Javascript being disruptive technology is.. A take for sure.

When your self driving car is written in react you'll understand.

SpaceX

I'm sure Musk hand coded it in JS and then paid some underpaid dude who is only slightly less abused in the US instead of india to unfuck his dogshit.

I'll understand briefly, as my life flashes before my eyes? Haha.

It always disrupted everything, and is getting only better on that with time.

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Disrupting my low ram usage

[–] mormund@feddit.org 14 points 2 months ago

It definitely is/was. Most user facing software these days is a web app, or native application using JS anyways. The event loop and async programming is also ubiquitous nowadays in most languages, especially server side.

[–] belated_frog_pants@beehaw.org 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I mean from inception until now it has been a huge change in programming. Node changed a lot of things. Typescript changed a lot of things. React changed a lot of things.

A long way since GWT which google was doing because its java devs hated js

But the most disruptive technology of all is Steve Jobs's face.

How the fuck is C++ more traditional than C?

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 42 points 2 months ago (1 children)

To me it looks like to position within each of quadrant want taken into account.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 33 points 2 months ago

It really seems like the creator didn't bother with spacing at all. Something that did consider spacing within quadrants wouldn't have its items this closely packed together.

[–] aaaaaaaaargh@feddit.org 21 points 2 months ago

I think it's not meant to be more traditional, the icon positions seem random and only the square they're located is important.

[–] sudo@programming.dev 15 points 2 months ago

C was incredibly disruptive 50 years ago.

Ok, now ... where does TempleOS and HolyC belong on this chart?

[–] jwt@programming.dev 60 points 2 months ago (1 children)

*Sigh*. Fine, let's introduce a z-axis specifically for Terry A. Davis.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 months ago

So what you're saying is that... he is either from, belongs to, or should be placed on...

... another plane of existence?

lololololollool

Cowards are too afraid to place vi anywhere on these axes...

[–] 3x3@lemy.lol 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It’s open source and traditional..

[–] loweffortname@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

So you're say remove emacs and replace it with vi? I agree!

what are the concentric circles above Linus?

[–] fjellet@feddit.nl 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

lol that's why it looked familiar. I use it but my icon has been broken for a while.

Looking at how much of a reach some of the disruptive + proprietary stuff is... Yeah, there isn't a lot of recent innovative proprietary stuff, is there?

Although I would put Chrome under "disruptive". It absolutely was when it released decades ago, and even now it's still changing the browser landscape.

[–] shirro@aussie.zone 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Chrome was disruptive.

Part of the reason for its disruption is that Chromium is open source (BSD licence), built on Webkit that was open source, which was built on khtml from the KDE project which was open source. That is how we got to Microsoft Edge also running on Chromium.

If it wasn't for the monoculture aspect and the actions of some of the companies using it, khtml->Chromium would be a great open source success story.

What is the software between Linus and rust? Never seen that icon before

[–] Tja@programming.dev 31 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Zig, a language for systems programming, alternative to rust.

[–] puhpine@programming.dev 10 points 2 months ago
[–] glorkon@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Zig is actually pretty easy to get into. I got a Raylib game scaffold with scene switching running in a couple of hours from scratch, with no prior knowledge of the Zig language or ecosystem whatsoever.

Uh, Linus Torvalds is a hypedev?

Btw, is this meme old?

[–] danhab99@programming.dev 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I started using git to track my dotfiles maybe one-ish years after I first fully adopted Linux as my daily driver.. I think it's been a little over 5 years and before I converted to nix that git history told a story of immense frustration of never being able to get my desktop and laptop to be identical. For some reason some projects only ran on one of the 2 machines. There was a period in my life when I didn't use my desktop for 2 months because it just didn't work well enough, OCD is really fucking painful. Nix saved my relationship with both of my computers, and my desk, and my spine. I haven't used my laptop and maybe a month and I may have changed my workstation a couple hundred times in this period, I will with absolute confidence say that the next time I decide to use my laptop I can just run git pull and nixos rebuild and my laptop will be just the same as my desktop (minus obligatory build fixes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

NixOS answers that question I always had, "Do I have random residue from programs I uninstalled years ago lying around on my system?", with a resounding "No", and it feels amazing.

Putting Apple under disruption not tradition lol

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

I think they just put them in quadrants with no attention to placement.

What is this shit? I don't recognize half of this garbage. How is terminal + text editor not an option?

rust is more proprietary than linus.

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago (5 children)

I use C#, GitHub and arch...

(I am replacing GitHub once my homelab server is set up though)
