There were a bunch of stories of Republicans helping Cornel West's campaign last year to act as a spoiler.

Does a writefreely instance appear on lemmy as a community with posts written by the author? That would be so cool, and would go in the right direction of integrating different kinds of social media in one client.

Let's make a community powered, open source project to do this and watch them squirm when investors demand that million dollar CEOs get replaced with AI for higher investor returns.

Wow, 10 years is still pretty young! Most of the other consolidated languages are at least 30 years old. Will be interesting to see how this project evolves.

I've known a few people like this in real life, but they are usually quickly excluded from social circles as they get quite tiresome. But online they can just continue doing it, especially if it's not bad enough to warrant a ban.

set up your VS code extensions to ensure clean code

Meanwhile, my VS code extensions:

Looking forward to C# in web exports. C# support has been borked ever since 4.0 released 2+ years ago.

Stop spamming this shit. A "censorship resistant" 4chan that runs like ass with some crypto scam embedded is not exactly appealing.

lol... apparently even the hype bots got fed up with plebbit: https://programming.dev/post/30153892

Very nice, I love your style! Obligatory "what brushes are you using?" question

The first paragraphs of that are good points. The rest is just Stallman going on a political rant attacking strawman arguments.

There would be music programs allowed only for rap music, and others allowed only for classical music.

I get where this is coming from, and it's good to move away from the libertarian fantasy that technology is neutral. But in practice, it is very hard to actually use.

For example, you can't use any GPL code that you may want to include, as that forces your project to also become GPL. And anyone using your code would also have to walk on eggshells for licensing, and they would probably just avoid it in the first place.

It might be useful to some very specific end products, but this will likely not see a lot of adoption.

 

Trump, who won reelection in November 2024 partly by claiming he could end the Ukraine war in one day, spent his first month in office posting cryptic messages on Truth Social about how the “deep state” was preventing him from implementing his genius plan. Now, with pressure mounting, he has finally delivered on his promise – by offering to surrender on Ukraine’s behalf.

 
 

The 2013 StackExchange post [^1] describes what is now commonly called an "archetype" based ECS architecture that was implemented as compile time archetypes in the author's open source project in Feb 2018 ^3. A similar ECS model was described later in the June 2018 patent filed by Unity ^2 and active since 2020.

It's useful to bring visibility to the issue for the inevitable patent trolling that will occur in the future.

I'm considering doing some freelance work as a backend dev. I have around 8 years of experience as a full time employee, but I'm not entirely sure how to get the ball rolling as a freelancer.

What are some good platforms to find clients? The only one I know of is searching job postings on LinkedIn.

Are platforms like Upwork and Fiverr good? I've heard that they're a bit of a rat race, and honestly looking at Fiverr ads it does seem that way.

 

I see this so often, but I don't understand it. Some people just fork a huge amount of repos and never commit anything to them. What's the point? Are they trying to pad their profile for potential employers or what?

It just clutters your active repos. Personally, I just remove forks once my PR gets merged upstream. And I only fork when I'm ready to push a commit.

Is there something I'm missing?

 

For anyone that has tried the 1.0 release of entities what do you think of it?

I plan on making a small test project with it soon and comparing it to Bevy.

I tried the 0.17 version a while ago, and I remember the API was a huge mess. I'm sure things could only get better from there.
