Nah, I was excited to read about the algorithmic change, but it turned out to be an obvious change. I would replace nested loops with a map too. The result is impressive, though.

Once I wrote an annoying program adding acceleration to the mouse cursor, so it was difficult to click any UI item. It was written in Object Pascal with Win API and weighted 16 KB. And I think in C it would be even smaller.

It’s all because of Electron, unnecessary libraries, and just bad coders. Asus Armoury Crate weighs a lot and is so slow, but it’s basically a simple app. Total Commander has much more features, but it’s fast, lightweight, and consumes 9 MB of RAM.

Samsung is from South Korea, and their flagships are on par with iPhones.

Many companies chose cheap coders over good coders, even without AI. Companies I heard of have pretty bad code bases, and they don’t use AI for software development. Even my company preferred cheap coders and fast development, and the code base from that time is terrible, because our management didn’t know what good code is and why it’s important. For such companies, AI can make development even faster, and I doubt code quality will suffer.

It depends. AI can help writing good code. Or it can write bad code. It depends on the developer’s goals.

This game looked like a scam before release. The developers copied art style and their trailer scenes from other games, and never shown gameplay videos. In the trailers it looked like AAA, but was developed by a studio without required experience. There were doubts the game existed at all. Well, it existed, but was far from what trailers shown.

A good GUI can solve most problems.

The Justice pic: a man yells at the kids stealing apples from his garden, while the kids are running away, loosing all the apples.

It’s because lemmy.world invalidated tokens. Re-login fixes the issue.

There’s “Block community” in the three dots menu.

I tried only Jerboa and Liftoff. Liftoff has a customizable UI, all the features I need, and tells when a post or comment was made (unlike Jerboa).

Liftoff, it’s functional and looks good. Waiting to try Sync for Lemmy, though.
