  • Are you high?

    Why am I writing this post? Not because I hope for something or believe in change. These are just words. I could write this at the end, but then you would be looking for answers for me while reading, and I don’t need them. They won’t change anything.
    So here it is. I don’t claim to be a software development guru or a C language expert. I’m just a simple developer.

    What? People stopped using C because it takes forever to write. You’re still stuck adding null terminators to string arrays and stressing about memory leaks and overflows. Even the Linux kernel / Linux Torvalds are moving towards Rust. That’s evolution, and sometimes evolution is messy

    Then the rest of your thing seems to be about how people shouldn’t make money from coding? That’s one of the most valuable skills of the information age, and you can become a millionaire in a decade doing it

    Just contribute to open source if you want to do some “good deeds”

    Shout-out to the Flutter-Dart stack that Google made. Neither are outstanding, but Flutter compiles to native code for every platform including mobile and web. This is way more convenient than React Native (which funny enough doesn’t really work on web). Dart is a much saner lang than JS and the UI framework is much saner than React. Dependency management is fast and easy without NPM and webpack trash. So for my recent project I embedded a flutter app inside a static website, and can also have it run native on desktop or wherever. The only real downsides are an extra 1.5mb load for the dart runtime stuff, and some need to fiddle with platform specific issues and configs. Upside is I need neither xcode nor node

    Well configuring NeoVim is basically game development / modding. But yeah it’s built as an embedded mostly single thread thing so. I also used it for AwesomeWM many years ago, whole thing was lua. I do think it’s one of the most elegant languages ever designed, with it’s very simple table/metatable mechanics




  • I just installed Arch with Wayland and Pipewire & my Chromebook went from barely usable and laggy w/ a Linux VM in it — to running with full fps animations and somehow 3x as many chrome tabs. Also holy shit Pipewire, I didn’t know about this, but Linux has finally and conclusively fixed audio/video routing & is now best in class

    So yeah fuck ChromeOS w/ it’s shitty outdated Linux sandbox

    He’s not actually, and if you read it, he warns that assigning meaning to meaninglessness is a fallacy. People feel bad because there’s no meaning but then that’s applying meaning to it. Transcendence of meaning frees you from it entirely and leads to Buddhism, which also embraced “emptiness” at the core of reality
