But have you heard of NixOS? In case you still have time left…

Haha. On a more serious note, it gets better over time. I recommend keeping a really functional programming style in Rust and only opt out to imperative programming, when it just makes sense (e.g. to optimize, avoid allocs etc.). I’d say Rust is currently my most productive programming language, because I mostly avoid the time-consuming debugging part due to the strictness.

Psst… Have you heard of Rust yet?

Which is true for most phones nowadays, as you’re basically talking about OLED.

Yeah I wish I could vote or have some influence over people who would vote for Trump or not at all. But I’m european, so I can mostly just hope that a large amount of muricans don’t fuck everything up…

4o is also not really much better than 4, they likely just optimized it among others by reducing the model size. IME the “intelligence” has somewhat degraded over time. Also bigger Model (which in tha past was the deciding factor for better intelligence) needs more energy, and GPT5 will likely be much bigger than 4 unless they somehow make a breakthrough with the training/optimization of the model…

For that he first has to lose the election. Because for whatever reason he is still allowed to run for presidency has a realistic chance of winning and can pardon him self. Damn Murica is so fucked. I wonder how they’re allowed to be called first world country with such a fucked political and jurisdictional system…

Well why would you expect them to adopt your perspective when you simply think they are stupid people who will believe anything.

Have I said such in my last comment? Also it doesn’t seem everything, the logical truth they often don’t accept because it doesn’t fit in their world-view.

You never understood what they are feeling and why, and why they are expressing it the way they are.

Btw. what I learned, this is really the main issue apart from emotions taking over rationality: not fitting in their world-view (also from research, my sister-in-law is researcher on this exact topic).

If you want to change their mind, build a connection with them.

Yep not gonna happen, tried, failed, talking against a wall is more effective… Also my worldview is so vastly on the opposed side of this spectrum, how should this ever work, bending my mind completely?? I’m not a rhetoric politician, nor even a very social person (especially when they’re the kind of people we’re talking about).

I just have to accept that there are a lot of idiots, or let’s be honest: mentally ill, promoted by our unhealthy society? Because conspiracy-theorists, I would say is at least some form of schizophrenia, narcissism is likely also playing a part.

Also just for my own mental health: Because having interactions with these people, having in mind that there’s a lot of similar ones, in effect screwing the world (climate-change etc. and yes it’s mostly the rich/controlling-class, but they’re often getting elected by these people). All of this is not good for (my) mental health…

It’s just sad, that it’s a realistic outcome that Trump could win this quite important election. I just can’t do much about it other than living the best of my life, and see how humanity is on a way to idiocracy (because climate-change and the resulting conflicts will very likely not help…). I really hope to be proved wrong, and that we somehow manage to fix this (mostly education and social anxiety) problem though…

No I didn’t really. Although one can always hope, to give them a new perspective (that is less based on hate and anxiety). It’s more about learning this screwed conception of the world, and the thought-process that e.g. “the elite” (which they ironically support) is against them, making everything worse.

Well and the fact that they make up their own construct of unlogical emotion(mostly negative)-based conspiracies, that even when falsified with simple arguments they can’t seem to get away of them…

I had rare occasions to (try to) discuss (constructively) with such people (or at least the equivalent here in europe). Honestly it’s a sad experience…

A very long time ago (> 10 years), I had also such experience with rednecks in the USA, which I’m pretty sure today would vote for Trump (maybe even be the spearhead of this kind of idiocracy). And yeah it’s these occasions where I loose faith in humanity. It’s … an … interesting experience, to witness such in-factual stubbornness based on hate and anxiety… I hope we’ll improve society especially with this in mind anytime soon, but I’m not too optimistic when thinking about all the changes that capitalism and technology (related to capitalism, like social-media) brings, and even now still accelerates…

Someone took it personal? Are you a brainless crazy Trump-supporter?^^

Don’t worry, I’m living somewhere completely different, it also gets worse here, with people increasingly supporting right-wing-populism. But I’m lucky to not even have remotely such people in my social circle. That’s probably why I have a hard time understanding such idiocracy…

Seemingly, it’s sad. I just cannot fathom this, to me when someone is repeating lies I just declare him idiot. What I find concerning is the level, i.e. they don’t accept logic facts and seemingly once that downward-spiral occured they cannot get out of their screwed conception of the world. I begin to “understand” why Nazis back then had success with what they did…

Yeah I know, but that doesn’t change the fact that there’s a significant amount of people missing a brain… Not that I can do anything about it. And it’s not that europe is way better in this regard with the rise of right-wing-populism (but Trump is just idiocracy level).

Republicans support Trump they were dead before that but now… Sorry I cannot remotely fathom a good conversation with these people. Trump is just the (current) tip of the iceberg…

Let it be 45%… What the fuck is wrong with a huge amount of muricans? Completely brain dead it seems…

I have hopes, that servo as a little more independent web engine, will thrive in the future

I mean at least the jobs that interest me often are also (full) remote, but I’m mostly interested in start-ups, they seem to be more open with it (and the job descriptions sound more interesting). I think Covid did its job there, unlike it seems for big tech?

I mean I can just take a job in the states, they pay quite a bit more there compared to Europe, and it can be even more targeted in the area of my interest (low-level stuff in Rust which pays even better than what I can find here)… Locally the jobs are pretty limited (at least those that interest me)… Everyone wants Java/C# or JS devs here (all languages I’ll try to avoid, and I suspect it has to do with maintaining old (tech-debt) code-bases which I try to avoid even more)… But I’m quite happy with my team currently and just have rant about JS everyday, but at least don’t have to maintain tech-debt (at least not something that I haven’t produced myself^^)… And I get great food for free… Hmm trade-offs.

I think it’s just to avoid explaining why, and how they harvest your data. That said, I also hate how a lot of errors of the big corpo are just like “This site has an error” no error-code, no further feedback what to do etc.

I guess ublock origin is doing wonders then, for me it’s still the same…
