  • That depends on how often you use it. If I needed to write quicksort as often as the quadratic formula, I’d probably remember it. And if I only used the quadratic formula as often as I do quicksort, I’d just derive it each time.

  • You don’t need to memorize quicksort. If you understand how it works, it’s trivial to work out the exact details.

  • Creators who care about privacy should not support Google’s monopoly by using YouTube as their platform of choice.

  • LLMs are a type of neural networks.

  • Since PHP has to maintain backward compatibility, many of the issues are not and will never be fixed.

  • You mean the company that makes money from getting children addicted to gambling?

  • Yes, also remember to completely avoid Typescript and C# since they are also Microsoft.

    This, but unironically.

  • By what standard is GitLab not a “capitalist platform”? It feels even more corporatey than GitHub. From their homepage:

    GitLab is the most comprehensive AI-powered DevSecOps Platform.

  • SourceHut encourages an e-mail–based workflow that does not require anyone but the repository owner to have an account. In fact, that’s how Git originally worked before GitHub enshittified it.

  • How would decentralization work for an issue tracker? The issues have to be stored somewhere.

  • I’m sure there is a lot that the random developer who happened to be born in Russia can do about that.

  • But you can’t view Mastodon posts from Lemmy.

  • Does that also mean I should not browse any websites I don’t already know? That’s very limiting.

  • Is there anything bad that can happen if you just click a link without logging in or anything? How is it different from opening up a random search result?

  • My Android phone (Realme) allowed me to uninstall most pre-installed bloatware.

  • You still have the freedom to not use alternative app stores.

  • Walled gardens are not good for anyone.

  • Or the people at Microsoft could learn to read. While that takes more than a minute, it can also be useful for other purposes.

  • Unfortunately, it’s only alive as long as you don’t close your client.

  • Only Lemmy. I could never find anything interesting on Mastodon and hate the Twitter-based format.
