There are a few reasons for this, some of the most important being:

• The languages were not designed with speed primarily in mind and as such made some design decisions that fundamentally cannot be optimized around
• Authors of programs in these languages prioritize things other than performance when writing the programs.

Speed is not just about processors becoming faster - this is a large part of why DSA is important to learn as a programmer.

Three questions is a stupid format for stand-ups. True waste of time.

It’s not out of the question to have ‘memory leaks’ - apps accumulating more memory by keeping around references to more and more objects - but memory leaks in the stricter sense of not deallocating objects that you no longer have references to is less likely. Regardless, the OOM killer will come for your app, no matter how good you’ve been about managing your memory, as long as someone else wants to have the memory and you’re the one who has been active the least recently.

It’s definitely not out of the question that a reboot helps, but an app-level memory leak is highly unlikely to be the culprit.

Apps leaking memory in Android are just going to get automatically get killed by the OOM killer, I don’t think a restart is going to address that particular concern.

Oí! You got a license for that sword?

It was never a strong combat game imo. It’s a fantastic game despite the combat, not because of the combat.

Dinner times in Sweden are generally on the early side, with 16:00 not being unheard of in families with small children, and 17:00-18:00 being a common time to have dinner.

I’d say that the summer months in Sweden are considered to be June, July and August, making Midsummer fall slightly earlier than in the middle of summer. Summer weather lasts for more than that nowadays though, with the weather getting nice in May and lasting a bit into september.

At that point, you’re basically just listening to podcasts. Leaning into it might be a good choice, since there’s no visual element that gets lost when listening to podcasts, as compared to YouTube videos.

Those things sound super great… but they’re of course all meant to keep you working around the clock, meeting deadlines.

This is not going to be universally true at all big tech-companies. There are places with perfectly reasonable WLB on top of huge salaries and fantastic perks.

These places are usually big enough that you’re going to see extremes on both ends within the same company - some departments with huge deadline pressure cultures, and some with highly relaxed work settings. It can be a bit of a gamble.

I don’t know that I’d use ‘insanely’ as the modifier here as their position has weakened significantly over time, but they do certainly still play a large role in the Swedish labour market.

WFH means less carbon emissions, less time wasted in traffic, and less time literally putting your life at risk from vehicle collisions.

It speaks volumes that all of these problems are car-related. The whole push for WFH is a massive condemnation of how badly people actually feel about the effects of the car-oriented development that the U.S has been spending so much time championing.

That’s interesting to hear that you put some garlic on the avocados - the Chileans I know don’t do that, but they left the country in the late 70’s. I wonder if this is done by personal preference or if there was a ‘culinary branch’ created from them emigrating.

I’m also a little surprised to hear about the use of ketchup - I would guess that the red sauce was Aji.

(This is absolutely not an attempt to criticize your food, I am of the firm belief that all Completos are awesome no matter what)

As far as I know, this particular arrangement is known as a Completo Italiano, since the ingredients have the same colours as the Italian flag (red tomatoes, green avocado and white mayonnaise).

Given Putin’s long history of violating Swedish airspace over Gotland, I feel like the statement has at least some amount of credibility.

In fact, I would not be surprised if that is a large part of why public sentiment finally swayed in favour of NATO in Sweden after so many years of public sentiment being against the prospect.

I think it might have to do with the broad anti-AI sentiment that seems to be present here at Lemmy.

I don’t disagree, but for obvious reasons, we can’t access Google from a decade ago, since they’ve made it unavailable.

I’m not really describing an ideal state, this is a mere matter of practicality.

I’ve started relying more on AI-powered tools like Perplexity for many of my search use-cases for this very fact - all results basically warrant a pre-filtering to be useful.

Popular might be overselling it a bit there, buddy. It exists and some people eat it.

Now kebab pizza, there’s a popular pizza for you. With good reason, I might add - it’s the god emperor of hangover foods.
