I had a similar conception of software development when I was a beginner programmer. It's a valid query and it deserves a serious answer
The short version is: there is no upper limit to how difficult or time-consuming a bug can be to fix

Or is this completely the wrong way to think about it? Am I missing something? Tbh I have never dug deeply into cmake but kinda just wing it when assembling projects. It feels like it should be much easier than it actually is and the few tutorials I've seen haven't helped.
---- #cplusplus rant -----
Why are build systems in C/C++ so darn terrible??? Somebody should've come up with something better yesterday. I can't believe in a world with so many geniuses nobody has gotten around to improving this.
Anybody know intuitive alternatives to #cmake?
For example, why is it that if I search for "how to generate a build with different CMakeLists.txt files" I get a bunch of irrelevant pages on Google? Is there no simple way of building with different files like CMakeLists{1-10}.txt? (I.e 10 for 10 sub-components of a project)
@the_aiju I actually think it's somewhat of a myth that the unethical behavior we see in tech stems from lack of ethical understanding but rather financial incentives which override the ethical considerations.
You know what the problem is? Most of us Linux nerds don't understand what "choice anxiety" is and want to present new Linux users with an exhaustive list of distros and desktop environments rather than a pragmatic list of two or three that work well for new users.
@FreyaHolmer @fitbit However, you don't actually need the emulator running on the computer (although that might end up being easier) but you could use their Device+Companion API to transfer the data from the fitbit to your phone and then to your computer: https://t.co/vJKmNHHRjY
@FreyaHolmer @fitbit So, I'm having a look at their docs and sadly it seems like there is no way of getting around the fact that you need a smartphone as an intermediary between the fitbit and the computer running OBS (unless we reverse engineer fitbit's binary format for sending the encrypted data).
@FreyaHolmer @fitbit actually, seems like somebody managed to do it using the fitbit SDK but unfortunately hasn't shared the code so you might have to re-figure it out: https://t.co/Wi5VQSx2qg
It illustrates the present, actually. And that's why we need peer review w/ journals and conferences and not validation of 'whatever goes viral on Twitter'.
