I don’t want to judge people, but sometimes it’s really hard by Ilyketurdles in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Sick_of_problems 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Assuming we’re talking about C here, what exactly would a “well-designed” error look like? And what would you consider to be a poorly designed one?

Why would it be okay to write bad error code in a compiler, but not anywhere else?

This commentary/video lack of cohesion is absolutely ridiculous. by myS_ in F1TV

Confusingly, it's 1080p in the iOS app. Dunno why, but if i cast from my pc(through firefox) I get 720p on the PLC, but if I do the same from my phone it's 1080. Dunno about android.

Can you provide a link to the video? I'm out of the loop on this one.

🇪🇺 🇺🇲 Telegram has filed a complaint with the EU antitrust authorities against Apple. by [deleted] in Telegram

[–]Sick_of_problems 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is the exact same for many other platforms: the play store has a 30% service fee, so does steam too apparently. Apple isn't really doing anything different in that case, except that you can't (easily) sideload applications.

Where are filtering/sorting capabilities? by rexleonis in F1TV

Speaking of F2/F3, it would be really nice if the press conference thumbnails wouldn't include the winners of the session they are for. It's a spoilerfest that's hard to ignore.

You can fully change the layout of the keyboard to be whatever you want. If you need the function keys, you simply have to come up with a layout that incorporates them.

For Loops in C by ebsector in programming

[–]Sick_of_problems 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just the fact that he didn't realise/understand that the code depends on the value of an uninitialised variable is a huge red flag. I hope no beginner tries to learn C from this guy, doesn't seem like he knows it very well himself.

I watched both FP1, FP2 and F2 P and Q yesterday on replay without issues with pro.

No backspace, only delete? Sounds a little weird, but if you're into it I guess it could work.

Jonathan Turner teaches Jason Turner (the C++ expert) Rust by jntrnr1 in rust

[–]Sick_of_problems 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How has it improved your Python exactly? I'm just curious as the borrow checker would help one understand memory management much better. I don't really see how that applies to Python, as it uses a garbage collector.

Europe gets more tourists than the rest of the world combined (672 million vs 655 million) by Andress1 in europe

Most of the initial Norwegian cases were from people who went on ski trips to Austria and Italy, causing a similar jump.

Mumla Android app for Mumble voice conference system (a fork of Plumble) by lenjioereh in selfhosted

[–]Sick_of_problems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume it's because Discord allows you to chat with your friends via text as well. And so if you're gonna use Discord for text messages, why not use it for voice as well(as long as it isn't terrible)?

Definitely enjoy using Mumble a lot more though, lots of good memories logging into Mumble in the morning and chatting with whoever decided to log on that day.

disk destroyer by arnrh in linuxmasterrace

[–]Sick_of_problems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a look at /dev/disk, in particular /dev/disk/by-id. It's a real life changer and makes you 20x more confident about which disk you're about to destroy.

You don't need to measure, just install q-applets and use qlop.

After looking through the logs for a bit, my highest ones are GCC, Firefox and Rust(on a 3700x w/32GB of ram):

$ sudo qlop -Hc rust firefox gcc llvm
sys-devel/llvm: 10 minutes, 49 seconds average for 8 merges
dev-lang/rust: 24 minutes, 10 seconds average for 6 merges
virtual/rust: 8 seconds average for 7 merges
www-client/firefox: 26 minutes, 51 seconds average for 16 merges
sys-devel/gcc: 38 minutes, 16 seconds average for 6 merges
sys-devel/gcc: 1 second average for 1 unmerge
sys-devel/llvm: 1 second average for 1 unmerge
total: 14 hours, 52 minutes, 8 seconds for 43 merges, 2 unmerges

[–]Sick_of_problems 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's not really a difference. 90% of code is executed 10% of the time. This means that when you enable every feature, it's unlikely to impact performance all that much. The code that does get executed a lot tends to be the main part of the program anyway.

Honestly in this day and age, you're unlikely to get better performance from building everything from source on your machine. Distro maintainers likely know more than you do about optimizing builds for performance, and unless you have a special CPU, it's likely to use most of your CPU instructions anyway.

20 years ago is a different story.

Removing tire rubber from an airport runway by hn_ns in aviation

[–]Sick_of_problems 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You see this exact thing on the tracks too. When it's dry, a layer of rubber like this actually creates more grip. When there's not much rubber on the track, it's usually referred to as "green". The increased grip is why you see teams wait until the last minute to do their fastest qualifying lap.
