@maiyannah And the problem with the connect-the-libs mentality is that you still need to fix things if something goes wrong. This is why I think one of the most important skills is reading and understanding code, perhaps even more important than actually writing code.
-
@maiyannah Sorry, I couldn't quite make out what it said due to all those distracting parentheses. :P

You know, Powershell is not a bad sysadmin language at all, but certain design decision just make me go WTF. It's _really_ hard in Powershell to consume the output of a process line by line. That stuff is trivial in bash. (For the curious, I'm setting up end-to-end tests and for that I need to start a few servers and wait for them to be ready. The servers conveniently announce that in a line on stdout. Due to Powershell not extending the whole stream metaphor to process output however I think it'll be easier for me to rig the servers to create a file / send a message to the supervisor script.)

Sigh, people calling D the Rust killer. Nope, different languages with different goals and trade-offs. I may not particularly like Rust and I do have a soft spot for D but that doesn't stop me from thinking Rust is a good language for certain use cases. Really, what is it with everything having to be the mark of a tribe? It's programming languages, not bloody soccer teams.
-
@maiyannah Those arm muscles. Makes it really believable that's a lass who can shoot a longbow.

Gitlab silently introduces a change that webhook requests to the local network no longer work by default and if you do try ityou get a 500. Real quality UX there guys.

So there's a new JVM implementation especially suited for non-Java languages. Upside: created by the official company behind Java. Downside: that company is Oracle. Err, I think I'd prefer the .NET alternative, company behind it is more trustworthy and less evil (and that's MS we're talking about!).

@purplehippo I hope he's good at fencing. (Dutch "heling" = buying stolen goods)

Clinton allies mad at Comey. Eh, can I just say that Clinton, Trump and Comey are all pretty flawed. Then again a three way fight between them would be amusing, as long as it's not basketball of course.
-
I don't know what's more amazing: that BCPL didn't have floats for 50 years or that the original (!) author changed that after 50 years. (Apparently it's to support an opengl interface.)
-
@maiyannah True. But defense in depth is a good thing and a well designed daemon should be easy to confine (see e.g. openbsd pledge).
-
@maiyannah Yeah. I understand your point. Personally I'd go for D because I know from experience how bad I am with malloc/free but when you're really good at C it's a really good language for a lot of things. Just make sure you run that daemon with a proper jail in place. ;P

@maiyannah @purplehippo Twitter, Mastodon, what's the difference?
-
@maiyannah @purplehippo Sigh, complicated legal matters and tweets. That dev is a dumbo.
-
@purplehippo As I understand it was a supporting argument in a lawsuit alleging that another company violated their copyrights. A "look at how similar this game is even in small details". I don't know how far the lawsuit has merit, but as far as I know it's not a blanket standalone claim.
