Excuse me, Mr. Clerk, but where do you stock the juicy, ripe tomatos that burst with the flavor of the sun in every bite? How about the bananas which are naturally full of joy? A bundle of vibrant carrots gently plucked from the Earth's tender embrace?

Oh wow, and I didn't even notice shopping list item #1 until now and, uh... uh... Can one even get fresh milk "just like when you were little" at any grocery store? The way it's worded sounds more like human breast milk :O
The optimizations both looked correct. Both told the compiler to target broadwell. The fastest nbody was rust, but it was non-portably using x86 intrinsics. Zig has explicit simd vectors in the stdlib and so did better than the portable explicit simd of the third place rust entry. However, zig is using optimized float mode equivalent to gcc ffastmath so it is almost certainly getting the wrong answers simce it didn't use the iterative sqrt trick.

You don't have to set up a database for Git, either, and it works entirely locally. Git init, edit or copy in some files, git add, git commit, boom you're done. Optionally add a remote, push to the remote, pull from the remote if needed. If you're working alone, as I do, this is about 95% of the Git I need. Occasionally I clone to a different machine, or use Working Copy on iOS.

It's amazing that this software exists. And any game you can make with it can be played on a range of new emulator hardware.

There's the Pocket Analogue, which is the high-end option that runs games directly from cartridges using two FPGAs, no emulation at all. https://www.analogue.co/pocket

And there's the cheap Miyoo Mini and the Anbernic handle-helds that let you run everything up to PS1 games on a tiny handheld. They have SP-style (vertical) and PSP-style (horizontal) versions.

It would be so cool to make a game and flash it onto one of these to show to your friends.
If you're on a different lemmy instance, how do you translate these links to local ones?

This is really the only problem I've been struggling with on lemmy.

Otherwise, the experience has been okay. Teething pains, sure, but most of those are getting resolved in real time.

And, if the "external reddit app" people all start developing their app for lemmy instead, holy cow, that's going to put a lot of programmer hours into it.

Reddit may go down a lot faster than I expected. I really expected spez to win this one simply by holding his breath and running to the IPO. However, things are kinda collapsing faster than I expected.

Edit: Nope: search didn't work for the lemmy.world one. Presumably that only works if someone on your instance has already pulled in the group to your instance.

On a visit with my mom to the bay area a few weeks ago, we went into a chain philly cheese sandwich place and after placing our order the guy at the counter directed her to the POS screen to swipe her card and it automatically suggested a 15% tip for the counterperson. I watched the visible uncomfort on her face while she tipped this business out of guilt, all the while my mouth was open wondering where it all went wrong. we had zero interaction with the counter guy beyong saying the order we wanted.

Don't tip anyone! Thats how it spreads

> The former screams "give us your data, so we can use it --- also you get to use this cool app, that relies on it" whereas the latter seems more like "Give us your data so you can use this cool app that relies on it, but honestly your data isnt that profitable to us".

One reason I "trust" Google more than Apple is: I know that Google uses basically everything about me, but they are also kinda open about it. Apple on the contrary always likes to tout that they are oh so privacy friendly while still harvesting data en mass.

(Also, basically Googles entire business is about your data, so they better have it safe. Cuz if it starts crumbeling because of EU Laws and similar they basically have no business anymore unlike Apple)

And yes, I know it's not the best idea to "trust" even Google.
I usually roll my eyes when people claim that CSS is just too hard to learn, or that these new features are just too complex. I am generally of the opinion that once you are a day-to-day practitioner, CSS does broadly make sense once you build a mental model of how the system works.

And then they throw in this dynamic viewport unit stuff, and I realize…oh, I am guilty of hubris. I have angered the CSS gods, and they have struck me down for my arrogance—because this is complicated stuff.

Properly burning waste is environmentally sound, so yeah, go for it. Instead of spending fossil fuels to move waste long distances for disposal, you can harvest the energy in the waste and reduce fossil fuel use. Seems like a win-win, as long as you are careful about processing the exhaust and the slag.
I agree with the points made.

