hi :)
A lot of people paid money for it, only for the dev to go AWOL pretty soon afterwards. Most people probably wouldn’t mind him abandoning the project, except for the fact that they paid a subscription (or a large one-off payment), only to get abandoned without any communication at all.
i have never seen this tool before and now i am forever in your debt
you are simply wrong. you absolute buffoon, you complete dingbat, you utter moron!!!1!1!111!!
Sync was a fantastic Reddit client (I started using it back in 2016), then during the API debacle the dev turned it into a Lemmy app and frankly it was the best on the market by a wide margin. But then he just vanished, and various things have gradually stopped working as it’s not keeping up with the latest Lemmy updates. When upvotes stopped working a few months ago, I bit the bullet and have now moved to Summit, which has the closest user experience to Sync of all the Lemmy apps I’ve found (although it doesn’t have anywhere close to the same level of polish as Sync did).
Rust has a lot of cool ideas (I love the borrow checker), but in its current state I don’t think it can replace C++ for the things I’d be interested in using it for. 99% of the time when I reach for a natively compiled language it’s because I need to do some performance-critical loop I can’t reasonably implement in the language my business logic is written in (normally Java), and I end up in a situation where most of Rust’s advantages (and C++'s footguns) aren’t really relevant (lifetimes don’t matter if I’m just writing some SIMD code which reads/writes into externally allocated memory segments). So for my purposes, Rust is mostly just a worse version of C++ in that it’s missing a bunch of features I want (my main gripes already listed above) and has a bunch of cool features that I don’t care about.
If I were writing an entire program from scratch I’d probably opt for Rust over C++, at least for the bulk of the business logic, but I don’t think Rust has quite achieved its ideal of “zero-cost abstraction” for many performance-critical use cases, and certainly not most of the ones I actually have.
This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I find modern C++ with templates and constexpr to be quite fun, mainly from the perspective of trying to do as much at compile-time as possible. Most of the resulting code is nearly incomprehensible and never gets used for anything outside of a godbolt demo, but trying to do complex tasks within the limited and unintuitive world of compile-time evaluation is something I’ve never really been able to find in any other language.
i don’t want to hear about rust, const generics are almost useless and you know it, specialization isn’t really a thing and nothing like variadic templates exists yet
Yeah, same here (a bit over 3 months in my case). I don’t really feel strongly either way about my new (very small) boobs, but still have yet to notice any kind of mental/emotional changes. I’ve seen a few people online say it took as long as like 9 months before they noticed anything mentally, so I guess some patience is in order.
I had a classmate named Yannis back in the day. He had two brothers, named Jonas and Juan. Sometimes I wonder what his parents were smoking.
is that applicable if there was originally no hyphen?
me too girlie :3
Fair enough, it seems I overlooked the parenthesis in your original comment.
My daily driver is a PowerEdge T620 with 48 Ivy Bridge cores (2x E5-2969 v2) and 384 GiB of DDR3-1333. It’s a bit of a power hog yes, but it’s still cheaper than upgrading to a more modern system with at least that much DDR4/5, and the only things where performance has been an obstacle has been a few more recent games (most recently Clair Obscur, which was bottlenecked by my GPU with the CPUs at pretty low utilization).
Nah, my dad will jump at any opportunity to talk about how bad and corrupt the Republican party is, but still votes for them every election because he agrees with pretty much everything they’ve ever advocated for except maybe Iraq. He’s a Republican because he hates poor people and minorities and “communism”, but not out of any sort of team loyalty.
this was unironically my dad’s kneejerk response when he heard that notre dame went up in flames
I beg to differ, a few months ago my site was getting absolutely hammered by GoogleBot with hundreds of requests per second, faster than my server could keep up with - to the point that the entire apache daemon kept locking up.
I kept using it until about two months ago, when votes stopped showing (presumably due to some API change), but there were plenty of minor things before that - for example, it stopped being able to save images almost a year ago.
