Why is it that some former colonies of this power have done exceptionally well for themselves, and others, nearly a century on, still think about it every day and use it as an excuse for their lack of development?

Fair. I'm not an OS dev, so I don't really know what POSIX compliance with cat or whatever gets you. All I know is that I'm increasingly replacing classic unix cli tools with rust ones that are just better and faster.

Yeah that makes sense. I thought extradition laws usually had some kind of clause like "only applies if it'd be a crime in both jurisdictions", but now I think about that I can't remember where I heard that or why I thin

Question: why pro-active block some authoritarian countries like the UK, but not others like China? Is it because only the UK passes legislation that threaten people outside of its borders? Or does China do it too and we ignore it?

I've long been curious about the Ultima series. Would this be approachable for someone in 2025? I've played stuff like Chrono Trigger and dig 2D graphics. But 90s games always tend to have a lot of weird inconvenient stuff that ma

my big issue when I looked into it was the default filesystem was quite an antiquated design that would lose or corrupt data in a powercut or unexpected shutdown. Last I checked many of the devs have fairly elaborate uninterruptable power s

so where is 'cat'? https://github.com/sharkdp/bat (Haven't used this one, but it's pretty popular) Where is 'grep'? https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep Use this

I like that these guys are here. I definitely appreciate what they're doing. But I think I like software that sucks a little bit. BSPWM with its config as shell commands to the bspc daemon is about right; re-compiling C code is a bit m

At some point, we need to stop being surprised at authoritarian countries doing authoritarian things. Here's hoping the inevitable regime change will be a peaceful one.

Maybe I can be more clear - marble statues are cool - pepe the frog is right coded, but has been used in all sorts of contexts - milk emoji.. I don't even get this one. wasn't it a software developer meme on X? - It's 100% OK

I can tell you right now that, based on what you're saying, you'd almost definitely consider me to be a Nazi. I don't consider myself to be a Nazi, I'm nowhere near the historical defintion of a nazi, or even it's m

So the conspiracy is they paid 12,000 for a temporary logo that had a hidden SS insgnia, for 2 months? If you were a neo-nazi, do you think that's how you'd spend $12,000? Like is that the best bang for your buck, to maybe catch a

Mainly the Beautiful Mind stuff about the Boost logo being a dog whistle for the SS, and also "Cosmopolitan" clearly being a reference to Stalin's "Rootless Cosmopolitanism". Also it's it's very disjointed

I have no dogs in C++ internal politics, I haven't written C++ for years. But the author of that post clearly has some very fairly serious mental problems.

We need to organise a task force to rescue Singapore from digital colonialism. Why isn't the UN doing anything???

I gave up on caddy when the documentation around storing logs assumed systemd. I'm just a basic bitch alpine linux user; nginx was easier there.

Can someone help me? I can't get to the main page, but it draws what looks like a toddlers art work when I try and use it. Firefox on Linux.

Opposite effect one, lost interest in Roc after reading that. If anything I don't think Haskell goes far enough the automatic currying, points free stuff. If you're going to be declarative, don't half ass it.

Ah! That makes sense.

I don't say the "lower language wars" as being between zig and rust. I see it as being between old and new. And I'm on team new.

by LAC-Tech 2y ago
The Ocaml compiler is significantly faster than the Zig one. It's one of the fastest I've seen.

by LAC-Tech 2y ago
I believe Haskell uses it as well.

The issue is reality not being settled or agreed upon. For disputed territories there is effectively two realities both officially backed by sovereign countries. No, in a disputed territory there's one reality, and 1..n delusions.

But that's mainly due to how the PRC operates, right? Like when the PRC threatened invasion when the UK wanted Hong Kong to elect its own leaders, then later they can turn around and say "the British never even let the Hong Kong p

Chinese denialism over Taiwan is really, really demented. It's not that they just claim Taiwan - they pretend they already own it, and stick their fingers in their ears if you point out facts on the ground. I suppose they did the same

I want maps to show reality. Not who they *think* should be in control of Taiwan or Transnistria, but who actually is.

The great thing about this article is that it's equally applicable to both far left and far right posters. Very inclusive <3
