think of the metric/imperial example above. The distance isn't just a number. Holds for most other things, too. Typed is key. Be it either static or dynamic.

I apologise for the misleading example "leap year".

by mro_name 5y ago
in real life nobody will guarantee you anything. But treating dates and surnames alike doesn't help robustness either. Or separate types for metric distance and imperial distance might have prevented mars(?) lander losses. Or for sea l

maybe you get the sunshine case out of the door quicker. But beware new-year or leap years. Or daylight saving change. Or non-ascii. I mean, who would ever care about fringe cases when you can have continuous delivery instead?

paying whatsapp doesn't pay for the signal service.

by mro_name 5y ago
lol, that sadly doesn't count then.

by mro_name 5y ago
how much do you spend on the service that's so crucial to you? What do you expect to get when giving nothing? Whoever is keeping a Whatsapp Account nowadays shits on the privacy of all their addressbook contacts and can't be helpe

I think that works extremely well – taken action is relevant while intentions are much less so aren't they? And building a "coalition" isn't a natural law nor even how things were intended – the house is named "parl

nothing wrong. Searching unmodified html though is sometimes preferable.

it's statically linkable rust, isn't it? Awesome. I'm looking for a successor to $ xmllint --html --xpath … that doesn't choke on inline svg.

while I don't buy the article on typography, the surrounding site was interesting, thanks for sharing!

The square hole is hilarious.

this is a remarkably well designed website, thanks for sharing.

> This prevents AT&T, Sun or SCO from taking the GNU code, claiming it as their own, and suing the linux crowd for infringement. you see, no matter how trivial the matter, the lawyers manage to have their share.

I guess consumerism is at the heart of the problem. And juicy complexity successfully keeps consumers remaining such. I think humans - having been nomads for the most part of their existence – just aren't equipped to care for their hab

https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com comes quite close IMO. And: make it long-term-proof, so you can leave things as they are for decades.

Full ACK esp. for the part about promotion. David Pogue delivered a nice TED Talk 2006 [1], when he's enthusiastic about a new version of a program that didn't change a thing but just made it more robust. [1] https://ww
