Lol. I keep saying that programming is great if you enjoy the act of using a computer.

Hardened libraries

Like log4j?

Ecosystems matter for sure, but any java “killer library” should be usable by other programming languages.

Of course. Code review doesn’t have to be a strict process.

A problem with code reviews is that sometimes it’s easier to reason about a problem as you work on it. You will likely end up with better code going through an iterative process working with your computer instead of trying to get the perfect solution the first time.

It’s kind of like math. We need to expand a problem out in order to solve it, and then simplify the solution once we have it.

After using Rust, I struggle to find a use-case for Java.

We have Python for the bad programmers.

I mean, at some point you have to realize that instructing an AI on every single thing you want to do starts to look a lot like programming.

Programming isn’t just writing code. It’s being able to reason about a method of doing things. Until AI is at the level of designer, you can expect humans to have to do the brunt of the work to bring software to life.

Yeah, but when they’re dealing with possibly hundreds of these fake profiles they probably just go for the lowest quality they can get away with.

Even something like storage costs can add up pretty quickly in a 3rd world country.

Eh, it’s more than likely a pig-butchering scam.

The groups that do these are rather unsophisticated and mostly don’t speak english. It would make sense that their poor internet connections only have low quality photos and this is likely just one of many scams with equally-bad photos.

Maybe the democrats should stop running ruling class candidates while expecting the working class to “fall in line?”

How come you never blame the people doing the same thing but expecting different results? If history is anything to go by, choosing a female to run for president guarantees a trump victory.

It’s a hard truth, but a truth nonetheless. Unfortunately you people have been conditioned to cover your ears to hard truths and just pretend reality is a different way.

The fuck? I’m not fine with this outcome.

I’m also not fine with the outcome of harris.

Both suck, but what makes harris suck is that you people will think you’re winning because you’re losing slower. I refuse to fall in line because I will not support the idea that a slow loss is somehow a win.

If you people want different results, run different candidates! Otherwise, “you are fine with this outcome.”

If you people want me to vote for your candidate, make sure they aren’t just the “lesser evil.”

Try doing something different next time if you want different results. Don’t repeat the same mistakes.

Blame everyone who voted for hillary clinton in the 2016 primary for why we now have 2 trump presidencies. They’re out of touch.

I’d say the lesser evil is the greatest ally of authoritarianism in this case.

People don’t vote for democrats because democrats don’t care about the working class. They just use the culture war as a distraction from the class war.

If useful idiots didn’t vote for hillary clinton in the 2016 primary, we would’ve had 8 years of Bernie and 0 years of trump.

Instead, they just throw a woman up and say “hey guys! first BLACK woman president! Vote for us or you’re a bigot fascist!”

Surprise surprise, that’s not a winning strategy. Stop supporting the democrats who push it.

Fun fact: both times democrats ran a female president resulted in a trump presidency. In other words, 100% of female democratic presidential candidates lost to trump. If we follow history and want a fascist in office, let’s run a female that doesn’t care about the working class.

That’s the point. It’s important these people think that each election is between a giant douche and a turd sandwich.

It’s why Bernie wasn’t allowed to win any primaries.

Guess the “fall in line” crowd didn’t fall in line after all.

Remember this during the 2028 primary.

We can’t move to direct voting quickly enough.

Get these “representatives” out of power and put them in regular jobs like the rest of us.

Bad people are allowed to do bad things as long as they have the money for it.

Because a lie told often enough becomes true.

Realistically, every useful idiot is afraid to say they don’t know if a Chinese company is a spy network because it’s sooooooooo obvious even asking for proof makes them look stupid.

Ironically, not asking for proof is what makes us stupid.

If something is “so obviously true” yet nobody can provide evidence for it when asked, it’s probably the propaganda mill doing its job.

Everyone, make sure you click the 3-dot dropdown menu and click “view comment moderation history.”

This is an easy way to see what content is being censored from us.

While his comment did go against lemmy.world’s rules, there’s nothing stopping any of us from starting or joining instances that do not have such restrictions in place.

Do not let them silence us. Do not let them control the narrative. Ideas are powerful, that’s why they don’t want us to have them.

All Tesla dealerships should be on fire by now.

Now now. Let’s be pragmatic. Why destroy their wealth when we can just redistribute it?

Take their wealth and give it to those in need. If they resist, put them down like dogs. (sorry dogs)

it will succumb to all the same socio-economic pressures.

The fediverse’s decentralized nature means that while some parts of it will succumb (maybe even most), there will inevitably be parts of it that don’t (or at least to a much lesser extent.)

It’s quite possible that the parts of the fediverse that avoid commercialization, though, are the ones that allow things that businesses don’t want to be associated with, like saying the N word.

Could be a great resurgence of free speech, although you’ll have to tolerate people saying things you don’t like.
