Scottish loon sometimes in Caithness, usually in Edinburgh. Likes rugby, F1, reading, cooking, and irn bru
Looks ready for actual use now, rather than tinkering with. Package management was my biggest gripe (URLs are literally what it used before). I would like to see TS as the first class citizen however, with JS being deprecated essentially.
Lol, sure, that happened
DRM infected files mean that you as a consumer don’t own anything. As someome else can destroy it.
The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it
DRM violates this principle. Atreides forever
Found it’s niche may be a better way to put it. Technology is very active, programming is full of good content. A good few meme communities. And the daily comics are great too. Plenty more examples. But plenty of communities pale in comparison to reddit, and this is likely due to the normie effect.
Techologists lead normies by 2 to 3 years, so give it another year yet before people migrate in bigger numbers

Excel mostly, csv wasn’t much of a standard and thus it’s horrible to work with. We can fix that with a parquet importer and exporter!
Friends don’t let friends use csv in 2024. Excel needs a good parquet importer and exporter today. Ya hearing Microsoft? Quit pissing around with recall and build something useful!
Nah, just back to Gopher and 5k baud. As an aside: Gemini is pretty awesome
What would you replace it with? There are lessons to be learnt from the web, but to “fix” it is much harder
openSUSE worth a consideration. More frequent releases than debian, but still pretty conservative
It isn’t. GZDoom has been doing this for years and years
This deserves an hour of reading. My first pass is a criticism too sadly. Addition is too trivial, and every example is pure - this needs a rubber meets the road example to really spell out the benefits.
Philip Wadler story for you though: he taught me first year at uni and his first lecture he rips open his shirt and proclaims himself “Lambda Man!” - Haskell was a fun first semester
Okular
Sadly it seems we need to have some ID checks now in place then. Making it more costly to run, and a barrier to voting too meaning results likely to be less typical of the population. This is why we can’t have nice things
Pandas. Python’s only killer library imo
Some fuckwit VP needs fired over this decision. It was a simple game: pickup fairs, earn extra time, unlock stuff as you progress. If a publisher want extra cash, do more levels, or different jobs (delivery driver addon anyone?). And a fun soundtrack
Should have been able to bang it out for a million quid, and then reap the rewards. But nooo, now we have a game nobody wants to play, costing 20mil and will have servers shut down 2 years after launch
Everything that is wrong with gaming in 2024

The Dune universe lacks computers, which is why spice is so valuable - does that count? Still has plenty of machines, but they aren’t the story
