Claiming that VSCode is not an IDE is just pedantic.

It is literally just a modular IDE that lets you pick and choose which piece you want rather then being like Visual Studio or XCode that is tailored for a single language / development flow.

Hell you still have to download core parts of XCode / VS after you download and install them like the development frameworks for your targets, does that mean that they’re not actually IDEs?

Drawing strong conclusions like ‘VSCode is an abomination that runs like dogshit and is worse than an Oracle product’, from an admittedly flawed comparison that does not demonstrate that, is inviting some antagonism.

The alternative to Electron not existing is that you have slower developed, clunkier software, that’s buggier and has fewer features.

There is no magic bullet of being like ‘just code the exact same thing in C’. There are tradeoffs to every development framework.

The upside to the situation is that electron has been a more successful cross platform development framework then literally anything that came before it, from Xamarin to Java. And it’s entirely based on open source software, and open web standards.

Lmao this is quite frankly, horseshit, upvoted by people who have never used an IDE.

VScode is lightweight, snappy, and fast to open. VSCodium gives you all of that without any of the Microsoft. And even runs in a web browser.

Because we didn’t evolve to live in lands of abundance. We evolved in scarce conditions and are attuned to that.

Food that delicious and high calorie would not be constantly available in the wild, so if we ever found anything close, it would be beneficial to eat as much as possible to store up calories and survive during periods of scarcity.

Decentralized identity management / verification is still the biggest unsolved problem of the fediverse, and inherently pressures things towards centralization.

Not fitting into Capitalism has nothing to do with common ADHD traits such as lack of emotional regulation, time blindness, and our tendency towards risky behaviors.

All of those traits generally make you a less predictable and harder to manage worker. Capitalism absolutely cares about those traits very significantly.

I could be anything from an Mesopotamian King to a rider in the Mongol horde to a Medieval Peasant and my brain would still have the same damn problems.

This is literally impossible to say. Your brain would still work similarly, but it would have been shaped by entirely different stimuli and environment, so it would not be working the same. It’s also entirely possible that those tendencies are beneficial in different historical contexts. Other systems like feudalism may also similarly view ADHD as a detriment, but that doesn’t mean that every system / context does.

I mean ~80% of the world’s population takes stimulants daily in the form of caffeine. Childhood ADHD rates are now at ~12%, and the testing criteria for ADHD revolves largely around whether it negatively impacts your life.

If everyone else is increasingly taking stimulants for it and you’re not, then you’re more likely to feel negatively impacted since you’ll stand out, which is likely to increase the diagnosis rate further.

I don’t think it’s unlikely that we see a world where like half the population has an ADHD diagnosis, and/or the treatment for ADHD (i.e. more effective stimulants then caffeine), become over the counter.

Humans are literally Jack of All Trades. The big evolutionary advantage of brain power is that it lets animals adapt to new things in a single lifetime, rather than having to evolve adaptations to it over generations, and humans primary evolutionary advantage is our massive generalized brain power.

Capitalism says to specialize, human nature says to be a jack of all trades.

I assume this community will disagree strongly, but ADHD honestly does not seem like an actual disorder (as in, an objective detriment, and one that evolution would select against in the long term), so much as just our brains not being particularly suited to capitalism and capitalists gas lighting the masses into thinking that’s abnormal.

You can fit text-only wikipedia on a normal Blu Ray as it’s only about 24GB. You can also easily fit Llama 3.1 or any of the other open, offline capable ai models as they’re only about 4GB.

False equivalency.

The Turing test is most specifically highlighted in movies like Blade Runner or Ex Machina where it’s a noire with a lone robot in a room being tested. In reality the future is more like Westworld where there are so many robots that can pass a basic Turing test that people are constantly engaged in more intense Turing tests at all times.

Do they regrow their body or a new body made from the same parts?

I’m not saying they were, I’m saying you are.

Friend group, work group, sports groups, friends of friends met at parties etc. It’s a sample size in the hundreds, and includes dozens who used to root their phones and install third party OSes in the early days of Android. It’s not insignificant to see zero usage when OP is claiming 50%. If their numbers are to be believed there should be regions where there’s close to 100% usage.

Lol I talk to family, friends, colleagues, people I play ports with. Have literally never once seen a Graphene phone.

I literally cannot think of anyone anymore who even roots their phone, let alone installs a third party OS.

Y’all are honestly deluded if you think it’s remotely close to OPs numbers.

Lol good luck on that promotion, you seem difficult to be around.

I wonder how your company handles performance reviews when you already know everything about all types of programming?

That variable is only created when the function is run, and it holds a constant value for the entirety of its lifetime.

It is literally constant from the perspective of the computer executing it. You’re the one adding an extra layer of expectation here.
