MolecularCactus1324@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Puzzled Trump Says He Has No Idea Why Musk Supported Him in the First PlaceEnglish2·8 days agoI think Musks playbook is to be the excited investor at first who gets involved with the company. Later, he bullies the founders out and takes it over. That obviously can’t work for the presidency.
MolecularCactus1324@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Puzzled Trump Says He Has No Idea Why Musk Supported Him in the First PlaceEnglish9·8 days agoHe didn’t want Trump to kill EVs, but Elon is a narcissist and batshit and doesn’t know how to walk a fine line. He has to dominate and that’s what he tried to do. Probably could’ve been more successful if he just acted like a loyal supporter to Trump and ran his business.

MolecularCactus1324@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Java at 30: How a language designed for a failed gadget became a global powerhouseEnglish1·21 days agoC++ has classes though and if you start with C and then try to go to other Object-oriented languages you’ll be a little lost. But, by learning C++ first, you’re pretty much learning C at the same time, you just need to avoid using classes.
MolecularCactus1324@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Java at 30: How a language designed for a failed gadget became a global powerhouseEnglish111·21 days agoI learned C++ as my first language and it was a great way to understand the core issues of a programming language — like memory allocation, memory freeing, the difference between memory addresses and the memory contents themselves, threads, system calls, etc. Java obscures these nuances to a degree, but Python is too friendly and makes it hard to understand them at all.
I believe if you learn C++ you can easily learn any other language. After C++, I learned Python, JavaScript, and Java in a few days each without formal instruction. If you learn Python first, you’re probably going to struggle learning those other languages because you haven’t grasped the lower level concepts yet and may never if you’re not in a formal setting that forced you to learn them.
No one disagrees that Python is easier, but if your goal is to get a foundation in programming that allows you to easily pick up other languages, you should start with C++.
MolecularCactus1324@lemmy.worldto Helldivers 2@lemmy.ca•Helldivers 2 sees over 2,600 negative Steam reviews in one day, a 40x increase from 2 days ago, as players accuse Arrowhead of forging the Galactic War narrative and apparently forget how war worksEnglish101·22 days agoI am mostly a bug diver, but I’ve been playing the Super Earth maps. What I find annoying is the match making. It is very easy to find a match on bug planets normally, but very hard on super earth. I usually need to start a game and then SOS to fill slots. Also, the maps are kind of repetitive. It would be nice if there was some variation based on where you are, rather than treating every city on earth like it’s basically identical. Finally, there is some bug where calling in stratagems does not work unless you enter the combination extremely slowly. Overtime, I’ve memorized some combos by muscle memory and can do it in a split second, but now I need to do it extremely slowly, which is hard to pull off while you’re being chased. And, I do have to agree that the illuminate are kind of annoying. Being constantly pestered by zombies chasing you just gets old. Let me just fucking stand here for a minute.

MolecularCactus1324@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Meta and Palmer Luckey's Anduril Industries partner to build EagleEye, a new AI-powered weapons system, including rugged helmets, glasses, and other wearablesEnglish11·23 days agoPalmer Luckey is one of the ugliest mother fuckers I’ve ever seen in my life. Glad to see him and Zuck buried the hatchet, now that Zuck is kissing Trumps ass.

My social studies teacher cited this 20 years ago as a major reason electronics manufacturing was done primarily in China and other Asian countries. Point being — it’s hardly The NY Times saying this on its own. It’s widely accepted.

They sell a Linux phone for $800. If you want the same phone built in the US, they charge $2000.
MolecularCactus1324@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Digg founder Kevin Rose offers to buy Pocket from MozillaEnglish10·29 days agoYeah he was on Screen Savers with Sarah Lane (who he dated) and then Alex Albrecht. TechTV was bought by G4 and Screen Savers became Attack of the Show. While at TechTV, he started digg and actually advertised it on the Screen Savers, without clarifying that he was the owner (sneaky). Later, G4 fired all the Tech TV staff, so Kevin worked on digg full time. He went on to start diggnation podcast with Alex Albrecht — which they’ve recently brought back. As many know, when digg v4 launched, it was widely rejected, and the site lost its user base to Reddit. Now he’s trying to revive it with one of the Reddit cofounders after more than a decade.

Digg has been basically dead for 15 years.
