Needing everything to be a class

In 2015 they added scripting. If you’re making a real project, you should absolutely use classes. (It’s not that hard. Don’t do the Java shit.) But you can absolutely write one off scripts just fine.

AOT support is still lacking.

Publishing your app as Native AOT produces an app that’s self-contained and that has been ahead-of-time (AOT) compiled to native code. Source.

C# is nearly the same, but much, much better.

• It doesn’t (usually) come with the Java culture 8 layers of abstraction. This isn’t in the Java language. This isn’t in OO. Yet nearly every Java programmer makes things way more complicated than it needs to be.
• It’s a prettier language. Similar syntax with less bullshit.
• It’s open source
• It’s still multiplatform. Modern dotnet / C# works on anything.
• Both Visual Studio and Visual Studio code are great IDEs that blow Eclipse out of the water
• It’s one of the most common business languages.
• It’s going to be supported forever.

If I could restrict the world of programming to two languages, it’d be C# and Rust. C# for most things and Rust for a lower level language.

How much does the setup cost? assuming I’m already self hosting and have some disk space.

VPN and a seed box?

Youth church functions were always more depraved than anything agnostic.

It’s important that he disabuses himself of the notion that he’s really good at this if he tried. The trying is the part that’s the challenge. They make the ability to understand part relatively easy. That’s the whole point of college.

The tip is to change his perspective and stop thinking that he’s above it. It may not be the only tip, but it’s a big one.

The world is filled with people who used to be brilliant slackers when they were young who did nothing with it.

Anyone can theoretically sit down and study for the equivalent of a university degree. Most people don’t have the motivation or discipline for that.

Half the point of the degree is that it pushes you to get it done. (The other half is verification that you did it.)

If you still can’t do it, then it isn’t so easy after all, is it? The main challenge isn’t how big your brain is. It’s actually putting in the work.

If you can’t find enough self-discipline to get through it, you’re going to regret it later.

I was the generation we were hopeful for. All we’ve done is stall. We got Obama elected… and that’s about it.

We need a plan that’s better than “wait it out”. That one tends to fail.

And who will they blame? Probably others.

We’ve expected that for over a generation. It’s more than just the boomers doing this. If you’re waiting for Gen X, you’re going to have to wait for Millennials too, because we thought the same thing.

It wasn’t boomers that were influenced by r/the_donald and 4chan.

I’d also like to see specialist instances. There could absolutely be a separate instance that has major sports, for example. Or even just the NFL. Kind of like the benefits of old forums, but with the benefits of federation and Reddit.

More geographic based instances would also be great.

Otherwise I’m not into more instances just for defederation’s sake. Email works just fine having most users in a few major hosts. Lemmy can be similar. It’s the option to leave that is important.

He notably didn’t say they needed to do better for the American people or that they needed to have better policies.

He said they needed to do better to earn our trust. They don’t want to change what they’re doing; they just want to make us agree with it.

Vance over performed slightly. I’d say Walz underperformed slightly. Walz was too nice.

In the end, I think Walz wins by a fair margin. Plus Walz got the biggest two soundbites that will be played for the next week ad nauseum.

Vance had absolute shit to work with. Walz could have given the Independence Day speech.

I actually appreciate the part where Walz went off script and responded directly to Vance and the question asked. It was about Congress making the laws, and not the Vice President. They’ll likely use that to attack Walz and Harris, but I appreciated him dropping a bit of the show and just conveying reality.

The changes they were talking about require a vote from Congress. Vance dismissing that and saying it can be done through executive action should be concerning. Technically, it might be true, considering the President can just start shooting/jailing congresspeople until they vote his way. But I don’t think that’s what they wanted to express.

Its Ubuntu 24.04. When I started it, it took quite awhile and then said “there as a problem, please log out”.

Now that I’ve got it started (where I’m posting from now), it still refuses to arrange my monitors. And I have no idea what this 5th, 13.3" monitor is supposed to be.

It looks like my issues are related to this hardware. I guess that’s understandable. I thought this hardware would be transparent to the OS, and apparently it’s not.

If I hit apply here, it will fail and put them back in a line. I’ll also get around 4 fps and no cursor on the additional monitors.

I installed a fresh copy of, I believe, Debian. Wayland, for some reason, couldn’t handle 4 monitors, with one above the other three.

Not the issue I expected on a fresh install. Oh, and the biggest issue I had with Windows was copied straight into Linux. I want my (single) taskbar on a monitor that isn’t my primary.

I’m currently back to Windows. It was already going to be a rough transition, and missing the ideas I was looking for while also adding complications just hasn’t made it worth it.

Vasectomy is probably free anyway.

It’s hard for me to explain to people the unique tier that Olive Garden (and separately Pizza Hut) existed in.

There were many nicer Italian places than Olive Garden. It wasn’t pretentious at all, but it was nice and ubiquitous. Maybe a little better than PF Changs today? (Not that I’m very familiar with PF Changs). No one would laugh at you for taking a date there.

Pizza Hut was more casual by far, largely because you’d have kids playing arcade games and whatnot. Pizza Hut was more family oriented, but still more classy than most things we have today.

Maybe Texas Roadhouse is closer to accurate.

Same for Olive Garden. Enshittification and placating shareholders came for them both.
