> It is absolutely not a demand that we trample the rights of people whose ideas we don't like. Good, because that's not what I'm advocating. I'm not advocating an act of destroying Wikileaks, I'm advocating for

Completely irrelevant. The relevant thing is that the West need not tolerate pro-Russia entities, especially in these times. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance Funding them would be completely ludicrous

Irssi's UX is better than that of any other chat software, though. Why it hasn't been replicated for things like XMPP and Matrix is probably due to the more difficult and featureful state transitions of those protocols.

I hope they use Mastodon. Because then it'll be trivial for authorities to find out and seize the offending server and probably most of the users if it's part of the global federation.

Heh. I'm sure they thought and worked on others things too, but many focused on it, yes.

Sorry for misunderstanding the mood and context. In context of Zig, this makes a lot of sense, making my calls for humility premature and tad ironic.

Well, you've met one now, so you can update that assumption. And also if you look higher up this thread, the author of this article takes it seriously as well. So that's two already in a pretty short time!

That's a bit silly. I was a Linux user from 1996 to 2015ish, then went to use macbooks almost exclusively. Apple's UI immediately made sense, even if it was remains tad unoptimal for serious use, when comparing to UX masterpieces

Yeah, I was just thinking few days ago how absurdly large Twitter's workforce seemed to be.

How is following someone on another server with Mastodon difficult? Or is that some sort of a meme now?

Ideally the society where the companies operate in should provide the safety rails, thus allowing the company to do whatever it legally can to maximize profits. But that wouldn't be the crony capitalism that we're stuck with now.

>After writing Lisp there is just something wrong about how most languages have an additional step in order to generate the AST. Why? Because it's possible to have a lot better representations of computer code for humans than AST.

I'm sure he'll work hard to make that 100:1. Also, here's your daily reminder to check out Mastodon. https://joinmastodon.org/servers

MacOS costs me $0 also. But of course the open model is better for the consumer, that was never in doubt.

Yes, they frequently fix bugs that have been reported. However, they do this pretty much completely in-house with no communication outside.

They obviously didn't miss this while reviewing the patch, but just wondering: are there any performance/resource implications to making KSYM_NAME_LEN 512 instead of the previous 128 or 256?

That's probably a bit absurd, and would probably cause a lot of changes since it would also mean that all the oceans are practically covered with panels. Here's a reference to a study about large-scale panel installations: https:

It seems that weed smell travels a lot farther than tobacco smoke. If I smell tobacco smoke, I can do a 360 degree turn in seconds to see immediately which direction I need to move 5 meters to avoid it. If I smell weed and want to get away

"Never will" is of course an untrue hyperbole. There are stronger and stronger incentives to make this happen, and while it's probable that non-renewables will never go to 0.0%, they will definitely reach for it. 173TW is the
