I swear, some decisionmakers deserve a brutal punch in their face. I don't even care anymore about being civil in such matters.

Has that abomination of a title also been generated by one?

That hasn't seen so much as even a patch in years

Just set up a simple VPN with nginx and upload the page, done. Stop overthinking and overengineering everthing to smithereens.
We have something similar in Switzerland called FairTiq

Technically, there was DSSSL already though. It is missed dearly.
Re:Opengist: Open-source alternative to GitHub Gists on Wednesday April 24, 2024 @04:13AM (#40141878)
I guess one neat feature is that every gist is actually also a git repository, but that's about it...
That is literally a bash oneliner - pipe curl into tar, and have it unpack to ~/.local/bin.

Thank goodness, someone with a decent distro
Ah yes, when using your package manager is too cumbersome...
We're doomed.

At that point, it already was a looong time since the greek alphabet evolved - via a few other cultures in between - from hieroglyphs, so it went back to egypt the long way around

At least as long as you manage to find an old, not-yet-mutilated version...

Most Harry Potter fans have never even read the books, but just seen the films, further supporting your argument
You need a really warped view of reality to see these three phrases as "meant to neg the person into thinking they are worth less"

Re:Ruby vs. Python comes down to the for loop (2021) on Monday April 22, 2024 @06:47AM (#40113066)
Since when does Python have proper static typing? Also, why grep in the age of lsp?

Having a full numeric tower and stuff like having 1/2 evaluate to 1/2 (like in Scheme) definitely is the language designer's responsibility.
At that point, just render a globe.

Were they that desperate for funding that they had to come up with some AI stuff for an already solved problem?

Re:I can't stand using VSCode so I wrote my own on Monday April 22, 2024 @02:26AM (#40111856)
Oh, yes, I used to use gdb just a small handful of times a few years ago, but Emacs' gdb mode is very powerful. But I assume there is a gdb DAP as well by now?
Re:I can't stand using VSCode so I wrote my own on Sunday April 21, 2024 @04:34PM (#40108982)
And same for Emacs, great LSP and DAP integration.

Re:Why did software become worse lately? on Saturday April 20, 2024 @04:40AM (#40095816)
It is getting worse and worse due to CV-driven development, hypetrains, and moving further and further away from standards. It is horrible and frustrating.
