There’s also the issue of reddit comment sorting being entirely dominated by time. In something like 90% of posts, the top comment is one of the first five. Literally all you have to do is just comment first, and it’ll likely be the top.

It’s some extremely shady google spyware that seems impossible to remove if you use google services.

Garbage collection is by nature imperfect, its impossible for it to always be correct about when and what things to free up in memory. The best option is to not use a garbage collected language.

After working in java for over a decade, I will never use another garbage-collected language if I can avoid it again. I still have nightmares about debugging memory build-ups and having to trace down where to do manual garbage collection. I remember my shop eventually just paid for 32 GB ram servers, and java filled those up too.

Rust doesn’t have these problems because its not a garbage collected language like java or go, and has an ownership-based memory model that’s easy to work with.

I also was a professional java dev, and also had to use spring boot in most corporate environments.

I don’t wanna knock anyone’s re-write, because I know how difficult it is to dissuade someone when they’re excited about a project. But to me, starting a new project or doing a rewrite, is the best opportunity to learn a newer, better language. We taught ourself Rust by coding lemmy, and I recently learned Kotlin / jetpack compose because I wanted to learn android development. Learning new languages is not an issue for most programmers; we have to learn new frameworks and languages every year or so if we want to keep up.

This is potentially hundreds of hours of wasted time that could be spent on other things. Even if someone absolutely hates Rust and doesn’t want to contribute to the massive amount of open issues on Lemmy, there are still a lot of front-ends that could use more contributors.

Thx for this, I took care of em. Keep reporting these scammers in the future and we’ll get to it as soon as we can.

Your entire post history is just defending facebook.

Yall remember that time Facebook did an internal study of the massive psychological harm it and instagram was causing teen girls, then kept it secret and did nothing about it?

I develop thumb-key, so it’s maintained.

Me getting ideas from this thread

Done.

Unfortunately not surprised to see some unironic /r/asablackman going on here.

Sry I’ve been an absent mod here. Would anyone like to help mod this community?

I’ve also added a no-racist terms rule to the sidebar.

Beautiful.

I code from my android tablet nowadays, but I really really miss cool-retro-term.

It’ll be natural that a lot of instances will block these ad-ridden for-profit ones. A legal solution isn’t necessary IMO, nor is trying to add a bunch of complication and process around “accepting terms” of instances you don’t want to federate with. Allowlists and blocklists already work fine for that.

I wouldn’t be opposed, if people wanted to pick a date in advance. We don’t have much time, but it’d probably be beneficial.

Nice little short from citizenfour on linkability.

I recently finished the book bad blood, about the theranos saga. They also had a general, James Mattis on their board of directors. Not to mention close ties with Henry Kissinger and the Obama administration.

Its doing a good job of raising all our rents too that’s for sure.
