  • Good IDE/code editor for developing Android apps with Kotlin?

    Jump

  • VS Codium uses open vsx, which is the extension registry built and run by the Eclipse team. Whatever extensions you're using will also work on Theia.

  • That's just AI marketing bandwagon crap, probably fishing for funding. The editor has been around for a few years, and it had nothing to do with AI until very recently.

  • Nit picking: why use VSCodium? It's better to use Eclipse Theia instead, which is built from scratch and runs its own extension repository.

    ...and for the old timers: NO! Eclipse Theia is NOT the Eclipse you're thinking of

  • I'm a full time senior dev using the shit out of LLM’s, to get things done at a neck breaking speed

    I'm not saying you're full of crap, but I smell a lot of crap. Who talks like this unironically? This is like hearing someone call somebody else a "rockstar" or "ninja".

    If you really are breaking necks with how fast you're coding, surely you must have used this newfound ability to finally work on those side projects everyone has been meaning to work. Those wouldn't be covered under NDA.

    Edit: just to be clear, I'm not anti-LLMs. I've used them myself in a few different forms, and although I didn't find them useful for my work, I can see how they could be helpful for certain types of work. I definitely don't see them replacing human engineers.

  • I don't know you, but I'll give you an example of someone I do know

    • Didn't give a crap about computers throughout highschool. Didn't really know what he wanted to do in general
    • Picks computer science last minute because it supposedly makes a lot of money
    • Cruised through shitty community college doing the bare minimum, no side projects or any sign he's even interested
    • At graduation time, he barely knows how to code. Has a github profile with some homework assignments he was forced to do
    • Is part of the job market now, competing against you and me.

    I don't know if he's employed as a software engineer right now, but I've worked with people who obviously fit the same profile. People who expect real work to be as simple as submitting a homework assignment last minute using shit you copy pasted from SO (or I guess ChatGPT now), and then fucking off to enjoy life while your coworkers are burdened by your incompetence.

    This is a field where actually giving a shit is a requirement.

  • A new ‘solution’ to student homelessness: a parking lot where students can sleep safely in their cars

    Jump

  • The american dream is still alive: enterprising young men can pull themselves up by the bootstraps, purchase an abandoned lot with their inheritance, and turn it into an affordable housing lot for struggling college students!

    And after a few years, they can have a flashy exit when they sell their lot to a private equity firm for big bucks!

  • HDMI Forum is unwilling to disclose the 2.1 specification for open-source (Linux): according to AMD, they had submitted a functional, HDMI 2.1-compatible driver [for linux?], which the Forum rejected.

  • Ublock has a feature to disable javascript by default. There's no better way to use the internet in 2025

  • HDMI Forum is unwilling to disclose the 2.1 specification for open-source (Linux): according to AMD, they had submitted a functional, HDMI 2.1-compatible driver [for linux?], which the Forum rejected.

    Jump

  • That probably won't work. It will get basic video and maybe audio through, but not features like VRR, which is why you'd care about HDMI 2.1 support at all

  • Linux traffic has grown 22.4% in PH this year

    Jump

  • Wrong. If that were true, it wouldn't have suddenly gone up 22% this past year.

    ...I wonder, did something happen recently that might have led to an influx of incels/cucks/betas into the chad Linux community?

  • You can contribute to an open-source keyboard by glide typing

  • I actually have no idea, but whenever he pops up I see people bring out the vaguely pointed pitchforks. I figured I'd point that out to avoid those people derailing the discussion.

  • I don't agree with OSI either, and think their licenses are exploitative. But their definition is useful to call out orgs like FUTO.

    The solution to devs being exploited by big tech is the GPL or AGPL, not whatever FUTO is doing. They're trying to have their cake and eat it too: earn the goodwill that comes from claiming you're open source, while keeping the same restrictions in place you'd see in a commercial software package, which keep users locked down to one vendor (aka "free beer" rather than "freedom")

    This isn't a new idea invented by FUTO, it's called "source available". Gitlab is another example of this, as is Unreal Engine, and many others.

  • Ruby Is Not a Serious Programming Language

    Jump

  • Not being the language for programming beginners and data scientists, probably aides that impression, though…

    I think it was that back when it was relevant (but replace data scientists with web devs)

    I never got interested in the ecosystem myself, but I've run into it every now and then. I feel like it's in the same place as PHP today: still used a lot for legacy reasons, but you'll get weird looks if you start a new project with it and you're under the age of 40

  • Trains cancelled over fake bridge collapse image

    Jump

  • A BBC journalist ran the image through an AI chatbot which identified key spots that may have been manipulated.

    This is terrifying. Does the BBC not have anyone on the team that understands why this does not, and will never work?

  • Version control tooling is still at its “blackberry” stage anyway.

    That was uncalled for.

  • Are monorepos really simpler?

    Jump

  • google does a lot of things that just aren’t realistic for the large majority of cases

    Yes, but that is not relevant. The person they replied to said a monorepo doesn't scale. Google (and others) prove that it does scale to at least their massive size.
