Idk but you should at least suck a dick or two as a courtesy.

• Fortnite tried this with Darth Vader
• Fortnite is struggling so bad they had to lay off 1000 employees

Coincidence?

Phil is clearly an asshole. Why bend over backwards to save his project? Just let it die and move on. I know "Manjaro Linux" sounds cool, but a cool name isn't worth all this drama, especially since the distro itself is nothing special.

AI slop

Come on, you know if a dev doesn't offer an appimage, someone is going to shit on them for it.

How can money be real if our eyes aren't real?

There are a lot out there in C++ land, and I'm sure C has a lot too. You can't really go wrong with any if them tbh, just check if it has a lot of stars and go for it. I've used microprofile before and it served me well. You can view live data from an embedded webserver.

Perfetto is a powerful one from Google, but I've never used it.

Also, don't overlook gprof. That works via auto instrumentation done by the compiler, so it'll give you the most detailed look at performance with zero work from you (besides interpreting the sometimes massive amount of info)

Yeah it's weird, I was just being lazy with wording, but now I want to defend BMI a little since it's not that stupid. (I meant to say he didn't look like the stereotypical image of a morbidly obese person, which in hindsight isn't very productive)

It's true that BMI is only useful for "normal" people, which excludes pro-athletes/body builders with a lot more muscle than the average person, and people with conditions that affect their weight. For the vast majority of people, it's a useful metric for overall health. Anyone who cares about longevity and quality of life shouldn't ignore it just because it's uncomfortable to think about or "seems wrong" based on some self assessments. Obviously, there's a lot of stigma around being labelled as obese, but people are judgy assholes about everything. What's basically guaranteed, though, is that if you do lose weight to reach a "healthy" BMI, you will feel a lot better physically (and probably also mentally). Pains you didn't even realize you had will go away, you'll have more energy, etc.

I'm not saying you should lose weight, idgaf. Your life isn't mine, and I'm not here to give unsolicited advice. I just feel compelled to add some extra context so people don't draw hasty conclusions.

I don't know you, but I'll give you an example of someone I do know

• Didn't give a crap about computers throughout highschool. Didn't really know what he wanted to do in general

• Picks computer science last minute because it supposedly makes a lot of money

• Cruised through shitty community college doing the bare minimum, no side projects or any sign he's even interested

• At graduation time, he barely knows how to code. Has a github profile with some homework assignments he was forced to do

• Is part of the job market now, competing against you and me.

I don't know if he's employed as a software engineer right now, but I've worked with people who obviously fit the same profile. People who expect real work to be as simple as submitting a homework assignment last minute using shit you copy pasted from SO (or I guess ChatGPT now), and then fucking off to enjoy life while your coworkers are burdened by your incompetence.

This is a field where actually giving a shit is a requirement.

Not being the language for programming beginners and data scientists, probably aides that impression, though…

I think it was that back when it was relevant (but replace data scientists with web devs)

I never got interested in the ecosystem myself, but I've run into it every now and then. I feel like it's in the same place as PHP today: still used a lot for legacy reasons, but you'll get weird looks if you start a new project with it and you're under the age of 40

But how do you evaluate if people are unconsenting about an act before the act takes place? That'd be premature evaluation.

You didn't get my point. AWS is incentivized to offer the best product they can sell to their customers, regardless of license. If the Rust core utils reach feature parity with GNU core utils, then Rust's memory safety makes it the superior product (at least on security) and an easy sell to customers.

That is the point at which the license choice matters for what I said: when it's widely adopted by AWS customers. If it isn't GPL, then AWS is free to do what I described, and incentivized to do so.

Sure, if AWS customers widely adopted the BSD tools for whatever reason, then it'd be the same situation. I just don't see any particular reason for that to happen.
