Oh, that sounds great!

What does federation for git mean?

Academically, you’re right. For practical reasons, you probably don’t care how Simula, E, Lisp and Smalltalk (languages mentioned in that 20 year old article) implement it. This seemed more like a beginner question so I think the Java definition is a good starting point.

There aren’t really that many definitions for OOP; it’s a very consolidated paradigm. This is a short but comprehensive guide: https://www.baeldung.com/java-oop

Imagine being such a niche language that a single job posting makes headlines. In another 10.000 maybe I’ll be able to get a Rust job too.

How can you tell if someone uses vim? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you about it.

Looks really awesome, going to try it out when there’s a Linux version. VSCode is great, but could use some more performant competition.

Honestly, this article is pretty bad at explaining the problem here. It’s clear that other websites will try to track you, but the important part of this incognito drama is this:

The plaintiffs also accused Google of taking Chrome users’ private browsing activity and then associating it with their already-existing user profiles.

Wait, so the name was misleading? It should have been GitAndSvnHub

He wrote a techno optimist manifesto that reads like a proto fascist manifesto. In fact, he cites Marinetti as an inspiration, who was founder of the futurist movement, and later author of the fascist manifesto and a close supporter of Mussolini, so no surprise I guess. He enforces ideas that this century is just a bad rerun of the previous.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the board is just doing what ChatGPT tells them to.

“Engineer” means you’re supposed to be licensed and you have a responsibility for the public good above your responsibility to your employer.

Good point. We definitely don’t, and it’s what’s causing huge amounts of trouble in the world, rather than using software for the greater good.

But engineer sounds better by some definitions, and it strokes the ego of employees, so companies like to use it to give more prestige to the role.

All problems mentioned are societal issues

Exactly. This follows Marx’s theory of alienation closely. I found 3 out of 4 features described by Marx in the original article.

Pretty cool when I need autocompletion, but it really messes with my zsh config so I won’t be using it all the time

Fig looks really cool, but it’s Mac only

I really hope Chrome gets its shit together and stabilizes the chrome.processes API during my lifetime so I or someone can make an extension that autokills or at least warns you about these shitty pages.

Why the fuck is a page about fonts using 50% CPU?! Is it mining crypto or something?

I don’t want to give these people any ideas, but you can just pseudo randomize parameter names and decode them server side before storing them for analytics, so this is a non issue.

Also check out creative coding which is pretty similar to shaders, but has a lower entry barrier IMO
