Damn good point! I feel the same way about CEOs as of late and how they think AI is going to solve everything, even problems they invent just to say they’re using AI.

In my experience, as a 25-year developer in mostly OOP languages and frameworks, is that people who attack OOP usually don’t really understand it and its usefulness.

And to be fair as it relates to attacking languages or language concepts, I attacked JavaScript without fully understanding it, many years ago. I now understand it more than I ever have in the past and it has some good qualities.

So these days it’s no longer the languages or language concepts I take issue with (though I’ll joke about JavaScript from time to time). It’s the developers who misuse or misunderstand the languages or concepts that irk me. And especially the developers who think being lazy is a virtue.

I don’t even know how to respond to this. It makes no sense at all and doesn’t really relate to or respond to my comment except it happens to use the word “lazy”, I’m guessing in reference to my comment. Good luck trying to push LLMs, not sure what your agenda really is, other than to be argumentative here. Peace.

And many programmers write some pretty stupid and horrible descriptions. LLMs don’t solve this, they just allow lazy programmers to be even lazier.

White space/indentation as a construct of the syntax.

It’s why I have a hard time with python.

People have their likes and dislikes. Nothing wrong with that.

Yeah Spring wasn’t 1.0 until 2004. We had XML files upon XML files just to describe one single Java “Bean”. I did java programming from 2001-2002 and the again from 2011-today. Things dramatically changed (framework-wise) in that short decade I was away from it.

I would agree, Spring Boot and Spring are very useful to learn. React, despite having its origins in Facebook and still with Meta’s hands on it, is a good web framework especially if you use it with Typescript.

Don’t worry everyone! It’ll get bought by some investment firm or by a large company (Microsoft [to shutter it], Google, etc) and everything will be just fine.

Right?

sigh

There are valid reasons to do this, of course. But yeah it fits the image.

As a PHP developer

I’m so, so sorry.

The general populous would have no clue how to install Windows either, which can, to this day, still have driver issues.

The issue isn’t Linux. The issue is OEMs’ reluctance to provide hardware with Linux preinstalled. The moment Best Buy sells computers with Linux on it is the moment we’re done having this debate.

Instead of a stream of consciousness, maybe gather your thoughts into a more coherent and succinct post.

Perhaps a simpler query would be:

If the US was utterly destroyed overnight, how would these standards continue? Is there a plan in place for such an event?

Such a query doesn’t rely on conjecture, opinion, or politics to ask the question and get to the answer. It simply poses a hypothetical.

Asking for and/or expecting unpaid volunteers is most definitely not valid.

If he wants to pay them properly, then I would agree.

I recently bought an AMD card just to not have to deal with Linux NVIDIA nonsense anymore. I know not everyone can be in a situation that allows them to do this. But if you can, and if you don’t want to wait on the hope that all the NVIDIA issues will be resolved when explicit sync finally hits all the distro repos and the NVIDIA driver (it’s going to still take some months), I’d advise going AMD.

I’ve had nothing but buttery smoothness since switching, running Wayland with two displays at different refresh rates, and gaming works phenomenally well with no frame loss that I can tell and no stuttering/tearing.

If you are more patient than I and continue with NVIDIA, I wish you all the luck and hope the trickling in of the various fixes and libraries and drivers happen rapidly.

…and the wheel turns again…

Welcome back.

Look on the bright side…you have friends!! But yeah, I get it. Most people I know barely know what an operating system is. Surprisingly my mother knows and enjoys Linux (as a normal user) and she’s in her 60s!

When they come out with a game that even remotely interests me, then I’ll get my pitchfork. Until then, I’ll continue playing games that work perfectly fine on Linux, which is nearly every other one thanks to Wine, Valve+Proton, Glorious Eggroll, and many others in this community.

Oh I used some interesting IDE-based searching. QA closed the ticket so apparently I got them all! Haha.

That “just changing a word” is easy and quick. A codebase is an iceberg. Management only really typically understands the surface, but there is a disproportionate amount of ice under the water.

I had to change all instances of a label from a word to an abbreviation. Because we don’t have i18n set up in the app, it ended up affecting 55 different files. I did my best to consolidate into everything calling a common function, but it’s far from perfect. 55 files changed because management said “oh this word here should be shorter”.

Currently Java 11 + Spring Boot + Hibernate/JPA. The hope is to get rid of the legacy Play Framework crap so we can move to the latest Java LTS and get fully up to date with Spring Boot.
