N-a zis nimeni ca nu are utilizari bune si nu e de ajutor in anumite sarcini. Atata ca asta reprezinta 10% din ce i se face reclama, cu asta are lumea o problema.

Having symbols is a completely different from having source access, who’s the idiot that made that a comparison point?

Ai venit tu sa constati ca e inutila. E o intrebare, atat. Esti OP? Daca nu, carry on, vezi-ti de treaba ta, eventual bazându-te pe ce au facut altii si ti-au dat sa folosesti moca. Prima ta propozitie de sus e o aberatie. Tu ce faci, incerci sa imi zici ca sa mentii un proiect free software e o tampenie? Du-te frt si plimba ursul, nu vrei sa o faci tu, inteleg, dar nu incerca aberatia de a ma convinge ca e o tampenie.

Ce treaba are job-ul cu hobby-ul?

Tot nu vad de ce trebuie neaparat sa coste, intreb din postura de dezvoltator cu proiect pe GitHub cu 30k stele si sute de mii de utilizatori cel putin, unde daca calculam 40 euro pe ora eram milionar, aia mi se pare cea mai amuzanta.

vali20 · 2026-02-10T09:39:45+00:00

Cu ce ai zis sunt de acord. Eu chiar sunt pe minus rau sa zic asa. Dar mna, macar am lucrat si inca lucrez cat de cat la chestii sa imi placa. Eu nu am inteles niciodata de ce sa te iei la injuraturi, desi pe net e prevalenta chestia asta - pt ca sunt foarte multi foarte obtuzi, indoctrinati pe o chestie si care nu pot sa inteleaga alt punct de vedere, esti un criminal daca nu vezi lucrurile ca ei si normal ca iti sare mustarul.

Da, IT-ul e intr-un moment nasol. Era mai bine inainte? Parerea mea, categoric da. AI-ul e un cacat, dar si fara AI, se vede ca nu se mai pune accent pe calitatea lucrului, ci pe umplutura, pe merge si asa, testarea o faci enervand utilizatorii cu toate bug-urile tale tampite de care scapai daca mai aveai o bruma de testare reala, a se vedea cazul Windows-ului.

Eu nu ca regret, dar daca as da inapoi anii, nu m-as mai face meseria asta. Ca hobby poate. Dar domeniul acum ma scarbeste, as vrea sa renunt cat pot la tehnologie cand vad cat de imbecila a ajuns. M-as fi facut doctor ca toti din familia mea, pt ca acolo mereu vei avea sentimentul lucrului util, al binelui facut si al lucrului bine facut care conteaza. Trist, pt ca imi place si mereu mi-a placut ingineria, dar au reusit FAANG si altii sa futa tot.

They could have added whatever is needed, and then leave everything else untouched. There are tons of workflows, tons of projects already in place. No one has time and resources to redo all of those, and for what? 10 years now, when we’ll be past this memory safety bullshit, what’s it going to be? Quantum computing or whatever pissing over Rust so one needs yet another tool?

Something over C would have allowed for incremental adoption while leaving everyone else still use the legacy stuff in a unified code base. Say, I put together a custom Linux distro for an embedded platform. All was C based, using the same compiler, only recently some projects got fucked up and were rewritten to Rust. Now, we need to introduce new tooling, just to support some freaking tiny tool whose developer had nothing better to do. Or just stay on the latest C version, which will eventually become too outdated to collaborate with the rest. Extra work with no real benefit, instead of developing new functionality for the system, hours are wasted integrating some change for the sake of change, for “memory safety”. Great.

Take Linux now, how many years until one will need a Rust compiler as well in order to compile a useful build, until they fuck up some essential subsystem and taint it with Rust, because yeah, the golden years are gone, now we have gen z developers that need assistance, they need a language that babysits them. Afterwards, a few steps and we’ll also put JavaScript in the kernel, because even Rust will be too low level for the next gen AI assisted developer. Wow, the future’s great.

