I'm in my 30s and still pretty open minded with music, and don't listen to all that much of my teenage years stuff. I think I just sacrificed my ability to enjoy new video games instead.

I like the idea of these. As a native English speaker I'd be more comfortable with a sort of code/dialect switch when talking to ESL speakers, rather than worrying about them when I talk normally. Like let me keep my language the

If it ever gets a modern file system I could probably use it for a daily driver. But powercuts are just a fact of life here.

No it was a one of those crude MS Paint comics that was very offenskve but also kind of funny. The main character literally had a boat for a head. Thinking back I found it via elftor, another crude/funny ms paint comic, that I definite

Does anyone remember an internet comic in the early 2000s called Boatface? think I might have found it on something awful, or from another web comic I found on something awful.

I never understood this logic. If you removed the supply of an ever increasing labour pool, businesses would shrink to fit the amount of labour they had available to them.

For people who live in oppressive regimes where certain political speech is illegal, like China or the UK, anonymity is a powerful tool. I would not want to take that away from them.

If it was purely poetic language, why the Roman objection to Atilla being compared to a God? Feel like there has to be more to it than that.

The Scythians raised a cup in toast to their King Attila, and Maximinus proposed that the toast should also be to our lord Theodosius. At this, Bigilas spoke out, saying that it was not right that a god and a man should be compared in such

Interesting that it was still seen as obvious that the emperor was a God, given that Theodisus II's grandfather had made christianity the state religion.

Owch, yeah. I suppose it's always a good idea you have a backup regime that's actually competent or you'll get revolutionary France.

There's something very, very energising to me about a mob of people physically dealing with corrupt rulers. A sort of pure expression of democracy.

There's really no need for libc on Linux, each language should just implement it's standard library on top of syscalls. Rustix is a great implementation of that idea https://docs.rs/rustix/latest/rustix

I'm much more concerned about the naked corporate lobbying that occurs in every "democracy" on earth than I am shell companies.

I found out about Zuse because I was tasked with giving a presentation about an important German, when I was taking German classes at the Goethe Institut. Probably bored the hell out of everyone listening, but it was a bit of an eye opener

It's a pretty big global airport, isn't it? Maybe for freight more than passangers, but I definitely know the name and I've never been to the Netherlands. A quick look on wikipedia says it has about the same passenger and fre

Raw pointers and unsafe all the way. Sure a few of the more... radical elements of the rust community might try some safety shaming, but it really is the most pragmatic choice here.

This was incredibly well written and I really enjoyed it. Never worked for a large org but if I extrapolate stuff I've seen in smaller places I can see how this would be the end result.

Most people have gaps somewhere in their knowledge. I learned very on, as a general superstition, to always try and batch things that dealt with the world without like file writes, allocations, network requests etc. But for years I had no i
