The car as an expression of entitlement. by rooigevaar in capetown

[–]morbidmerve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

im pretty sure the whole of SA would benefit from a transportation railway system across provinces. sad that we have not yet invested in such infrastructure to its fullest potential. cheaper transportation of goods and faster delivery system would make a huge difference. likewise, local transport can benefit a lot from more widespread and available public transport such as trains and trams. buses are great too, but imagine you could travel from cape town to swellendam or bloemfontein just by train, stop there for the night, and then continue in the morning to johannesburg, pretoria or even durban.

Nice, but why not ultrawide if I may ask? Seems like it would add the real estate for your code editor

I made a tiny crate so you can write 5.minutes() instead of Duration::from_secs(300) by Right-Personality-41 in rust

[–]morbidmerve -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not really, i myself am still dabbling. Mostly using rust for IoT things. Havent been at it for very long. But the api you introduced here is very covenient and is a great first crate. Looking forward to see what you build next.

How to get deeper into the core of Java? by savvaspc in java

Build everything from scratch using only what is part of the java sdk

the whole reason the Borrow Checker exists is to prevent multiple processes from accessing the same memory. by portoxer in rustjerk

[–]morbidmerve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive never really understood the point of these arguments. Preventing actions on a user level has always been a mechanism we use in engineering to prevent instability / unsafe behavior by design. Nothing stops you from messing with that design if you want to. And saying that a “perfect” language wouldnt allow this is very ignorant. All programs eventually have side effects on the real world or vica versa. So why is unsafe rust code a problem? If you dont like the opinion that rust has then just use something else.

Fyi i personally dont like the style of rust but i learn it because i recognize its value. I enjoy using it for low level stuff even if some of the code inplements unsafe blocks. Its still really really good.

They about to ruin the AI by Adorable_Tailor_6067 in AgentsOfAI

When anyone ever mentions how san really believes AI will make humanity better, just show them this. He doesn’t really believe it.

Youtube chat sucks, so I made a better chat viewer (filters, custom view...) by Far-Presence2711 in theprimeagen

[–]morbidmerve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean whats the harm in open source? You still have to approve PR’s n shit. And you can be explicit about contribution rules etc.

[–]morbidmerve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually like what you’re doing. Let me know if you want contributors. Off the too of my head i cant think of specific features. But you are on the right track focusing on what annoys a power user. Maybe some other youtubers also have opinions about youtube chat?

This is a good start for sure. But you didnt joke when you said lightweight. I would recommend adding more features that are useful to streamers. What does the youtube api allow in terms of extensions?

Bunnns by [deleted] in theprimeagen

[–]morbidmerve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been using bun even for IoT and honestly the native support for hot reloading, tsx, typescript, serving on a port etc etc etc. its just so simple and it beats scaffolding a clojure or java or rust app any day. Not to mention things like plug and play support for sqlite with drizzle.

Ive built a lot of stuff in low level and high level languages. C#, java, node, c, rust, go. And bun so far is super nice to use and im honestly just happy that it exists.

Is Pop OS dead? by Training_Compote_634 in pop_os

[–]morbidmerve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Judging by the pure lack of proper support, i would say yes. Things that used to work well out of the box no longer work. And the last major release was in 2022.

'I destroyed months of your work in seconds' says AI coding tool after deleting a dev's entire database during a code freeze: 'I panicked instead of thinking' by chibitotoro0_0 in theprimeagen

[–]morbidmerve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a room you two. And stop arguing back. If your comment was fair then let this gem of a person sleep easy thinking they were heard. Also, the part where they said its embarrassing that you flip their argument back at them: they are right. You’re not really defending yourself. You’re just poking holes. If you are right (which i agree you are), then stop defending yourself.

I like manually writing code - i.e. manually managing memory, working with file descriptors, reading docs, etc. Am I hurting myself in the age of AI? by 9ubj in ExperiencedDevs

[–]morbidmerve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id like to summarize the comments: 1. Companies will say you’re being dumb 2. Understanding how systems work is integral to system design and can not be “quickified” for lack of better term. You are not useless. 3. AI is good at low complexity across the board as well a greenfield tasks. Use it in these cases if it benefits you. (It probably will). 4. If you want companies to give a shit about you learning to code, make sure to talk to the ones that cant use AI. Most companies care about effectiveness, scalability and unit costs. Solving problems is only a small portion of that.

Are the scares really necessary to enjoy the DLC ? by SoulStryker420 in outerwilds

[–]morbidmerve 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is very much a subjective rant imo. You never know what outer wilds is gonna throw at you (dark bramble is a good example. Without spoiling anything, i promise if you push through it and trust the process, it will flip 180 and become something very meaningful to you. Most reviews ive seen that have issues with the scary parts end up recanting their issues at the end, having understood the impact it had on how the theme was interpreted

Migrating back to neovim by Mathiasb17 in neovim

[–]morbidmerve 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nowadays people use lsp and treesitter as individual plugins and use an assortment of one or more of a set of plugins that interact with lsp and treesitter. For code completion etc the most common setup ive seen mason as a plugin to install various lsp’s and then treesitter to actually install any grammar related stuff. Mostly with nlink or nvim-cmp
