The only thing I liked was arch’s pretty boot sequence … which I stared at for a while because SysV init was so slow.

systemd, not SystemD, or system d.
But yeah, wonderful talk!
I mean, if you treat your inbox as a to-do list, that’s not that far-fetched
Python is just glorified shell scripting
Absolutely not, python is an actual programming language with sane error handling and arbitrarily nestable data structures.
I don’t like the indentation crap
Don’t be so superficial. When learning something, go with the flow and try to work with the design choices, not against them.
Python simply writes a bit differently: you do e.g. more function definitions and list comprehensions.
Not only is there a UInt8Array, there’s also a bunch of others: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/TypedArray#typedarray_objects
Once git no longer depends on it, it’ll be gone from my system
Nah, gross. You need to set a bunch of global options to get sane behavior on errors.
Nushell is shaping up really really nicely, and it’ll actually stop executing if something fails! Even if that happens in a pipe! And it’s not super eager to convert between arrays and strings if you use the wrong cryptic rune.
Big difference between the pro and consumer versions though. Which ones are you referring to?
It’s not perfect, but it’s good introductory material for people who fell for the right-wing propaganda of “everybody’s called a fascist now, there isn’t even a definition”.
Yes, suckers, there are people with an understanding of what fascism is, and they agree for a reason about the dangers of things like calling people vermin, casting doubt on election integrity, and strong man rhetoric.
Almost as if he is one and the definitions agree for a reason.
Yeah, the Nazis weren’t really subtle. If you instead maintain a civil front inward for public support, you can wreak havoc more effectively.
That’s why fascism is a different kind of danger. It wouldn’t leech off of other places for centuries, it would explosively and directly attack internal and external enemies.
Neither of these things can be risked.
Yes, that’s why I wrote the part after “I see what you’re getting at”
Fascism is a pretty specific ideology. If you want to learn more, Umberto Eco made a list.
I get where you’re getting at: the role of past and ongoing colonialism is still being downplayed. But you’re wrong. There are very good reasons why we should fear fascism in particular.
… I’m just joking, I didn’t attack anyone, only a multi-billion tech conglomerate. I don’t understand howi can possibly be an ass here.
Cancer? Eating feces? Stabbing forks in your own eyes?
There’s loads of alternatives!
Huh, I really like code like that. Having a multi-step process split up into sections like that is amazing to reason about actual dependencies of the individual sections. Granted, that only applies if the individual steps are kinda independently meaningful
To adapt your example to what I mean:
Baz do_stuff(int count, boolean cond) {
Foo part1 = function1(count);
Bar part2 = function2(cond);
return function3(part1, part2);
}
This allows you to immediately see that part1 and part2 are independently calculated, and what goes into calculating them.
There are several benefits, e.g.:
You can theme plasma and turn the effects off. Why isn’t that exactly what you want?
That’s just completely wrong. Just try e.g. replacing the journald backend with the old text based syslog, and not only will you discover that is possible (which directly contradicts what you just said), it’s also easy!
