Awesome. Are any networks running ergo in production? My experience has been that most IRCops are very much of the change-averse nature.

Not much news at all, really. More of a roundup of popular clients and utilities. I suppose that's a reflection of the state of the IRC ecosystem, which is stagnant and slowly dying. The ircv3 project, while well-intentioned, will nev

Please list some real-world software of significant complexity that is 100% purely functional.

It's not so bad now . You might be forgetting how bad it was at first. In fact I'd argue it was worse than initially feared, and the developer's supreme arrogance did little to help.

I'm positing that any project of sufficient complexity is a good candidate for object oriented, yes. I don't see how a single developer can reason about an entire codebase of hundreds of thousands of LOC.

If you actually work on a project of significant size I don't see how one can reason about code that's not encapsulated via classes. I used to contribute to RunUO, an emulator for Ultima Online, and it's near the 1000000-SLOC

The Economist, despite being one of the few journalism outlets still worth reading, is not immune from the economics (pun only partly intended) of mass market media. To regular folks, Trump is like a car accident. He's awful but you t

I tried one of those fineliners for a year. Turns out I can't write as fast with one of those as I can with a ballpoint/gel pen. Muji sells cheap 0.5 and 0.7mm gel pens with a really satisfying click mechanism. Good enough for me.

Nice, have you found a way to suppress the "sass" function? Is there a patch or something? I mean sometimes I feel like mine is a much older model in a small casing.

Honestly I think it's just cultural. Parents inadvertently pass it on, or the kids get it from their peers. My daughter ate olives, Brussels sprouts, lettuce, cabbage, whatever really, from age 2 to 3. Now she's older and there&#

Puppy also happily rolls in excrement if you don't run the Leash plugin. I have the 2017 Small Child Pro and mine tried to eat a cigarette butt that she found in a mud puddle but at least she doesn't roll in goose shit.

Honestly I think it's because most software is infuriating to use, and the problem seems to be worsening. The web is a fucking shit hole of surveillance, advertising, and megabytes of JavaScript to display a few paragraphs of text. In

I used to work in SAR. I've seen crash sites where tree branches punctured through helicopter blades. It's not so cut and dry as you might think.

They are being unreasonable, though. They had a moat that let them gouge consumers for years, but the moat dried up and now they're throwing a tantrum because they can't continue their outdated and overpriced business model.

You don't program "an airplane". Each box has its own spec to which it must conform, so for example the little controller that regulates fuel flow into the combustion chamber is first modeled as a system in e.g. MATLAB. For
