I’ve been a long time believer that some problems are better solved via OOP, others through functional programming. The perfect language would be a successful blend of the two.

Many popular OOP languages are horribly lacking on FP or it looks like an eyesore (golang, python, etc). …and FP languages trying to do OOP are kinda awkwards (see common-lisp).

I thought Crystal Lang (a statically type checked dialect of Ruby) was going to be the “perfect language”… but the compile time performance and the lack of 3rd party libraries (like an aws SDK) really made it hard to use.

Hearing what you said about Rust has renewed my hope.

That said, I did notice that features like Coroutines have been “experimental” for nearly 9 years.

I hope I’m missing something obvious, but how would you create any sort of heavy-lifting, long running, multi-session daemon/application without having some sort of asynchronous mechanism that goes beyond threading (which is limited to the number of cores the host machine is running).

edit: cleaned up a few thoughts (prematurely hit submit)

You’re right. I was thinking of shared_ptr (it’s been a blissful long while since I’ve dived deep into C++ stl and boost)

edit: a word

C++ is useful for learning object oriented programming: Describing what really happens in constructors and destructors, the pros/cons of reference counting and how it actually works (using std::unique_ptr)

These are things that most modern languages try to hide/abstract away, but the underlying problems and limitations never go away, but with C++ you’ll have a better understanding of why they happen.

However, if you go down the rabbit hole of Template Metaprogramming, I agree with the original post: it takes decades to learn and really only useful exploitable in C++.

Something like No Man’s Sky would really be a better genre to fit into Star Trek’s “seek out new life and new civilizations” mantra.

I wasn’t certain what the bitwarden clients were licensed under.

…but if they’re all GPL, then yeah - it’ll just get forked. Just like terraform vs opentufu. Just like MySQL vs MariaDB - it’s a tale as old as time (unfortunately).

Narrator: …but it did.

I’m amazed that vaultwarden has maintained such fantastic compatibility with bitwarden. …but all it takes is one api with an obfuscated “signed request” to bring it all down.

Pro-tip: Depending on the country you moved to and if your child has U.S. citizenship, you can file for a Child Tax Credit and get up to $2200 per child per year.

Has anyone found an effective way to pair-up and “learn” the syntax faster/better compared to not using AI?

I’ve written a lot of code in the past, but recently started doing more with golang… and have been using AI for an assist, but at the end of the day (and enough reiterations) - it creates readable and maintainable code. But (unfortunately), I don’t think I could rewrite it.

I was contemplating seeing how I could change my workflow, so I’d write the code, but AI would offer fast guidance.

Thanks for sharing links to this project.

I’ve always been kind of curious, why their wasn’t an OSS possibility to “download” chunks of aggregated search content.

I know that technically it would be a challenge, but forcing crawler after crawler to fetch the exact same content (again and again), is also rather inefficient.

Now, we need a browser extension that can do this in real-time.

I completely agree.

…and as soon as OpenNIC takes their SSL/TLS Cert generator out of experimental and into something stable - we can start.

Privacy concerned people can start to rebuild the internet based on the original principles of “sharing information and ideas”, rather than " maximizing engagement ".

I am curious to see if/how this’ll open up some android devices.

…and Big Tech (there user tracking/profiling becomes much more valuable when there is a real name associated with it).

I completely agree - I’m even dreading installing updates, wondering: “oh, what features will I lose now? What additional AI harvester will be installed? Why am I not allowed to turn this off?”

AI of course /s

Yeah, I’ve got a custom domain and have zero problems making github accounts.
