Possible, but rare in practice.

Nowadays, you are more likely going to struggle with plugging your laptop into a 320Volt outlet than have a terminfo problem.

Let me rephrase, he is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

In my professional medical opinion, he is at high risk of being replaced by a year old low-end Chinese open source LLM.

I joked, but reading the post is even more clear - man this poor dude.

He is brute forcing his way through life and broadcasting it on YouTube.

Dunno man, Xogot is made up of almost half a million lines of code. Of those 727 files use SwiftUI, and 65 use UIKit, 119 use AppKit (I did not count the overlap, so they are not mutually exclusive).

Using GeometryReader makes it clear he is living in the past and the fact that he uses printChanges in this year without mentioning the dedicated SwiftUI instrument show a lack of curiosity on the space.

Lives were destroyed, families were in turmoil, but look at the bright side: it was a learning moment.

I do wonder if the rehiring was just at a lower compensation level.

Wow I didn’t know that.

That is deeply disappointing.

SunOS 4 did not have /proc, that was a BSD-based system.

Destroying the world is cheap compared to the cost to humanity.

Now they need to share the cost that we have burdened the world and ourselves with.

I look forward for you to post a rationale for the site reliably for these 6,000 extensions.

Not clear why it needs to scan for Amazon image downloaders, Rufus conversation extracters, Amazon delivery scheduler, Product Scanner, or pharmacy operations.

That was a two minute search here:

I don’t distrust rust, I think it is great for some things. But I write code to enjoy myself and swift hits the spot between safety and satisfaction for me.

Your satisfaction might be different, enjoy it!
