    Is this PsyOps to keep people discouraged?

    The OP has a point and for some reason you don’t like it. I wonder which of the people you’d be in this analogy.

    I understand feeling angry and dejected, but if you act like there’s absolutely no hope, then there won’t be. Votes still matter in this country. Maybe they’re not counted in exactly the way you’d like, but they’re still important, and they make a difference.





  • Many years ago I was dual booting Linux and Windows XP. I was having issues with the Linux install, and decided to just reinstall. It wasn’t giving me the option to reinstall fresh, only to modify the existing install.

    So I had the bright idea to just rm -rf /

    Surely it’ll let me do a fresh Linux install then.

    Immediately after hitting enter I realized that my Windows partitions would be mounted. I did clearly the only sensible thing and pulled the plug.

    I think I recovered all of my files. Kind of. I only lost all the file paths and file names. There was plenty to recover if I just sorted though 00000000.file, 00000001.file, 00000002.file, etc. Was 00000004.file going to be a Word document or a binary from system32 directory? Your guess is as good as mine!




  • I am a dev, but not a Rust dev.

    Rust, Go, and C# look like the future to me. Everyone is moving to strongly typed, explicitly typed languages for a reason.

    Rust is as fast as it gets, and much much safer and easier than C or C++ at the cost of slightly odder syntax than higher level languages.

    Microsoft has done great things with C# and open source and multi-platforming. It’s the easiest, quickest, safest way to develop business applications. The performance is really pretty good until you compare it to Rust.

    Go is between the two, but probably a little closer to Rust.

    Other languages will stick around the same way Fortran has still been in use despite being deprecated for 30 years. But really nobody should be developing anything new in PHP.
