I agree, unless you doing low level stuff where you need absolute control you should use a modern language with proper abstraction just to save time. Most use cases where they use C++ can be replaced with Rust or Go as they aren’t saddled with years tech debt and bloat due to having mantaining backwards compatibility.

All the others have great suggestions but I’d just like to add there many open source projects out there and given example code of how something is done and letting him play with it can be tremendously helpful. For example finding some simple 3d programs and lettting him change the source code to do whatever he wants or just giving him a template like https://editor.p5js.org/1alimaze/sketches/IJpxIEME8 which I made when I was first learning and letting him play with the values and add more objects.

Just use C. It solves all those problens given the most complicated feature is pointers and those hard aren’t to understand.

It about a comic called “loss” where which has the same character positions as the rectangles.

Fuck, now you made me have a loss as well. I am like -900 points in The Game.

Thank you all for offering advice. I did eventually get it working and repaired all the packages.

I couldn’t figure out how to mount /dev/sda1 and did pacman -Syu and then I mounted it once I figured it out now pacman says there is nothing to do.

There is a difference between steady and small.

Feeder, a RSS reader for Android. It has great UI, is fast at finding and parsing .xml from a li k and has a comfortable reading experience. It has basicslly replaced social media for me besides the fediverse. The only thing I wish it had was more customizability. Being able to install Nord theme on it would be great.

I used to exclusively use clang but IMO gcc is just as good if not better. Both are pretty bulky but sometimes the LLVM toolchain can feel like bloat. Most of the time GCC is preinstalled on my linux distro so I don’t even need to install it I just git clone my projects and run my Makefiles. The only reason I ever use clang now is on my chromebook because gcc isn’t available through Termux.

They are used a lot but I don’t think they could be called industry standard. Tons of people run vim, emacs and such aswell the occasional vendor provided IDE. Probably like 60% of software engineers run IntelliJ.

That only works when worker are less replaceable and desperate. Their are a lots of open job positions today but most pay less than the cost of living.

App seems nice and I have no complaints with it but it’s not FOSS and it has ads. It would be cool if there were easy ways to make revenue off of FOSS that dosen’t rely on donations so I understand why it would be proprietary.

Smooth scrolling makes me feel sick so that is more of a benefit when using Jerboa.

Maybe I can help you out. What distro are you using. Did you boot off usb and then install? How did you partition your SSD? Are you able to open a shell prompt?

I don’t know why this made me giggle so much.

Foo Fighters are a great band.

Just to warn you it might be very bulky and the model that the script is downloading is deprecated so you’ll have to find a different .gguf model on hugging face. Try to find a lightweight .gguf model and replace the MODEL variable with it nane as well the rest of the link. Or just download from a browser and move it into the models folder.

Iceraven + ublock origin and its all gone.

I believe Llama is open source but not sure how complicated it is to get running locally. Nevermind: https://replicate.com/blog/run-llama-locally

You can probably write a bash wrapper around it that feeds in “Can you summarize this text: (text here)” by setting the PROMPT variable the bash script. (Probably just do PROMPT=“Can you summarize this text: $1”) (Obviously don’t recompile everytime so remove the clone build and download code)
