Then you do not do Javascript, because it is an interpreted language.

Edit: or Python, or a command line shell, or any CORS, or databases, or… Well idk really what you do use honestly.

Now that you mention it, it is a bit funny how Lemmy is hating LLMs as a code generation tool while also hating on the interpreter for their own hand typed code not running.

It was never intended to run full applications but only the small business scripts and hobbyist homepage stuff that were the thing in the 90s, across inconsistent browsers that were a jungle of hit and miss behaviour where it was preferred that menus keep working even if the mouse effect was not. Anything of scale was expected to be done in Java. Dynamic web pages did not exist and as anything not static was generated server side into a static html file to be rendered on the client.

Anyway, back then it wasn’t considered the job of the programming language to hold the hand of the aspiring developer as it is common today. It’s not a bad thing that IDE and even compilers and preprocessors try to help you write better code today, but then it simply didn’t exist.

JavaScript is from a different time and because it has the hard requirement or backwards compatibility there is no changing it and has not been for thirty years except to add stuff to it.

I think it’s just silly to ask the past to keep up with the present. Bad code is not the fault of the language regardless, even though junior devs and even seasoned ones like to think so to protect their ego. I think it is better to accept it, learn from it and roll with it because every single platform and language has their weird quirks anyway.

Signed, old dude that learned programming in 8 bit BASIC and 6502 machine code without an assembler, where code bad enough would freeze your machine that required a cold boot and starting over from your last save that you didn’t do.

People that try to do mathematical operations with strings blaming the programming language that had a stated design goal to do its best and try to keep running scripts that make no sense because they realized it would be used by people that have no idea what they are doing. Clearly they were right.

Why would it be? What would planetary time solve that local time makes an obstacle?

I’m thinking that maybe I should upgrade my old Win 10 Pro laptop to Windows 11 Pro, “just in case”, instead of going full Linux everywhere.

And then I read shite like this.

You’re not making it easy for me Microsoft.

Basically, yeah. Bind the “local” path on boot and then have systemd triggers for when USB mounts and unmounts to swap them automatically.

(Personally I wouldn’t do it like this though because it will become trouble with any open files or shell or whatever in a path that is replaced by a different mount.)

The easy solution would be to have a third common mount point for the two that is switched if the external drive is connected or not.

Care to elaborate why?

Fiddle, Tweak, Reinstall.

Because of biological programming. Humans are the only mammals with females that have permanent boobyliciously boobing boobies, so as per evolution it is no surprise that human males are going boinks for them. Size, shape, motion, who they be on are the mutual factors for any attractive body part, quite so also for boobs. They are cute when tight and jiggly, pretty when bouncy and cozy to feel up regardless of size, neat to catch a stolen glimpse and satisfactory to blblblblbl.

I don’t know what kind of shocking reveal you expect.

The people inside the walls told me to. I no longer dare to defy them.

Interesting. It’s like those data centers that ran on thousands of Xboxes

Wait what Mac?

It’s been the strategy of the right wing here since forever - get in power sell out as much they can (and for some unfathomable reason for discount prices), fuck things up in general, leave it to a left wing government to salvage what can be saved while blaming them for public service being garbage so they can motivate selling out more when they have power again. It’s a mix of blind idealists and profiteering scum that are in liaison with the right wing nationalist party with former nazi connections and obviously the Christian democrat leader that models the party according to the republicans is the most buddy-buddy with the fringe right.

And the populist right wing of course romanticises about the good days when everyone had housing and was safe and provided and so on - that was built solely by the left and the right wing fought them every step of the way and that they have since then torn down. Blatant lies and disinformation all the way.

But it is what people vote for. We get the societal break down we deserve.

Here in Sweden we currently have the problem that hospitals are understaffed and keeping wages of nurses so low that a lot of nurses quit and leave the others with an even crazier workload so the hospitals buy nurses semi permanently from temp agencies that cost multiple times more and the rental nurses have better pay and agreements of overtime and such. We had a well functioning health care but then the privatisation of everything and selling out communally owned services to private profit making schemes since the 90s. Because our government has been dominated by right wing market liberals and “sossehöger” - social democrats that jump on right wing populism to stay in power when they can rather than being consistent in left wing ideals.

Fucking end the market liberal experiment already. “The market solves all problems” - yeah, of it’s own interest which is how to squeeze out more profits regardless the how and how low it stoops.
