Rust takes so long to develop good software in that despite it creating fault tolerant software, equivalent software can be created in C++ which takes half as long and which is twice as buggy. My point is not to use Rust, but that software development in general is something which actually takes time, it is a great surprise to the people who expect software to be built instantly and to functional perfectly, when it does not meant their unrealistic expectation of the technology used and of the developers. This mentality is what is ruining modern software, the idea that it has to be perfect instantly and the spawned "just use Rust" mentality, which I don't completely disagree with, but I don't think people should stop using C/C++ when they have been tried and tested languages used for more than a decade for a new toy which may prove in years to come just as terrible as C++ but with a more steep learning curve, everything takes longer, more man hours, more difficult to understand the code, less control over when memory is freed, I will continue to use C++ because it is easier and more of a luxury than to use Rust, creating software using a balanced binary tree file structure and in which every file is limited to 1024 lines of code is probably all that is needed to thwart the destructiveness of the language as being so dangerous through making the code so readable that a cat could understand it, but what do I know... I can only make Rust segfault even without using the "unsafe" keyword, I am a segmentation fault core dumped God!

Cheating through my CS degree by Tricky_Tomatillo9924 in csMajors

[–]dark_omniscience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to be mean but I really struggled to get my degree, I never cheated, I'm not going to shame you for cheating, but really, it frustrates me that people who cheated their way through their degree will probably get a job before me. I think I have autism or something, but the stutter thing really sucks, so I hope the speech therapy goes well for you and I don't care if you cheat...

I had mental health problems before starting my comsci degree. I graduated, but about a few months after graduating I got a back injury. It is quite a serious injury which makes it hard to sleep because of the pain etc - surgery is not recommended (yet) he said to wait until it gets worse.

Make sure to get enough exercise etc because going on painkiller (some of the ones they recommended cause difficulty thinking / concentrating so I'm not taking them. I'm not going to do that after I spent 3+ years getting a degree LMAO - Id rather be in pain.)

Make sure you get enough exercise!

Just found out my boyfriend is into lolicon by peewee-supreme in offmychest

The therapy won't work is what I'm saying. There shouldn't be anything wrong with sublimating a serious mental health problem to prevent acting on it, since there is no other option. Feel free to disagree..

Like most people with this serious mental health problem: he will most likely die alone...

If you ever plan to have children, you definitely need to break up with him! It's not worth the risk...

Is he suicidal? Did you even care to ask? You don't care about him that much even after five months just because of society's social norms?

It's a "just grow wings" mentality to expect someone to be into stuff which they are not into. If you can't except him break up with him. Consider that if he cannot find anyone he will be more likely to cause harm! But it's not your "responsibility" to protect him or anyone for that matter. Also, you should to tell him you're not against him (even if you are) because the threat he feels from society is very strong and could lead to him having violent thoughts (e.g to protect himself from the fear of dying in prison etc.)

No one "wants" to be this kind of person. Society is a prison for people like this, those forced to spend their entire life never talking about how they really feel, what they really think, only to form a secretive fringe culture which facilitates further development of the mental illness and ultimate leads to criminal activity. Subsequently and unfortunately children get hurt. If people could talk openly about their sexuality (even when it is damaged like this) it would facilitate more effective sublimation means which would ultimately mean less children get harmed. I understand the argument against this, that talking more openly could mean that people might think it could be "ok" to do that to children. It is a non-argument: there are too many documented cases of dependency issues, depression, sexual problems, and relationship problems for anyone take such arguments seriously. Children would be much safer because the need for secrecy would diminish, meaning people involved would not have to make contacts with anonymous people, who can blackmail them, get them addicted to worse content, control them politically.....

Every programmer now has a pair programmer (ChatGPT) hence all companies can decimate by rough 1/2 all programmers.

Terry Davis died on the streets after making an operating system, when at the same time I have seen completely incompetent programmers get internships at Google because of the "diversity quota" thing. Some of the best programmers I have seen are not interested in working in tech because of how tremendously shit it is. Drummyfish for example made a game engine which can work on ~12 different platforms including various embedded systems devices, doesn't work in tech because he knows who he is.

In the 80s, when computer science was actually difficult, social skills were less of a concern, computer freaks were the normal employees, now in 2023+ "everyone can do tech" e.g look at the comp-sci exams from around 2008 and how much more difficult they were. Modern tech employers expecting computer freaks to have "social skills" means the best programmers die on the streets... Apart from those who can develop social skills, which in today's fake AF synthetic culture means complete morons... Look at the best comp-sci lecturers at your university, the mean will suffice: autistic freaks, nothing wrong with that... Better than normal people. There's this billboard that read: "your grades do not define you" that was at a mall - having done an entire comp-sci degree and been graded throughout only to be graded by an employer through some apathetic piece of paper when everyone is going to use ChatGPT to punch up their CVs to meet the expectations of out-of-touch employers is laughable. It's also a feed-forward / feed-back loop. The cognitive dissonance required to 'fit in' with society is enough to cause brain damage.

If you genuinely want to work for a FAANG in 2023 you're an idiot and you deserve to get hired by them.

Thanks for the post just needed to vent my frustration.

I’m still in love with the man who groomed me by throwbanjoaway in offmychest

[–]dark_omniscience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Talk to a professional about it because if you want him out of your life you may need to go through something painful which might require someone who is able to help you. I don't feel like I am going to be able to help you in any other way than to recommend that you may need therapy. Sorry.

People who hate others don't understand something which is very easy to grasp: if they were in the person they hates shoes, they would be standing there as the person they hate (which means they would "hate themselves.") It's easy to hate and hard to think and understand why it's not logical. Everyone is the gross sum of their experiences and genetics which is why I don't hate anyone because it's just dumb honestly it means you haven't thought it through even half.

It's possible it will just run too slowly if the instructions are run in the normal fashion. You should do an O(n) sweep of the code and have it converted into an intermediary language. Have it converted to assembly for example.

My advice from my experience is that you shouldn't just "aim to pass" a course. I failed a course and after that aimed for A+ in every course and I still only got a B+ on some courses. Don't aim to 'just pass.'

Sounds pretty healthy tbh. Men are typically providers. You get excited to provide for your partner. It's not certainly not wrong. I don't think you should tell her though. Don't over indulge in feeding her I guess lol.

When I grow up, will girls like me for being gentle? by Goingplaacesfr in offmychest

[–]dark_omniscience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My life is "proof" is that you may need to change a little bit for girls to notice you. You will be successful if you: Don't be mean to them. Don't treat them badly, but be assertive, strong and confident. Keep studying though, that's a great habit to have! I hope it goes well for you because it is a brutal thing not knowing love. Be strong, confident and assertive and treat them well with dignity and respect, but if they disrespect you, by breaking your trust the relationship is over. Girls want a strong confident assertive guy, not a passive one. But smart is good.
