"It's so easy to compile C/C++ apps on Linux"

"Just run make install"

"If it doesn't work, fuck you, it worked on my machine"

Hm. I've always found it harder to compile stuff on Windows.

[–] onlinepersona@programming.dev 17 points 6 days ago (6 children)

Oh, my comment was more that compiling C/C++ apps on any platform is shit. Windows may be the worst to compile on, but Linux is only marginally better.

Rust is amazing though.

I'm starting to think the platforms aren't the problem.

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 6 days ago

Okay that's fair. I fricked around with some C++ numerics BLAS header library (I think it was Eigen) on Linux before that was complicated and annoying too. The ARM Fast Models simulator was also a pain. Maybe I just don't like C++ development now that I think about it.

C mostly worked okay for me though.

I keep seeing complaints from non JavaScript developers about their IDE not handling millions of files in a folder properly

Then marketing comes around, asks to add google tag manager, and proceeds to make the client download 10TB of tracking librairies.

At least node_modules don't directly impact the browser.

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The tag manager ones always have console errors too lol

Even if you rawdog the internet with no ad blocker. Actually, especially if you do that.

Depending on the design of its memory, a device with a full drive will literally weigh slightly more or slightly less than one with an empty drive. Charging the battery in all cases causes it to weigh more.

How did you get permission from the elders to take a picture of it?

[–] bartvbl@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Is it even plugged in? I don't see a wire.

[–] andyburke@fedia.io 14 points 6 days ago

lol at 3/4 of a megabyte of Vue components being ok and thinking node_modules is the issue at hand.

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

A package manager that does hard-linking helps.

I feel like every time I've suggested pnpm I got eyerolls :(
