Full stack developer and privacy advocate. I like to keep the mentality, if you can program one language well, then you can program in any language!
Yeah,
I did a speed test comparison between Oracle MySQL and MariaDB MySQL,
MariaDB is about 10 times faster.
FYI: When Oracle bought MySQL a lot of developers left and created MariaDB, so the brains behind the project moved, and in the meantime Oracle did a great job of fucking things up.
You’ll run into that on many distros,
not only Debian, since most of the distros use a specific python version for OS packages, its recommended to leave the python for your OS unchanged.
But VirtualBox is not a good idea either.
Instead use a venv (virtual environment),
which is the python way to develop/run under different python versions.
By not accepting your time estimate,
requesting your reasoning why it takes that long, you explaining you calculated time in for refactoring, then rejecting your idea and granting you only time to implement the new thing, without granting time for refactoring.
And dw, my project manager is a pretty chill friend and fellow senior developer, who is reasonable and helps me with calculating in time for refactoring whenever possible/nessecary.
It’s only higher up, CEOs/management, who seek to cut corners, with rocks for brains, who don’t see that in the long run such practices are bad for business.
Which sadly is the case for most IT businesses. But at least in my workplace the project manager is not a rat & on the side of the developers.
Just increase your time estimate,
calculate in the time needed to refactor,
but don’t tell them you’re gonna refactor.
Works out most of the time.
Only when they ask why the estimate is so long, then you explain your reasoning behind it, and then they might reply with your statement and block your refactoring idea.
However, getting time to refactor most of the time, is aleady way better then never being allowed to do so.
Vibe Coding: To generate AI slop code without understanding, nor manually reviewing/altering said generated slop.
It literally means, produce low-quality work.
Perhaps Monero bounties has something?

You can get paid in XMR for helping the community build tools that help the ecosystem.
That would be an anti-virus… x)
Since it would remove spy-ware from your computer.
Correct, ChatGPT is proprietary spyware.
If the interface would support self hosted (local/offline) LLMs, then I’m sure people would be much more interested.
Wikiless?
The original project was taken down by Wikipedia, but this appears to be an active fork of it:

Legacy software still requires maintenance.
Legacy dependencies still require to be used in new projects.
Dual booting multiple times a day is not feasible.
For those reasons none of my co-workers can fully switch to Linux.
I write PHP on the daily and don’t understand the hate it gets :/
At least I can work on Linux at home while my co-workers are stuck on Windows with their C#
WASM projects can be open source,
just like Android apps can be.
However in both instances the compiled versions of it are not easily readable.
Also you can validate binaries against a shasum to ensure no tampering has happened with them.
WASM = WebAssembly,
this has nothing to do with Java,
but with JS (JavaScript).
JS works with JIT (Just In Time) compilation, meaning every user that requests a web page, will request the JS and your browser will compile that JS on the fly as you request it.
WASM on the other hand is pre-compiled once, by the developer, when he/she is making the code. So when a user requests a WASM binary, they don’t have to wait for JIT compilation, since it was already pre-compiled by the developer.
They only have to wait for a tiny piece of JS,
which is still JIT compiled,
a tiny piece of JS to load in the WASM binary.
This saves the user from waiting on JIT compilation and thus speeds up requesting web pages.
WASM also increases security,
since binaries are harder to reverse engineer then plain text JS.
Due to those reasons,
I believe WASM will be the future for Web development.
No clue why people are hating on WASM,
but I guess they just don’t grasp all of the above yet.
TLDR: But-hurt C++ dev has a hard time accepting that his favorite language is not memory safe.
Gitea is not really recommended anymore these days, due to being taken over by a for-profit comany + introducing a paid tier.
Nowadays Forgejo is the project to look at.
Well, the post was about copilot,
so that’s what my comment was about.
But I agree, fck all big-tech software.
If it’s not produced by a non-profit as open source, then it’s not worth your time.
(Due to anti-consumer practices, spy-ware/telemetry or vunerabilities to worry about)
Not on my machine. Or at least, I do everything humanly possible to limit it.
Either through:
I don’t expect everyone to become a privacy expert though.
However I do believe systematic privacy is important, and that we should aim for better privacy laws to keep the intellectual property of the average user safe.
Now they can also train their gray area trained model (trained upon our Github projects without consolidating with us if it was alright to do so) further!
By spying on every command you type in your CLI, and phoning home to MS about it, to train it further.
I guarantee you,
If you use it, you’ll be their free training monkey.
And once they used you for free,
and the product improved enough,
they’ll subscription charge you forever to make use of it.
Oh misread my bad,
not much experience with PostgreSQL
