  • X.Org IMAKE Updated For Those Not Yet Transitioned To Autoconf/Automake Or Meson

    Jump

  • Who would have thought that there would be a context in which GNU Autoconf and Automake were considered the modern way to build software?

  • Starship Roles Arranged by Authority

    Jump

  • The word "mutiny" just means that an insurrection took place; it does not imply success or failure. A 1-person mutiny is still a mutiny, even if the odds of success are minimal.

  • Starship Roles Arranged by Authority

    Jump

  • Sure, but the point is that not all of the officers are necessarily mutineers themselves.

  • base 10

    Jump

  • My species uses e as its base because that is proven to be mathematically optimal. In our number system, humans use base 2.3025850... (but written entirely as powers of e using our far superior elegant notation, of course!)

  • folders is inherently a bad idea

    Jump

  • No, scratch that. Even black holes radiate out the information they receive. M-Files doesn’t.

    That is an amazing zinger!

  • 44% Of GNOME Core Apps Are Written In C, 13% In JavaScript & 10% In Rust

    Jump

  • I was also a bit surprised to see that Vala is so widely adopted, but it is a very natural fit when you consider that it was specifically designed to use GObject as its OOP implementation, making it essentially a "native" speaker in GNOME.

  • If it makes you feel better you could stuff all of your savings under a mattress?

  • Don't be a fool, use the proper tool.

    Jump

  • Nah, presumably the developer already has an operating system and just needs a text editor.

  • What popular belief do you disagree with?

    Jump

  • You might be right, but you don't actually know that for certain. If your consciousness emerged from nothingness once, there's no reason why it could not do so again (albeit probably in a completely unrecognizable form).

    Personally, I am agnostic as to whether reincarnation is a thing or not, but honestly, when taking the numbers into account, oblivion sounds like a much better deal than spending my next billion lifetimes as a bug that lasts for only a brief time before being eaten in one of countless agonizing ways. (There is a reason why the Eastern religions that believe in reincarnation tend to emphasize that the ultimate goal is to escape it.)

  • Kid Rock

    Jump

  • Not to be confused with Weird AI, which is in the intersection of none of the circles.

  • What popular belief do you disagree with?

    Jump

  • Oh, thank Albert! I was looking for you.

    Here is the list of new things I want that I came up with since we last talked...

  • You can pry pattern matching from my cold dead hands

    Jump

  • And what is the best tool for the job? The best tool for the job.

  • Free software has some glib naming conventions

    Jump

  • At least it's Not Unix.

  • Torvalds On Linux Security Modules: "I Already Think We Have Too Many Of Those Pointless Things"

    Jump

  • I barely trust natural intelligence with anything relating to security.

  • What is your development environment?

    Jump

  • Specifically, the Team17 kind that shoot at each other.

  • System76 Launches Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS With COSMIC Desktop

    Jump

  • Yeah, in my opinion they should not have been obsessing over getting COSMIC to work before releasing 24.04.

  • What's the point of lightweight code with modern computers?

    Jump

  • Ugh, all of the content was crammed into a thin box on the left of the page, so I did not bother trying to read it.

  • Whats the worst book anyone has ever recommended you?

    Jump

  • I don't know, I think it offer the incredibly valuable life lesson that the secret to being happy is to convince a publisher to give you a $200,000 advance to spend on "spiritual and personal exploration" so that you don't have to get a real job.

  • Whats the worst book anyone has ever recommended you?

    Jump

  • The worst part was that there were references to cool things that he'd find in the tower once he got there, such as music that was enjoyed by people on a particular floor, and then

    Stephen King had the last book end with a time loop going back to the first book like a coward.

    I dragged myself through the last couple of books to find out what was in that stupid tower and was so incredibly disappointed...

    (I will say, though, that, the city of people who used their psychic powers to destroy the Universe because someone was going to destroy it anyway so it might as well be them because the job paid really well was pretty apt, though!)
