Why do you lie?

Between 1997 and 2013, girls were abused by grooming gangs of predominantly Pakistani men.

App works great. Parkeeter TDT V3 not so much. I speak Polish and it detects Russian. Also there is no possibility to force language:

Also this:

There is no ethical obligation. You just want them to release new work under open source licence.

They gave code for free, under open source, but you call them assholes if they do not release more code for free. So who is the asshole here? You or them?

Also oh-my-posh supports transient prompt and AFAIK starship.rs does not.

"Transient prompt, when enabled, replaces the prompt with a simpler one to allow more screen real estate." https://ohmyposh.dev/docs/configuration/transient

I have found this old comment:

* Battery life is a lie, especially since it drains almost as much battery closed as it does open.

...

Overall, I think I am probably going to switch back to a macbook after this, not being able to go a day without charging and your laptop always being on low battery is a bit anxiety inducing.

I think you confuse USA with some other country. Read about electoral votes.

Mine roast:

- Spends so much time talking about Zig that even their keyboard autocorrects 'big' to 'zig' - Has probably spent more time configuring Nix than actually using the software installed with it - Could write a PhD thesis on build systems but still can't build a consistent sleep schedule

kristoff wrote the same about performance

> More generally, RAII is a feature that exists in tension with the approach of operating on items in batches, which is an essential technique when writing performance-oriented software.

> And it doesn’t end here: operating in batches by using memory arenas, for example, is also a way to reduce memory ownership complexity, since you are turning orchestration of N lifetimes into 1.

Re:Svelte 5 Released on Monday October 21, 2024 @01:29AM (#41900930)
Maybe because I used nix, gentoo, exherbo, slackware etc.

Also drawbacks for me when using nix:

- I needed to greatly increase boot partiton, because nix stores there linux kernels. Whith dual-booting Windows, I created 2GB partiton at the end of disk. Thankfulluly Windows reused it.

- vscode was having strange laggines on nix.

- nix language is quite strange but also imo taught poorly. This was my attempt to demistify it https://github.com/rofrol/nix-for-javascript-developers.

btw. nice remark about nix beeing declarative but beneath is Linux not-declarative. It is like functional programming, but you still have some internal state of components that can clash with your functional top-down approach.

I needed to create bigger efi partition for nix, because nix stores there kernels.
great answer, thanks

GUI you say. So I have upgraded ubuntu 20.04 to ubuntu 24.04:

`sudo sed -i -re 's/([a-z]{2}\.)?archive.ubuntu.com|security.ubuntu.com/old-releases.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list`

update /etc/environment

and restart.
