No, that’s what good programmers say (measure first, then optimize). Bad programmers use it to mean it’s perfectly fine to prematurely pessimize code because they can’t be bothered to spend 10 minutes to come up with something that isn’t O(n^2) because their set is only 5 elements long so it’s “not a big deal” and “it’s fine” even though the set will be hundreds or thousands of elements long under real load.

It would be almost funny if it didn’t happen every single time.

That’s because LLMs really like to output bullet point lists

This certainly sucks hard. A possible path forward could be to simply discontinue papers. Only grade verbal exams and written exams started and completed in class. Open book, but prohibit usage of non-vetted electronic devices

All true. But meanwhile there are also users like me that have to refrain from exclaiming “why the FUCK does this website restrict me to 20 character passwords” out loud.

I use a password manager. Having my password be 1 glyph or 200 has the same usability to me.

Why wait? You can already own nothing

Arguably, not even nvidia is in the high end as it requires all sorts of frame generation techniques to get playable framerates

I’m eagerly waiting for linux to be mature enough on phone hardware. What’s the current status? I know of postmarketOS and I know of stuff like the librem 5. Is there any other effort going on?

I fuck
You fuck
We all fuck
For the fuck fuck

If I may, I don’t recommend spaghetti for ragú alla bolognese. Their shape and smooth surface make for poor sauce retention on the fork. Classically, ragú alla bolognese is served with tagliatelle, though to be fair I don’t know how available those are in Greenland.

Do try them if you get the chance though.

Fair, but it’s something painless do to next time someone might be installing a new system or migrating disks. Until not too long ago I didn’t know about these kind of options, so just knowing is a good first step even without further action

A copy-on-write (CoW) filesystem like btrfs would be useful here. The “copy” would just be be shallow. The files exist in the new location but their contents are not copied, until a file in the new location is modified. And even then, not the whole contents of the file are duplicated. A “copy” like this would effectively only be a few kilo / mega bytes big rather than gigs

3 things:

1. I did not assert that “not having something is correct”
2. You don’t need a forge for bug trackers and PR reviews (note: I also did not assert they are not needed or useful, either in my previous message or in this one)
3. If something is required, it cannot be taken away without making the software less perfect. Perfect software is as small as possible and no smaller

Please note also, that I responded to a very specific part that I quoted, namely the fact that you need reasonably little to make good software. Everything else is not am assertion on my part, but an assumption on yours.

you really dont need a whole bunch to make good software.

Thank you. Louder for those in the back!

Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away

Not necessarily. Timestamps, file paths, and other environment metadata can easily sneak into an executable and make a program not build reproducibly
