2044 - Blockchain is adopted as the global standard for financial transactions.

So you're telling me only 20 years until my Shiba Inu Moon Coin will finally make me rich?

I asked for girl sitting by a window and got a girl in windows

Well actually what you got is a girl sitting by a window in windows

It always baffles me that apparently in some places people still use sms. I mean besides the fact that it isn't encrypted at all, sms doesn't even give you group chats, the ability to send images and videos or many other of features basically every other messenger has, right? Where I live it's about (just guessing the numbers here tbh) 90 % WhatsApp, 7% telegram and 3 % signal. Is there any reason that in some places so many people stay with SMS? I don't think I've send or received one in the last 10 years or so (besides companies sending me a TAN or whatever)

I know meta is shit anyways, but what is the idea behind their Twitter competitor, like what is their selling point?

You either don't know what binary search is or you completely missed the context of this conversation

But the developer doesn’t need to provide support if you opt to use your own data storage and the storage itself fails. Google would be the one to contact if Google drive has an issue.

Well yes, but that's not how your average user thinks and acts. They will either a) contact you as the developer of the app that doesn't seem to work and when your say it's not your fault give you bad reviews or b) directly give you bad reviews.

The only thing she's mad about is that he wants to code in brainfuck

I only partly agree. The part remembers all those situations where a comment on reddit almost made me spit out my coffee while at work because I found it truly hilarious

Not all black people are African-American or even African or American, you know? I'd be way more irritated if someone called me African-American than black, since one of these is true and the other simply isn't.

I can physically feel the pain in the first one

This one is pure horror

I also think, we'll have ads at some point - and that's perfectly fine and understandable as long as these ads aren't too many and aren't too intrusive. My hope is that because of lemmy's federated nature a healthy competition will emerge. So whenever an instance starts overloading the users with ads, users will just move to another instance with less adds at the blink of an eye.

Yes because this isn't a reddit phenomenon but a human psychology phenomenon

Imo for configs it's fine having a config file that's accessed via static methods or a singleton. I'm open to any good arguments against that practice though.

Intuitively that makes perfect sense to me, since young and attractive humans is what people generate most often

By that definition almost all people who call themselves software engineers would be wrong. That doesn't automatically mean, you're wrong though.

Personally, I disagree with your definition of software engineers needing to directly interact with hardware stuff in order to be engineers. Wikipedia defines software engineering as

the application of systematic desciplined, quantifiable approach to development, operation and maintenance of software and the study of these approaches; that is, the application of engineering and computer science to software.

So it's all about the systematic approach to complex systems, not about whether or not you directly interact with hardware interfaces.

Why though? I've got no problem when Google sometimes leads me to an old reddit post. No need to have them all duplicated on lemmy. Let's just make lemmy the place for the new content

How does one even interact with mastodon from lemmy? So far I've only seen content from lemmy and kbin

As a former civil engineer who now works in software, "software engineer" irks me. "Engineer" means you're supposed to be licensed

This really depends on the country you live in. In some countries you need a license, some need you to have some kind of university degree and others don't care at all. So we cannot really use that measure as a definition.

It tried, I guess? Apparently the model wasn't trained enough on human gore/medical stuff
