You seem to be a very novice programmer.

how do I setup my dev environment

? Google that? Use a devcontainer? I mean literally a question answered thousands of times.

where should I start

Setting up your dev environment. Then maybe create a few projects for you to test your package manager empirically?

do I invent my own pkg format or do I use pre built packages like deb or rpm?

Depends on what you want to do. I’m honestly not sure how to help you here? What kind of answer are you fishing for here?

Slow down, relax, OP asked a question, not murdered your pet hamster.

Shorting means you expect the shit to go down in value. Usually to short something you borrow a stock from someone (not everyone can borrow stocks), pay the fee to the source, sell it for 100, wait, buy it back for 90, give it back to the original owner. You made 100 - 90 - fee.

Borrow 1000 usd from a bank (1), sell if for your target currency (2) that you think will raise compares to usd, wait, exchange 1000 usd from the target currency (2) and give it back to bank + rates (1).

What is left over in currency (2) is your profit.

It’s not just finding obvious errors but it catches logical error that no human would have caught.

I’m not having the same experience.

You buy foreign currency and then sell it back for USD when you want to realise it.

Preflight it? If you ask external API every 6 hours about known range of host IDs with a date, then 1h before you need that information call the external API and check if it works or returns garbage? That way you can get some extra time to maybe react earlier to an incident? It honestly depends on the nature of your job and the qualities of your traffic, but generally speaking the problem you have is unfixable and the best you can hope for is early detection (if that matters for you).

If however you’re a pass-through API to the external one, eg. a different service calls your API with a hostID and the hostIDs are not a known finite pool, then you can forget about preflighting.

So to sum it up:

• API breaks responses only for new data
• API does not provide any metadata, like versioning
• API doesn’t host it’s spec
• the problem isn’t that the API mutates, but that it starts returning garbage for new data, but not historical.

You’re out of luck. You can’t prevent it. You can’t foresee it, unless you know beforehand what you’ll call the API with and you can pre-flight it and detect it earlier.

That’s the problem of the monopoly (or large dominant market share) - Steam doesn’t have to compete for us with anyone.

Proton

I stand corrected

But they implement policies for gamers in mind, not money

• sucky currency conversion rates they refuse to update
• they take 30% cut
• they are banning games on behest of Mastercard and Visa

So, no. It’s enshittification.

Nobody hates on Steam being a monopoly

That’s the problem imho. Right now they are “benevolent monopoly” for most of it’s users, except:

• currency conversions (famously Poland has the highest game prices on Steam in the world because Steam does not want to update the currency rates).
• innovation (Steam does not innovate Steam, they r&d othe products)
• accessibility (no way to make fonts bigger) (Those are my issues with it, there’s definitely more)

We know since at least 70’s, that when a company hits 4% market share, it stops innovating and competing with other companies, because buying the competition out and increasing the market share is safer and higher return (every 5% increase was 10% increase in profit, because they have to compete less).

Two words: cargo cult.

Good advice, except that’s not a long term storage. Bit corruption is a thing.

I honestly think that LLM will result in no progress made ever in computer science.

Most past inventions and improvements were made because of necessity of how sucky computers are and how unpleasant it is to work with them (we call it “abstraction layers”). And it was mostly done on company’s dime.

Now companies will prefer to produce slop (even more) because it will hope to automate slop production.

Dude, are you like literally crazy? You come here, suddenly start calling me names and now are trying to gaslight me tham I need to defend or some other shit?

Get help. Blocked.

So you had nothing to say about whats wrong with planned urbanization, so you went again for a personal attack, and switching to something something about marxist or communism because… Well, honestly, I don’t know why nor do I care.

This is the only thing of value you wrote

Objectively, it was bad to build unhabitable skyskrapers.

Yes. Those few bad actors who build tofu buildings in Tukery, Greece, China, Myanmar, Bangkok, or USA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt_Regency_walkway_collapse#%3A~%3Atext=On+July+17%2C+1981%2C+two%2Cweight+it+held+that+night.) or wherever are bad and did wrong. What’s your point?

Yeah, my server end with ml so I must be a tankie, makes sense.

It cannot be that I genuinely appreciate long term vision policies. I must be a tankie. And you’re right, those cities were not needed, and planned urbanization must be planned only 2 years ahead because everything else is speculative bubble made for speculation.

I’m sorry, I’m a little bit lost. I do agree that investment in owning rentals should be forbidden (and if city needs rental units they should be owned by the city).

I do not agree that “ghost cities” were built for speculative purposes. Speculants were buying them like crazy, yes, but the actual need for housing in regions planned (expected?) to undergo urbanization is real and the buildings were fulfilling that purpose.

There are always bad actors in the system (see: hedge funds). But bubble? It can be argued that Ordos (the ghost city) was build too early, but it’s filling in nicely. From 30k in 2009 to 2.000.000+ in 2020.

On the other hand noone ever build a damn whole modern city before for the people, so I’m not surprised they jumped the gun.

And the main AI companies have actual products that make money for them rolled out already. So it is not like the dot com bubble
