You can say the same things about sports betting.

It’s fucked up for sure. Investing is akin to gambling in Vegas. Any one otherwise inconsequential detail could completely bankrupt you, and we’re expected to pin our elder years on this system.

Burn in fucking Hell Raegan.

My question is why is this a backend universal question? This should be a per user/instance frontend solution; meaning I would curate my communities into a group on @lemmy.world and it’s unique to me.

Now I should be able to export or share my groupings if I want, and it should be read-only in the sense that if I post, I post to a single community and not the group as a whole. The only thing a backend should do is allow the frontend to retrieve posts from multiple communities in one call.

In other words, keep it simple.

I found this site which might help you in your search.

Food for thought (no pun intended), but unless you’re willing to build an app (could be a great app; I doubt you’re the only person who could use this), you might be over engineering this quite a bit. A spreadsheet could be made to do what you’re looking for, with much less effort.

Stanford has a free introduction course. There is also edX.

Now, I’ve only taken an introduction into cybersecurity at a graduate level, and I will say it’s a difficult career path to master. I’m not saying that to dissuade you, but rather give you a reasonable expectation of the level of effort. But it’s a super fascinating area of computing, and it’s certainly not going away any time soon.

Edit: Oh, and I forgot to mention Bioinfomatics where you could put your existing medical knowledge to use in a computing career.

A lot of technical positions are not getting replaced by computers. Especially cybersecurity.

When my dad was in hospice, laying in a coma, I poured my heart out to him saying good bye and all that. The next day he died. Might be a coincidence; it might not. I like to think that he got closure from my ramblings the night before.

Birthed me. Then they had the audacity to celebrate it each year there after.

This post is still not Linux related.

…the Logitech AI mouse.

That should be false advertising; both to consumers and investors. There is nothing AI about a dedicated button preprogrammed to launch an application that does the AI for you.

But I guess that further demonstrates your point about companies cramming shit in consumer’s faces to appease investors. It’s still a huge WTF in my book though.

I’ll admit I’m no c/c++ aficionado, but after a little research I see what you mean. Originally, C++ was a superset of C, but C has since diverged to include things that are not in C++. So we are both correct.

In before the pedants: clang is a c compiler, in that it compiles c code—but it also compiles other languages too. The distinction is that c, c++, rust, etc are compiled directly into byte code , whereas typescript is transpiled into another language (JavaScript) before it is executed. I’ll probably catch heat for this, but you can liken TypeScript to C++ because they both are supersets of another language.

I feel you’ve missed my entire point. My comment was not based on any technical merits of a language. It’s about a persons personal (religious) view of a tool they use to do their job.

I proudly use PHP, JavaScript, Java, Bash, and SQL. They have given me the means to make a long and fruitful 18+ year career. If my boss walked up to me tomorrow and said I needed to learn Python, or Rust, or even brainfuck, I’d learn it and be better for it.

Would it be as easy as my tried and true toolset? Not at first. I still remember the struggles I had when I was first learning my current toolset. It was frustrating. I remember cursing how stupid this or that was (especially PHP and JavaScript). But I learned, and now they’re not as frustrating — because I work with it, and not against it.

Look at JavaScript. Yeah it’s weird sometimes; if you don’t understand how it works. So people slap these transpiled languages or frameworks (like CoffeeScript or TypeScript or whatever) on top, trying to fix the things they think are wrong with JavaScript, and end up making a chaotic mess of the entire community. (And yes we could spend months arguing pros and cons of any merits of transpires and frameworks and why and what not, but then you’re still missing the point).

Anyway, the point is: if it works, then it’s good. Rust does not make Linux worse. If anything, it makes it better because it makes it more accessible to programmers who know Rust but not C. And that’s a good thing. It ensures the Linux kernel will be around longer than whomever ends up being the last C developer.

Those C developers bitching about how they don’t like the idea of rust in their kernel are akin to those old fogies yelling about those damned kids and their loud music or fashion sense.

This quote applies to so many situations and so many languages. It’s beautiful. 🧑‍🍳 💋

Typescript is always compiled down to JavaScript, so it’s kinda the same thing, but with “nicer” clothes.

People need to chill with the language fanaticism. It’s one thing to make jokes and rip on a language for its quirks, but at the end of the day it’s just a language. If you truly don’t like it, don’t use it. I’m going to take a stab and guess that there is enough Linux kernel source to go around to both the c devs and rust devs. Just be glad they’re not trying to rewrite it in JavaScript. 😉

FWIW, I’m referring to the local DNS (domain name system) resolver; the mechanism that resolves local domain names into IP addresses so that computers can talk to each other over the LAN.

Here is a good primer on the configuration files and their possible locations: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/resolved.conf.html

Edit: be careful because this is your domain name lookup you’re messing with. 😊

You make mostly good points — I still disagree, but I can at least see your side.

The divorce and kids thing though is not what you think it is. Divorce and child custody agreements are two separate legal things and child custody agreements are thankfully not a matter of public record.
