Never say never, but I don’t think it’s going to happen while Gabe is in charge
Oh cool, I’ll have to switch. I’ve been using Arc for a few months now and really like it, but would rather move away from chromium. I’d been using Firefox for years before that
My favorite project was C++; it was big, it was complicated, there was a massive team working on it, I got to work with high level abstractions while occasionally dealing with really low level concerns.
It was really hard, but now writing code in every other language I’ve worked in has been really easy.
When does something become mainstream? The Steam Deck has sold millions of units.
But guys, if we use agile then we don’t need requirements! We just make something and then the customers tell us if we are on the right track, we just get to iTeRaTe
I’m a software consultant and juggle multiple accounts without issue in Outlook. Whenever the authentication expires I have to sign in again in a bunch of places, but that only happens once a month.
Getting started is always the hardest part. Once you’ve done some good work you can start relying more on word of mouth and charge more.
I would recommend doing some small jobs on Fiverr or Upwork. Contracting isn’t for everyone, nor is running a small business. Fiverr and Upwork will be pretty disconnected from your local contacts so if you mess up or decide it’s not for you then it’s easier to leave.
Ultimately it’s networking, instead of rolling your eyes when an acquaintance has an app idea you can offer to help.
Right. There is no solution to the halting problem, that’s been proven. But you just showed you can very easily create a way of practically solving it. Just waiting for 10 seconds does it. That will catch every infinite loop while also having some false positives. And that will be fine in most applications.
My point is that even if a solution to the halting problem is impossible, there is often a very possible solution that will get you close enough for a real world scenario. And there are definitely more sophisticated methods of catching non-halting programs with fewer false positives.
A full solution to the halting problem can’t exist. But you can definitely write a program that will “reliably” detect them to a certain percentage.
And many applications do exactly that. Firefox asked me today if I wanted to stop a tab because it was processing for too long.

Hey guys, look at this light mode user! My wall is dark mode. 😎
In a serious note, a developer should be aware of how licenses work. Just copy pasting from Stack Overflow likely breaks the defaults license. You could open up yourself or your company to serious legal trouble. And it really isn’t ethical. I wouldn’t want code I shared in a certain context be stolen by a large corporation and make them money

Just don’t tell your Legal department.
There’s really good documentation out there and there’s bad/nonexistent documentation. So stackoverflow is going to be a more consistent experience.
Also I think it is a bit of a skill to be able to read documentation well, especially for Jr. Devs that might not have fully grasped OOP.
But I do. I really really do. I want Lemmy and the Fediverse to get more popular. I just don’t follow “Instagrammers” I’m not interested in. And there probably are people on Instagram I would be interested but have never heard about because I’m not on Instagram.
Regardless, we can always defederate and re-federate, doing it as a kneejerk reaction doesn’t make sense here.
Once I learned about http files I never went back. It’s so easy to share and use, I primarily use JetBrains but there are extensions for VSCode that do the same thing that I have used as well.
I’m unsure. A lot of people are saying yes, but they are also implying to do so preemptively which I don’t agree with. I would rather wait a few weeks and see what effect it has on this instance before making a decision.
That really depends on the culture of the company and your mindset. If you think it is going to be hell it is going to feel like hell.
You work more with people and less with computers, but ultimately you are still working on solving problems. Instead of inside code on a computer it is inside a team within a larger organization.

Maybe, maybe not. As equity holders get older they may be looking to cash out so they can fuel their retirements.
I don’t think that’s something Gabe is interested in, but we’re talking about what will happen when he dies.
