I don't think you understand the problem.

I will never put myself in a situation again where I have to explain that it’s not weird to anyone again, same for that URL.

To some people, anubis is weird, there is no changing that. It does the job, the mascot can be changed by paying, but the project itself is weird to some people. Such person is asking, is there an alternative. You cannot just say "push back that is not weird".

There were proposals for next version being 3.141, followed by 3.1415 and so on. A missed opportunity.

It's aggregation in general. It's the iterator function you can use to implement sum, or count, or both at the same time.

This post is just saying that's interesting that people dislike is more than say map or filter

Guss Fring used to be a scientist? That a parallel to Walter White! Bravo vince, you've done it again

Wait, is this a proxy to my API? If yes, what's the privacy policy / do you think users and providers would trust you with sensitive data (that might be subject to local privacy laws). If no, how can users buy access to my API though your platform?

Also, what kind of APIs are supported? REST (HTTP+JSON)? JSON-RPC? gRPC? Capnproto?

dousing them with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, acetic acid, salt, and acrylic paint

Is there a civil engineer here who would know what degree of damage will this cause?

Does things like gmail, google maps and g calendar work? If not, are there workarounds?

Which mobile OS are you guys using? How well do they work? How do they compare to stock android?

I'm thinking about flashing /e/OS over Android.

What? You list metaprogramming as a plus? And functional programming as a minus?

You should rewrite this meme in rust.

I say mantra because there is a large amount of people just hating AI outright, without a grounded reasoning.

Granted, coding agents are insecure by default - they are built to execute remote code - but that does not mean they are generally useless/harmful/bad. I run them in a container, with access to the codebase only.

Also, they hallucinate, produce over-convoluted abstractions, do not know when to reject instead of blindly trying to find a way trough a brick wall.

But also, they can answer questions about gigantic codebases way faster than I could. They can generate tests, find missing test coverage, review code, and many other things.

 

If imperioum has made a mistake a sent a man that was released back to some other level, how does that tell prisoners that all released inmates are just being sent to another prison?

For the last year, I've been working on a query language that aims to replace SQL and data frame libraries. It's continuation of my work on PRQL and EdgeQL.

Now I need feedback on usability, ergonomics and overall design. Read trough the examples, check out the CLI & tell me what could be better.

Is anyone here running Sandstorm? If yes, what's your experience?

I really like the idea of "grains" where an instance of the app runs for each document/project/unit of data your app has. It does improve security a lot, because it is very similar as running root-less docker.

I also like the unified auth and user management sandstorm provides.

 

I don't have much to say, only that I expected flutter to be a bloated fragile abstraction on top of different native GUI APIs, but no.

It's quite fast, relatively easy to develop and it just works.

I'm working on a desktop app that needs a high-perf rust impl, and (for now) flutter looks like a much better choice than tauri.

 

When I was in high school I found Sublime Text and learned "multiple cursors". Since then, I've transitioned to vscode, mainly because I need LSP (without too much configuration work) for my work.

I keep hearing about how modal editing is faster and I would like to switch to a more performant editor. I've been looking at helix, as the 4th generation of the vi line of editors. Is anyone using it? Is it any good for the main code editor?

The problem that I have is that learning new editing keybindings would probably take me a month of time, before I get to the same amount of productivity (if I ever get here at all). So I'm looking for advice of people who have already done that before.

My code editing does involve a lot of "ctrl-arrow" to move around words, "ctrl-shift-arrow" to select words, "home/end" to move to beginning/end of the line, "ctrl-d" for "new cursor at next occurrence", "shift-alt-down" for "new cursor in the line below", "ctrl-shift-f" for "format file" and a few more to move around using LSP-provided "declaration"/"usages".

I would have to unlearn all of that.

Also, I do use "ctrl-arrow" to edit this post. Have you changed keybindings in firefox too?

 

Anyone using soucehut (sr.ht)? Can you please explain to me how you navigate the site?

I really like the minimalist approach and extremely fast website UI, but I just cannot navigate the site.

If I'm looking at source of a repo on https://git.sr.ht/ and want to see open tickets, how do I navigate to https://todo.sr.ht/ ? If I click on "todo" at the top, it takes me to my todo lists, not todo of the project I was just looking at.

 

I'd expect the state to have a list of all its citizens and their basic personal info (age) which could be used to determine their eligibility for voting. In my country, we get a "invitation" to the vote, with your voter station and info on how to change it.

Instead, I'm seeing posts about USA's "voter rolls", which are sometimes purged, which prevents people from voting. Isn't this an attack on the voting system and democracy itself?

So why doesn't USA have a list of voters? Are they stupid?

 

I know that the answer is yes, I should, but outlets near the setup are not grounded (even though they look like they are) and I don't want to have wires running though my living room.

The real question is what are potential problems ? Occasional system reboots? Permanent damage to PSU? Permanent damage to other components?
