I have tried combinations of hard to draw vehicle and animals (crocodile, frog, pterodactly, riding a hand glider, tricycle, skydiving), and it did a rather good job in every cases (compared to previous tests). Whatever they have done to im

I am not questionning the goal of representing all the fine details of every possible languages and currencies and calendars in use anywhere at any time in the universe, that's a respectable achievment. I'm discussing the process

I was currious to see what that data consisted of and aparently that's a lot of translations, like the name of all possible calendar formats in all possible languages, etc. This seems useless in the vast majority of use cases, includin

When I switched to FreeBSD, it was because of the quality of the documentation. In Linux manpages are a patchwork from various sources, and it shows; it's not rare for a manpage to be missing, obsolete, or to document another similar t

I was indeed thinking about perl5, and assuming Raku was similar. Aparently I was wrong, thank you for letting me know.

This is what conspiracy theorists fail to keep in mind: in politics usually you do not create anything, you reframe and exploit whatever events happen to occur. Same idea with this left-wing idea that "no revolutionary has ever made a

The GPL cannot directly force companies to let the users free. Its goal is for an alternative to exist.

Beware with that logic. You notice successful electron apps because of how bloated they are. I suspect you use many Qt apps without even noticing. One that comes to mind that I use daily and noticed only recently that it was implemented in

Empty battery is not unlikely in airports that make it extra-hard to recharge a phone (Looking at you, BER). Long ago it was possible to unplug a vending machine as a last resort, but these days all electrical sockets are concealed, as a me

It's not rare that some staff are checking that passengers have all needed documents as they head to departures. Looks like they could check app usage there. They could also easily check the app when bags are checked in (that's Ry

Ryanair basically invented most of the dark patterns that are now prevalent in all travel websites. Back then, the experience was so awful that it was comical (and even inspired a song[0]). Therefore I'm not surprised that they are the

Sigils are just one of the things that concern me (use of UTF-8 character for keywords is another one). The problem with sigils is that they compose poorly when casting (refs, counts), and do not generalize to other types. Plus, they seem t

Performance was also particularly bad with my oldish but otherwise very capable Android Galaxy Tab s6 (using Firefox), so much so that clicking the letters was unreliable. What tech stack did you use?

I'm not familiar with usdt, but my understanding is that it covers only the lower level of Opentelemetry. Is there an equivalent of OTLP for dtrace?

Ok but the amount of education that is needed to join Jane St is certainly very large, but acquiring the language itself is probably a very tiny amount of that. That's exactly why I'm disagreeing: there is much more to know and to

No really, that's a small ecosystem, we are not talking about Java or JS or python. Also, you should not need to know all the ropes of an ecosystem to work in one given environment. If you are reasonably experienced with computers, lea

The original comment may be phrased clumsily. I believe the idea was that they do not want to make money by competing on a pizza market. That's the contradiction as old as the modern economy that it both relies on free market in princi
