of each color in each row then checking if that sum is less than or equal to the expected
should accomplish what it asks?

Anyone ever replace a GPU fan
Not a single fan but the whole cooler yes
woeful ridge
mines just making a grinding-ish sound
nothings hitting it and i blasted it with air so idk
its only a year old though idk
sleek solstice
Is it possible to take the plastic part of the gpu apart, leaving the cooler and ziptying 120mm fans on? Kinda janky, but personally I can't stand small gpu fans going 3000 rpm
hot pawn
the plastic part is usually for directing air through the heatsink
zipties would work for quick temp spikes, but under a sustained load it would be less effective
sleek solstice
I don't think it matters much if you get the fans close enough, the difference in the amount of volume 120mm fans move air vs the 80mm or so gpu fans is immense
sleek solstice
This is my current 1080 Ti for reference, the fans make it a bit chonkier
hot pawn
if it works it works
obv my thing is just in theory
i guess you could solder the wires too if you really wanted to
sleek solstice
Also upping my ram to 64 gb, sadly gotta part ways with my tridenz as I don't see a point paying double at this point for faster ddr4 anymore, I spent two weeks adjusting the memory timings on those with excel sheet open on my laptop to track whenever it would crash at what settings, just to get ~10% more out of my pc
sleek solstice
i guess you could solder the wires too if you really wanted to
Possibly, but I would say it's better to just have them on regular 4 pin pwm fan header because then you can adjust all the fans from one place and don't need a special program for just gpu fans. Also not sure how it would work going from 80mm 3000rpm fans to 120mm 1500rpm ones for example
woeful ridge
i took it apart and tried to clean out whatever i could but ultimately i just ordered a replacement
and also realized i need to buy a new screwdriver set because fuck whoever designed this
sleek solstice
Didn't even know replacement fans were a thing for gpu's, all I know is my janky solutions
woeful ridge
Yeah it was only 22 bucks, looks simple unscrew replace screw
The only issue is getting the plate on and off the heatsink because the design is so god awful
Have to play twister with a metal screwdriver
river beacon
a dedicated pry tool made of plastic is recommended
but if not that. Alternatives are any type of wedge
haha
woeful ridge
The kit that I'm buying today should have it

probably
im not used to the entire component tree rerendering just cause one piece of state changed at the top
sick storm
what do you usually use
worthy lintel
vue
i also had to use a package that hooks into nextjs' router to perform shallow routing when updating url params
previously i was having the entire page rerendering because the RSC would update
worthy lintel
well it does update the whole tree but it has a different lifecycle
vue's setup function is akin to the main body of a react function
that setup function only runs once and never again
whereas in react, your whole component runs every render
worthy lintel
these are the main things im trying to fix rn
first one is cause i have the state for the list of locked items high up in the tree and inserted down to each item via context
second is much the same in that the filter state is high up and just passed down
yeah a useEffect with empty deps array is equivalent to vue onMounted
first should be fixed by just passing in an isLocked prop to each item so it remains stable across renders, but i overengineered the component so that it can take different children depending on the context of it being used
second would probably be fixed by simplifying the component tree
sick storm
don't overengineer components
worthy lintel
honestly the worst part is that everything feels fine on my pc and my phone
worthy lintel
ok i discovered this syntax
// container.tsx
<Parent>
{({ prop }) => <Child entity={entity} />}
</Parent>
// parent.tsx
function Parent({ children }: { children: (props: ChildType) => ReactElement }) {
return listOfEntities.map(entity => cloneElement(children({ entity })), { key: entity.id });
}

Connection matched pg_hba.conf line 100: "host all all all scram-sha-256"
remade my instance without ipv6 enabled and now it doesn't happen
that user only gets used by the other container, i have another read-only user thats used for external connections, which is where i thought the bad connection was coming from
worthy lintel
ok lol its definitely not ipv6, its just a port scanning bot of some kind
password authentication failed for user "myuser"

Go is great if you want to,
- write non trivial code quickly
- write code with a bunch of 3rd party libraries and not want to manage its deployment, everything in Go compiles (except cgo stuff) to static binary with no dependency at runtime
- don't care too much about the garbage collector doing its things
- some implicit behaviors that feels very quirky like Google
Go is very easy and fast to write but it's not theoretically the best language or even close
it just does things good enough
rust takes much longer to write and to write and especially with multi threading but once it's written it works mostly safe and without the overhead
I say mostly because there's ways you can have segfaults in safe rust

i just find rust syntax absolutely revolting so i refuse to even attempt to learn it
not like i need something that high performance rn anyway
weak marsh
lol yeah fair, same tbh
learning curve for rust is way worse than C++ but again C++ is its own beast with undefined behaviors
I needed to write some TS for UI stuff, just ended up give it to someone who knew TS
it looked horrifying
worthy lintel
ts generally only gets bad when you get into type gymnastics
90% of the time that only starts when you're either writing libraries or write generic frontend components
and some frameworks make the ts frontend experience worse than others

windows 11 is riddled with webviews yeah

ok i wasnt ready for how much bigger 1440p is over 1080p
definitely need to get an arm as this stand is huge and making the monitor like 10cm too close
craggy adder
diagonal inch difference between your old vs. new monitor?
craggy adder
ah I see what you mean
craggy adder
yeah on individual icons or text it can be a huge change

a few of my colleagues at work got the LG 28MQ780 or 28MQ750 (stand difference only) which is like a 16:18 monitor, and they really seem to like it for a second monitor especially for coding.
might consider it myself since I have to type up, edit and proofread a lot of documents per day, it looks like this
worthy lintel
yeah I’ve seen some hype for 3:2 displays for programming
river beacon
600 more px horizontally doesnt sound like a lot
ye it doesn't seem so but it's much more detailed innit? It's why I've been going back and forth over getting a 1440p monitor
worthy lintel
ye it doesn't seem so but it's much more detailed innit? It's why I've been goin...
slightly higher ppi is nice yeah, its just the extra resolution thats throwing me off
and i suppose at 100% scaling text is /slightly/ smaller which i have to adjust to, had to increase me IDE font size from 14pt to 16pt so its not uncomfortably small
but all in all, worth
sick storm
is this thing actually good
worthy lintel
i see mac users love it
sick storm
that's not exactly a good sign
