He’s pretty gooood!

Nix! Just being able to run nix-env -i git and get a newer, isolated, git installation on an older Debian is very nice. Makes it easy to remove.

I can also do nix-shell -p <application I want to try out> if I want to test stuff out.

I’ve been able to ignore the Nix language pretty well so far, so no incredibly steep learning curve quite yet. Nix OS is still too spoopy for me.

I just sometimes wish there was a little more content getting posted.

Well, that’s a problem that’s within your power to fix! Start posting!

Oracle was never really innovative on a technical level

Even their RDBMS and SQL was copied from ideas that came from IBM. And I recall either E. F. Codd or one of the SQL guys making a remark about Oracle’s less-than-saviour sales tactics, even back in the 90s.

Nonprofits can “own” for-profits.

One of the saner reasons for this structure is that the non-profit owns the things the for-profit works on. If the for-profit goes under, all things are still owned by the non-profit, so some large tech company can’t swoop in and yoink anything available.

This includes any and all data generated by the for-profit, which means your data is “safe”.

This is why we have journalists - worst case, take this information to some newspaper, who will likely LOVE to poke the bear.

OK, maybe that’s a little idealistic, but at least you can try, eh?

Ubuntu is a gateway drug to Arch.

Soon, Firefox can block ads better than Chrome. Ads are annoying. I see Chrome losing at least a 5% of the market, if not more, to Firefox, just because they’re going to break uBlock Origin, and Firefox isn’t.

Just ask whether they can provide a phone as well.

Why all this when prayer would keep him safe?

You’re thinking of American Baptists and Evangelicals. Catholics are a little bit more practical, in general. Like protecting pedos, instead of ejecting them. Very practical.

Anyway anyone who feels attacked by the whole I’d rather a bear thing needs to stop being a pansy little shit.

I mean, the casual misandry stung a bit. Not sure why that’d make me a “pansy little shit”, lmao.

Anyway, the whole thing was ragebait and a big part of the internet fell for it (me included, at least initially).

Huh? Did someone claim that???

That’s obviously a randomly generated string.

A bot-ass username would be FirstnameLastnameFourdigitnumber. Sheesh.

Learn some proper English, you cappie

Not really, since those have been the most popular expansions. It’s easiest to measure up to, no?

Oh wow, looks like the Haskell devs have been hauling ass! Nice!

I remember the language server being a thing already, but it was in some alpha stage back then. Good to know it’s usable now! :D

Here’s what I remember from Haskell (around 2018):

I love the language, but hate the tooling.

Used it for Uni (did a minor where I learned Haskell, recursion, parsing and regex - probably the most information dense part of school I’ve ever had. Half a year of minor also burned me out, so I never went for my masters; I’m OK with my Bachelors :D ), but never felt like picking it back up.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_port

Because there’s going to be kids around here who have never seen this port (other than maybe on a Point Of Sale (POS) system?)

I just checked his Wikipedia page for his credentials. Worked for 9 years at NASA, of which 7 working on the Curiosity rover (yeah, the one that’s on Mars now).

I’d say that’s credentialed enough.

I too wish he did more complex stuff.