Windows will just work as a desktop experience, and snappier to boot.. with one big caveat.. their monthly patches are very buggy and often fail installing outright for some users, and often come with bugs that trash a formerly working feature like printing or vpn or something else. It's bad enough that I actually haven't updated Windows 10 in 2+ years. No, I'm not worried, I've been using computers for decades, it's not necessary to be absolutely the latest version if you know what you're doing and I want the setup to just keep working smoothly.

Now about Linux.. flatpaks are the future of packaging as are immutable distros.. BUT..

Flatpaks have their own issues.. sometimes there are weird glitches where one in particular takes over 5 minutes to open on a system with twice the CPU cores than a years-older system which only takes 20 seconds in Windows. Still early days yet though for flatpak but very promising. Ridiculous how so many distros have to compile their own app repositories separately.. what a waste of electricity and duplication of effort.

Inconsistencies with fonts-Just an utter mess. The QT toolkit has a regression where it doesn't respect the OS anti-aliasing setting (includes on Windows). Apps like browsers also ignore the OS settings and do their own thing where they use AA also even when you don't want them to (except for one).. then there is the mess that is fractional scaling that only KDE was able to manage, until very recently.. Gnome was all "you'll do blurry and like it because we are the experts!".. pfft. Whereas it all just works with Windows. AA setting is respected, all apps pay attention to the system, scaling works, etc. There's just minor stupid stuff around fonts in Linux too.. for example, if you want to know the version number of a font, you have to type an arcane string in the command line.. you can't just open or click on the properties of the file like you can in Windows.

Hardware issues.. other than the driver issues which are absolutely the manufacturer's fault, some of them can be a challenge.. on Windows if you want to change your refresh rate or define a custom resolution/refresh it's easy.. with Linux you have to faff about in the command line, etc.

Linux is a bridesmaid.

Most of these are not surprising but Mexico would be an interesting inclusion given their trade agreement with the US. [1] Is that deal falling apart or does this not create a conflict?

I've read about/had enough issues with NVidia drivers in the last couple of years I am willing to say AMD has effectively caught up in that regard

Why do you say in that regard but then not bring up any examples of that regard? I said AMD is terrible at emulation, VR, and AI. As far as I know everything else might be great. AMD has problems on Xenia, problems on RPCS3, glitches and degraded performance on CEMU, Yuzu, and Ryujinx. The 7000-series has so many problems running regular VR games there's a performance disclaimer on AMD's own site.

I say this as someone who really, really would like to buy a 7900XTX but can't because everything I'd actually want to use it for over my current Nvidia card is hamstrung.
I think that this kind of benchmarks should always be taken with a grain of salt, as anyone with some experience with benchmarks knows that there are many ways to distort the results.

Having said that, performance is a key feature for both languages and from what I can see the methodology seems legit.

I'd prefer to also have a C or C++ to use as a performance baseline and to get a clearer overall picture of where the current optimizers stands relative to each others.

Also, competition is good, I believe that we'll all benefit from it in the end, even if the heated debates and quasi-religious stances can be annoying, in the long run this is mostly noise.
I just bought it and am blown away. Thank you, sincerely, for your comment.
> The economics of service jobs make it an uphill battle for the employers to ever pay living wages.

This is simply not true. Starbucks has done great financially, and Howard Schultz has a net worth of $billions.
> It seems to me that a lot of desk jobs that feel like bullshit to the employee are really part of the nervous tissue of the organization, and the value they provide to the organization is still larger than the employee's salary

I'm not so sure that would actually count as a bullshit job in Graeber's eyes. He works towards a definition of a bullshit job over multiple pages. Here is a bit, I think, that would rule out the job above:

> This allows us to refine our definition. Bullshit jobs are not just jobs that are useless or pernicious; typically, there has to be some degree of pretense and fraud involved as well. The jobholder must feel obliged to pretend that there is, in fact, a good reason why her job exists, even if, privately, she finds such claims ridiculous. There has to be some kind of gap between pretense and reality. (This makes sense etymologically: “bullshitting” is, after all, a form of dishonesty.)

