And they say English is bad
  • I mean this is subjective. Asian languages let you play with words freely. When you don't need agreement of verbs and subjects and nouns, you get to make a lot of puns and other kinds of wordplay. See Malay pantuns.

    And they say English is bad
  • On top of that the grammar is far more regular than whatever bullshit the European languages have. The ber- prefix is always ber-. If you are talking about the past you say sudah instead of juggling with the verbs. No sing-sang-sung do-did-done and all that irregular stuff.

  • I know plumbers who make $250k/year.

    And there are college graduates making 90k/yr in the US. That's why I said efforts are not being compensated properly. The fact that other trades are earning more does not affect this conclusion, think about it more.

    Imagine basing your judgement on generational stereotypes. Oh no, millennials. Oh no, Gen Z. Oh no, it must be facebook. What other contributional points can you guys provide?

  • learning in college isn't a requirement for success

    Why don't you tell that to the HR departments then? Oh I feel bad for your generation - when basic critical thinking doesn't exist.

  • Are they? Or is it because everyone knows their efforts are not compensated properly?

    If you want people to not be lazy, pay them. You pay 10 dollars, you get 10 dollars of effort. Blindly labelling this as being lazy is quite a... hear this, a lazy way of thinking. Heh. Millions are studying in university to get a job, I would say that they are working really hard! But are their efforts reciprocated properly?

  • What's stopping you from being rich?

    Let's say this is right. Then you should try to explain this: Why are most people not rich?

    Did everyone just collectively decide "nah I want to be poor, be stressed and live paycheck to paycheck"? No, of course they don't. No one does.

    Your logic is idiotic because you don't realize the rich became rich by exploiting other people, namely the working class.

  • Even those people needed others' work to start their own company my dude. The chips in Apple computers or servers that Google relied on didn't grow on trees. Not to mention that the billionaires you mentioned were educated.

    Guess who funded their education. Either directly or indirectly.

    You have 1 wish...
  • A few circumstances to consider...

    If it's just your own little tool and you don't intend to share it with others: do whatever you want. SQL or NoSQL or JSON, it doesn't matter. Use your own judgement.

    In my experience tho most homegrown JSON-based "databases" tend to load all data into the memory, simply because they are very simplistic (serialize everything into JSON and write to disk, deserialize everything into a struct). If your dataset is too big for that, just go straight for a full-fledged database.

    Unity will start charging developers each time their game is installed
  • This comment section has you covered: to bankrupt a small game company, let's reinstall the games numerous times!

    Also, their previous monetization methods are already proportional AFAIK.

    Google Chrome now targets ads based on your browser history, here's how to turn that off
  • A website should be universal and not dependent on what browser you are using. I say that but we are all suffering from Chromeitis just like Internet Exploreritis in the 2000s...

    Web devs never learn.

    Huawei's New Mystery 7nm Chip from Chinese Fab Defies US Sanctions
  • Doesn't seem like it. The chip supports SMT aka hyperthreading with 8 cores and 12 threads, which is not something you see on a typical mobile ARM* SoC.

    edit: I missed a word.

    Anon has Photoshop class
  • GIMP 2 is utter dogshit in terms of user experience.

    GIMP 3, the version that is supposed to make everything easier, hasn't been released yet. ^(it's been years and I have given up hoping)

    The situation sucks, but there aren't that many developers working on GIMP in the first place. Certainly not as many as Photoshop.

    PipeWire 0.3.77 Released
  • Is it because of missing firmware? From the Arch wiki on ALSA:

    sof-firmware is required for some newer laptop models (mainly since 2019) because they implement their drivers with firmware provided by the Sound Open Firmware project.

    Why do they keep making new languages
  • Oh yeah, I get all of those, because I am a Rust programmer myself who hates OOP. :D

    I raised the topic up only because of how people were talking about "the ultimate language with everything".
