It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Whenever I hear someone's really into Linux I have to simultaneously brace for the best (weed-smoking gay trans furry) or the worst (bazingabrained techbro chud)

There really is no in between with Linux users

I felt that about CS grads in general

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Same with FOSS, some of the FOSS people get the point and adopt communist or anarchist ideas from it, the others cry for FOSS everywhere but somehow can't ever notice the general problems of capitalism

Stalin should have killed this guy's grandpa.

Idk how these people feel so confident they think that pfp is good.

Looks like an Oblivion npc

He looks like a baked thumb.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Based on his appearance alone he looks insufferable to be around.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago (2 children)

The most insufferable people jump from language to language. It was Node.js in 2012, Golang in like 2014/5 and now Rust.

They just create the same libraries over and over again in each language. It's such a grift.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Rust is awesome though (and it also manages to be the singular language with a fairly friendly non-chud community)

I read a lot of the source code for Lemmy/Hexbear and I wasn't terribly impressed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It has a decent idea that can already be implemented in C++ as well, but it also has a bloody fucking awful syntax that even it's own mother can't love

Overall, hyped to death because people's misconception of how safe it actually is and the fact that many think memory safety is strictly a rust feature

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

If you’re complaining about “bloody awful syntax” (which is probably the last thing I’d criticize rust for) in the same breath as “just use C++ instead” (paraphrased but that’s what you mean, right?) I don't think I have anything else to say to you.

I hope you have a nice weekend!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I meant borrow checker could be done in C++ lol C++ can always get verbose syntactically when working in large projects. Honestly I prefer Go and Dart's C-like syntax

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Memory safety isn’t really the main draw on rust for me. Traits and the very powerful enums are both higher on the list for me personally. There’s a reason people use rust for all sorts of things and projects of all sizes.

Don't forget re writing an entire client side application, but with microservices this time. Yay!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Exponential back off? Back pressure? Circuit breakers?

Nah bro

Putting that into your LinkedIn headline while looking for a job is wild to me.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

As it's just endorsing the dominant hegemony (especially in germany) idk that it's that detrimental. deeper-sadness

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I guess I'm thinking about if I put my own politics in my LinkedIn bio, but there's no soviet flag emoji

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Idk linkedin culture. What is being communicated by the heading image being the matrix combined with a weird vacation?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

“It’s all a simulation bro”

Real-life Mii

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

I thought the Rust community was full of trans girls in programming socks?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

self employed

Yeah that fits for anyone putting political shit on their LinkedIn
