Perpetuates the false dichotomy of a linear political spectrum of either liberal or conservative and that in and of itself is one of the reasons for these trends

the graph explicitly takes 1 dimension of the spectrum to look at it in isolation. This is exactly what single graphs do best.

which this survey completely ignores, conveniently

have you looked at the source of the graph?

Many men can barely afford to live, let alone even think of the joys of previous generations such as home ownership, having a family, or travelling.

this is true

Conservatism grows when people are struggling.

also true

Meanwhile the news is full of victory after victory for women, so of course they’re going to support the status quo more.

I don’t get this argument. “Supporting the status quo” is literally what conservatism is about, no?

there are 2 types of liberal: economical and social

Some people intentionally mix these two up as part of balley and motte argument. Some people mix them up intentionally because they don’t know any better.

i used http://vanilla-js.com/

my last super simple project with js:

• index.html
• main.js
• main.css

and the initial stuff was done with chatgpt. From start to finish the project took me about an hour (including deploying it to my server)

He also insists on refactoring any block of code longer than two lines into its own function

Thanks, uncle Bob.

but if for whatever reason your OS got borked and it took you more than a certain amount of hours to recover, you’d switch to Windows.

do you also count the time spent on arcane windows issues?

no, you’ll also have to learns each libraries special quirks on your OS

Interesting how college ruined your love for programming

it was probably the general pressure and depression.

and work got it back

the costumers and the colleague were nice people. I enjoyed solving actual real-life problems.

Studying Computer Science constantly fed me with new interesting ideas, and I still had more time to play around with those ideas.

after my first job, I went back to college (uni?) to get my masters. There I had lots of fun implementing some of the theoretical stuff.

what kind of projects or whatever can i do to have fun again without feeling stressed.

• Write programs that scratch your own itch.
• write bots for communities you care about.
• write userscripts/browserextentions
• do programming/hacking challenges

(for stuff that is always online, like a bot, or a webservice, I recommend getting a dedicated computer, like a raspberry pi or a small vps)

also some general recommendation

• keep you goals small and tangible. If a thing takes more than one sitting to complete, it will add to your stress when you add the remainder to your todo list.
• do the simplest thing, that could possibly work.
• when doing new stuff, use chatgpt to come up with a plan/boilerplate/demo/2nd opinion.

from personal experience: before I went to college, I had lots of fun doing programming challenges. During college I lost all interest in programming. At my first real job, I regained my love for programming, when I started programming things, that actual people need to improve their daily work. Since then I enjoy programming for work, as well as in my free time.

lemmy’s sarcasm detector is about as bad as reddit’s

I like it. you can visualize sizes with 3 orders of magnitude between them without one being microscopic.

What makes this graph shitty, is that the spheres don’t look very 3D.

Because it implies that synchronous code […] [is] still quite popular.

it isn’t?

why use a resource folder for it, when you can embed a base64 encoding directly into the source file?
