Is there a free FOSS version of it?

I’m typing this on my lemmy “server” PC, an 8500 i5 running Linux Mint (and lemmy.mindoki.com yay !)

I keep my 2600X Windows machine but I more and more rarely feel the need to go back to it. Photoshop something quickly or scan or print something, got a lot of stuff on the drives, … not very much more! Guess I’ll have to deal with some specific stuff if I want to fire up my 3D printer, but once the change done, it’s done forever I feel, and not like every windows update you have to re-do/learn something again…

Ah, you wanted some sort of comment? Sorry, I was just ranting :-D

Excellent GG!!

Well you can do it the ‘old’ way serving front (pages) from the back like PHP did it.

Turbo Pascal, Go, assembler and Basic I guess :-D

He mixed up spaces and tabs, threw the keyboard out the window.

Python is nice.

Python is cool IMO, got loads of libraries and gets your little app up in notime.

Not for larger projects though.

JavaScript is like the unsafest language I have touched in the last 20 years, yikes!

Still would use it as a web front end instead of python ofc.

Got a 3b a loong time ago and I love it, I use it as a jukebox and a tinker station.

Would love to get another one but man are they crazily expensive now. Tried the banana and orange pis and the are like okay but yep, they are different and doesn’t seem to have the same community at all.

Chip shortage please go away!

Edit: I buy old dell optiplexes for like 40€ instead but they do take up quite the space…

Do you thing 3dstudio would work in a VM?

Matrix multiplications could be at least somehow multi threaded and few fields has been more optimized than displaying 3D. Do you mean simulations maybe?

I would have thought they were done mostly on the GPU nowadays?

As we all did with winxp, hangout and even facebook, and yeah a whole slew of stuff that did seem nice at one moment.

The next moment it wasn’t there any more in the way we liked it!

FOSS on the other hand is here to stay.

Windows chance , and . depending on the language settings, so yeah so so simple and helpful :-/

And usability, windows gets more and more complicated IMO, and not in the “fun” way Linux can be completed.

Yeah but a “good language” isn’t some obscure, “better on the paper” language or some popular one, but one that has a large community, and not only in amateur circles.

That’s why C/C++ is so hated but also so much used. Python is way easier but has the userbase and the libraries. If you don’t need the speed, or memory management, you can do about anything with python.

Maybe Rust will take the place one day, or typescript, or kotlin, or JavaScript, or “insert new killer language” …

Python is used by the research community, and by a whole slew of companies since a long time. You have a problem? You’ll find the solution quickly.

Dealing with large projects? Go with C/C++ then ;-) I mean it’s all about architecture.

Yeah Julia seems to be just python but better (no GIL if I have understood things correctly).

Sure, but it does get compiler behind the scenes to pyx files.

Python is basically (IMO) C/C++ made easy.

Billions of libraries, works on even obscure hardware, simple syntax, no compiling(it’s behinde the scene and just like always works) or linking etc. etc. etc.

Edit: this implies that C/C++ is the best language ever of course. Let the flame wars begin!

Error 404

Look at those car assurances !!

My VPN is supposed to not keep information about who is using which IP, no logs and no government possibility to have them doing it silently (Swiss VPN).

Or are you meaning fingerprinting by my navigator etc?

Genuinely interested.

You can try a boot from usb key too for example.
