what are you asking when you say "is _____ a meme"?

as for how you justify spending money on anything, you can ask that of literally everything you buy that's more than just gruel to keep you alive.

They're expensive but will last forever anyways

Current progress report from last thread:
tl;dr: major changes that you can't see

I've been doing a major refactor, throwing out half the code in some files. Means no new features but removes barriers to adding them. Most of the directory structure has been moved around to better reflect our future.

All the OpenGL/glfw code is now container in only 2 classes. Paving the way for older OpenGL support, framebuffer and textual interface.

However OpenGL optimizations did take a step backwards: resizing is super fast but a render (which only happens on load or on resize) is much slower. Though this new structure will allow for texture atlasing.

Doing research on how I want to structure my javascript interpreter for next week's work. Also spent some time today on research for vi-style key bindings and looked into https://reproducible-builds.org/.

A lot of breaking things that used to work. Spending hours finding the change that broke them before fixing and repeating.

You're not the real odilitime, nice try

>>62324394
No.
You should have been using it since way before MPC-HC was dead.

>>62324773
yeah i guess. i've been messing with mpv for a while now, but every time i need something i have to look it up in the manual or ask in the general here. it's cool but it takes a lot of time, probably gonna use mpc-be now

>>62324829
MPC-BE is super comfy. It's a no-brainer if you're on Windows.
Otherwise mpv is a decent enough alternative.

I got Monoprice 5" studio monitors on sale for $160 about a year ago.

i prefer it's UI to chrome's

Take a look at Vivaldi. It's actually fucking sexy.

>without referring to memes like "HURR GOOGLE BOTNET"
>The intentions of the people who creates the program doesn't matter.
As long the software is created by humans and not by completely unbiased machines i think it matters. Also nightly feels as fast or more than chrome for me but if it's not your case i respect that.

i kind of feel my phone is too thin so the case helps with grip a bit. plus my case has a little indent for putting a metal plate which i use with the magnetic dock in my car

I bought a Note8.
Even though I have insurance for it, i still have a case on it.

Glass back, glass front.


Minimally i'd have to have a vinyl skin protecting the back.

Only thing that comes to mind is Terry expects everyone with Temple OS to be fashioning their own circuits.

IT is a dead end. go take up a trades course like welding or plumbing. they can't outsource welders or plumbers to india.

>>62323768
Not op but welding will destroy your eyes and the wages are shitty. It's about to die off too thanks to automation and gas prices going down the sinker.

Plumbing is good but it's a shitty job.

>>co opted into dogmatic trash (see TDD).
>could you expand on that point?
Periodically you see kinds of cultural movements among people who program, groups of people who think doing some thing will make programming easier/faster/more rewarding. The most obvious example is programming languages, but it doesn't have to be that, development methodologies (agile, XP), test strategies (TDD, BDD), paradigms (structured, OOP, FP), whatever. People do these things and it works well for them so they go out and try and convince other people to do them to.

Sometimes, at some point in the evangelization process, non-technical arguments get created for why a thing is good, or technical arguments get reduced into something that's supposed to be understandable to non-technical audiences. Sometimes those second order arguments are really compelling, managers, recruiters, CEOs hear them and think "if my programmers do this, I'll save money/get promoted/get laid" and so the set out to make their subordinates do that thing.

Being non-technical they don't know how though, so they hire other people to their their people how to do this supposedly great thing. But they need to be sure they don't get ripped off so metrics need to be drawn up to figure out if programmers are actually doing whatever it is that's supposed to be great. There then becomes an intense focus on managing that metic and showing value to management. In this process of boomeranging an idea from a technical community to management and back into the community as an edict from the top often whatever was good in the original idea is totally lost.

TDD is a great example of this: even though the community from which TDD emerged strongly denies that code coverage is a meaningful metric it's what get policed in corporate TDD environments. The people generally responsible for making TDD happen just have a dogmatic idea of "high coverage = good code" without understanding why.
