This has been my goto for personal toy projects for a while now. Trivial to slot in to basically anything that can display text and takes mouse input. I will mention, however, it's…

> The template metaprogramming C++ offers is the most powerful of any imperative language I'm curious what languages you're comparing to here. Feels like it's only slightly more ex…

The funny thing is that all the reasons you listed to use the new design... existed before in basically any 3rd party app.

I keep seeing this argument in various places on HN that usage implies a positive opinion, when it very much does not. AI has put most people in prisoner's dilemma, and in prisoner…

Those numbers sound... unrealistic to me. Just doing some napkin math: 65 $/user/month / 0.01 $/ad ~= 6500 ads/user/month, which is about an ad per minute if you assume someone is …

I described a bit of this in reply to thinkingemote, but to: > And upon graduation when they're told that it's their future they don't like it? They aren't being told it's their fu…

As a recent graduate, both headlines read as plausible and non-contradictory. Students right now are faced with two things: 1. a machine that can do the things asked of them faster…

As the article touches on, it's not just about what happened in 2020, but why it hasn't rebounded. It's been long enough we can't use 2020 as an excuse.

I made a post here a bit ago where one of the few replies I got was one of these conversational ad-bots, albeit on the more obvious side. It was getting flagged which gives me hope…

The problem is that vibe-coding, when it fails (i.e. it's non-useful, at least for a bit), is usually solved by more vibes. Try again and hope it works. Ask it to refactor and hope…

Tiling merely changes the idiosyncrasies, and I say this as someone who primarily uses them. (hyprland in my case) If you created a window right now, where will it go? Which window…

I want to know what power I have as just some guy to do anything about this? (even if just for myself) I ask because it seems like every job I apply to asks for a linkedin profile,…

I've noticed a very sudden uptick in users of FOSS software being so low trust that they will see a small change, assume it's much larger, and then retreat to some rationalization …

Searching for Great Recession posts is actually an interesting tip, I'll be taking a look into that. As for the Hytale suggestion I do find that competition interesting but I'm afr…

I think we disagree either on what detail-oriented or vibe-coding means. When I say vibe-coding, what I'm referring to is telling an AI your requirements and then using it's output…

Hello HN! Over the past couple months I've made dozens of job applications and it's not turned into much, and from talking to some of my coevals I'm not alone. It really feels like…

As a frequenter of Lemmy (and I suppose PieFed because it's federated), it's really the opposite of HN culturally for better and worse. The only thing that feels the same is that m…

I'm inclined to believe that the difference that makes the upper bound of human writing (or creativity) higher than that of an LLM comes from having experiences in the real world. …

Most man pages are written for someone who knows pretty precisely what they want to do, but don't recall which nobs to turn in the program to get that done. The Arch wiki instead f…

The roadblock there is a cultural one. Among Rust devs if you ever find the need for an unsafe block then you need an explanation to back it up. If anything, the Rust language woul…

I hear Cardon get mention on rare occasion, and with how rare that is I have to assume it's been completely stagnant. Does it offer anything over C++ in current year? Seems like C+…

Cars are the most sensitive form of transport to both traffic and parking, and even then the only other form of transport I can think of where parking is an issue is biking. If you…

There has to be a point when the struggle is no longer enjoyalble, right? Outer Wilds had a puzzle that I was struggling hard with (for those who've played: the jellyfish one), and…

Counter Strike makes matchmaking far more prominent than community servers, so I don't think this is that good of an example. For a game like Team Fortress 2 where the options are …
