fucking love to wait for *squints at screen* SPIRV to build on my computer that lack any capacity to run fricking Vulkan stuff just so I can have a web browser that works
(ungoogled-chromium in this case)

a skeleton is just a tree that grows inside you

read (present tense) and read (past tense) is similar to function overloading in C++

in this essay i will discuss the similarities between the history of C++ and English

so, why did the people upset with #npm make new package managers instead of using #guix or #nix ?

(serious question. i thought everyone agreed that no one needs another language specific package manager.)

@lunduke @jackiemoon @Varan
Is it based on a single quote? No.
Can someone not expressly support fascism while still putting wind in their sails? Yes.
Did you address any individual claim from the thread? No.
Could you have linked to the counterproof that you have? Yes.
Am I impressed by cutesy closing lines? No.

@lunduke @jackiemoon @Varan
I'd love to again have faith in the work you do, so if you could either disprove their points or admit that you need to improve, I'd be super grateful.

@lunduke @jackiemoon @Varan
By the way I didn't say "thread" instead of "post" on accident. It's not the original post that I mean, but allllll the replies that followed. So just to clarify, do you think everyone in that thread should apologize to you? And that alllll of their points are wrong?

@lunduke @jackiemoon @Varan
I think most people involved exhibited great politeness and openness to criticism. And you seem to be missing the point.
Why do you think others should apologize when you won't even admit that the views you express are having an adverse effect?
Or let's go for something less personal, please point out what's wrong with the replies to this post:

yknow all those poor souls who start using #Linux and then an update fucks everything up on their freshly installed Ubuntu and they have no idea what to do?
well, consider this: functional distros like #GuixSD where you can roll back upgrades _could_ be more beginner friendly

@amiloradovsky @vvjade Also this is the exact same "owning the libs" crap we make fun of.

And making them leave is not the ideal goal. If you just "epically own" and "trigger" all the conservatives then they'll indeed leave but they'll tell the tale of the mean leftists who want to kill cops.

hi #gamedev fellas
if you release to OSX and Windows pls also do a Linux release

#foss #linux

hot take:
#cli software should (almost) only have --long-options

(like, ok, -i for input is pretty obvious, but -b for "don't buffer output" needs a proper fucking name, looking at you Plan 9 coreutils, I love the OS around you, but please learn to read long options in those argparse macros)

soooo.... if someone considers the imperial system superior, do they have a foot fetish?

but are you strong enough
to :blobpats:
yourself?

:thinktink:

@xiroux
https://www.duckdns.org/ #Duckdns seems pretty cool, it doesn't need any special software, I could set it up on Plan 9 by putting a hget (curl equivalent) call followed by a sleep in a while true loop

possible downside: no direct signup, you gotta use some OAuth provider

but it seems like it's all donation driven

if you are a #web developer and describe anything you make as "works best on #Chrome" I stop listening to you

my fears were justified: no #Ada in #GuixSD's #gcc package

looking forward to hacking together a package for GNAT

i made a universal dark theme for every software ever and through no small effort i managed to convince every hardware manufacturer to support it as an opt-in feature.

i'm curious, are there domains for which (pure) #functionalProgramming is considered inherently unsuited? especially according to functional programmers who otherwise like FP for most things
