wouldn’t be that difficult.

The amount of times I said that only to be quickly proven wrong by the fundamental forces of existence is the reason that’s going to be written on my tombstone.

Look at this fancy guy using an abacus. Everyone knows the superior way is to harness your own mind as your computer.

It’s way worse on C and it’s family. I still have nightmares with undocumented embedded dependencies that are so intertwined with the codebase that make JS look like a godsend.

The only complaint I have, and it’s not really a problem with the OS itself, is that the Realtek driver is unstable at best, and will crash every five minutes.

Let me tell you some shocking news: Most of the majors in Computer Science and Engineering (in the university I took it, one of the most prestigious in my country) don’t know shit about software engineering. They know only how to burp out the same leetcode style programs they were taught and that’s it. I’d trust a guy that managed to learn software engineering on it’s own through years of FAFO than (most) university majors.

Easy: murder everyone. Which will probably be the course of action this Skynet will take.

I think the Butlerian Jihad can’t do shit against Judgment Day.

Someone could have hidden something malicious within your ideas, better create a whole new conceptual system.

In order to delete an element or replace it based on a list, you definitely need JS. You have no other way to access the DOM.

Without JS, you wouldn’t have ad blockers and youtube could just bake their ads on the videos themselves while streaming them. Thinking about it, I don’t think it’s off the table for them.

Yes, I also realised that a while after posting my comment. Corporativism is a plague that turns everything into a shittier version of itself.

I’ve seen a lot of native applications run way worse compared to their electron alternatives. The problem is most devs don’t give a shit about code optimization.

but a few JS-blocking users have complained about having a barebones experience.

Well no shit, have they ever wondered why the language was created in the first place?

Well, given the C projects I’ve worked on take hours just to compile, I think I can cut some slack for any IDE for being slow. Though I haven’t used CLion a lot so I can’t really speak from experience about it. Though VSCode is fast enough most of the times, and it usually only gets slower with nested macro fuckery and/or external library headers.

Playing the devil’s advocate here, even IDEs like Visual Studio and IntelliJ have multiple times crashed on me or taken ages to update a single line on intellisense. C++ is simply a language where a dynamic LSP is everything but easy to make.

No need to be sorry, I am well aware I can be wrong, and I prefer to learn something new than being bashed for being wrong.

Maybe I phrased it in a way different than I thought about it. I didn’t mean to claim that Shannon-Fano or Huffman are THE most efficient ways of doing it, but rather that comparing it to the massive overhead of running a LLM to compress a file, the current methods are way more resource efficient, even one as obsolete as Shannon-Fano codes.

I should probably have mentioned an algorithm like LZMA, or gzip, like you did.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t algorithms like Huffman or even Shannon-Fano code with blocks already pack the files as efficiently as possible? It’s impossible to compress a file beyond it’s entropy, and those algorithms get pretty damn close to it.

Then there’s KBin, which communicates with both.

Would you prefer Javascript?

It’s a Realtek, don’t remember the exact model, but every time I tried to make it work, it simply didn’t. Manually installing the driver didn’t get me much further either.
