Using faxes is much more streamlined than the more modern Scan, Email, Print process.

This is somewhat ironic, given that it was systemd that replaced the battle-tested systems that came before it, and variants of your comment were used to argue against it.

I think you are not very accurate about “open source product” vs something like “community led project”. People being able to adapt their software to their own needs by making changes to the code is exactly what open source is about. This

Giving good individual feedback requires effort and is low priority. Those things tend to not happen without requiring complicated feelings to be involved.

Which direction of contrast is your problem? For me, the small contrast on pages like HN (in particular with any of the gray text) strains my eyes because it’s more effort for me to see the letters. But I also read a reasonable amount of PD

Maybe, but the pronunciation of the forge part is essentially just the English one (at least much, much closer to an attempted German pronunciation). The jo part is close to German though, so maybe this is why it’s not too bad for someone w

This seems to be a good tagline for a HN audience that kinda clicks a link blind and wants to figure out what it is quickly and move on. But it’s unclear to me why the Forgejo website should care about this type of visitor? Being a “forge”

> I understand your first language is German. Figures. I assume your argument is: “Everyone who had to learn English as a second language is so used to completely random pronunciation that they won’t complain about anything anymore”.

While I understand the utility of separating contexts and making “distractions” from the current context harder to access. Doesn’t better integration into your system window management kinda defeat this separation again? Is there a signific

While I am glad that you seem to have found a new workflow that you like, your description strikes me as a personal experience. I am aware that a lot of people use searches as a form of navigation, but it’s also very common that people use

The way that this syntax (see bash, zsh, fish, etc) usually work is that these lists are separated by spaces. You can still quote arguments if they contain spaces (or escape the spaces). Choosing space for a very common thing in your langua

I understand this as systemds config being less powerful than using Guile? If so, I fully agree, on the config being less powerful. Maybe let me add to my original argument, because it does not seem to make it’s point well. I think that it

The point in the Article is that Meta used LibGen to train, not legally obtained books from their local library. The problem is that if you and I made use of LibGen and some of the “right holders” (more likely some IP specialized law firms)

I don’t think this is about lisp syntax. The systemd variant uses one of the universal DSLs for key-value pairs (key=value) and the universal DSL for calling programs (program name, space separated list of arguments). The latter is even the

Traits in Rust are more a variant of Haskell typeclasses than of Smalltalk traits. The whole FP vs OOP distinction does make little sense these days, as it has mostly been shown that each concept from the one can neatly fit within the other

You find the first part in your stack that is documented (e.g., make is documented, even if your makefile is not) and use that documentation to understand the undocumented part. You then write down your findings for the next person. If you

Basically, opting out is the most reliable way to not accidentally give Google full access to private use data because backups are stored in their cloud by default. My understanding is that this was the same for Apple until they added e2e e

If you managed to figure out how to edit the Windows registry, you probably would also be able to figure out how to edit config files on Linux. Navigating to the correct paths can be done in any GUI file explorer and there are plenty of GUI

Given that the original article is criticizing the unequal wealth in the USA, a GDP PPP (which is an average) but higher concentration of wealth would imply that most people in the USA are much worse off.

Would recommend to just try their 100 free searches. Their results are good, but it’s hard to have an objective measure. For me, it’s the little features that make it worth it (and that they have a forum for feature requests, and a proper

If you mean the text position that overflows, that seems to be computed by the library. The same happens in chromium at some resolutions.

Again, I see where you are coming from, and I do agree that a lot of discussion about Git (and it’s workflow) is really about GitHub (and it’s workflow). But even when using GitHub as the hosting service, every time you work on a local bran

As far as I can tell, what is really meant by “rebase is only possible for "private" commits.” is that for public commits, rebasing would require to coordinate with everyone interested in that branch. This seems to be very similar

First of, I do like that style. In the context of my argument its quite interesting because you essentially argue that one can get the benefits of separate runtime implementations without actually needing pure functions (in a very strict se
