Published something that seems to work, though the free models are too weak to run it consistently.
Think need subagents to prevent from maxing out the context window too soon.

Why would you reply to someone's love letter to their favorite shitty outdated language with a totally low effort shill for your favorite shitty outdated language? Literally nobody uses Ada except wannabe glowy contractors in DoD funded wage cages, and even they're moving to Rust. Also generics in Ada are complete ass (explicitly instantiated lmfao) so I have no clue why that'd be your showcase feature of choice.

>>34369
Because i agree with everything that anon said, except that Pascal ever was ready for general use. Luckily Ada, Delphi or even Modula are similar enough in syntax and spirit.

Tbh learning the syntax of a language is mostly trivial, books involve frameworks and IDEs and shit because if you’re learning to program for a job then the experience you’ll be asked to demonstrate will revolve around the environment since that’s a much larger information space than language syntax.

That being said, probably best to just read books on specific kinds of programming concepts (commonly recommended is Data Structures and Algorithms, but think networking or multiprocessing or operating systems) rather than general language books to gain the knowledge you seek.

i don't know if i would call it a love letter, just an explanation of why pascal is a good teaching language for novice programmers. obviously it's not the most useful or flexible language and it has a lot of annoying limitations that c/c++ doesn't have especially ansi standard pascal and it only really became a useful practical language through non-standard extended dialects such as turbo pascal/delphi/freepascal, but for someone who knows nothing about programming its easier to start with pascal than it is to start with c or c++ and get bogged down in all the various quirks and gotchas of those languages, especially c++ which is just footgun city.

>>34370

delphi and pascal are the same thing, delphi is just the name of borland's later pascal dialect which succeeded turbo pascal. and pascal/delphi are still used quite heavily today believe it or not, particularly in eastern europe. pascal was huge in the eastern bloc due to being taught extensively in public schools and institutes in the ussr, and borland turbo pascal was extremely cheap and also very easy to pirate and it ran on a single floppy disk and could compile code very fast on a shitty cheap IBM PC clone with no hard drive, so pascal sort of became the lingua franca of eastern european programmers.

It's also like yeah, you think people making these shit flyers are smart enough to put "Bauhaus" in the prompt?

our whole western society already applies this sort of deliberate obtuseness with all kinds of things, not just with software. i'm sorry that's just our company policy, i'm just doing my job sir, that's not my prerogative, you'll have to fill out a lost baggage form i would be happy to direct you to our website, if you are having a problem with your life support machine press 9, lots of people get sick we can't shut the country down for that, the two-year window for negotiation has closed, the president was just exercising his right to free speech, there is no such thing as society and no government can do anything, there are known knowns and known unknowns and there are also unknown unknowns, that all depends on what the word "is" is, what i have here in my hand is a snowball from just from outside here, my friends and i drank beer and we liked beer and i still like beer, a picture may be worth a thousand words but sometimes it takes a thousand words to explain a picture, if the glove doesn't fit you must acquit, and isn't this really an indictment of our entire society?

Can't make this shit up.

i dont get these stupid ass reservation bots, shopper bots, etc.
like people love shopping, why would they automate what's effectively a recreational activity? and it's not like normal-ass people make reservations every weekend, let alone every day for it to be a significant annoyance. these things are literally made in a bunker by rich people, for rich people.

they just have to appeal to finance exec freaks so they get another morbillion dollars of investment, not actually have utility for people

I was following him on Twitter for a while because of his dumb takes, but I had to stop because it stopped being funny after a while.

any of these people who take it upon themselves to try to become some kind of extremely-online micro-celebrity armchair journalist crusader constantly seeking conflict and controversy are fucking crazy, normal people who value their sense of self don't act that way and don't feel comfortable reinventing themselves as some kind of superhero character that completely eclipses their actual selves and turns them into some kind of one-dimensional entity rather than a human being.

Looks like Every Single Tech company is going to copy Google's pixel 10a design which has an exploding battery and literally sell remote bombs to consumers which could detonate after bitcoin saturated consumers in China reveal their new remote killing system a purposefully made backdoor into the device to kill evil white men.

