  • Once you move past a couple thousand LOC, you'll appreciate having an easily modifiable, modular design you had the foresight to plan out.

    Or you can just trawl through thousand of lines of unstructured spaghetti code trying to figure out where to shoehorn your new feature in like a QBasic/Arduino kid.

  • Try programming for a day without syntax highlighting or auto-completion, and experience how pathetic you feel without them. If you're like me, you'll discover that those "assistants" have sapped much of your knowledge by eliminating the need to memorize even embarrassingly simple tasks.

    That's...how the world works. We move on. We aren't programming computers by flipping toggle switches or moving patch cables around anymore either.

  • It's already corroded from the factory...hard drive platters use iron oxide. Can't rust rust. The mechanical bits may be trashed but the platter can most likely still be read with specialized recovery equipment.

  • That's unfortunate and uncalled for on a public forum where people didn't ask to see it right away. Sorry you had to see that.

  • Yeah, there's not much content, but I've found a lot of fans hanging around here, much more so than say, Reddit or other mainstream sites. Kinda like how Linux users are over-represented here. There's a lot of overlap with furries and techies. I can spot a furry avatar/username from a mile away.

  • Burying the small amount of waste in a stable non-actively forming mountain for a few thousand years is 1000x better than burning things and putting them into the air.
