I’m not a conservative but I agree in principle that democrats should not be running on immigration as their main platform

That’s really cool. I always thought web components needed something more to be really useful. I work with vanilla web components at work all the time and they’re not really that fun to work with

Came here for this

Yeah I just don’t want to ditch my perfectly good Galaxy A54 until it’s actually broken

Is Android encrypted by default, or does it depend on the device vendor?

If my phone is physically compromised and the bootloader is unlocked, my hope is that storage encryption would make it a “non-issue”. Yes, they could wipe the device and delete my data then resell the phone, but at that point all they’ve stolen is a $300 phone with maybe $80 resale value and not my entire identity

Why is this project so plagued with drama

“how to problem solve” and “use logic” are, I believe, myths. When you teach someone to implement quicksort, all you’ve done is taught them to implement quicksort. Classroom based lectures and rote memorization do not impart any kind of broader “problem-solving” ability. This is an ex post rationalization by the perpetrators of the education system to justify their own existence. I place the value of what they do very low

If it’s about problem solving and using logic, why do we need to memorize quicksort? That’s not an example of using logic or problem solving

I want the ability to fully detach each view, pin/unpin, etc. like I can in visual studio.

I guess what I want is visual studio, but with the language and plugin support of vscode.

Maybe “blocky” isn’t the right word, but I dislike that everything is just a flat rectangle and not very readable. There’s no depth and very poor visual separation. I would like a document type UI where I can rearrange the components arbitrarily, like in Visual Studio

I bought the first switch so I could play Breath of the Wild. That and Mario Odyssey are really the only two games I’ve put a significant amount of time into on the platform.

Yes but everything is more expensive than ever

I think the reddit/lemmysphere is really underestimating just how many Nintendo fans are casual gamers who don’t see the PS5, Xbox, or Steam deck as viable competitors. They want to play Animal Crossing, Zelda, and Mario Kart.

It’s an internet thing. There’s a lot of people online who code but have no jobs. 4chan’s /dpt/ is full of them. They all code in ANSI C or Lisp or something

Only way to get hired with your credentials is with some serious networking. In your local area, look for code/tech meetups and talk with people. Look for “Code and Coffee” on meetup or facebook or something (though I must warn against caffeine consumption for teenagers!). You’ll most likely have to look for an internship rather than a Junior Dev position at first, which is typically the pipeline that companies use to hire Jr Engineers.

Another option is to look for “Tier 3 support” or “Integrations engineers”. Often, companies will look for people with minor coding skills to work directly with clients to help implement the company product for the client (for example, adding some custom widget to their wordpress site, new features for their salesforce instance, etc.)

These engineers don’t create the company product but they do get some experience scripting things and often they can use this position to transition to a full time engineering role. In my experience, these roles have far lower requirements to entry

I curse the sadist who decided True should be uppercase in Python

Do older technical people use 1:1 chat? I would think email is more common

Irc isn’t the competitor of xmpp. Discord is

There are people using xmpp? Last time I set up a server and tried using it with Pidgin, I couldn’t find a soul that used it
