joelthelion@lemmy.worldto Programming@programming.dev•Codingame - Summer Challenge 2024 - Olymbits - Bot Programming Challenge4·1 year agoI’m participating! Codingame is a lot of fun, I highly recommend it.
Is posix still relevant in any way?

joelthelion@lemmy.worldto Programming@programming.dev•Recommend me a programming language101·1 year agoRust, haskell, python, c++ are all interesting choices. I would argue that c# is too close to what you already know to be interesting.
If I were you though, I’d pick a project first, then decide what language makes sense for it.
Am I the only one to still use regular vim? I tried to switch to Neovim a few years ago, but there were a few things I didn’t like, so I switched back. Vim has improved tremendously, so I no longer feel a need to switch. With LSP and Copilot, I feel that I am close to the optimal dev environment these days…

joelthelion@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.ml•EU moves to outlaw fees on hand luggage, seat allocation9·2 years agoGetting rid of these fees means they will be displayed in the overall cost, which might in turn reduce the number of people flying.
30€ flights (that you end up paying more due to these hidden costs) are definitely part of the problem.

joelthelion@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.ml•Antisemitism definition used by UK universities leading to ‘unreasonable’ accusations12·2 years ago“Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”
Yep, that’s pretty vague
joelthelion@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.ml•Amid abaya ban, French school sends girl home for wearing kimono: Lawyer85·2 years agoI’m talking specifically about this “kimono” story. Being french, I also know what’s going on there.
joelthelion@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.ml•Amid abaya ban, French school sends girl home for wearing kimono: Lawyer1226·2 years agoYou’re reading al Jazeera. There’s a good chance that there is a second side to this story.
joelthelion@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.ml•‘They Treat Us Worse Than Animals’: Working Without Water at Amazon514·2 years agoI don’t buy on Amazon anymore. Not only to they treat their employees like crap, but also it’s harder and harder to find quality stuff on their platform. Fake reviews are a huge problem.
joelthelion@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.ml•UK carries out first-ever womb transplant as sister donates uterus5·2 years agoI wonder if the older sister could have served as a surrogate mother instead? It’s not the same of course, but it could be a lighter weight alternative to this heavy surgery…
joelthelion@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.ml•Wells Fargo customers scramble after deposits disappear from their accounts11·2 years agoI’m willing to bet a team of untrained, uneducated, software/data engineers receiving big salaries are responsible for this.
I’d be willing to bet that they’ve outsourced to India instead.
joelthelion@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.ml•Fitch downgrades US credit rating from AAA to AA+16·2 years agoThis is big news. It will have repercussions on the way big pension funds invest their money, which in turn will affect interest rates, share prices, etc. In the long run, this is definitely going to have real-world repercussions, even if it’s hard to see exactly what right now.
joelthelion@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.ml•1 in 10 flights taking off from UK are private jetsEnglish61·2 years agoDoing our part includes reducing our consumption. Where things are produced doesn’t matter all that much for this part of the problem.
joelthelion@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.ml•1 in 10 flights taking off from UK are private jetsEnglish146·2 years agoThis kind of reasoning is why we are not making progress. It’s much easier to hold others to high standards when you’ve applied these to yourself first. The same goes for countries: it will be easier to pressure China/India when the West has done their part.
joelthelion@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.ml•1 in 10 flights taking off from UK are private jets114·2 years agoWe need both. The elite’s footprint is gross and disgusting, but we peasants are far more numerous, so reducing the elite’s footprint alone won’t do the trick.
I think you might want to go through a python tutorial before you start on coding game. It can get frustrating if you don’t know the basics.