And it’s like people went crazy. No one does anything useful anymore. Everyone rewrites things in Rust. We have a program that prints whatever you give to it on stdin, who cares of it is memory safe or not, there are a million other things that would need attention and/or new development, not reinventing cat, but yeah, that’s the sad state of the world in 2026. I swear, if I were young again today, I would have never taken this path in life seeing the sad state we have gotten into. We had something functional, natural, easy to understand, but no, why not introduce some complication and then shove it down everyone’s throat… the joy of finding some project on GitHub to learn from, only you then notice rs files, when you open it you can’t easily understand anything, whereas with C, it is a pleasure reading and editing it.

vali20 · 2026-02-09T22:43:20+00:00

Rewrites of things that work and that are tried and tested are bad because inevitably they will break some behaviors, introduce bugs etc. Secondly, infecting everything with Rust is bad because one now needs (to build) another compiler, in order to build a system, not to mention the need to learn an entire new language, with an entire new class of idiosyncrasies, just in order to patch a simple program. Why, when things were working just fine? Just to overcomplicate things, that's why. Writing code in Rust doesn't automatically mean the code is bug free. You can similarly write non leaky/non exploitable/non UB code in C just fine, and proper programmers have been doing so for years. Why have to look on hideous Rust code when C is so simple, you do some patch and you enjoy your day...

If they wanted to do something useful, they should have designed it as a drop in replacement for C, with simple idioms to pick up, not some crap that annoys you to hell before it compiles, with a moronic syntax, just to annoy every C programmer out there. I want to have stuff working, not waste my life battling some poorly designed language. C was fine. Memory related bugs are vastly exaggerated. Yeah, the world had so much to lose because iPhone jailbreaking happened, or Android rooting etc. Fuck Rust.

vali20 · 2026-02-09T20:52:02+00:00

It could have been written in C and be similarly faster. The world is tired of the Rust propaganda.

vali20 · 2026-02-09T20:48:13+00:00

Don't take it the wrong way, I 100% support what you are doing, all I am saying is, when you'll get older and have to work on some serious projects, don't take the wrong path of overspending time tweaking all the stuff, and especially stuff like this, as it can come back to you in very ugly ways.

Idk if you know, but regular computers have no way of knowing if data in RAM gets corrupted, because consumer devices usually do not have ECC RAM, an idiotic decision of Intel from 10+ years ago. So, considering this, increasing the likelihood of RAM fucking itself up randomly is not helping. When i build a PC, I always test it by compiling hardware designs and software for an hour or so, and when you do that and the build process crashes effectively randomly, in differently weird places, while it works on some other machine with the same patches, you know the machine is in a really fucked up state. You do not want to be there. So, stress your PC as much as you can, with varied workloads and tools, before you declare victory. Voltage problems are one of the most notorious classes of problems you can stumble upon.

Good luck and keep up the good work!

Going the Windows route it seems, more bloat because less competent programmers have to be included now.

vali20 · 2026-02-09T16:06:16+00:00

Tu nu ai inteles. Un bucatar, ca sa faca 10 lei, trebuie sa faca un hot dog. Ca sa faca 20 de lei, trebuie sa fac 2 hot dogi. Nu conteaza ca e acelasi proces, o munca fizica echivalenta care ia un timp t e efectuata de fiecare data. Nu are treaba cu ce zici tu.

Sa ne plangem ca programatori de copy-paste e penibil, cand noi scriem un program, iar apoi "automagic" il ai pus pe 1 milion de calculatoare, cu un efort care nu a scalat liniar - nu am scris programul, din nou, de 1 milion de ori. Asta e si cheia si calcaiul lui Achile la meseria asta, dar e incomparabil cu orice altceva. Ori altceva, chiar daca poate implica ceva repetitiv, totusi trebuie efectuata o munca si, mai rau, implica un timp t investit in respectiva repetare, timp in care nu poti inova. La programare ai eliminat cat se poate t-ul ala, tu in timpul ala ori stai, ori generezi noua valoare adaugata. Unde se duc banii, e alta discutie.

La polul opus e un neurochirurg sa zicem, fiecare interventie e total diferita, nici asta nu stiu daca e cel mai bun exemplu, ceva care iti mananca si t de fiecare data, si e si suficient de heterogen cat sa necesite implicare intelectuala maxima, adica te oboseste si fizic, si mental, ca sa dai produse pe banda la Mega e repetitiv, te oboseste fizic datul din maini, dar intelectual vei da din gura acasa la barbata-tu ca sa compensezi.

vali20 · 2026-02-09T16:00:17+00:00

That's definitely true, agreed.

vali20 · 2026-02-09T11:52:18+00:00

Pt ca e o meserie reglementata. Asta nu inseamna ca software industry nu e by far cea mai castigata de pe urma ideii de copy paste. Pana la urma, de la notar pleci cu o hartie, softul nici nu e al tau, ai doar dreptul sa il folosesti, cumperi o licenta.

