  • Yeah and uhhhh....

    UUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHH...

  • I am Atticus! King and Uniter of the cardigans and the pembrokes!

  • I used it for a while and I think it's been one of the best languages I've tried. C for example is too barebones for modern desktop apps. Apps written in Rust are great but most of the time, it's just not worth the effort. And stuff like Python, JS is... uhh.. where do I even begin

    I think Go hits the sweet spot between these. Unlike C, it at least has some simple error/panic mechanism, GC so you don't have to worry about memory much and some modern features on top of that. And unlike Python it can actually create reasonably snappy programs.

    In any programming language, there will always be multiple cases where you need to link C libraries. CGo, although people don't seem to be adoring it, is actually... okay? I mean of course it does still have some overhead but it's still one of the nicer ways to link C libraries with your code. And Go being similar to C makes writing bindings so much easier

    Multithreading in Go is lovely. Or as I read somewhere "you merely adopted multithreading, I was born with it"

    Packaging is handled pretty nicely, pulling a library from the net is fairly trivial. And the standard directory structure for Go, although I'm not used to it, makes organizing stuff much easier and is easy to adopt

    As you would've guessed from the amount of times I mentioned C in this comment, I basically see Go as the "bigger C for different situations"

  • Running a lemmy instance on a free ngrok tunnel lmao thats weird

    Seriously tho, save some money and get yourself a domain and a static ip address. It will make things much easier

  • TIL XKCD has a mobile site

  • drugs

  • smort

    Jump
  • plus if you have RGB strips on your head, it goes even faster!

  • Is there a way to donate to the authors? Because I think pirating and then donating the money (directly) to the author is much more ethical than putting a megacorp or a publisher in between

    Even better if you send it with something like Monero which doesn't even put the bank between you and the author

    No one except this guy will be able to read this. Die out of curiosity muhahahaha

  • I love how people put E=mc^2 everywhere

    Like, why does Susan need that for a roating table? Unless the table is running on plutonium of course

  • margin-left: -20px

  • you can write like 5 of them and rest will be auutomatically done I think

  • But in a perfect bell curve, isn't the median always the same as the average?

    And even if it's not a perfectly symetrical bell curve, aren't they generally close enough to ignore the differance

  • I don't think TikTok community is compatible with the idea of fediverse

    TikTok exists to give you large floods of endorphins via either an algorithm trained to your interests or by giving you big numbers. And this is not exclusive to TikTok, this is just how modern "social" media works, it's the sole reason why bluesky succeeded more than mastodon

    Modern social media is mostly a hive mind of people affirming each other driven by algorithms. Fediverse on the other hand, always boils down to a old fashioned usenet style network made just so people can talk with each other. You can't really get addicted to fedi

    I wasn't really alive during the wild west internet (im 19). I got into the net during the transition from forums to modern social media and reddit was my first social. I tried getting into facebook and instagram because everyone else was there but I just didn't like it much.

    I don't know why but "the algorithm" is really boring for me. I only tried algorithm driven feeds on reddit (after u/spez) and on tumblr but the recommendations were always extremely "fake". Other sorting methods like "new" or "by most active" just feel more like as if there was someone on the other side of the keyboard

  • eat lead? this guy probably has already done that one

  • mimcraf

  • I swear this always happens to intelligent people when they age

    Me and my best friend are both gifted kids. Our families are all very smart people and so his mom and dad but for some reason, his mom is a really conservative conspiracy theorist (chemtrails, bill gates and the jews stuff) and his dad has weird spiritualist beliefs and rituals (cult inspired from buddism I think? I'm not sure) even though such stuff is forbidden under islam

    Recently his mom randomly showed us a video where "they" are "vaccinating the fish". I was going to burst into laughter if I didn't hold myself so hard. My bestie is a progressive leftist, he believes in science, and he has a very materialist point of view. He says it's sometimes embarrassing for him when his family members do such thing in public

    And the weirdest part is these are not caused by cognitive decline due to age. They still do understand everything pretty good and they can still process new information in a much more efficient manner than "average" people

    My main idea about it is that skepticism can sometimes be a curse for boomers who did not have a source of knowledge to base their skeptic ideas on, and they are just not used to accuiring reliable knowledge from the web. Reliable knowledge often being in English and majority of boomers in my country not knowing English also contributes to that
