It's not. It's a cargo cult developer that produces more code than you can review and confidently pushes bugs to prod.

I do. The only thing I need dynamic allocations for is queues of asynchronous events, and that's just because I'm too lazy to calculate an upper bound for how many there may be.

The lesson is: write your own code, it's not that hard.

Do you feel this way about everything? What about pre-moderating CSAM? Clearly some things are harmful enough that they should be banned.

Do you serve the instance on the public internet or on a VPN? I've been thinking about self-hosting myself, but for my purposes (open source), I'm worries about scrapers and other sources of DOS-like traffic.

Well, that's a good thing. Being "neutral" _is_ taking a side. It means you're taking an amoral stance even in big questions. Every organization has a stance. We're just become used to companies that take a stance o

I've also had terrible performance with Eigen when compared to LAPACK. Would not recommend unless you want to spend time profiling performance issues.

"You people"? Is your paranoia getting to you? 20% is an interesting number, though. The percentage of Palestinians who were Arabs in 1918 was around 90%. I wonder if that might have something to do with why the Arabs are upset? O

I'm going to need some more basis than that. Otherwise this is just the good old "Anyone who criticizes Israel is Hamas" trope.

Ah, yes. So if Piker, when looking at the Houthi/Israel dichotomy, is more sympathetic to the Houthis, that means he adopts all of their positions? That doesn't follow. Not even a little bit.

By Palestinian Mizrahi, I mean Mizrahi who are culturally Palestinian. Who have some ties to Palestine. Someone you could call native.

I just gave you an example. How can you say it is "very clearly not true". You would have to somehow disprove the reality of what has already happened in order to make that statement

For me, the only one who has ever used the standard terms as a floor has been the employer. The union has always backed me up when I wanted higher pay. I'll give an example. I've had managers switched on me, and they've then

Those legal protections are easily eroded without unions. Just look at Finland. Here, the current government first made it illegal for unions to strike when the government takes action to weaken employment law, and then they significantly w

Was this in the US? In the US, anti-union action by the government and employers has been extra egregious historically. This has obviously impacted unions in the US. There's also LOTS of anti-union misinformation spreading in the US.

Your arguments do not make even a little sense. In what world does a user have to choose between 10 package managers? Each distro has exactly one. There are also only about three, maybe four main package managers out there. A shell script b

99% of developers are most definitely not comfortable piping a script into the shell. I would never runa script without reviewing it. I would install a package from a distros repository without reviewing the contents, however, because I can

Bullshit. There's plenty of big projects that don't suggest you curl a script right into your shell. If you have curl, you're probably on Linux. Just use the package manager like an adult.

Yeah, from source in that case. Or using a verified binary if I absolutely had to.

I don't plan on using LLMs for programming any time soon. And I know like one guy who does use them. He's not a developer by trade, he just has to write programs sometimes.

Both of them provide that option. I've never installed rust without a package manager. Why would I?

What about better ideas like installing from source, or using a package manager? Or even flatpaks.