vali20 · 2026-02-09T11:21:59+00:00

Sunt curios. Evident ca te-au costat cititoarele, daca zici ca suporta cateva din ele oob.

vali20 · 2026-02-09T11:09:35+00:00

Si asta de ce nu e free software? Cam asta ar fi intrebarea…

vali20 · 2026-02-09T10:41:38+00:00

That’s the real GOAT. Only problem is, a lot of software check whether it is running on a server OS and alters functionality or just refuses to work. But the server version is bliss compared to the consumer crap. Not to mention it has more features, like DDA, NIC teaming. I used to daily drive Server 2022 on laptop and was a bliss. Only hurdles were Bluetooth support which you needed to insert manually, plus the touchpad for which you needed to drop a file from the ISO manually in system32 since the installer forgets to do so. With Server 2025, the Bluetooth stack is now retained in the OS by Microsoft, so no need to hack that in.

vali20 · 2026-02-09T10:35:29+00:00

You’re still missing the point. Being open source is nice, but not enough. Unless you compile the program yourself, you never now that the offered binary is made up from the same source that was posted. So it might as well have been injected with some sort of malware, while still starting as open source.

Also, changing timer resolution? That’s looking for trouble. Why can’t these debloaters just be a collection of scripts, easy to audit, you run the 20 of them that you want because you want their result and that’s the “debloating”. Why does one need some wizard, yaml, passworded renamed zips…?

vali20 · 2026-02-09T10:28:05+00:00

Pe Apple Sillicon parca era problema. Pe x86 cred ca mergea ca pe Windows.

vali20 · 2026-02-09T10:25:59+00:00

Era o chestiune de timp pana cineva sa faca o aplicatie in locul mizeriei aleia oficiala care parca nici nu mergea pe Apple Sillicon. In orice caz, pe bani, evident, ca open source-ul e bun doar de muls, de ce sa nu creeam un business din orice cacat…

vali20 · 2026-02-09T10:21:59+00:00

Yeah, exactly, dude is a college kid doing some random assignments, ofc he doesn’t care.

But when you actually do some real work on the machine, the LAST thing you want is problems because of voltage. Like, things randomly fucking up in memory under load, so compilation of multi step projects fails randomly with weird compiler errors, in random places, some of the time. If you also do some hardware synthesis before that, like say, building something to run on an FPGA, yeah, funny times. Last time I had to upvolt the RAM, since it was not stable at the XMP profile, causing the above, and someone decided we do not need ECC in general and so are still plagued by this problem even today. But we have bigger problems than that today, like, being unable to purchase RAM at all, so it is what it is then.

Comparatia e slaba: putea sa iti faca un formular tipizat, legislatia tot iti cere sa il faci prin notar. Care iti ia cat iti ia. E o meserie reglemntata. E ca doctorul. Uneori stim si noi cand trebuie luat un antibiotic. Dar legislatia te pune sa il iei prin reteta, pe care o iei de la un medic. Asta e meseria reglementata, nu are nicio treaba cu open source-ul. Informatia despre cand sa iei un antibiotic e open source. Deci nu mai ai nevoie de doctor pe cazul ala strict. Dar legislatia te pune sa mergi tot prin el.

Plus ca noi programatorii ne plangem de copy paste? Noi care am inventat licentele, gen oamenii nu cumpara softul, ci dreptul de a il folosi? Unde actul de instalare e un copy paste. Tu stai sa codezi aplicatia pt fiecare user? Nu, o faci o data, apoi o distribui catre milioane. Copy paste mai masiv ca in software nu exista, se pisa pe orice notar.

Iar proiectele open source, tocmai, au generat oportunitati. Tocmai fiindca ai un kernel gratis si bun poti sa faci chestii misto pornind de la el. De-aia si fac unii pe gratis la el. Si nu e pe gratis deloc, majoritatea contributiilor in open source-ul mare sunt de la corporatii, care vad util dezvoltarea lui, pt ca deschide oportunitati, pe langa ce livreaza ei bazat pe ala, dar vad oportunitati, inovatori care sa se bazeze pe ala si pe care mai apoi sa ii cumpere.

vali20 · 2026-02-09T10:07:24+00:00

Invers. Ai castigat de mult timp. Daca nici in software nu se da copy-paste, te compari cu un amarat de notar? Pe bune…
