The reason young men flock to alt right MRA movements is because the left gives brain-dead advice to young men. We need to be more compassionate to them, for our own sake.
Early in my programming journey I really went down the OOP rabbit hole. Studied the GoF Design Patterns, SOLID principles, the quirks of multiple inheritance in C++, and so on.
Absolute slop.
Thank God I discovered FP afterwards.
@ravioli67@unrenormlizable@0xglitchbyte Yes and that's not going anywhere, so we should probably do something about it by making tools better, and that's exactly what Rust is aiming to achieve
Don't get me wrong I enjoy C a lot, but C gets praised for completely wrong reasons and C-defenders aren't that far from AI/cryptobros on the obnoxiousness scale. Regurgitating old memes while (intentionally) misunderstanding them doesn't make you look very convincing.
@ravioli67@unrenormlizable@0xglitchbyte We still have vulnerabilities discovered every year that could have been fixed in the 90s by smarter language design. It's not a skill issue, it's an ecosystem problem that costs billions of dollars every year yet some people still defend it just to feel better than everyone else
I have no idea why Windows is still a thing. Microsoft should just turn it into a Linux Distro with Wine as the standard library, dump shitload of money on the Wine devs to deal with all the shit and stop wasting everybody's time.
@endless_sine Btw I also really enjoy "Русское роле экспериментов" for three main reasons:
a) It's obscenely long > 10 min
b) Lyrics make no sense and complete sense at the same time
c) It has Bertrand Russell reference
