What programming languages aren't too criticized here?

Jump

  • I never feel sure what I want to use, and I get tempted to stop what I'm doing to do something in another stack, because I am most interested in the tech than my own toy project

    • Is there a recommended way to post a lot of content without flooding "new"?

    Jump

  • I'm not disagreeing, in the comment you replied I said it was a bad idea.

    I still think it should be possible to have a community in my own instance where I can do my own thing without "blasting" other instances. Apparently there isn't, and I didn't think a good use case for it, but it feels like a feature that would make sense

  • It would would still pollute the new comments feed

    • TIL Peter Molyneux failed his first game so badly he started a baked bean export company, which got confused with a software firm and kickstarted his development career

  • Bullfrog was my all time favorite game company, they made:

    • Syndicate
    • Magic Carpet
    • Theme Park
    • Theme Hospital
    • Dungeon Keeper

    After EA bought Bullfrog he moved to Lionhead and did the games people are criticizing on this thread. They are probably younger, and didn't see his games when he was at his peak

  • My use case turned out to be a bad idea, but let me explain what I was thinking before first

    The content I have is a lot of AI generated satire, that is created from user's prompts. Most AI generated jokes aren't much funny, but sometimes they are, if the user uses a funny prompt there is a good chance of it generating something good. More frequently I like the images it creates.

    My intention was to make it as easy as possible for people to upvote when something is actually funny, and sorting it by upvotes we would have better content to read.

    It is a bad idea because moving the content too fast to lemmy people can't read and decide if they'll upvote or downvote anything, even if I work around the flooding problem.

    And after writing it I dunno if there is a good use case for doing that.

    • Ruby Outperforms C [extensions]: Breaking the Catch-22

    Jump

  • good article, but the C in this comparison is being called from Ruby inside a loop, it's not as shocking as the title looks

    • Why should I use rust (as a Go enthusiast)?

    Jump

  • the main appeal for rust IMO are raw performance and lower memory consumption. say you want to run a lot of stuff in a small vps

    the longer compile times and "fighting the borrow checker" are it's price

    • What are your programming hot takes?

  • Decoupling Presentation from the data and semantics never ceases to make sense. CSS has many issues but the way its integrated with HTML is certainly not one of them.

    These days usually both html and css are in the presentation layer, well separated from the data, and the extra separation between css and html is just an annoyance. Then people started using tailwind, and we're going in circles with extra complexity.
