Knee-jerk reaction to the internal Java that everyone has in their brain.

By not being a web developer.

Most writing spaces are full of incompetent people who are terrible at what they do, give bad advice, blame everyone else for their problems, and have wildly incorrect opinions on topics that they aren't qualified for.

In other words, most writing spaces are just like HN. Take your pick.

but if the poorest are helped accordingly

Good joke!

Interesting way of saying "no"

now you have to create a database, create a user, grant that user access to the database, setup credentials and start using them.

CREATE ROLE dumbo WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'fuck';

CREATE DATABASE dumbo OWNER dumbo;

It's that easy.

It's not a chore, it's not a task, it's fundamentally important, it's what you are on this planet to do.

I'm here to sit on my arse and get fat eating chocolate and makeing games, then kill myself at age 34, actually.

Applying technological solutions to social problems hasn't worked a single time before, but SURELY it'll work this time

That does not mean that one should not be aware that the creation of such words was based on laziness and ignorance and one should not coin any new words of this series.

You say this, and yet you are writing English and not Proto-Indo-European. Curious!

all memory could be handed off to a separate dedicated thread that actually calls free().

You could go a bit further and have multiple concurrent threads mark the references, then sweep them up in a separate thread, too. Some sort of concurrent sweep and mark reference count system.

Theoretically my local computer is faster to render something than my network connection can download the pre-rendered content.

However, 99% of javascript blobs of hatred end up slower than downloading the pre-rendered content.

Web devs have zero right to run their javascript disasters on my computer. Htmx outsources 99% of the rendering and logic to the server, where it can use up their valuable time.

crushing the German economy post-WW1

It was so crushed it was the strongest economic power in Europe by 1923. Truly a crippling burden.

web devs re-invent webjars

Why are you surprised that Reddit for Bosses is against unions?

Rust is a clever language, which wrecks havoc on people's programming ego by making them very inclined to try and write clever code.

But if you avoid trying to be really annoying with the type system like the majority of the ecosystem is, and slap Arc/RefCell/heap allocations everywhere, the language turns back into a high-level language again.

Unfortunately, stepping outside the realm of ``core`` and ``alloc`` and ``std`` means having to repeatedly step on overly clever landmines everywhere you go.

You would have been cooked by x-rays before that happened.

Relativity means time slows down for an observer, not for the observed. You would see the universe around you rapidly speed up and eventually die.

Imagine approaching a black hole and being spaghettified a light year across where you have to endure a thousand years of physical torture before being destroyed at the event horizon?!

This would only happen for very small blackholes, and even then from your point of view time would act normally.

This is called the JVM and everyone has spent the last twenty years getting really upset about it.

Server-side templating died for this.

I can understand Rust when I'm writing my own code. But when it comes to understanding other people's code, it's essentially gibberish.

A lot of library devs seem to have read "strong type system" and taken it as a challenge, meaning that half of their code is actually declarative to the compiler rather than readable in the source file. As a native Java dev this is very annoying.

A foetus is less developed than my toe. I don't see anyone calling to give my toe human rights.

Compile in an old Debian version docker container.

You can just do `bash -c "CMD"`.

The base edition of IntelliJ (and also the base edition of PyCharm) is open source: https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community

A website full of bosses arguing against wage rises for workers? Truly shocking.

It's so cool that x86 is completely fucked security-wise because of all the perf hacks that have been introduced - and yet, computers never seem to get any faster.

Postgres UUIDs are treated as an opaque 8-byte array, you can use anything as long as it's in the textual format.
