You expect the people who have been oppressed, labelled terrorists, and silenced to "bring these people into the fold"; The same assholes who bootlick and enable powerful cunts to propagate their vile ways as the only way that works?

    I feel like the only people purged were the capitalist bootlickers and robber barons. It's always a cooked up story when "Doctors, Teachers, and Businessmen" were purged because you know it was just the last category that felt oppressed even at the slightest course-correction from their vile system.

    As an ML Acolyte, Even I can tell that it's a well known phenomenon that ensemble methods are more resilient to overfitting issues. What's fascinating is humanity's penchant to forget the past and rediscover stuff.

    There was an excellent point somewhere by some youtuber-coder. I don't remember off the top of my head.

    If you ever find yourself at the point where you are deciding on whether to fork a huge project or update to the latest version, you maybe just experiencing the consequence of deciding to have your core product have external dependencies at inception.

    I am paraphrasing of course.

    Now where are the 5 nerds here to tell me it’s bug free but I just need to get rid of my Nvidia card 🙄

    hi I am here. But you're barking up the wrong tree. Ask NVIDIA to fix their shit on Linux. It's unreasonable for open source devs to fix it when they don't even have access to the source code for NVIDIA drivers?

    Does this program need to save the data for the CRUD part?

    If so, it's best to make it into a standalone program that writes to a DB and maybe also provides APIs to external programs to query the data from the DB.

    I used to think I would donate 100% to software with my leftover money. Which is still true to a large extent but nowadays I feel like the real value for open source to succeed is not software, but hardware. We have significant amount of momentum in the software space and it would be wise for us to develop an opensource alternative to the industry with a good hardware base for {Desktop, Server, Mobile} with mobile being the most difficult to enter what with licenses to be obtained for closed source SIM Card drivers.

    That said, what's holding me back right now is that inflation is biting all of us in the ass and it seems prudent not to give away money in the off-chance that "What if I need it for some random expense?".

    I wish I could contribute my time in open source but between work, health and social obligations there's hardly any time or interest left to be excited to open up the text editor for a coding sesh at 9.30 pm in the evening, especially when video games, movies or fun with the spouse are the competing activities.

    Edit: On pressing the button to publish my comment I felt incredibly foolish as server is already a won space I reckon. Even desktop is fine i guess, only problem is mobile right now.

    I am professionally a software developer for 8 years and I simply don't have ideas for personal projects (Can't find any problem that I can fix with programming). At times I feel like that's natural and I shouldn't worry about it. But on the other hand, I do like to imagine having something personal that I can work on so that even if some days on my main job are not satisfying, I can always work on my hobby project and find that missing satisfaction.

    End goal here is obviously to get better sleep as sometimes my mind feels dissatisfied with the day's work.

    Funnily, I day-dream about the idea of already having done the boring parts (simply manifesting a project that already exists) of some personal project and only solving exciting problems in relation to adding a new feature or exciting aspects.

    This creates a problem as I hate staring at a blank file not knowing what to write.
