That’s not even enough to get you a job these days.
You now have to use:

do {
    x = reinterpret_cast<int>(AI::Instance().ask("Do Something. Anything. Be efficient and productive. Use 10 tokens."));
} while (x != 10);

I remember the “abort on OOM” being one of the problems they had to do something about, because, while that was doable for embedded systems, it wasn’t really for Desktop.

I have been suggested alternative programs to install to work with Ctrl+r, which are supposed to work better, but I just end up using kwrite ~/.bash_history when Ctrl+r fails.

Yeah, it does tend to be hard to determine when to use () {} [] etc.
Even after I RTFM and used those in scripts multiple times, I tend to forget it by the time I need to implement something next.

In case of Arch, for bash, you have the bash-completions package, apart from which some program packages install their own bash completions.
Then there is also zsh-completions for zsh.

I remember having to install them separately, but maybe you know some package group that did it for you.

Thanks to you, I do now.
There seemed to be only 2 over here back when I was reading its news (oh and then a booster one that came later) and seemed like the more widely used ones were causing some blood clotting problems in some people.

OPs meme definitely gives off COVID vaccine vibes.
I wonder if its little problems have been fixed yet or are they still using the tried and tested (and failed testing with idk ~0.01%) formula.

I don’t know much to compare either, just did a quick search.
I might end up checking some out later when I start doing more stuff with Rust, but nothing for now.

Well, there’s already sax, xml-rs and rust-xml.
How many more do you want?

Better off giving more attention to those that already exist than making more rewrites.

Sure it is, but I don’t see a good enough replacement.
Although I have only used XML a couple of times, which were in other people’s projects, and considering their low complexity, they might as well have used JSON, XML does have a space where JSON is not good enough.

Considering that qt6-webengine also depends upon it, I guess someone will come and pick it up soon, or maybe they will just create an alternative?

Visual Studio Code

Yeah, that’s one that I can’t talk badly about.
While I have used MS Visual Studio and know how slow it was, I tried VS Codium once or twice and it worked pretty smoothly. Someone probably put quite a bit of effort into making it so.

Apart from Android Studio, which ended up not even starting up properly on the work computer, Gradle itself also takes quite a bit of time and resources. I was using the NDK with a C++ project and it took way longer to setup than any BSP, despite only being able to compile for a single version of Android.

android-studio : I guess that explains why it ran so badly back when I had to use it for work.
jdk wouldn’t be an Electron app, right?

discord is the only 1 of those that I used in any meaningful sense before and I already stopped using it for reasons other than Electron. So, I guess it’s just a personal thing that I don’t tend to require stuff that is made in Electron.

I’m not sure I know many Electron apps that are worth running.
There is WhatsApp, but I just run the browser version. For Matrix, there’s NeoChat, which uses QML and is definitely better than Electron.

I always care about how much memory I end up using.
Problem is, most places won’t pay for caring about that. Those that would, are doing so because they are using the product on their own systems instead of some customer’s systems.

Yeah I get your point now.
If the thing is indeed ingenuous enough, then the competitor can simply pay for reverse engineering.

programmers, and humans in general

With current levels of technology, they would require humans for maintenance.
Not because they don’t have self-replication, because they can just make that if they have a proper intelligence, but because their energy costs are too high and can’t fill AI all the way.

OK, so I didn’t think enough. They might just end up making robots with expert systems, to do the maintenance work which would require not wasting resources on “intelligence”.

But is all the code out there even worth putting in the effort?

I could go around fiddling with so/dll’s and ELF files to modify a game’s code, like a lot of modders end up doing, for games without modding support. But what would be the value of it unless I like the game enough to do so?

I don’t really think you will have enough people see your code, just because you put it on the internet.
I have uploaded quite a few things (some of them are even useful) and nobody really cares. Though they most probably just get bored and move onto other people’s profiIes, after starting with the useless ones.

Guess I’ll go reupload the code for my B.Tech project, which was too spaghetti, even by my standards.
