No, not really. I mean it can be, but in practice the level of complexity is pretty similar to something like Objective-C or Swift (or, I assume, C++, although I haven't used C++ much). I'm taking about the "back end"

Same! I inherited a Flutter app from a previous team, and while it's OK it feels kind of like developing on a Galapagos island — by which I mean, we'll never use Dart in any other context, and Flutter's web story doesn't

I think the example is simplified to make its point efficiently, but also: the moon is something whose size would very likely be precisely explained in texts about it. While some hunting journals might brag about the weight of a lion that w

Interesting. I literally switched to Debian (finally!) because of this change (which debuted in the most recent major release, Debian 12 "bookworm"). I'd always wanted to (because Ubuttnu sucks, Fedora seemed like it would

sure, but post your pic of what you looked like in 1995 (or equivalent age) the more you age, the more you'll politically be on the right, whether you became a billionaire on roids, or you just aged

Everything is like that with this guy. He looks at the world through the prism of old-fashioned network TV ratings. You saw that during the infamous COVID press briefings (the bleach and light ones), holding the bible after the paramilitary

I agree about the too-much-outrage-over-meh-shit problem, and even think it's the defining problem of our age (although, that is just because it is one form of "attention is the most important commodity now" theory — same roo

Isn't it basically the same? Nazi Germany in 1934 was relatively advanced, too. I think the difference is^W was that USA celebrated it in a Homer Simpson kind of "Ha ha! NERDS!" way, while meth-Hitler was like "let'

The "severe conflict and stress" part may be hard to understand for the cityfolk; you have to kill chickens to eat eggs, or else they will do it .

That's so keenly true I wonder how we've ended up with a society where it's not only non-obvious, but even dubious, to such a significant percentage of people. There's not really any human analogue to industrial meat fac

These buildings are all sick as hell except maybe that first one. Also, might be divisive amongst the white HOA enthusiasts of US & A, but I live in Tokyo and I am pretty sure that this style of architecture is widely appreciated here

It's not that people think that there are no young people wanting to work in C, it's that the number of competent programmers who want to use C, or do use C, are both decreasing every year. That has been the trend for quite a whil

Yeah, but it wasn't an overt white supremacist slogan until recently. Regardless, I wouldn't have chosen that phrasing, either. I just think it's improbable that the OP (on the Linux list I mean) intended to associate linux m

This phrase has been largely co-opted by US white nationalist/fascist groups (similar to how Pepe the Frog was) but that is a relatively recent development; the phrase has been in use for a long time before that. https://en.

Sorry, I didn't state that very well. Permit me to retry. For a lot of people (I'm not actually one of them; I don't even have a car, but I know many of them), the energy efficiency of their vehicle isn't one of the top

Sorry; although I'm "on your side" in the sense that I want Rust in Linux and am bummed out that it seems increasingly like it's going to be a multigenerational slog, thanks to entrenched opposition from some of the C ol

Yes, citation needed (and also probably unlikely to be forthcoming or validated) but the rest of the comment stands, so let's just ignore this weakest/most-dubious claim.

Facts are facts, in the same way rocks are rocks. You can gather them from anywhere they exist. There might be places where it is easier to gather facts than Reddit. But wherever you get purported facts, it's hard to know whether they

Well I'm not an evangelist of the app or anything, but I use it because it has the best UI I've found so far for editing markdown collections.

I wanted to revisit this after checking my own anecdata. (But based on logfiles not just like recollections.) I've had a ZFS system or some sort for about 10 years, and before that I had proprietary RAID chassis like Pegasus2 and Synol

True, but it seems very obvious that if you add a bunch of plugin dependencies (or even one), you are deliberately choosing to forego "standard" Markdown (there's actually no such thing, but roughly speaking). That's why

No, just a little bit. Your docs remain 98% compatible with other Markdown editors. The functionality is mainly around a.) better UI for editing Markdown, b.) plugin ecosystem (optional), c.) paid sync (optional, and achievable otherwise e.
