I think people confuse the Fortran bug that didn't lose a rocket with the Ada bug that did lose a rocket (the Ariane 5), like how people thinking Nelson Mandela died in prison in the '80s probably got mixed up with Steve Biko.

I don't think COSMIC is gonna be ported to OSX and Windows. In fact you can quote me on that, I'd rate the chances of me being wrong at infinitesimal.

To quote grand*4 parent: > Gnome / Plasma duopoly LXQt uses Qt but it's not KDE, Cinnamon, MATE,... use Gtk, but they're not GNOME. And Enlightenment uses EFL, so it isn't part of any Qt/Gtk duopoly.

My current phone is a Volla 22 with Ubuntu Touch, it's pretty good (although the battery doesn't last me a day, sadly). To be honest, though, I kinda miss the scopes of the OG Ubuntu Touch.

Have you tried the new Ubuntu Unity? It's not the same as it was back in 2013 (when I last used Unity), but it's still nice in various ways.

As does the unnamed LXDE bird, and whatever mascots Cinnamon, MATE, Deepin, Pantheon, Budgie, and Enlightenment have. EDIT: Almost forgot about Unity, which has arisen from the ashes.

I've tried the Cosmic alpha and, while I like various things it does, I can't see myself using it as a daily driver yet: - The clock doesn't show the weekday or the year and shows the month by name rather than by number, - Ca

Because we're on HN I'd say that StumpWM being made in Common Lisp may be trotted out as the main advantage. Personally I'm quite fond of it having Emacs-like key chording (it's the keyboard equivalent of a cascading men

As long as we're being pedantic: M-x only gives access to every single interactive function (which means every function which has the `(interactive)` statement). I can't speak as how to that relates to Microsoft VS Code's &#x

Is Perl chartreuse? I always imagined it to be a light blueish colour. Maybe cornflower blue, or dodger blue, or a light steel blue.

I have a few thoughts, but in reverence to your sincerity I will offer the example of Google Flights, which as far as I know is still written in Common Lisp. Now as for my thoughts: every so often when Lisp comes up there is someone who ask
