Ah, so we're currently dumping. Gotcha. When's the next pump?

I can see how Python is clearly more ergonomic than Common Lisp, but I really don't see any significant differences between CL, Clojure and Schemes. Just ergonomic micro-optimizations. Clojure's native thread-safe data structures

I was slightly surprised to learn how well Common Lisp had implemented its types. I keep wondering why CL almost completely failed to break into the minds of people in early 2000s. That was about the time I first learned about python, which

Yeah, that kinda sounds bad, but then again, if your salary is below what you should deserve, you just change jobs again with a higher salary request.

My teenager plays a game called Celeste (among other pretty difficult games). I grew with 80s and 90s games and Celeste looks like I would not bother (or possibly even be capable) to learn it, but he did over several painful and repetitive

Rather it's like taking a statically typed language and making all type annotations inferrable.

Because if I don't run in a jail, every software I run has full read/write access to all my files. Almost none of the software I run needs even read access to anything except its own files.

>Not having a GC and not freeing memory by hand is one of the features that makes Rust special. What would be the point of this? To put it bluntly: to make writing Rust fast and fun. If you think it's fast and fun right now, you&#x2

Is there a reason why FreeBSD doesn't default to running all applications in jails? Seems like this would be a pretty huge advantage compared to the typical Unix system's almost complete lack of sandboxing.

5ish years ago it was common knowledge that us-east-1 is generally the worst place to put anything that needs to be reliable. I guess this is still true?

Make everyone culpable but make the maximum amount of damages never be higher than what income the software generated.

Not sure why you were downmodded, this would be a great idea.

If we did that universally for crimes related to causing the current/upcoming environmental catastrophe, there wouldn't be many people left unjudged.

Imagine if doctors read books instead of just winging it. This is the good old "you wouldn't download a car". Everyone would download a car if they could. And doctors would consult Doctor Overflow, MD all the time if such a t

They have the same amount of letters in their name, both have "i" as the second letter. Zig is (a much) better C. Few solid features. Nim is a better (Pascal+python+lisp)/3. Lots of features. Some are solid.

Inflation is a neat (and usually the only) way to lower the wages without losing people. Of course they're not going to let go of it.

Sounds like you'll be purchasing a new laptop for that client and bill them for the price of the laptop, and several additional hours on maintaining said laptop.

Yes, I'm ever so grateful. But less sarcastically, I didn't broke their CoC because, as you pointed out, I wasn't writing on their forum.

It's a continuation of the Opera browser / service.

This sounds absolutely fine to me. Have you tried not breaking their CoC?

I've used containers and I feel what they do is not exactly what I want. I actually want a separate instance of the whole browser.

I actually want the kind of UI chromium provides, where I can see from the background color directly in which "mode" I'm in. This makes it easier to separate work from non-work.

Fuck. Just when I got used to Chromium due its nice profiles feature. Sigh. Back to Firefox then. Or perhaps I should just stop using the web for anything except the necessities. Now that I think about it, that would probably make my life b

Real coffee does taste "bad" if you're not used to it. What you're enjoying is bland coffee. If that's enough for you, there's no imperative to go for the better stuff. There's no reason to claim that the

That's news to me. Does PHP have a REPL now with module reloading with lingering state?

At least on Sway (with the scaling settings I use), fonts are a bit crap (blurry) on xwayland and perfect on native Wayland.

That's probably because python2 wasn't that broken to begin with. But fixed character encodings was totally worth it. I think the only mistake they made was related to how long they kept supporting python2 -- but I'm sure the

> It started clumsy, true, but it became a solid and quite elegant way of doing things. No. Just no. PHP will not be solid and elegant by evolution. It might have become an excellent tool for the area it's supposed to be used in, bu
