  • TOML

    Jump
  • If this is where the toml train ends I will be happy with it. If they do a yaml, I will be very upset.

  • Does look like a pretty cool project. I don't like using AUR packages for my system dependencies though. Pretty happy with Niri right now, so I can wait.

  • Intel is such a weird company, "we're still having issues with CPU's and factories, let's scale up GPU stuff!"

    Tbh I hope it goes well for them, more competition can only be a good thing. AMD is basically unchallenged on Linux and NVIDIA is unchallenged on Windows.

  • I would recommend btrfs at this point. I use it for my OS harddrive and I would also use it for my second harddrive except I don't want to format it, so it's still running ext4.

    Theoretically btrfs runs slower then ext4 but you won't see it outside of benchmarks. Btrfs can also do integrity checks and healing so your drive (might) last longer, ultimately, that one depends on what exactly is wrong with it.

  • So sick of this doomer BS. I went and had a look at Linus' "FoSS vibe coded project" that everyone's been flipping their shit over.

    1. It's only the python UI
    2. It's gluing together matlib and pandas
    3. It's written like a crazy person and I would absolutely reject that if it was a PR.

    Like, it apparently worked for Linus and he also doesn't care to learn python at all. But I was under the impression that these things are supposed to be good at python.

    This was completely unhinged garbage that I'm shocked even worked. It created the same function twice one after the other. We have nested python functions.

    We have these unhinged guard conditions where if navigation is true we return. THEN we immediately set it to be true and at the end of the function we set it to false again. I thought I was high reading that code. If you legitimately think these things are better at writing code then you are, you suck at writing code.

  • MCC was last gen wasn't it? Why do we need yet another halo CE remake? Also, didn't they just do a Gears of war remake? I swear they released on steam recently.

  • I vaguely remember hearing this this was only really available for toy code and that this function created the class ignored the arguments and qualified println when you compiled it, so it wasn't actually that useful?

  • I think microkernel's are weird but everything I hear does seem to imply they are better then what we currently have. That being said, "microkernel's are the future" is a pretty old take now and I don't know any OS that has one.

    Linux is monolithic. Windows is somehow monolithic, bloated and extremely minimal. Don't know about apple but I would guess they're also monolithic since they are old and Unix based and that combination generally means monolithic.

  • Do you mean GNU Shepherd? The same init system that only got to 1.0 last year? Systems has been carrying Linux for years at this point.

  • Didn't we literally just get done with massive marches for Palestine in every capital city? I don't think that many people changed their mind...

  • Polling the API every second, are you crazy?!

  • Monads

    Jump
  • Whenever I try and get a proper explanation of a monad from the internet I get these miserable opaque examples which make me go "sorry I asked!" But I think a monad is basically just single type that when unwrapped gives you the result of a calculation and some metadata about the calculation.

    I think it's more like Rust's Result or Option types then go's tuples but I'd say they both basically count.

  • Nah, I recently had to create a program that turned a bunch of extracted CSV files into an XML file for government reporting. I also had to parse some provided government XML files to add things into my output.

    This was going to be run by non-technical people on any OS so I went for python because "install python, download this file and click on it" was easy. Python has a big standard library so I could do everything I needed in it. I was considering using Go but asking people to open the terminal and build something was probably a bridge too far.

  • I/O and stuff like that is being done in the WASI proposals not in WASM proper. I believe most of this stuff is waiting for initial implementations at this point and then it becomes a proper standard.

  • What honest criticisms did you find in this article? All I saw was;

    • compiling is slow
    • borrow checker is complicated

    This isn't new?

  • This doesn't look like a Claude issue or an AI issue, this looks like someone pushed malicious code to a repo and they where trying to make AI tools ignore these files? I'm not reading this wrong am I?

  • What am I supposed to be looking at? They post a lot? They post American, Aus, NZ stuff? What are you on about?

  • Isn't the EV tax effectively just a fuel excise tax for cars that don't use fuel? I mean, regardless of what this article thinks the fuel excise is described as "a sales tax on fuel that is reinvested into roads".
