OmniSharp was still supported when I used it.
And I've used LSPs in Visual Studio Code, Vim, Kate, and Helix, and the LSP just kept getting in the way, making "suggestions" that it would contradict itself a minute later, or "correcting" things as I typed that just messed up my code.
I used to use LSPs all the time, feeling they somehow helped me code better, but then I just stopped using them because clangd had broken and I couldn't be fucked to fix it and suddenly had fun coding again and wrote code faster and better because my attention was on the code and not the endless errors and suggestions that would constantly flood my screen as I typed.

mostly had to use it in uni back whrn .net 7 was fresh (I think it was like 2 weeks old or something). Some Android stuff (if nightmares had nightmares, they'd be dotnet on Android), some Windows stuff with winforms and maui, some Linux stuff that connected to an MSSQL server, and also some random small things that were just me fucking about (mostly on Linux)
The tooling for dotnet was dogshit, the projects are 40% boilerplate, for Android it wants you dead for not using an IDE like Visual Studio or JetBrains Rider

I don't think you ever can truly guarantee correct code. On some semantic level, there's always potential for logic errors, and the higher up the abstraction pancake tower you go, the harder it is to catch them.

2026-05-01 22:04:01 UTC

well, the meta stuff has changed a bunch over the years, but the language itself can still be compiled just fine. All major C compilers support every C spec since K&R and up to at least C17 (though most support C23 as well by now).
Meanwhile look at the other major languages around: Python doesn't bother guaranteeing compatibility within the same major release, Java has new major releases like EA sports games, Rust can't even be bothered with making sure that their own compiler can be compiled with versions older than n - 2.

2026-05-01 21:53:24 UTC

- reply

Rust's only real guarantee is that it doesn't allow out of bounds memory access (something most languages these days don't allow unless you use explicitly unsafe ways of handling memory), but rust programmers treat it like it guarantees good code all the time always no matter what since the compiler rejects a lot of perfectly good code if you don't write some boilerplate it demands, which gives people the false sense that if the compiler accepted the code then it must be perfect.
Like, in some ways this is what INTERCAL made fun of, and now we're told it's innovation.

2026-05-01 21:49:02 UTC

- reply

For all of its flaws, C got a few things right: it's darn simple, and it has stable specs you can rely on. C code written 30 years ago still compiles fine today assuming all of the libs it requires are still around. All other major languages have had several releases with breaking changes since then (hell, with some languages like Python it's a miracle if you can get software written 5 years ago to run on the latest Python release)

I mean, I'm not even that much of a C head myself, but C programmers do this thing called actually thinking about potential issues, something that is beneath Rust programmers because their holy language handles anything and everything and if the compiler accepts code then it must be perfect.

2026-05-01 21:40:27 UTC

- reply

entirely possible, but regardless of the motive, the result is that rustacians have an almost religious faith in their holy language inherently preventing/fixing all problems ever, resulting in a LOT of garbage code with issues that wouldn't have sneaked past a human in other languages, even in C.

I think normally it's to the absolute truth, so you have to explicitly state "to the best of my knowledge" as part of the oath to shield yourself there, but also I'm not a lawyer so I have no idea.
However, I don't think it matters. Even with their relative losses compared to their golden age, the tobacco industry has more than enough money to butter up the right people and get away with it.

but will they ever suffer consequences for lying under oath? No, because they have a trillion excuses about how they didn't know yet (they absolutely did), most smokers are in denial about how they could quit at any moment, and, above all else, there's zero interesg from US authorities to do it.

I don't think it's so much people not seeing fascism, it's more that you have to 1) have a certain level of political knowledge to recognize the fascism before it's painfully obvious, and 2) be of a certain political leaning to call it for what it is instead of either agreeing with it or hoping to use it for your own political gain. And that political leaning happens to be exactly the one that everyone is told is evil and delusional, thus if they say something's fascist they must be wrong and the thing they say is fascist must most definitely be not fascist.
I'm not doing a great job explaining it, but it all boils down to there having been a sustained effort to demonize left wing ideologies, while fascism was downplayed as some long dead thing that's so far in the past you shouldn't bother with it except in the US where it was reduced to killing jews so zionists could call their critics antisemitic.

2026-04-13 19:30:18 UTC

- reply

because for the past 40 years we've been taught about how anything left-wing is communist and communism is evil, meanwhile fascism has always been talked about as some far away past thing that we should remember once existed but shouldn't think too much about because it's all in the past

how? Both WeeChat and Irssi log conversations by default. You have to go out of your way to configure them to *not* keep chatlogs

- most clients that I'm aware of can log chats, the server isn't involved with that
- you don't need to see every single message ever sent even while you're not there, it's fine, you can miss some conversations, it's not the end of the world
- WeeChat and irssi both just work. A rule of thumb with IRC clients is: avoid anything that looks flashy, extra avoid anything with "modern" on the front page. If it has barely changed in the last 20 years then it's exactly what you're looking for.
