  • Chicory with potatoes and a steak for lunch today.

    Jump

  • Interesting, I only know chicory as these bad boys:

  • How do Atheists raise their kids

    Jump

  • Yeah, I feel like Christians make a big deal out of life vs. death. Life is declared this super great thing that was gifted to them by their god. And death is described like an eternal departure into the unknown.

    Meanwhile, if you view things in a much more mundane way, life is just your atoms jiggling about. It's not particularly bad, when they stop jiggling together.But even if you do prefer them being part of a pile that's deemed 'alive', your left toe is probably gonna get eaten by a worm and brought into a field, where a plant will pick up the atoms and grow some seeds, which get carried by a bird into the next forest and so on. Your atoms will almost certainly be part of many alive piles of atoms going forward.

  • Why?

    Jump

  • TIL cheese is fundamentally just fat, protein...

    Jump

  • Man, you seem to get much nicer vegan cheese. In the shops here, it's just slices of hardened fat with flavoring and no protein.

    Some brands do make it taste like real Gouda, but it still feels so very pointless to throw just some fat onto your bread. Might as well eat the bread by itself or, you know, with real food like baked beans or dal or such.

  • Why languages should never reorder structs

    Jump

  • What a video, man.

    Argumentation: In specific cases, you can achieve better performance by manually ordering, but 99% of devs will never know that might be a possibility.

    Conclusion: Those 99% should somehow know to opt into automatic re-ordering, rather than those who know what they're doing having to opt out.

    I lack the knowledge/skills to fix my slop of an attempted shell script

    Jump

  • From what I understand, on Debian and therefore presumably also Devuan, the system-wide default shell is dash. So, sh symlinks to dash.

    But dash is virtually unusable for interactive use, so they configure the terminal emulator to launch bash on start-up.

    In effect, scripts get executed with dash by default, but commands you type into a terminal get run by bash.

  • Given the recent uproar about AI usage in rsync a PSA: maintainers owe you nothing

    Jump

  • Their point is that the maintainer did not sign a contract that requires them to perform maintainer duties. They can choose to stop doing it at any point. They can choose to axe a feature that you deem essential. They can choose to rewrite the project in COBOL for the fun of it.

    You may not like it, but that is how it is.The only legal document involved is the license and any open-source license I've seen so far, has stated that the program is provided as is.

    This is the license under which rsync is provided: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.htmlSee sections 15 and 16.

    The only way you get to have a say in the matter, is by forking and becoming a maintainer yourself.

  • Were low-bass singers a thing before amplification?

    Jump

  • I mean, not everyone has to train their voice to sing low notes. If it's just your natural range, you won't have much choice but to sing bass.

    Anecdotal, but I've also had to be called back the one time I was singing in a choir, because I was too loud compared to the rest.To some degree, I imagine that's a physics thing, due to having a larger (resonance) body and being able to push more air through the longer vocal cords. But of course, you also simply don't need to be as present as the melody on top.

  • why are cats like this

    Jump

  • Nah, I first saw this photo many years ago...

  • How to make a REPL-based DSL using rust

    Jump

  • Home Cooked Meal [Teddy]

    Jump

  • I kind of want to try it now, though. It's a thing to fry rice before you cook it, so maybe you can also do that with oatmeal?

  • What type of program should this be?

    Jump

  • Coming at it from the Rust ecosystem, I'd primarily opt for uploading release binaries somewhere. You don't particularly need a setup script, since Rust programs are generally self-contained.

    Publishing a package in addition to that really isn't hard, but would be my secondary choice, since users are not likely to have cargo on their system.Well, and cargo compiles on the target machine, which is great for supporting unusual architectures, but you may have C libraries included where it's just a gamble whether you can compile them on a given target system.

  • Continuwuity

    Jump

  • Lots of folks also like the unmarketable names, because you know that it's not a corporate project. You're hearing about it, because it's actually good, and not just because some startup got VC money to do marketing.

    Heck, the reverse is true as well. This project is better specifically because it has that name. You just know some transfemmes are tirelessly hacking away at it, because they enjoy the silly name.

  • Make some noise!

    Jump

  • Yeah, it's definitely a trope to make it obvious to the viewer what's happening, and of course, to build up drama.

  • I heard "dick jousting" before...

  • just pick your platform bro :3

    Jump

  • Impressive

    Jump

  • Yeah, true. To both, your correction and your caveat. 😅

  • Impressive

    Jump

  • I do find it an interesting choice. Normally, you'd put a comma there, but you could also use a colon. If you combine comma and colon, you do get a semicolon.
