Most scripting languages have a global scope of some kind. It’s not that big of a deal.

I’d prefer not to have it, but it hasn’t caused me problems in many years. Actually, the window object can be really useful in some situations so I’m not even sure about that.

This person made some truly awful arguments, lol

Yes, make it hurt EU. It sucks that my dumbass country made it come to this, but it needs to happen. Way too many people here pretend the rest of the world doesn’t exist.

Their current GPU is roughly equal to a 4060 which isn’t that bad when you consider how far behind they are in terms of time.

I can’t imagine using a steam deck to do anything productive. If he’s traveling a lot it makes no sense. No one wants to drag around a monitor and KBM when they could just buy a laptop.

Framework used to make laptops with a dedicated AMD GPU, but I haven’t looked in over a year.

Isn’t China already building their own consumer GPUs?

I thought AMD also said they were cutting production?

I found out that some teams at my company are doing the same thing. They’re using it to fix simple issues like exceptions and security issues that don’t need many code changes. I’d be shocked if it were any different at your friend’s company. It’s just surprising to me that that’s all he was doing?

LLMs can be very effective but if I’m writing complex code with them, they always require multiple rounds of iteration. They just can’t retain enough context or maintain it accurately without making mistakes.

Some clever context engineering can help with that, but at the end of the day it’s a known limitation of LLMs. They’re really good at doing text-based things faster than we can, but the human brain just has an absolutely enormous capacity for storing information.

There’s absolutely no way this can be effective for anything other than simple changes in each PR.

Lol. They made some “deals” based on hope and a dream. In reality they are still posting net losses.

By the way, I have the very best bridge in the world to sell you. Interested?

I instinctively downvoted after reading that vomit. It’s scary how many people are fooled by LLMs.

Witcher 3 is the bane of my existence at 4K. Even with DLSS it runs like ass on my 5070 ti.

The terminally online Apple cultists bully other people all the time. I mean you’re literally doing it right now while also blatantly lying about it.

Android has orders of magnitude more users than apple and the vast majority couldn’t care less what phone someone uses.

Zuck helped forge the ring

Brave regularly gets me flagged as a bot on Android

When you get deep into niche stuff like this, Linux is such a pain in the ass. I like it for casual use and even some gaming but I’m not going to lie, a lot of hobbyist stuff is just so much easier on Mac or Windows. Which makes sense since Linux isn’t in widespread use by normies and also isn’t a desktop-first OS.

Even on Ubuntu I had to use the terminal pretty frequently. Older games especially are a big PITA to get working sometimes.

Why do you neckbeards constantly lie so aggressively about this? That post exactly describes every single Linux migration I’ve ever done. You WILL end up in the terminal at some point, and you will find apps and games that just don’t work in Linux.

Anyone capable of doing damage already knows how to format and read minified code anyway. I do it in prod all the time when I want to test something with an override, which causes the source map to become invalid.