I read Bullshit Jobs and enjoyed it, yet it kinda nagged at me that I was missing the subtleness of the argument. I'm glad to see here that it hasn't crystalized for many others, too.

You absolutely must do this BEFORE any sort of revenue. It should be the first thing you do.

You need a company to own things, such as the IP (code, trademarks, website, customer lists), as well as being the thing to which revenue is paid. You'll also find you can't do most things without it (such as get a credit card, office lease, cloud discounts, etc).

Most importantly, suppose you have a cofounder break up when you have just started getting "good revenue" but haven't yet got a company. Who's is that revenue? Who owns the code you wrote? A complete mess.

> it can add the equivalent of C’s noalias all over the place

There's an open proposal to do this in Zig as well, with the ability to opt out at the individual parameter level (and with safety checks in debug builds).

Either way we can definitely thank Rust for blazing the trail. noalias in LLVM had never been stress-tested to that degree, and they were finding and fixing noalias-related optimizer bugs for years

Before cell phones were common, wrist watches were. Very few of them were water-proof, and very few people wanted them to be.

Yes, if you were stupid and went swimming with your wrist-watch you would've killed it... and every now and then I'd hear a story about how something like that happened.

Water-proof watches were seen as a luxury, however small, that nobody really needed outside of like scuba divers.

I don't even know if my phone is water proof or not, and I had it since 2016. I never tried swimming with it or leaving it outside in the rain or doing any of the other stupid things you listed... why would any sane person do something like that?
That's the urban attitude isn't?

When commuters weren't riding the LIRR the LIRR was complaining about how they'd go out of business if people weren't riding it. We exist to ride transit, transit doesn't exist to get us where we want to go.

On the other hand public transit companies don't get excited at all if you miss work because the bus didn't show up. I ride the bus most days and fortunately I am near the end of the line because frequently we get a minibus instead of a bus and the minibus fills up leaving passengers abandoned on the side of the road. You have no voice, they don't care. Loyalty only gets you so far. People exit by taking their car. This video points out the complete lack of a customer service attitude that causes public transit to languish

> If programmers paid half the attention their code deserves, I bet most of the software we use would be 2x faster, on average

I'm so sick hearing about "lazy devs." Because I was one! I left a programming career because JS is fun for me and I didn't want it to stop just being a fun hobby. (The money and prestige tricked me into thinking it was my life's calling.)

But I worked with many people who were way smarter and harder working. And we still had to ship shitty code sometimes. Money paid the bills, perfect code was a luxury.

There has to be an economic incentive for this to change. There's hundreds of millions of programmers but only a few dozen relevant tech CEOs.

Not all rose types smell as nice as others. There are countless types, all bred for specific characteristics over hundreds of years.

If one such characteristic is pleasant smell (and why would it not be), then the answer is obvious. By and large, roses smell nice because human bred them to.
Personally, I blame cities for refusing to build to accommodate the working population and for refusing to build out safe, inexpensive and comprehensive transit between homes, schools, and workplaces.

I think Nim looks good, but I'm more likely to learn Rust or Zig personally. I've tried to put my finger on why that is, and I think it's because Nim looks like another good language that is just good all around, it makes good trade-offs and finds a local optimum being good at everything. A lot of language have tried this though, I've seen it all before. Rust did something new, they accepted that "yeah, our language might be really painful to write your seat-of-the-pants business logic in" and they did the borrow checker stuff. Zig is similar, keeping many of the pains of C, but making some important improvements.
Yeah, I read the article hoping for some elaboration. After all, I doubt ANY of my past employers would have cared what was happening to the city around them if they were saving a few bucks. The author says:

“That’s all this is about. Your local government officials are pressuring CEOs to get butts in seats and your bosses want to walk around the office feeling like a God again watching their peons slave away in terrible conditions.”

Uuuuuugh the second point is so tired. But the first point is interesting… IF it’s true. Is there any evidence of this? Are local governments putting some kind of pressure on companies to go back to the office? I doubt there’s much to it, given the rest of this article turned out to be ranting.
