I use it indirectly with pass (passwordstore.org), which is one of the few security-related pieces of software I like. Do you have an opinion on that? I've never heard of age before, but it looks like a pass-like interface to it could

If they're only used for driving down the amount of spam, why don't you say so? You're not the only ones to do this, but I find "there's a problem with your account" demeaning as hell. If you want to use phone

It's because most people don't understand the societal consequences of it. We are dependent on the whims of single companies like no other time in history.

Do you understand how invasive it feels to be asked for a phone number?

It's an interesting argument, because you're saying it's fine that we're forced to have one of these devices, and that we're expected to carry it everywhere, or face being excluded from many aspects of society. For

I wish I could agree with you. But so many things are apps now, only available from official app stores. This goes far beyond convenience, at least in my country. You can't park a car in many places in my city without paying via an app

Quickly checking with Python... 2^265 < 10^80 > 2^266 So it's only 0.1% of the number of atoms in the universe?

I don't use Pulseaudio, so I only know it from "I've heard..." and that's all been negative, that it doesn't work or is annoying. For Pipewire, I've only actually heard good things. Maybe I'm talking

I thought that was a weird statement. Tailwind solves (kind of, to me) the problem of organizing CSS. I mean, you still have to pick the right rules to write.

There's something about Tailwind (which I use, love, and evangelize to all who will listen and many who won't) that makes me think of the phrase "You can't fire me, I quit!"

Think C was definitely used to make commercial software. Apple developers probably used "Macintosh Programmer's Workshop", which is more like a command line. Whether it gave more feedback I can't really say. But again, t

It was one way. A lot of software was also written in Pascal, but the APIs were at the same basic level of abstraction. This is a bit before 486s AFAIK though, he's using a Mac Plus from 1986. Software-wise, System 7 came out in 1991 a

Soft spoken people selfhosting down-to-earth videos without asking me to like, subscribe and send my left b*llock to Facegoogle is everything I want from the 2020's. Bonus points for old Macs.

While I think there's a generally accepted definition of morpheme (as the smallest distinctive unit), that doesn't give you a good definition of the word. (Because there isn't one.) Funny you use the term morphology like that

The problem with "word", as with many terms in linguistics, is that it's a prescientific unit of analysis. I certainly think most linguistic typologists would say that there is no cross-linguistic unit that corresponds to o

Yeah, that's not how laws are supposed to work. I find the use of the 451 status code almost offensive in this case. They're invoking one of the most famous literary treatments of censorship, when really what's happening is t

Microservices mean that different parts of your code are now communicating via (e.g.) HTTP instead of function calls. It changes the situation regarding deployment, but it does not miraculously absolve you from changing code when data forma

Eh, ten years a professional, I frequently fall into it still, where you forget to think about the best solution and just.. mash. Sometimes it works to get a solution that can then cleaned up, other times I waste an hour before I snap out o

You want the file type and creator code, but they're eaten along with the resource fork when you move the file to something that's not HFS, I think.

For it to make sense, language replacement (which is an observable phenomenon) would have to happen by communities learning a bunch of different languages and picking the one that they liked best. That's just not how it goes. You learn

But it's selection based on non-linguistic criteria, like who's better at violence and economics. So it affects language, but it is not based in language, and thus GP's insinuation that this linguistic feature is a "bad

Language death has nothing to do with fitness, and these languages are not being "selected against" by the presence (or absence) of some linguistic characteristic. Languages die out because the groups that speak them assimilate in

To me it's the other way around. If you have a class that's only used once, is it better than inline styles? To me it's worse. You've just moved it to a different file. With Tailwind, I work from the bottom up, with smal
