It is always dismissed as too verbose, while in go’s case it is never mentioned, when in fact the latter is way more verbose.. People’s bias show.

No, an alias will only give you pseudo-anonymity. Even trivial analysis like counting which words occur together frequently in your writings can reveal with very good accuracy any other alt of you, so the available information of you is basically everything you have shared online with enough accompanying self-written text.

Rename it to something else, see if it still works, if not revert, else it is needed.

HttpClient. You don’t necessarily need a third-party tool for rest calls or the like, and it really is quite handy!

You are free to fork it at anytime. I really can’t hate them for having a cohesive vision they plan on developing.

It’s almost like there is an entire branch of philosophy dedicated to this problem and boiling it down to numbers only is just stupid and simplistic.

It’s about GraalVM’s enterprise edition. The free version was.. free since forever.

What impact do games have? Computers use very little energy, and come on, books?! Your plan is just plain stupid.

You can live an ultra minimal footprint life while not suffering - sure, maybe if you live in a huge house alone, move to an apartment and use public transport if feasible, etc. But there is no point in being depressed and basically torturing yourself.

Though to add: many things in your file system are listed as “files” in a directory, but are completely virtual with varying ways on what they do when written to/read from. (Also, linux has streams and files, not only files) E.g. /dev/null will read zeros, and discard data written to. But it has no physical backing.

How is it privacy friendly? Not trying to troll of anything, but people literally share all their likes/dislikes plainly with everyone, and deletes don’t have to actually be executed on other servers.

Or change copy to command+c.. I’m gonna be honest, OSX is right here. And quite strangely it is very hard to customize your linux to imitate that.

They are the stereotypical paper clip AI that will drain our blood to extract its iron content for more paperclips. Except it wants money.

The problem is that it uses WebSockets in a completely braindead way. There is absolutely zero reason to waste server resources on that for every single user. Of course it fails to scale..

Wait — it uses websockets for each and every user??! That’s just completely insane and of course it will fail to scale! There is zero reason for that, have specific live threads with websockets where it makes sense (though that is only mostly a one-way communication so even there it is an overkill), but for mostly static content it is just insanely inefficient.. surely I’m more than fine with that upvote appearing a minute later and not in “real time”!

I do believe that static typing is at least a local optimum, but I am still not entirely convinced. Rich Hickey is a very convincing presenter and I can’t help but think that he is on to something — with Clojure the chosen direction is contract-typing, which is basically a set of pre- and post-conditions for your functions that are evaluated at runtime. Sure, it has a cost and in the extremes they are pretty much the same as dependent types, but I think it is an interesting direction — why should my function be overly strict in accepting a “record” of only these fields?

Languages also have inner consistency. E.g. the mentioned python len function is inconsistent with the rest of the same language - and that is a statement that is true in itself, without an external reference point.

Arguably: docker sucks.

I also thought of that series!

What might be a solution to this problem is to establish a trusted system/program (already hard) that would very comfortably allow you to make these decisions: e.g. you would like to decrease the profits of any company exploiting poor people in Africa (fuck nestle), so you mark that option, and during shopping, scanning a product would instantly flag any which is related to the issue.

There actually is something similar (buycott?), but it is not really used where I live. It probably would have to be very comfortable to use, like actually calculating your budget/spendings, otherwise people wouldn’t use it.

No wayland.

Apple actually already sort of have it — you can go to settings and check whether any repairs/tampering happened on your device. That is I believe a correct approach - you can always check after a repair/second hand buy whether their claims are true, yet it is maximally usable.
