no. C++ is just too painful to work with. every refactoring task is slowing to a crawl. i need a vacation from this bureaucratic nightmare.

guess i have to finish Scopes' metamodules branch.

@lritter Rust?

@lritter why? How? They're fundamentally different.

psyhackological ,
@psyhackological@fosstodon.org avatar

@lritter I think they are. Can you clarify in what way they are so similar that they're same shit different name?

psyhackological ,
@psyhackological@fosstodon.org avatar

@greenmoonmoon @lritter yes I understand however I see Rust as a one of the best refactoring programming languages once you try from the beginning. The strict borrow checker, its types, lints, generic, macros so many amazing tools to use but only once you figure out of course. You can only connect dots in reverse.

@lritter @greenmoonmoon then it happens in any programming language due to your impatience.

@lritter @greenmoonmoon 10x? What do you mean?

psyhackological ,
@psyhackological@fosstodon.org avatar

@lritter @greenmoonmoon after writing it second time - possible. I find myself refactoring stuff like changing a fully concept from 200 to 50 lines that took 10 hours. Now I know how I can reproduce it in 1 hour.

psyhackological ,
@psyhackological@fosstodon.org avatar

@lritter @greenmoonmoon maybe better naming would be something like

  1. Write something that does it step by step (imperative)
  2. Write something that you would like to achieve (declarative)
psyhackological ,
@psyhackological@fosstodon.org avatar

@greenmoonmoon @lritter any high level programming language (code abstractions) is declarative but on the low level (machine code) aspect it's imperative 😆

That's my view on it

Can anyone tell me how many homes or small businesses one can power with 10GW (gigawatts)?

The reason I ask is that Nvidia is investing $100 billion in OpenAI to build a 10 GW data center with millions of GPUs. This is another way to fuck up our planet, and your electric bill will go up. But of course, they don’t care about such things. There is absolutely no bubble 🤬 The last time dot com happened, it took more than 15 years to recover from that mess.

Talked to IRL friends about the Liquid Glass stuff, they really love it, esp. the transparent icons. I've seen lots of people here complain about it feeling "dated", but honestly if I were to guess I'd say that's because a lot of designers on here got into design when Flat/Material started replacing Skeumorphism. So I guess I'm in a bubble here 🤷‍♀️

    Freedom to choose your OS is a fundamental digital right! This means:
    💰 Lower costs
    🌱 Less e-waste from unused Windows licenses
    🚀 More freedom for you
    💪 Linux Growth

    If you're thinking of going Windows-free:
    ✅ Check out user-friendly distros like Ubuntu, Fedora, or Linux Mint
    ✅ Verify hardware compatibility
    ✅ Consider dual-booting as a transition
    ✅ Join communities for support

    Yep. I saved hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month just from switching from Substack to self-hosted Ghost.

    https://digiday.com/media/former-substack-creators-say-theyre-earning-more-on-new-platforms-that-offer-larger-shares-of-subscription-revenue/

    I pay a roughly flat $85/month now (~$75 for mailsending, $10 for hosting), vs. 10% of all my subscription income.

    Here’s some napkin math for how expensive Substack is compared to its competitors, assuming that roughly 7% of all subscribers will pay for their subscriptions, and that subscriptions cost $5/month.

    These are peanut butter energy balls, a staple snack when I'm out on the trail. I always get excited making them, because it means a trip is imminent!

    Here's how to make them, the proper metric way..

    135 grams rolled oats
    190 grams natural peanut butter (e.g. no added sugar)
    75 grams raisins
    30 grams honey
    dash of cinnamon (don't overdo it!)

    Combine all the ingredients in a big bowl, roll into bite-sized balls, and refrigerate for about an hour.

    @killyourfm I think they are called in polish "kulki mocy" which means "bliss balls" but more literal meaning would be "power balls".
