You’re right. It’s a stop gap, but when you’re talking about a code base that has been maintained for 20 years plus you can’t really sell re-implementation.
Most recently it was with an older version of C++ using shared pointers.
This is a secondary account that sees the most usage. My first account is listed below. The main will have a list of all the accounts that I use.

You can also make everything a smart pointer and be done with it.
I can count on more than one hand the number of large scale projects where converting everything to smart pointers fixed major memory issues. Even if smart pointers can’t handle circular references, the number of projects that just don’t manage their memory correctly at all and were fixed by introducing these tools is way too high.
It’s almost backwards compatible. You can use old or new foot guns.
Ah, C++. An endless supply of footguns where the difference between a junior and a senior dev is knowing what parts of the language to never use.
It’s always a good idea to check out your instance policies. Mine blocks porn, for example. It’s a very important lens through which you will view the network.
It wouldn’t make a lot of sense to register for an instance that has very different beliefs from your own, unless that’s expressly what you want for educational purposes.
Maybe we do want a minimum barrier to entry that involves the slightest amount of patience and forethought.
Maybe just maybe a link aggregator and discussion platform doesn’t need to make money. Maybe it can just be good and make the users happy.
A democracy, if you can keep it, in a sense. Lemmy is healthy. Time will tell if the idea works, but I think it is a huge advantage tearing away corporate ownership and really investing in a platform that is owned by its users.
Onboarding process is definitely smoother, and we fixed a lot of the Federation bugs. Usability is an all-time high. I don’t know what the critical mass is, but we are definitely gaming momentum.
Perhaps he would be willing to offer a public apology and an agreement to step down?
Nah. Still no.
It’s part of a larger trend where technology isn’t serving the interests of the people who use it.
I get that this is the point of the article, but wow seeing an ad in your car makes it look cheap as fuck.
There’s a chance I might tolerate it on a rental, but not on something I own. Absolutely not.
The software is arrogant and needs to know its place. It serves the user. It should obey.
Our computer.
Definitely do not buy Shark products. They used to be good, but maintaining any of their stuff now feels like it was intentionally designed to rip you off.
I have their old vacuum cleaner that I’ve repaired five times and I’m never getting rid of it.
Less guesswork. Of course it’s not going to be complete. But it’s nice.
The memes have always belonged to the people, not to Reddit.
I’m not sure there would be an advantage. The signals are very different. That might be approximately equal to building a new one.
Not just old people. I had a heart monitor a couple years ago that’s only made for 2G.
Alright maybe I’m getting old but that’s not the point.
When I was visiting the Caribbean they also had a lot of 2G infrastructure still operating.
Almost the same as me. All kinds of programming jobs. I usually end up working in Python or C, for embedded systems work.
Of course, if you’re talking hobby, it could be anything.
