When you start a new programming language, look up on google images some pictures of the source code, so you have an idea of what coding in it looks like

>le wrong generation
All you missed out on was a couple years of inflated FAGMAN salaries in a tiny high cost of living area. There are still fun developer jobs, and if anything you can get WFH at small companies a lot easier if that floats your boat. Programming is still fun.

I've honestly never met someone like this at work. They mostly haunt free software IRC, I'm not even sure they're employed. I do tease my trans friend that she'd be better off as a catgirl developer however.

trvthnvke, same for me, it's a myth started by transhumanist unemployed ""coders"" to cope with the difference between their desire to be and belief that they are good coders, and the objective truth of the objective reality, by associating their apparel with
Most of xem i see online work in You'll Never Be A Real Programmer(tm) languages, like Python, JS, some Rustranshumanists too.

Great advice for the few Chads wishing to do compiled languages, but nowadays most is done in shiterpreted languages

>>25673
That's good advice if you want to write 20 lines in the language. OP mentionned he wants to be a software engineer, not a ""coder""" though. When you are engineering software, there is way more than just the syntax. You can't know the performance, ecosystem, use cases, job market situation, build system etc… from the syntax

>>18617
Learn C and Lisp. The former teaches you things about memory that most languages are unwilling to show you, the latter teaches you things about compilers that most languages aren't even remotely equipped to show you. If you can learn these two, you can learn basically any other language in existence.

I know a good number of trans programmers in real life who do good work. The internet is not real life.

they are desperate to make something from AI, sticking it in other products because no one cares about subscribing to a soulless chatbot.

unsurprisingly the only people excited about it and who use it heavily tend to be people who writes fucktons of word document shit, general office vomit full of summaries and bullet points and highlighted sections that nobody has the attention span to read, so they hand it off to another AI to make a tl;dr 2 sec version of it.
Eating it's own shit and shitting it out over and over.

>>27316
Much of this is just to maintain decorum; however, a counter-movement in favor of brevity would be of interest.

AI is literally the last frontier of silicon valley hypergrowth, because every other delusional concept that promised 1000x returns, big data, quantum computing, Web3.0, metaverse, etc turned out to be gigantic flops, in that sense I do think it's a worrying signal how much they're trying to push this as a replacement for all intellectual work when it's obviously not. I don't think there will be a silicon valley after ChatGPT goes bust, even with Trump at the helm facilitating tech sector scams.

AI will be exclusively for meme games such as AI Minecraft. No game engine behind the curtains, just the literal hallucination of a robot, as all meme games should be from now on.

>>27381
>promised 1000x returns
Seems like many of these companies are somehow better at building markets than revenue. One would expect the opposite. There's just so much hope in the future of technology broadly driving investment. Not that that's really any different from what you've said.

Personally I think this is bullish, I would invest in TSLA NOW, the understanding that the CyberTruck could explode in an accident adds an element of danger to driving one that is irresistible to the female gender, think of fighter pilots, astronauts, race car drivers. People are going to be begging to pay twice the sticker price just to get some of that sexiness now.


Guise, pls don't dump the stock, I put gram grams' inheritance into TSLA.

I would guess that's a single partition drive with MBR partition table.

> Create the only partition using full available space.
< The partition type for NTFS on a master boot record (MBR) is 0x07.

> Now WRITE your new MBR partition table with a single NTFS partition to the USB drive.

FreeBSD/OpenBSD are fantastic as a server OS. It's no larp

>>27206
NTA. My opinion is that if you have the time to learn a new OS and there are significant advantages to using BSDs over GNU/Linux distros then I have no reason to stop you from doing that. Either way, if you use GNU/Linux, BSDs, de-Googled Android or even 9front I consider you my ally.

>>27206
openbsd has shit virtualization, no cgroups (so no granular resource allocation), no containerization, nor anything you would actually expect from a modern server, not even load balancing. to say that it is good for servers in 2024 is a meme from people that saw someone repeat a talking point from the 90s and uncritically accepted it, because unknown thing must be good, am I right fellow imageboard users?

>>27208
Remember being pretty excited when vmm/vmd was released, and for a few OpenBSD releases there seemed to be pretty good progress made with it. Used OpenBSD for quite a while on my laptop, think what made it nice was the sane defaults and ease of configuration. You don't have to think about what virtualization or firewall solution you're going to use because you just use the one in the base system, and configure it slightly and intelligently for your use case. Lots of people even use CWM, xterm, and mg, or vi.

How does this compare to briar?

>>27029

"TorX" is a library, not the two proof-of-concept clients, so I'm not going to talk about "we have audio messages, but not voice chat and video chat" those features only exist or don't yet exist in the user interface, which is outside the scope of the library.

TorX, the library, supports P2P and group chats, and supports pushing any type of data, in the form of file transfers and custom protocols, over those connections to groups, individual peers (private messages), and individuals.

Regarding Briar:

So I haven't used Briar (it failed to install on my phone last time I tried), but based on my recollection of reviewing some of the source code and documentation, Briar is designed more with "resilience" in mind than anonymity. It's a P2P encrypted mesh network more than anything else, which is a cool concept aimed at developing countries.

However, they've taken a "kitchen sink" route of feature development, and developed everything in the user-land, so alternative clients (and desktop clients) lag vastly behind their "mobile first" clients. Their code-base is bloated and the underlying protocols are (as far as I can tell) not well separated.

My development method has been a focus on simplicity, separation, and non-redundancy to ensure auditability, both in the proof-of-concept UI layers and the library layer. (do one thing and do it well, at least in the library)

good job anon

>Single-use onions for friend requests (once you connect to your friend the first time, their onion gets destroyed and you both create fresh onions. This makes it safe to share friend requests over insecure methods like telephone, Twitter, etc, without the glowies being able to monitor them once your friend connects the first time)
Really interesting concept for a messaging app anon. I wonder if spinning up a lot of onions in that way would attract attention from the ISP or other threats.
>I'm currently the sole developer. I've reached a plateau where development is stable and so I'm looking for devs.
Imagine if 50 devs got involved and quickly got it operational and usable by normies.

>>27080
My new laptop finally arrived. No idea what to do. On the one hand for business applications, which do some of now, and might in the future, it's better. On the other hand am not used to it, and there is a requirement to run Linux for grad-school. Wouldn't know how to pick a distribution at this point either. Seems like there are multiple which are pretty good for software development (e.g. gentoo, nix, guix, etc.)

>>27156
If you know how to use a chroot to get software targeting "desktop linux" to work, pick your favorite distro that works on the hardware. Otherwise you should probably go with debian.

>>27157

hah, not familiar, think have run chroot before though… Now that think of it not sure even feel up to setting up a new PC at the moment…

90% of proprietary software with a linux port only tests on ubuntu and often expects systemd, dbus, etc. to be present.
>there are multiple which are pretty good for software development (e.g. gentoo, nix, guix, etc.)
Good for software development doesn't mean le hacker distro. It means software you need for development is already pre-packaged, which is nearly always the case on debian.

>>27163
>90% of proprietary software with a linux port only tests on ubuntu and often expects systemd, dbus, etc. to be present.
It's been awhile, last heard Ubuntu was due to be phased out for PopOS! due to the Canonical Amazon deal, or something of the like. Guess shouldn't be surprised about what you're saying anyway.

>It means software you need for development is already pre-packaged, which is nearly always the case on debian.
That's fair, and Devaun (as the distro still run on my non-Mac laptop) is most familiar to me.
