They're getting spammed with the AI stuff.

Corps who would rather have AI looking images instead of using stock photos love the AI stuff.

I've been pushing everyone else to photopea.com which is photoshop sans-ai in the browser.

I don't see that, I don't pay for it and I have an adblocker.

You may want to check if it has a "fusion drive" (hdd with small ssd cache), or an ssd.

IIRC, old macs with hard drives used non standard temperature sensors on the hard drives (instead of on cpu/gpu). When not running MacOS, the computer hardware couldn't tell what the temperature was, so it would run the fans at full speed just to be safe. It could get quite loud.

You might want to do some research on that particular model to see if it would be affected.

Before:

• Gnome 2 was great
• Gnome 3 was terrible
• KDE 4 was terrible

Today: KDE.

Why not Gnome:

• It's missing basic features.
• General new users startup is:
  • searching online to try and fix things
  • 50% chance of it working.
  • 50% chance of it not working because the fix doesn't work on your version of gnome and having to find another fix
• Common recommendation for missing features (to use extensions) is a non-starter since the extensions break after every update, so every update you need to go back through the general new users startup steps above.

Why KDE:

• It has all the basic features by default, and a bunch of extra stuff.
• General new user process is:
  • looking through settings and changing the 2-3 they care about
  • looking through features, trying them out to see which ones you want to use, turning on/off the 2-3 you care about
  • Never needing to look through or remember the other settings, because your computer is already set up for you.

Future:

• Gnome: more of the same, likely basic features missing until specific people are removed (could be 5-10 years, then another few years of catching up).
• KDE: Will continue making updates and consolidating similar features where it makes sense.
• Cosmic: Will continue sanding off rough edges and fill in last remaining missing features. Will probably surpass Gnome for 90% of user's needs in a year. Will probably be trading blows with KDE in 3 years and will surpass them if KDE ever makes any missteps.

The distinction:

Piracy is an availability problem.

Taking someone else's art and passing it off as your own is taking credit for someone else's work and severs all connections between artist and consumer.

I'd rather use Fork than deal with git's terrible UI.

It's free in the same sense as sublime text (you're free to "evaluate" it with all features for free as long as you want, then pay when you want).

But it's only macos and windows.

Good news: Looks like Bun's competitive with Deno again on node support.

Bad news: Bun still has poor security compared to Deno.

Wait and see news: Is bun's switch to rust going to be worth it over the long haul, or should they have worked on making their code better, or used a mix of languages where it'd make best sense to do so?

That's 41 degrees for everyone who doesn't measure things in bird per gun.

Good.

If you didn't write the code, then you didn't think through every detail.

If you didn't think through every detail, then you have gaps in your understanding.

If you have gaps in your understanding, then why are you submitting code and pushing the burden onto someone else to understand it for you?

What makes you think they'd want to accept that burden?

cURL was one of these for a while (according to my limited understanding)

It was made in the 90s and it didn't get commercial support until a few years ago.

Github has always had being a job site be it's secondary feature.

Except that it has a slightly higher bar of entry to recruiters and recruitment bots spreading toxic positivity, and anyone asking for a job is able to prove (at least some of) their value by showing off their code and how they participate publically in other repos (if at all).

No, that was Fish who made Fez, announced Fez 2, then crashed out after some poor communication on his part and left.

What's with all the complaints here?

New users expect middle click to bring up an auto-scroll widget instead of pasting by default.

You can set up your computer how ever you want.

Want auto-scroll? Set it to auto-scroll.

Want paste? Set it to paste.

The first thing you do on a new system is set up the computer how you want.

No one's taking anything away from you.

I don't see any actual temper lost here.

In one case he points out that someone is making commits that have messed up a file's indentation, and to stop doing that because it's messing things up (they were).

In the other case he points out that rust's default format rules are wrong (in the context of version control readability, they are) and asks someone to fix them.

There's a reason Teams is/was shit.

The first teams was written in AngularJS (which is a slow to run resource hog, but fast to develop) wrapped in Electron. It was kind of a minimum viable product, just to build something quickly to get some feedback and stats on what people needed.

The plan was to build a new native version of teams and build it into the next windows while having an web fallback (built on react) for everyone else.

They stopped working on the original teams and started working on the new versions.

They got half-way through working on the native and react versions when suddenly, covid happened.

They couldn't keep working on the new versions because they wouldn't be ready for a while, so they had to go back and resume development on the old one, introducing patch after patch to quickly get more features in there (like more than 2 webcam streams per call).

Eventually covid subsided and they were able to resume development on the new teams versions.

Windows 11 launched with a native teams version (which has less features but runs super quick), and the new react based teams (which can now be downloaded in a webview2 wrapper) has been in open beta since late last year (if you've seen the "Try the new Teams" toggle, then you've seen this). The React+Webview2 teams will replace the AngularJS+Electron version as the default on July 7th.

What to know about blue supermoons:

1. They literally mean nothing.
2. The change is imperceptible to everyone.
3. Expect useless clickbait slop about it until it passes.

Good.

A programming company which produces nothing, has more lawyers than programmers, and whose entire company runs on signing ridiculous deals with corrupt managers who then leave the blast radius before anyone else finds out how bad the deals are deserves to die.

Hopefully once the company is torn apart into a million pieces and each piece sold off, maybe sensible things start happening again and the Javascript language can finally get the rights to the name Javascript.

It's not rebase vs merge, it's rebase AND merge.

Commit your changes into logical commits as you go.

Then just before submitting a pull request, review your own code. That includes reviewing your own commits too, not just the code diff.

Use rebase to:

• Swap commits so that related changes are together
• Edit your commit messages if you find a mistake or now have a better idea of what to put in your messages
• Drop any useless commits that you just end up reverting later
• Squash any two commits together where the first was the meat of desired change and the second was the one thing that you forgot to add to that commit so you immediately followed it up with another commit for that one missing thing.

Then, and only then, after you have reviewed your own code and used rebase to make the git history easier to read (and thus make it easier to review), then you can submit a pull request.

What do you mean "filesystem"?

That's the data format that you'll find on a USB flash drive, hard drive, ssd, etc...

It has nothing to do with web development, they're completely separate things.

What you're asking makes as much sense as asking: "Which temperature smells best? Words or tired?"

You've gone down the wrong road and we're not sure how you got there.

You'll have better luck if you explain what you're actually wanting.

There are only two genders...

Except for: <giant list of genetic, epigenetic, developmental, etc... things that happen with human beings>.

Not to mention all the other things that happen with other living things
