I find it a bit misleading to focus on retractions. Articles being retracted is a necessary thing, and there is nothing more suspicious than a place that never retracted anything.

What matters here is obviously the nature of the retractions, the source of the problem, which generally means whether it’s a fraud or not.

It’s a bit absurd to consider money and fame as success, unless you’re a crazy capitalist.

How is using a spoon different as to using a military tank? They’re both tools after all.

Look at how to do it with python, you’ll learn interesting stuff, get a working result, and not destroy your brain using a chat simulator as a programming help.

I don’t get why people are fine with comments that are as absurd as saying “to hang a painting, first stab a screwdriver in the wall then attach the painting to it, sometimes it’s not too bad”

It’s impressive how much hatred linux gets, by people who generally try to say it’s insignificant and unnoticeable.

But eh, better them say that it’s going to die, than with Windows where everyone agreed to say that it was dead after 7 and stopped having any expectations.

I’d say that it doesn’t belong anywhere.

So good people are doing this? Or trying to kick the “ugly” away isn’t evil, and is moray acceptable?

What’s your stance exactly?

It wouldn’t be good at it, it would at most be a little patch for non audited code.

In the end it would just be an AI-powered antivirus.

Might be less bad than other drugs but it’s not this magical thing that can never do anything wrong.

And that’s without counting things like driving under the influence of it.

I don’t remember exactly, they were trying to package some dependencies they needed with guix and it was just a big headache.

That’s not true though.

People really struggle understanding anything else than “it’s horribly deadly” and “it’s harmless”.

I’ve seen good devs, helped by the team of guix themselves, fail for weeks and weeks at making it work as intended. That’s not a working software.

Guix is far from being practical for most uses though.

Clothes very similar to the stereotypical “african clothes”, they have dark skin and it is a core part of their identity, they got the actor of Tyler as a way to have an “exotic” accent, they also made them cannibals, with weird voodoo religious rituals with suggested (even if not so simple) rape, and if I’m not mistaken they commit terrorist suicide attacks as well.

They feel like a concentrated mix of the racist ideas gathered over the past 200 years, and are used to show that they are scary. Or to make it more obvious, they are shown like “exotic brown people who hate the white ones, and just want to eat them, rape them, and suicide on them to mass murder civilians to instill fear”.

I’m not the only one who noticed that but I really can’t understand how anyone can not see it.

The weird ultra-racist stereotypes that sounded like they were designed by a colony-supporter of another era?

I wouldn’t call it a salty broth but a big racist piece of shit.

I wish there were proper bindings for python, but dearpygui is ugly as fuck to use.

Well from what you’re saying I’d go for something like EndeavourOS.

Based on arch, usable out of the box but without much preinstalled so that you can do your own mix. Manjaro is a bit similar but with more preinstalled (and maybe more bugs from what I read).

Most performance optimisation can be done through improving algorithms and data structures, and knowing well the language you’re using.

I don’t think I’ve encountered any performance issue that wasn’t either:

• Unavoidable because of what I’m doing
• Coming from an inefficient data structure or algorithm
• Coming from a bad use or pitfall of the language.

Of course there are specific cases such as low-power environments and such, but that’s not what most people talk about when they talk about performance.

I also would like to point out my confusion with the obsession towards performance when it’s not needed (such as “is languageA 10% faster than languageB?”) but then everyone putting web technologies everywhere, from games to desktop software. It’s starting to feel like performance is more of a cult than a pragmatic question at this point.

The idea of punishment is to prevent further misbehaviours, not to throw shit back at the kids. The goal is to teach the proper behaviour.

But hell is supposed to be eternal, and as such there is no evolving from it, making it not a punishment but a torture.

Now if you believe in torturing kids who misbehave just for the sake of making them suffer, that’s something else.
