Still learning, they just covered compiler flags in cs. They didn’t go into detail yet though.
Edit: I’ve used python for years and they have something equally dumb. You can have a function in a massive application that is broken and the moment it’s called, the application crashes.
At any other point the application will just run as if nothing is wrong even though python evaluates everything at runtime. I’m sure they can’t do much because the initial launch would be slow.
sudo pacman -Syu --needed cups system-config-printer avahi nss-mdns foomatic-{db,db-{engine, nonfree}}
sudo systemctl enable --now cups.socket avahi-daemon.service
Rebooting after helps if it doesn’t find the printer right away.
Machine code would be a better example of what he’s talking about imo. Not an expert or anything of course.
It wouldn’t be that much processing compared to the rest of the app. It would lot more efficient than running an effectively infinite loop or arithmetic on an arbitrarily large number as a result of an unsigned variables.
If it’s going to compile without any warnings I’d rather the app crash rather than continue execution with rogue values as it does now.
There is so much room for things like corrupted files or undocumented behavior until it crashes. Without the compiler babysitting you it’s a lot easier to find broken variables when they don’t point to garbage.
I forgot to assign a variable, now it crashes %5 of the time. It’s wild how c doesn’t default variables to null or something.
I do appreciate it, I know I’m no idiot.
To be honest, I kinda wish some projects came with API manuals. I understand it’s not a priority in an open source project with limited resources.
It would be nice to use a python based ml tool without passing commands through it via shell. People do it, I just don’t have the time or experience to analyze a complex project like ML voice synthesis.
I can be an idiot every once and a blue moon. Thank you to anyone who put literally everything a manual just in case someone is braindead and isn’t afraid to rtfm.
To be honest it’s just after I’ve spent 10 hours on something fairly complicated and new to me. I suddenly can’t think for myself anymore. It literally becomes a chore to do the simplest shit sometimes.
My computers are pretty new. It’s the small things that really eat at you though.
Glad I switched even with the teething pains with Nvidia and wayland. I can always fallback on x11 until the bug is squashed. Always new little problems popping up like Nvidia isn’t really tested well on the Wayland side.
Unless it’s a company, good luc…
Hay, how would you like writing documentation for all these open source projects? We would be ever greatful, you could even put your name in the credits!
The dankest depths of archlinux wiki. Written by a guy so far gone, so war harden by reading through source code and poorly written technical documentation, ancient forums, leaving no stone unturned. A task so twisted it drives most men crazy.
1% of arch users will ever need this wiki and few have gone through this Herculean task. For them, the first draft is enough, it’s all you can ask of a mind so twisted and broken. Alas it’s as unreadable as the source code and as hard to understand as the forum post from 2009.
Man people are weird, I guess people like web trackers & ads. I won’t bring up ad blockers up I guess.
So weird I thought people valued privacy.😅
It’s probably your ad blocker filtering thousands of trackers on YouTube.
I don’t develop kernel modules, I use python. That’s pretty interesting though.
Do your code reviewers subscribe to the didn’t check looks good model? Joking btw.
I’ve set tabs to four spaces in vim because who the fuck defaults tab to eight spaces. That shit looks alien and pushes text off the screen fast.
Last day at the company, pushed over 5,000 commits. Just style changes, still passes all the checks.
Yeah, virtual box doesn’t work all that well from my experience. If you’re on windows I’d definitely recommend checking out VMware. VMware even has support for windows 95 and stuff.
It’s been about five years but I’ve managed to install arch just fine on virtual box (in macos) but VMware is just a more robust polished experience and it has a free version on windows.
Arch isn’t that bad, it’s a lot of what you have to do in Gentoo. Infact Gentoo is more manual and hands on than arch with a lot more room for error. Arch has a lot of systems service made specifically to make install and maintenance easier.
I don’t know how long ago it was when you tried it but I’d give it another shot, it might surprise you! There’s a lot arch does to help you that most people don’t even realize.
I’m bad at naming things too🖐️
