Slapping on a `.expect` is also error handling! in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev
[–] sirdorius@programming.dev 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Unwrap is good for prototyping and trying out stuff fast, but it generally shouldn't make it past a code review onto main, unless you're very sure

China Lays Off 50,000 Intelligence Officers, Redirects “Much of the Money” to Republican Donations in c/theonion@midwest.social

Replace China with Russia and this would be news, not satire

There were a bunch of stories of Republicans helping Cornel West's campaign last year to act as a spoiler.

The Dumbest Move in Tech Right Now: Laying Off Developers Because of AI in c/programming@programming.dev

Does a writefreely instance appear on lemmy as a community with posts written by the author? That would be so cool, and would go in the right direction of integrating different kinds of social media in one client.

Let's make a community powered, open source project to do this and watch them squirm when investors demand that million dollar CEOs get replaced with AI for higher investor returns.

Announcing Rust 1.87.0 and ten years of Rust! in c/rust@programming.dev

Wow, 10 years is still pretty young! Most of the other consolidated languages are at least 30 years old. Will be interesting to see how this project evolves.

I've known a few people like this in real life, but they are usually quickly excluded from social circles as they get quite tiresome. But online they can just continue doing it, especially if it's not bad enough to warrant a ban.

Looking forward to C# in web exports. C# support has been borked ever since 4.0 released 2+ years ago.

What do you honestly think about Plebbit Protocol, and do you see it succeeding in the future? in c/programming@programming.dev

Stop spamming this shit. A "censorship resistant" 4chan that runs like ass with some crypto scam embedded is not exactly appealing.

lol... apparently even the hype bots got fed up with plebbit: https://programming.dev/post/30153892

Master negotiator Donald Trump to end Ukraine war by simply giving Russia everything it wants (newsthump.com)
 

Trump, who won reelection in November 2024 partly by claiming he could end the Ukraine war in one day, spent his first month in office posting cryptic messages on Truth Social about how the “deep state” was preventing him from implementing his genius plan. Now, with pressure mounting, he has finally delivered on his promise – by offering to surrender on Ukraine’s behalf.

Unity owned ECS patent uses techniques described in 2013 Stack Exchange post (github.com)
 

The 2013 StackExchange post [^1] describes what is now commonly called an "archetype" based ECS architecture that was implemented as compile time archetypes in the author's open source project in Feb 2018 ^3. A similar ECS model was described later in the June 2018 patent filed by Unity ^2 and active since 2020.

It's useful to bring visibility to the issue for the inevitable patent trolling that will occur in the future.

Tips on how to get clients as a freelancer? (programming.dev)
 

I'm considering doing some freelance work as a backend dev. I have around 8 years of experience as a full time employee, but I'm not entirely sure how to get the ball rolling as a freelancer.

What are some good platforms to find clients? The only one I know of is searching job postings on LinkedIn.

Are platforms like Upwork and Fiverr good? I've heard that they're a bit of a rat race, and honestly looking at Fiverr ads it does seem that way.

What is the point of empty forks? (programming.dev)
 

I see this so often, but I don't understand it. Some people just fork a huge amount of repos and never commit anything to them. What's the point? Are they trying to pad their profile for potential employers or what?

It just clutters your active repos. Personally, I just remove forks once my PR gets merged upstream. And I only fork when I'm ready to push a commit.

Is there something I'm missing?

Impressions on Unity Entities package (programming.dev)
 

For anyone that has tried the 1.0 release of entities what do you think of it?

I plan on making a small test project with it soon and comparing it to Bevy.

I tried the 0.17 version a while ago, and I remember the API was a huge mess. I'm sure things could only get better from there.
