You're either assuming that "build environment" includes more things than the author does (it's not exactly a well-defined term), or you're not aware of the sources of non-reproducibility. It can be simple things (s

You really want hardware DRM to support your political ideology? Good thing this sort of thing has never been abused!

I'd guess this is the Carbon people milking 1-2 more promos out of this thing before acknowledging reality and switching to Rust ;)

I used to use proportional pitch fonts for telega.el and certain document buffers, but I stopped because I find that with Jetbrains Mono (for me personally) there isn't any benefit even for longer text. I'd rather have everything

Well, if there's no further info then I'm going to speculate you've misconfigured something ;)

> If text in Emacs looked as pretty as text on the web does Do you have an example of this? I can't tell any difference for the fonts that I use (with emacs-pgtk). I believe Emacs uses Harfbuzz (same as Chrom{e|ium}).

I really want to like Zig, but man, an unsafe language in 2024 is a hard sell (even to myself).

Odd post, and it landed me on the Yzena website which is very surreal. It seems to be intentionally hard from the website to figure out what Yzena is or why anyone would want to buy a license for it (or the things it makes?). There was a

ActivityPub, the Fediverse and all of that are great places to go and discuss ActivityPub, the Fediverse and all of that. That's pretty much it.

I name hosts after a place in the city I live in that is not where I live. Some hostnames from recent years are khamovnik, whitby, zamalek, sanduny. It's interesting because it makes me consider places that I don't go to every d

Panics are safe though (they're a controlled crash). The safety we're discussing is not related to program stability.

Using a closed-source DB is a hard sell.

Same. I think it's a meme that people keep repeating, and for some fraction of them it's true.

Sure, you can follow along the old meme: https://twitter.com/vbhvsgr/status/1419369352164372482 Though in practice in decent languages it's much less likely you'd write your own `any -> any, any`-type

A good chance to learn why people who write reliable software almost universally like static type systems.

Yeah, the optimisations are cool of course, but (maybe due to being unfamiliar with the tool?!) I didn't understand why they can't just `listen(2)`.

I'd love to see average hardware utilisation stats for "average Joe" (i.e. not Google) data centres. I don't think they're well-utilised.

I gotta say that I didn't feel very safe on night buses in London, despite the cameras. Besides Brussels, London is the only other city in which I've occasionally felt like I was in danger. It's still a fun city, to be clear,
