"Save"? What a strange choice of words... There is no fall from grace happening here, Linux gaming has always been a small contingent of PC gaming. The article seems to believe that gaming on Linux is on some kind of death clock u

I'm a layman, so take this with a grain of salt, but here's the basic legal theory... In antitrust law, intent matters. If your primary motivating intent is to make the market less competitive, that's what gets the book thr

I don't even think it's a data issue. He literally says they bought Plaid because they're a threat. That's textbook anti-competitive behavior and a big smoking gun when it comes to anti-trust cases.

It was simply too difficult for me to do that. I learned the language, built derivations, then realized it was just way too much work for what I wanted. I like what Nix brings to the table, but, ultimately, I was perfectly happy to compromi

That's my other issue. Nixpkgs just isn't as rich as AUR. I'm willing to use mostly nix OR mostly pacman, but not some 50/50 split of both, which is what the current situation tempts. I'd be extremely pleased if the

I played with NixOS and am willing to admit that it was too difficult. It's probably great for devops, but it's just slightly too rigid for my own personal use. Let me give an example: let's say you want to use xmonad on to

If there was any remaining doubt about the UK Gov's design chops, check out their Github projects. Just to highlight one... they've published one of the most accessible and intuitive reverse-engineering tools I've ever used:

Jerry Martin? No kidding, the Rush Hour OST is legendary! One of my favorite instrumentals to work to, for sure.

The API, for example. It's a ton of fun to bang out toy projects. Just the other day I built my own podcast picker script that curates a playlist of subscribed podcast episodes in exactly the way I want (balance-wise/order-wise).

I imagine people often misattribute JBlock bugs as Qutebrowser bugs, so I can certainly understand the aversion. FWIW, in my own usage, JBlock has consistently functioned as expected without causing any apparent issue. Still, I'll be g

Sure, but will Saka Keys allow you to configure the browser itself? Will it autoload the actual dotfile on startup if it's already in the expected configuration directory? I'm not saying vim-like extensions aren't worth using

Hard agree. If you're the kind of person using a tiling WM, you will definitely find the deep customization that Qutebrowser exposes to be liberating. I like the experience so much that I'll start selling it for the rest of this

I've been trying to set up something similar, do you have any advice for decent VPN providers? Each one I try caps out well below my bandwidth limit. For now, I've just been selectively routing specific non-TLS traffic over the VP

Analysis paralysis. Legal frameworks are rarely just conjured up out of a singular document, the exact same way that a finished program is almost never published as a single commit. I say do what you can, when you can, then iterate until it

Counterpoint: diversifying with Uber Eats did a lot to keep the company stable during the ongoing pandemic. Admittedly, Eats doesn't make a dime, even after this big influx of business, so I'm mostly leaning on the argument that i

My bad! Text is funny sometimes, isn't it? I agree with your basic argument here and you've convinced me to some extent. I wanted to dredge up some examples to highlight inherent flaws in Python's error handling ergonomics,

I find it bizarre that so many tech-literate people seem upset by Cloudflare DDOS/surge mitigation. Like, it just seems so backwards to me that failing more catastrophically is somehow more endearing to these individuals!

That's the other thing I hate about Python, the concept of "Pythonic". It's literally the only language I have ever used where people will tell me my arguments are wrong because of (for lack of better words) a code of et

Following through to the logical conclusion, you would want some way to switch between simple logs and context-rich logs. We've reinvented the verbose flag!

I don't actually know what an intent flow is! I tried to Google around, but all I can seem to find are proprietary keyword mishmashes used for digital payment systems. I'm guessing you're talking about, like, intent in the co

> In Rust there generally isn't a stack trace, because you generally can know where the error comes from. I don't understand. Does that mean that there's sometimes a stack trace? Why would it matter if you had other ways

by chaorace 6y ago
I'm willing to accept that argument for unwrap, makes sense if you're dealing with a situation where multiple errors can apply. Outside of unwrap, which actually crashes out, is it not possible to access the stack trace? Forgive m

by chaorace 6y ago
This is actually why I dislike Python so much. The "try first, ask forgiveness later" truism has infused itself into the core language design and surrounding community. The end result is unexceptional exceptions and the presence o

by chaorace 6y ago
I assume this is possible in Rust, so someone please help me understand: why not just print the stack trace? In my opinion, if you suffer a sufficiently fatal error, you should just crash outright and log the trace + error message. Barring

I don't really understand your point of disagreement. I never claimed let/const/Arrow Functions were syntactic sugar, just that they were improved syntax. I don't see our two arguments as mutually exclusive, because I fe

To go maximum pedant here, I want to say that you're somewhat conflating syntax improvements for stylistic shifts. Pre ES6 JS still allows for FP programming, so a more fair approximation of the Pre-ES6 code would be... var increme

(Not OP) I've actually found Surfingkeys to be a better vim-like experience than vimium. The utility of the omni-bar in particular is great.
