>>106868it's much much harder to write less code and to document it. that's a full focus, good sleep, good communication whitepeople thing.
most enterprise programming is about abstracting problems away, making existing solutions somewhat reusable, not messing with and breaking the existing thing, making the code more and more declarative (what 2 do it in business terms) than procedural (how 2 do it in terms of lower level compooter language).
it is easier to just pass the output of the existing thing to a new thing that is relatively quickly written as a wrapper for the specific to the task at hand, made with the highest level most human readable naming abstractions.
that's one way incomprehensible jeetcode bloat nonsense maze gets made. one abstraction around another. functions and classes (a collection of data + it's associated functions) for the most simple that get extended and wrapped endlessly. random hooks and callbacks into the existing code to extend it's functionality without changing it proper risking of breaking it. more function parameters tacked on to handle one specific case.
days can be spent cutting out the fat and useless guardrails of one existing 150-10k loc script/module if you really want to make it le good and reduce it's length 5-10x. lotsa enterprise applications can be 100 or 1000x smaller than they are.
except it's too much work and you don't even know all the expected yet undocumented edge cases it handles or emits, so it will be your responsibility when the application breaks in production. better not touch it and do just what's actually asked from u. bugs are estimated, but not really planned.
le barely works but works fuck maintainability is the norm for the businesses. slowdown of work from it is not so measurable and no one would bother to soyentifically estimate it, so just throw more money and jeets or "AI" (lol) at it, that should work right(?). no product owner will ask you to sit there for a week per month throwing out shit code and report back how much shit you threw out, because they are not taught the value of it, nor it's their problem. they may know it's accumulated shit but they are just there to loot, like the other guy said.

Having trouble with an alias to auto-convert all webp's (into the folder I toss all my saved images into before manually moving them, if I ever do) into png's followed by deleting the original webp's:
cd ~/Pictures/Memes/ && mogrify -format png *.webp && find . -name *.webp -type f -delete && cd ~
It USED to work, but for no discernible reason (don't remember exactly when this started) it no longer deletes the old webp's. It instead throws up errors like:
>find: paths must precede expression: ?>`Screenshot_20251206-094014.webp'
>find: possible unquoted pattern after predicate `-name'?
Too tech illiterate to know how to proceed from here. Should I be using something other than find?

Switching to Vivaldi as my main browser, looks good so far.
Firefox's memory leak with YouTube makes it unusable. Frequently seeing YouTube tabs take up 2GB of RAM each.

It feels like Brave doesn't even have any programmers employed, they probably just contracted some Indian to integrate BAT crypto nonsense into the browser.
They have no one to fix its major bugs.

If you care at all about privacy and security, you'll drop Brave after learning what's really going on behind the curtain:
https://digdeeper.club/articles/browsers.xhtml#brave However, ALL browsers are terrible past about 2010, which was about the time of The Great Awokening, around Occupy and Gamergate by pure cohencidence. So just use whatever while accepting there's no way to avoid one honeytrap botnet (glowpig, cronycorpo, or elsewise) after another except to never again use digital technology for the rest of your life and go live like the Amish.

>In a high-security Shenzhen laboratory, Chinese scientists have built what Washington has spent years trying to prevent: a prototype of a machine capable of producing the cutting-edge semiconductor chips that power artificial intelligence, smartphones and weapons central to Western military dominance, Reuters has learned. Completed in early 2025 and now undergoing testing, the prototype fills nearly an entire factory floor.
>The availability of parts from older ASML machines on secondary markets has allowed China to build a domestic prototype, with the government setting a goal of producing working chips on the prototype by 2028, according to the two people.But those close to the project say a more realistic target is 2030, which is still years earlier than the decade that analysts believed it would take China to match the West on chips.
>The breakthrough marks the culmination of a six-year government initiative to achieve semiconductor self-sufficiency, one of President Xi Jinping's highest priorities. While China's semiconductor goals have been public, the Shenzhen EUV project has been conducted in secret, according to the people.https://www.reuters.com/world/china/how-china-built-its-manhattan-project-rival-west-ai-chips-2025-12-17/https://wccftech.com/china-has-reportedly-built-the-first-euv-machine-prototype/ No.107196

>>110469Yo HDV how much longer do you intend to host 4chon?
Let me remind you it would be trivial to redirect the domain 4chon.me to 8chan.moe/4chon via your domain provider (ackhtually it has to be Porkbun, you need to transfer 4chon.me to them, since Godaddy is an overpriced shitty service and doesn't support direct path redirection, just domain-to-domain), and to leave the current site up as a read-only archive accessible by its IP address for a few months or so.
If you're still interested in continuing hosting 4chon in the long run, you should switch to interserver.net, I just learned about their generous storage offer. Wouldn't be difficult to copy and migrate.
>interserver.net/vps/storage.htmlFor $3/mo they offer:
1000 GB storage
2 GB RAM
You're currently paying ramnode $4/mo for:
160 GB storage
512 MB RAM
More RAM doesn't matter for a site like this (could probably get by with even 256MB) but it's a nice bonus.
They have mostly good reviews it seems and according to archive.org they've been around since 1999:
>web.archive.org/web/*/interserver.net>reddit.com/r/Hosting/comments/1l6u2ng/anyone_have_experience_with_interserver/>reddit.com/r/webhosting/comments/kq6ngc/anyone_used_interserver/Also don't forget to migrate the domain 4chon.me and your other domains to porkbun since you're being ripped off by godaddy's renewal rates.
However at the end of the day, just my opinion, I don't see any purpose in paying for 4chon let alone see any growth prospects for it because 1) the name "4chon" just implies a rip-off of 4chan to any layperson at a glance; the name is a curse if you care about growth, and 2) it provides no real niche that others do not, since moot/hiro brought back /pol/ in 4chan years ago, and 8chan, zzzchan, krautchan, mlpol, lolcowfarms, crystalcafe and others all have their niches with orders of magnitude more visitors. Also you need to focus on your biznis which has a high likelihood of failing (it's just the reality of smol biznisses) and not have to worry at all about whatever happens to your site.

Real talk if I quit my job and managed my business full time I would have much more free time in general compared to now tbh, I'm not worried so much about any of that stuff. I just need to get it set up.

No.110504
>>110494>>110496I think the captcha is one-time per IP and the UI can be tweaked with CSS if 4chon were to migrate to the single board retirement home at 8chan.
