The terrible truth is whenever you use any, free or not, "AI checker", you are probably giving them new text to train their shit on, ironically. -
Is this some twisted metaphor for a fucking facial?
-
Classic case of forgetting/not wanting to take his meds again.
Happened before. Will happen again. -
I dare say package managers are essentially both pillars at once.
Good ones, at least. -
Cyrillic makes more sense if you know the alphabet it originated from, which is Greek.
The letters and sound match almost 1 to 1. -
@12bitfloat
As if it wouldn't collapse if the random guy in Nebraska selflessly maintaining certain obscure yet critical piece of code would just pull the plug one day (see relevant xkcd).
Remember what happened when some dude deleted his npm package over some dispute?
Suddenly half the internet stopped working. And I'm all for it. -
The problem here is accepting people are willing to work pro bono.
No, they don't. They have their families to feed or whatever.
Companies are the same. They exist to make money, otherwise they would fold.
I dare to say 70% of the profits of nasdaq companies is built upon open software whose authors will see no benefit.
So yeah, open source, sure, GPL everywhere. Force every freeloader to go GPL too, and *enforce* it.
Make it a royalty. You use my stuff to make money? Sure. You now owe me 30% of your profit.
Problem solved. -
Yes. They are pissed off nowadays.
And if laws are passed to prevent them from doing so, they will claim doom and gloom.
In the end, capitalist world. They made profit through dubious, non regulated practices.
They have no point now to complain against anti-freeloader measures.
If that passes through, all my code committed to public repos will contain deliberate, exploitable vulnerabilities.
And then, capitalism will rein them in, in time. -

I guess npm is judeomasonic, or controlled by the Illuminati. -
@Lensflare
It's actually not unheard of at all, and this coming from JS world where you don't need to care about ABI, and have many other language level features that can soften the blow.
I've had juniors break complete libraries because they would take my C++ library, run their retarded linter through it that insisted on reordering the fields in a class according to some retarded scheme, and end up completely breaking ABI since memory layouts changed.
"But who cares about reordering fields, it's all the same!"
... -
Always exact.
Build replayability is vital for ci/CD. -
Quest apps are just your everyday Android APKs.
You can get them on the meta store website if you have a meta account.
Or if you are sailing the high seas from alternative stores. -
And it seems my autocorrector made me say retarded shit.
Meaning double words and such.
I dunno, might have been me, but I wasn't drunk when I posted that... -
I find it fun. You say I reset the platform. I have no such power.
That, in addition to what you just said in this thread, confirms my theory.
By some reason I can only understand by it being "murica", you were let go. Clearly, you cannot last more than a month without supervision.
Do yourself (and all of us) a favour and turn yourself in.
I mean, if you need to be interned again, I don't think you'll be ever out. -
@Lensflare
Ventanas oscilobatientes, bitch.
The wonder if why you don't have them anywhere else...
In the case of Spain, I would say in general is
- Loudness. We speak really really loud for European standards.
- Closeness. We have way more physical contact, even with strangers, than us usual anywhere else.
- lateness. We really live out of sync with the rest of the world, caused by us sticking to CET, when we should be, by all means, GMT. So we do everything really late compared to our neighbours. -
@Lensflare
Drag and drop, just like OS level copy paste is a hard problem.
You cannot just byte copy everything.
There's so much fucking metadata that thankfully vendors agreed to that make it possible that I would say it's actually one of the modem modern wonders of the world. -
I agree with all of you on all counts.
Still, why not just cp?
It's probably faster than any GUI and guaranteed to work. -
If that means you are going to take an extended break like last time, meaning you either take your meds or get into a mental health clinic again, by all means, do so.
-
Well, it turns out our incompetent government was the cause after all.
Since they started shutting down gas, coal and nuclear, we lack fast response plants that can quickly adapt output in case of production upsurges. This messes up the frequency of the AC, triggering substations to promptly disconnect to protect themselves, leading to blackouts.
This was warned against by the experts, and our corrupt politicians knew, but hid it from everyone.
So yeah, they are too fucking blame and should bear the responsibility. -
Not that it was the likely cause, but yeah, our retarded government insists on shutting down nuclear plants and keep buying power from France.
Fun thing, our miserable president was recorded two years ago saying that there would be no major blackouts or anything like that...
Cue today... Largest power failure in recorded history -
I just got energy back. Seems like it was all of Spain, eastern Portugal and southern France.
-
I actually think you
Might be into something.
Like, how can it be that
You can see the truth clearly and
I, cannot see such evidence.
Not everyone can see it, I guess.
Greatness is all you deserve. -
Considering your typical OS workload has upwards of 200 processes running, 4 cores or 100 makes little difference.
You have contention. Cellphones are usually much more biased to keeping foreground processes running, for obvious reasons, to the point it heavily impacts other tasks.
But still, downloading is still I/O.
I/O is inherently serial. No amount of multithreading will make it go any faster.
You want asynchronicity, not parallel processing. -
@CaptainRant
Loyalty to a company is a two way street.
You are not a slave to your employer, and should not behave like you are.
Your boss must also know you are not his property, and ideally, compensate you according to the value you bring in.
So yeah, in the end it's about trust.
I never once asked for a raise in my old company. My boss would give them to me based on the value I was providing.
That builds trust.
Not on just the compensation, but also being kept in the clear about the direction the company is taking, what troubles we face, and such.
That's not an employee's job, but it's it's really nice knowing that kind of stuff to plan your life and big events better (such as buying a home, having children, etc)
In the end, it's transparency, which builds into trust. -
I guess it, at least nowadays, comes down to the whole short term-ness of the workforce itself.
People jump jobs much more now, usually for better salaries, and that's completely alright, but in the end, that makes companies not want to invest in you long term.
Because yes, on the clock education is an investment by your employer, to actually draw more value from you (and hopefully paying you back part of said extra value).
With the volatility of the market right now, it's no surprise that employers don't want to take those risks.
My previous company I stayed at for 8 years, until we were bought off. My boss paid for a shit ton of stuff, such as the drone flying license. Were there other candidates for it? Yes. He took the one he knew wouldn't just up and leave for a marginally better offer the next month. -
@jestdotty
Don't interact. This happened before you came here.
He disappeared. We all assumed he was interned somewhere to get help.
Suddenly he came back. Seemed fine at first, like, you know, taking the meds he needs.
It's back to deranged rambling now.
He'll call you stuff. Don't engage, it's pointless. -
Actually, a Carrington event is long overdue from what we can predict.
Our sun seems just to be a benevolent overlord. -
@Navid-mnzh
As @cuddlyogre said, webview in android is functional, but on crapple, they don't want you skipping on that nice 30% cut and sweet data access, so it's probably capped to the point of uselessness.
React native is an abomination which while trying to do react, forces you to end up having to write native code anyway for any non trivial app.
So at that point, just consider going native, or at least non-web, with something like flutter or such. -
You really need to take your meds again.
-
Just go WebView I guess, and join the other gazillion of shitty WebView apps.
