The real reason, of course, is big tech spearheading a movement toward absolute control over people.

Reaction/comments to Cloudflare CTO's question on why no ones's using Django in c/python@programming.dev
[–] refalo@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I've been a developer for 30 years, and used django for the vast majority of the last 15 years of backend dev work. It's familiar, comfortable and capable, and I don't have any real major complaints. No customer has ever complained about it either.

just as many people accept windows being shit

or maybe most people don't actually have problems, and it's only a small vocal minority that really has huge complaints?

There is no proof they used an LLM. Plus, LLMs are trained on human text anyway, who actually talk like this... it's not like LLMs invented their own way of speaking.

Would you have preferred no apology at all?

Just curious, what could they have possibly done instead that would satisfy you?

Given the recent uproar about AI usage in rsync a PSA: maintainers owe you nothing in c/opensource@programming.dev

I don't consider those purely protest forks in the same sense as say, the GIMP fork called Glimpse.

Protest forks never survive though. They always start overly ambitious and then realize how much of a full-time job it really is, and eventually give up.

If status is modified in another thread you could have a race condition with method 1 because you're checking it twice. The two methods are not exactly the same code due to that. If you want to mimic the case statement of method 2, change the second if in method 1 to an elif.

Do you really think

Yes, yes I do. They know you can't control everyone. And Linux is a rounding error in the context of desktop market share. They don't care about it, and everyone else is "good enough."

ICPP – Running C++ in anywhere like a script (github.com)
 

Interpreting C++, executing the source and executable like a script.

  • Writing powerful script using C++ just as easy as Python;
  • Writing hot-loading C++ script code in running process;
  • Based on Unicorn Engine qemu virtual cpu and Clang/LLVM C++ compiler;
  • Integrated internally with Standard C++23 and Boost libraries;
  • To reuse the existing C/C++ library as an icpp module extension is extremely simple.

There is also a Qt helper module: https://github.com/vpand/icpp-qt

403 on API endpoints (lemmy.readme.io)
 

Tried to use several different API endpoints as described in the link, but they all return 403 with a cloudflare "Just a moment..." html reply. Even tried copying an existing jwt token from a working logged-in browser but the same thing still happens.

Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

curl -v --request POST \
     --url https://programming.dev/api/v3/user/login \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '{"username_or_email": "redacted", "password": "redacted"}'

Some comments not appearing? (programming.dev)

I am noticing that some comments, which are coming from users on other verified (via /instances) federated instances, do not show up on a post. For example: https://programming.dev/post/13648105

Does not show this comment on it: https://lemmy.ml/comment/10803786

Any ideas why? I checked the modlog and the comment wasn't removed, and their post history to me does not look like someone that is likely to be banned from the instance, so I'm not sure what else it could be.

Is there a way to view the frontpage of another server, or get an RSS feed of another server's single community? (programming.dev)
 

My lemmy account is on the programming.dev instance but I use newsboat for RSS reading of some lemmy.ml communities, along with browsing the local homepage of lemmy.ml and some other instances in a regular browser. Is there a way to do either of these things from the programming.dev instance so that I can easily comment on posts without having to manually locate the same post by browsing to /c/foo@lemmy.ml on my own instance?
