They get hated on because :

• they inspect packets. They terminate the TLS sessions at their servers and reencrypt to forward to the backend. This allows them to analyze the data to spot spam, optimize compression and such

• they are used everywhere. If they go down, 30% of the internet goes with them.

I already thought about disabling the dedicated GPU on that laptop, but I unfortunately cannot since I need it to train neural networks and the occasional lan party at, work

If you need a UI, flutter is great, but for a complete beginner it has a bit of a learning curve.

Maybe you could start with a small PWA (progressive web app) using Javascript or typescript. You can do it all in the front-end for something small like this, though you won’t be able to implement some features like synchronization across devices

Isn’t that when trolls decided to post child abuse material on lemmy world? Since it’s a large instance it federated to a bunch of others whose admin, rightfully so, decided to take down their instance to avoid legal repercussions, as well as take the time to clean everything up

My hot take is that I find it so much more pleasant to write typescript and do most of the work in the front-end rather than deal with optimizing the response time of the backend day in and day out. With SPAs it’s so much easier to fetch just what is needed rather than have monolithic responses that take ages to arrive. Makes caching and cache invalidation that much easier too.

I find that very strenuous on my eyes tbh

VS Code absolutely has refactoring built in. Pressing F2 on a token renames it everywhere it’s referenced

My company didn’t leave me a choice, I got an XPS 15 which I had to setup with my distro of choice (but all the internal tooling is for Ubuntu, I personally would have preferred to install Fedora or Debian 12 with i3wm).

It’s not that bad a laptop but it overheats like crazy and has really shit battery life (barely enough for a meeting), and some of its features I can’t explain : why is a 4k touchscreen on a laptop a good thing? It eats 4x the battery for no noticeable visual improvement. I don’t use my laptop 5 inches from my face.

I’ll die on that hill, but can is better than glass bottle. There’s more fizz going on. Soda tastes also fresher

I see what you did there.

For me ML stands for Machine Learning. Mali is sitting on a goldmine of a tld, and could turn into Tuvalu
