Is there a reason why gopher is seeing a resurgence in the tech sphere? Honest question, if you like it I'm not trying to put you down, but I just don't see how it's any better or worse than HTTP

I think I'd rather just sanity check an incoming const than trust developers with global state. All it takes is one idiot to mutate one of those vars and all sorts of hell can break loose.

I've found people like this tend to think of others as Pokemon to collect and not to have real relationships with. They're desperate to brag to their friends about the rare ethnicities on their friends list

Part of the problem is that there's no real negative feedback in a government project. I've been attached to government work in the past, and the whims of the PMs change day to day because the people there were often just promoted

We need a better blended system. I'm the only person I know that's written a compiler, an emulator and written my own kernel modules (for fun really), but my degree was not really worth the paper it was printed on because all the

I did a lot of C, network wizardry and kernel hacking at uni. I couldn't get a job in that though, so I moved further up the stack and now do backend instead.

It should have been legislated properly in the wake of the court decision.

It's the same problem as every alternative social media platform, no one's on it. I'm active on Minds and have a niche following there, but it's still very insular on there

Even jobs that pay horribly expect you to subject yourself to 10s of thousands of dollars in debt to have a degree now. It's ridiculous.

As long as I can turn it off can't say I care much. Google can tut at me all it wants, but at the end of the day I'm still going to ignore them.

People say the same about the religious right 20-30 years ago. The modern, younger right really isn't concerned with censoring video games or making blasphemy illegal, but the general perception by anyone on the outside is that they&#x

Yeah, I generally either mock them or go into malicious compliance mode. Once they realise I really don't care about losing my job they stop pretending to care about this stuff

I once wrote a fusker for a paid porn site I realised just had its shit hanging out in the open. 4 days of runtime and I had a collection that left me wondering what the hell was wrong with me.

I've written a bunch of stuff that makes it easier for me to connect to cloud resources, pretty much useless for anyone else because it's tailored to my environments. I've also written a crapload of data processing apps to sc

I read an article a while ago saying that for millennials, they love follower counts and likes, while zoomies will freely move between platforms with the days' trends without really caring about that stuff.

We let normies use the internet. We had our shitfights before, sure, but when the wine mums and over opinionated 18 year olds got on the whole thing went to hell.

I got permabanned from Twitter for a screenshot of Twitter's stock price. Not that I cared, that place is a cesspool of 100 IQ LARPers anyway.

And a number of mainstream western outlets are trying to convince us to join the war by reporting on Russia's use of thermobaric weapons as if it was a warcrime. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2310098-what-ar

I feel the same way. IoC is a great pattern, but DI frameworks that try to magically sort out dependencies are just overkill especially in go imho

This feels unnecessarily complex. I fell in love with Go after years of dealing with Spring's DI, and I haven't found a situation since where dependency injection would have made my life any easier. I dunno, maybe it'd be mor

I think it's important to show students how to think about languages as a set of tools. OP's post stabs at this quite well, with the "Languages are less important than you think" section, and as someone who has already j

Can confirm, I very quickly picked up Swing when I started Java programming just because I wanted to make little games and cellular automata. Before that, we'd had Haskell forced upon us and the GUI stuff had been very difficult for a
