Non ironically: In practice it mostly boils down to experience, writing relatively efficient software should not take much more time or even long term accelerate development (less time to wait) (I don’t talk about the last few percent of compiler reverse-engineered SIMD optimisation that takes time…)
I detest the state modern web development has downspiraled to. I bet I’m faster writing a big application in Vanilla js vs using the abomination that Next.Js has come to…
Yeah I have sometimes the feeling that stuff like this is rubbed of to real executives/managers who e.g. think a small team of programmers can achieve a big application in a manner of days or something…
Or free shipping at xx Euros, which results in me paying/buying a lot more unnecessary stuff…
I’ll make it simple, as I don’t care about losing “that argument”: Don’t feed the troll
So in other words you’re trolling and don’t care about being right or wrong…
Ok, right the details are a lot of work to “survive”. In case you’re really completely isolated from society. I agree with that. Definition of harmony is what I probably missed (I did not necessarily mean the romantic understanding of it), you’re a lot more dependent on it. I did though in fact live somewhat remote for some time (as volunteer) and did indeed thrive there, I like hard rather primitive work in nature. The exact circumstances are also important (i.e. does it rain a lot, is climate mild, is winter hard (heating etc.)). But… you actually do stuff that makes sense, as your survival depends on it. Not like having to fix zillions of bugs in an overabstracted frontend, having to deal with incompetent but arrogant and power hungry bosses and all that artificial stress we have put our lives in. Or having to read the non ending negative influx of idiocracy that Trump produces everyday.
I rather like to keep things more fundamental. And I think if you’re up for it (i.e. active/fit, craftly etc.) it can be fullfilling. Obviously it’s not as romantic as you probably imagine most of the time. But I rather like to deal with this than having to get angry about society not seeing that our probably most important problem is climate change and not migrants etc. and not caring enough about it.
So you’re extrapolating from this single case? As I say, if you know what you’re doing it’s less effort than you think, you let nature do its thing for you and just nudge it in the right direction, so you just harvest the fruits. And yet again, just because that lifestyle isn’t for you it can still be for others…
And that is relevant how? I don’t say that it’s a lifestyle for the average person, definitely not.
Not sure if you have control over it, but the ones I’ve used didn’t even smell when directly smelling over them. Not sure if there was something mixed in there too, to reduce the smell further. The owners used the resulting humus as fertilizer too.
In theory cities are more efficient, than living off-grid, I agree.
In reality though if you’re really careful and know what you’re doing (and are really disciplined and have educated yourself), you can live a true carbon neutral life.
All the infrastructure in cities and everything around modern life is just destructive in so many ways unfortunately…
And unfortunately the mass of people don’t care enough, to initiate the necessary systemic changes to make cities truly sustainable…
Counterpoint: I tried and I want to leave this broken society even more now (especially since societal enshitification seems to even accelerate).
Though you still need social contacts (that you really like) to avoid loneliness, so in case you have that, it’s a wonderful, peaceful and healthy way to live more in harmony with nature, but it’s a lot of work nonetheless.
I have a quite good experience with these, and was surprised how little they smell (but it was an outside toilet with an incredible view)
Based.
Yeah it’s sad that LG didn’t maintain that niche of high quality DAC jack phones. Also still stuck with my V30…
Like not get what you’ve got?
But it’s difficult to get a decent phone with a jack these days, that’s true…
I know a lot of people that lost their headphones, I don’t have that issue.
Also I’m a musician with pretty good custom IEMs. I have to use a very energy hungry external DAC (and while that I can’t easily charge), if I wouldn’t still have a jack (with a very good DAC)
My main issue with external DACs is how fast they drain my battery…
You must not be old enough to remember the 2008 election, then. People were accusing Obama of being the literal antichrist
Oh I was old enough, I didn’t follow the election that time that closely, as IMO it wasn’t that important as the last 3 (and I wasn’t that political either) Though something like the Project 2025 were just not existing that time, and while Trump maybe always a crazy person, that all of this is that socially acceptable (conspiracies, lies across all dimensions) is a concerning trend (towards fascism, as Hitler etc. used similar rhetoric).
Maybe in hindsight it’s hard to make a comparisons, but every election since then has represented the same choice between ‘sane’ democrats and ‘crazy’ conservatives.
Right, as I said, I don’t promote what the policy of the democrats is, I’m just concerned what the alternative looks like…
the same rhetoric that’s been used for the last 5-6 elections at least
Nah, maybe a little bit for the last trump election where he dipped his toes into autocratic territory, now that he got support again (even House and Congress) he can go full autocratic. Everyone that’s at least a little bit educated politically and economically shakes their head about Trump, and did so before the election too. It’s not a rhetoric that was used before that much. Electing republicans was always a little bit correlated with stupidity but not like: Go full Trumpler/Hitler, full on conspiracy, “anti-establishment” (the opposite seems to be true, thinking about that there were never more billionaires in political power than ever before). The stupidity for a lot of americans seems to be at an all time high too.
Nah I really don’t understand why people were omitting this election, just because they were in slight disagreement with the democrats (over things, where trump is orders of magnitudes worse)…
the biggest reason is usually because they (rightly) feel like the choice has little actual impact on their day-to-day life
Yeah and now take a close look at what Trump was “able” to do in just 4 months. Lets sum it up: it’s not a good outlook for the economy (and especially poor people) in the USA. And it does hurt globally too. A single vote may not have much impact, but it can prevent this shitty state the US is in currently (“if everyone thinks like that…”)
Blaming those voters without asking yourself why there were more of them this election is nothing more than political masturbation.
Ah common that’s bullshit, I mean I’m mostly blaming republican voters that were for the most part voting against their own interests… The system is absolutely flawed, but people should at least try to prevent the worst (which they seemingly didn’t).
And just a reminder that the democratic party does actually have members in its caucus that have a higher than 60% approval rating nationwide, but for some reason they chose not to run those candidates
Yeah there absolutely better candidates, and I really hope, that progressives like AOC gain much more power and the democrats are able to turn left. But then, there’s still the question if there’s an election again that is not a total shallow joke, so that democrats (or maybe even other parties) get a realistic chance for power again.
Seeing the downvotes here to something in my eyes obvious, really makes me want to block lemmy.ml. Are there really that much Trumpler-loving-Tankies around here? Such a contradiction: Hypercapitalism fueled autocracy, the only thing (I think) tankies and MAGAs agree with is probably autocracy.
Welcome to Rust which “solves” this issue…
Yeah it takes more time than a quick and dirty python script. But when I’m counting the countless hours (what irony) into this equation because of mindless leaky abstractions and resulting debugging, I’m certain that I’m at least not a lot slower writing that. As I said I’m not talking about the last 10-20% of performance that’s possible say even up to 40%, but more like an order of magnitude (at least), i.e. algorithmically insufficient or relying too much on that your abstractions do everything right and you use it correctly (which in the case of react is seemingly not the case, when looking at the modern web).
Taking that example (Rust) again, I very often get away with
.clone()everywhere, i.e. not even caring much about performance while the performance is not significantly impacted. Then I switch to our typescript code-base in my job and get aggressions because of this extreme slowness (because of stupid abstractceptions, like wtf? shadcn needs to be built on radix-ui needs to be built on react etc. which in effect results in a slow abstraction-hell… and leaky abstractions everywhere)
