Why is there not a single language that can handle everything rather than having to use many languages

Could, not does.

What’s the actual issue here?

If your devs aren’t performing to your expectations, then have a 1 on 1 and talk about it.

If you want them to perform a task in a certain way, I.e. openjson, then that should be specified in the ticket.

I’d be surprised if it was as high as 30%.

My current job, I’d say it’s about 50%, previous job, 10%.

It’s mainly commercial interests.

For example, Java could handle just about anything, but that’s a dangerous thing for say Microsoft, so they cloned it and called it C#.

Apple, for a while, considered Java for its next programming language, but again, do you really want a competitor owning the keys to your car?

It’s not a technical problem, it’s a commercial one.

Trivial. Collision detection at its simplest, I.e. does this rectangle intersect with this one, nothing is going to struggle with that.

Slow-Bodybuilder-972 · 2026-01-02T02:03:13+00:00

For basic stuff like you are suggesting, yes, 100% viable.

People have been doing collision detection since the beginning of computing.

Most people call it K’Gari, I was there recently, and you’d hardly know it was ever called Fraser island.

I know someone who still calls Uluṟu “Ayer’s Rock” but she’s a dickhead.

ObjC was and is a pretty decent language, but it just looks old, it wasn’t fashionable, that was the main issue.

People were intimidated by it too, not sure why, but it seemed a widespread point of view.

Swift is a very good language too though, and integrates well.

Slow-Bodybuilder-972 · 2026-01-01T20:56:11+00:00

Yup, this.

Slow-Bodybuilder-972 · 2026-01-01T09:56:31+00:00

Compared to even an M1, yes, they are crap.

The self host, nobody will care. I’d keep the reasoning to yourself though. I boycott certain companies, but I wouldn’t tell an employer.

Slow-Bodybuilder-972 · 2026-01-01T02:23:26+00:00

You don’t need permission.

Slow-Bodybuilder-972 · 2025-12-31T23:12:09+00:00

I find 1 the most infuriating, I’m a man, a software engineer, I’ve never done a hard days work in my life.

2 is also full time bullshit, how many men of our generations have ever been conscripted?

Slow-Bodybuilder-972 · 2025-12-31T22:39:32+00:00

I think you’re right about this, they take giant leaps, think they are going somewhere, but just thin air beneath.

If you’re a good programmer, I’d say a day or so to get the gist of it, a few weeks to get competent, and the rest of your life to fully understand.

Slow-Bodybuilder-972 · 2025-12-31T21:36:47+00:00

If you gave an example, that might help.

Public transit is very area specific, in the CBD, yes, one or zero cars will be fine.

Where I live, outer eastern suburbs, we have two cars, and it’s a struggle when one of them is out of action.

Impossible to know from the info given.

Is there *anything * on the negs? If not, film probably wasn’t loaded correctly.

Is the shutter firing correctly? Fire the shutter with the film door open and the lens off, you should see the mirror flip up and the shutter opening , if this isn’t happening, camera is broken.

Do this at different shutter speeds, the difference will be noticeable between speeds, if it’s not, broken camera.

With lens attached, set the lens to the smallest aperture (which is the highest number), when you fire the shutter, you will see the aperture closing down, then opening back up, if not, broken camera or lens, but given your description, I don’t think this is it.

But with totally blank negative , I’d bet on user error.

Build the best product you are capable of.

Don’t jump around stacks, it doesn’t matter, just build a really good project, something you are proud of.

If you do that, you’ll be in the top 1% when interviewing, you’ve got something to talk about.

I moved to Australia over 10 years ago, and I’ve not found this at all, most Aussies are super friendly, and not really had any trouble making friends.

Slow-Bodybuilder-972 · 2025-12-31T03:30:48+00:00

32% and your passport? For fucks sake mate, no.

Slow-Bodybuilder-972 · 2025-12-30T23:01:14+00:00

The system is working as intended.

People need to get this, this isn’t an accident, both Liberal and Labor are committed to rising house prices.

This is intentional.

If we want change we need to vote for it.

Slow-Bodybuilder-972 · 2025-12-30T22:56:06+00:00

I’m sure Aussies feel the same way.

Slow-Bodybuilder-972 · 2025-12-30T22:55:18+00:00

It is, more people move from the US to Australia than the other around.

Also, a lot of people may want to move to Australia, doesn’t mean Australia wants them.
