  • Last time I read something from her on the topic, she seemed to like Shenzhen too much to want to get out.

    That was before things took a turn in her life, though. I wonder if that has changed.

  • Discord alternatives?

  • Matrix is probably the closest to Discord overall. If Element is bugging out on you, it might be worth trying other clients. Nheko worked well when I tried it, for example. Do note that the matrixorg homeserver is sometimes overloaded, so if you're having responsiveness issues, choosing or running a different homeserver will probably clear them right up.

    Mumble.info is great for voice. If your text chat needs are pretty basic, it might be a good fit. I don't think it saves message history.

    XMPP is a protocol, not an app. If you you saw an interface you didn't like, you could always just use a different client. I don't usually recommend it, since setting it up with all the features people usually expect is a bit complicated and error-prone, but it would probably be fine among a small group of friends if one of them has tech skills. I don't think it offers voice, at least not in any widely-supported way.

  • Git grumpy: Torvalds complains of passive voice in merge commit messages

    Jump

  • I read his message. He didn't seem grumpy or frustrated to me; just encouraging folks to use a certain style that's already in wide use, for reduced noise and better consistency.

  • What are your favorite statically typed, compiled, memory safe programming languages?

    Jump

  • With no context, this could be an honest attempt to learn about different tools, a thinly veiled set-up to promote a specific language, or an attempt to stir up drama. I can't tell which.

    It's curious how such specific conditions are embedded into the question with no explanation of why, yet "memory safe" is included among them without specifying what kind of memory safety.

  • World's Biggest Anime Piracy Streaming Site (Hianime.to) Put on U.S. Government's Radar as Major Threat

    Jump

  • Okay, Henny Penny. Now that we see your judgment of major threats is worthless (and your motivations entirely profit-driven self-interest) we know that we should ignore you when you scream that the sky is falling.

    If you want to sell more anime, improve your service or lower your price.

  • WIRED: Neo-Nazis Are Fleeing Telegram for Encrypted App SimpleX Chat.

  • Why not link the original source?

    Was this article funded by a would-be surveillance state? If not, I wonder what David Gilbert's headline will be when he learns that roads, telephones, postal services, and conference halls are also used by neo-nazis.

  • Zig vs Rust. Which one is going to be future?

  • And Perl both still exists and is actively maintained, so it “lost prominence” rather than “died”.

    Okay, but you're the one who called out "the demise of Perl". Have you changed your mind? I was just responding to your question.

    For what it's worth, I think you were right about that: Perl is dead, in the sense of no longer growing or even maintaining the reach it once had. Other languages are overwhelmingly chosen for new code, while Perl has mostly fallen into disuse outside of people who learned it in its heyday and haven't moved on, and irrelevance outside of legacy systems. It might not be quite as much a dead language as Latin (which also still exists and sees some use) but it's well on its way there.

  • Zig vs Rust. Which one is going to be future?

    Jump

  • I see. You replied to me, though, with commentary that doesn't fit the question I was answering or the thoughts I was expressing. Don't you think it would have made more sense as a reply to OP?

  • Zig vs Rust. Which one is going to be future?

    Jump

  • Okay, but...

    it’s clearly decided that Rust will be part of the future.

    That's not what OP asked.

    If you think Zig still has a chance at overtaking Rust though, that’s very much wishful thinking.

    That's not what I said.

  • Zig vs Rust. Which one is going to be future?

    Jump

  • It's too early to tell.

    Rust has a killer feature and a tonne of buzz, but poor ergonomics.

    Zig is developing into simple elegance and wonderful interop, but has more work to do before it will be widely usable.

    It's entirely possible that ideas and lessons taken from them will inspire another language that ends up eclipsing them both.

  • Isn’t exactly this kind of thing what is mostly responsible for the demise of Perl?

    Perl died because better tools became available.

  • I think the WebView it uses on linux is webkit2gtk. I would expect that to be similar to Electron, but measurements would be better than guesses.

  • Reminds me of a recent Disney case:

    It bothers me that we as a society continue to surrender our agency, our rights, and even our well-being to whatever restrictions a corporation makes up to benefit itself, just because they're in a (practically unavoidable) terms & conditions document.

    It's getting so bad that people sometimes mistake corporate policies for law, crying "that's illegal" if someone steps outside the bounds of a software license.

    Adding insult to injury, enforcement of these things is paid for by us, through taxes.