Ah, good shout. Need to toss some money their way, probably for Uhbik 2.

the packages that require lv2 list is a nice catalog of arch linux plugin packages
i recommend calf, distrho-ports, x42-plugins, and eq10q

You're always gonna suffer if you're trying to replicate professional audio workflows on linux. For basic MIDI sequencing and recording (muh real hardware synths autism) I use Muse because sequencing on Ardour used to suck even more. Made a lot more tracker music (mostly 4 channel mods in milkytracker, some in schism). I want to try out Radium, it's a tracker inspired DAW that's free if you build from source. Total spaghetti clusterfuck shitshow codebase with a bundled python2.

>>34382
Not much suffering since Pipewire came out. And even before then, JACK was probably alright. And I'm fine with the smaller plugin ecosystem, especially since my favourite synth, Vital, is Linux native anyways.
>because sequencing on Ardour used to suck even more
For me, it's alright since I found out how to open the piano roll window. Still a little awkward workflow wise, but eh. https://manual.ardour.org/working-with-midi/pianoroll-window/

>>34384
The suffering was never in the audio server. JACK on alsa plus realtime kernel was always amazing compared to windows. The moment you go for anything under wine whether it's plugins or DAW it's a bad time. The new pianoroll looks good in Ardour, but that wasn't there when I was shopping around for a DAW. I also prefer to have a grid sequencer for my drum machine as well.

Just use any fucking deegoogled rom (or degoogle your stock rom) like Lineage encryption and SD card (don't get a fucking Pixel or something retarded) and keep anything important there.

Cool, I thrust the Ceeceepee more than the NSA, worse case scenario I get targeted ads on aliexpress.

If you want to understand why certain products are constantly shilled in the "privacy community," you need to know Grapheneos' financial ties. The principle is quite simple: everyone listens to what Grapheneos has to say; Grapheneos is the ultimate authority in the privacy community. If Grapheneos says, "Mullvad is the best VPN," then this wisdom is regurgitated by everyone, whether on Reddit, X, 4chan, YouTube, etc. But why does Grapheneos recommend certain products/companies? Because they are sponsored by certain companies, meaning they are financially dependent on them.

kojima was so right when he made sokolov explain that the space race was downstream from the cold war arms race

China's space program has successfully recovered a reusable rocket (the CZ-10B "Long March") for the first time, using a novel method where they catch it with a net.

I can't say too much, but if you ever meet somebody of rocketlab, do me a favor and punch them in a coma.

das ist alles absicht. das ganze geschäftsmodell der mastodon gmbh (die übrigens nicht gemeinnützig ist) beruht auf maximaler intransparenz. es gibt faktisch nur das offizielle mastodon netzwerk, das um mastodon.social kreist und von eugen rochko und seinen lakaien kontrolliert wird. alles andere sind absolut irrelevante und schrottige sekten, die vom hauptnetzwerk isoliert sind.

das schlimmste an mastodon ist nicht mal, dass es absolut leer an kreativen inhalten und eine radikal links-liberale echokammer ist. man kann mit niemanden diskutieren, ohne sofort gemeledet und gebannt zu werden. ich habe es wirklich versucht und mein power level versteckt. geht nicht. diese leute haben null ambiguitätstoleranz.

MASTODON IS ASS.

Gargamel is no longer the boss of Mastodon? I've been out of the loop for like five years
also my experience over the last 10 years or so of ActivityPub, and StatusNet before that, is that full centralization (ála Signal) or full decentralization (ála Briar) are infinitely preferable to federation

Yes? And? How is this news? No one ever claimed otherwise? This was the same for bbforums, what is the problem?

Prediction: Disroot email is next.

This guy seems to take everything at face value but atleast in their policies they claim to be against military actions and cryptocurrency (which would go against what they got taken down because of) but as I said it (was) probably there as a front to not get taken down
I remember some MLM org here using it but they switched to an independent? site.

Should online leftist publications get OpenNIC and/or onion domains? Or go back to physical zines and newspapers? Though I don't prefer the latter option since the internet obviously makes stuff infinitely more accessible.
