The Syntax do be Lknda tricky, but its a great language with lots of great high level functionality. I can not really say anything about Go, since I never used or even read it.

Europe@feddit.org•365-metre giant: World's tallest wind turbine built in GermanyEnglish
8·8 days agoAs someone who comes from an area, that houses some of the biggest offshore wind farms in Europe I can only laugh about people complaining about how ugly wind turbines are. Its just a matter of getting used to it. Here when you drive the right roads at night you can see hundreds of turbines blinking simultaneously. Luckily they realised, that its kind of not necessary for the turbines to blink the whole night, so newer turbines don’t blink continuously.
Oh yeah, that’s also always nice. I got unholy amounts of non existing/working Parameter Expansions from Various LLMs and it also kept hallucinating ways to “pipe” parameter expansions into each other.
I really like when LLMs invent new Bash Syntax.

Absolutely. Its not always possible to write self explantory code. Especially when you have to use some narly uncommon Syntax a short comment can improve the readability Quite a lot. Personally I like to comment my Parameter Expansions in Bash, since I find its Syntax quite hard to remember and therefore it can be a little bit challenging to infer the functionality just by looking at a bunch of special characters.

2·15 days agoPersonally I can highly recommend combining emacs orgmode with LaTeX. It gives you the full power of LaTeX, but without having to deal with all of its ins and outs just for basic text formatting.

1·15 days agoI’m not saying there’s nowhere left for tech to improve, especially in the medical and biotech space, but in the consumer market there’s only so much we realistically need. It has been addressed, end of sentence,
Im just gonna leave a few Quotes here:
When we set the upper limit of PC-DOS at 640K, we thought nobody would ever need that much memory.
William Gates, 1985
In 1894, Albert A. Michelson remarked that in physics there were no more fundamental discoveries to be made. Quoting Lord Kelvin, he continued, “An eminent physicist remarked that the future truths of physical science are to be looked for in the sixth place of decimals.
Saying that IT (or most big industry in general) has nothing left to do except for selling stupid stuff, just because capitalism requires it is straight up delusional.

You can hit your thumb quite good with a hammer too.
I can confirm, that gargeling someone else’s balls can be quite enjoyable.
Heroic has built in support for gog, epic games and I think amazon games, but don’t quote me on that. Its all in all very good and at least for me it always worked better than trying to achieve the same over lutris.
Why you gotta call me out on a personal level like that?

If you want to create the most badass documents possible LaTeX is a sheer endless rabbit hole. Various Text formatting, page/document layouts, tables and even graphs can be created using LaTeX. It can be quite hard when getting started with it, but it do be kind of worth it when you got the coolest looking document ever.
