Yeah, you generally just want the same auto-stuff done as would be enforced in CI anyway.

… all the other stuff you could fix but wind up just ignoring because your team ignores it will just glare at you until you sneak it in somehow

It’s just a monoid object in a category of endofunctors, no biggie

I do like the idea of having an intent level character. And once we have that, we don’t need AltGr7 etc (curly braces) to denote which level we’re at either, the whitespace has all the information we need.

But ultimately I just use whatever is default for the language formatter these days. My own personal preferences on that isn’t actually that important, and I find that’s a common feeling once someone just works with the default for a while.

One rather obvious reason is that society has a lot of greybeards in general. The baby boomer generation was named that for a reason, and people have been living longer on average. Lots of countries are struggling with the demographic effects. There’s no reason to expect that tech or something even more specific like FOSS would be exempt.

Another aspect here is that FOSS is still kind of new in society. There’s just more people who have had the chance to age into FOSS greybeards than when those greybeards were young. (And they were thus likely to a lesser degree blocked by entrenched greybeards when they were getting started.)

This is the first I’ve heard something like that about Iceland; but I do know a little bit about Icelandic personal ID numbers.

Yeah, it’s essentially a weathervane or thermometer. You can indicate the state of a country by it.

At this point the US has joined the ranks of, well, grim theocracies. Not that the people at the top in the US worship anything but Mammon.

>What is C++? A miserable huge pile of "should"s

When the leader of the world’s largest superpower dreams of Anschluss of their otherwise allied neighbour, that’s not clickbait, it’s the state of international policy and diplomacy with the leader the US elected.

not the “I have no mouth and I must scream” future, just the “I have a mouth and I must groan” present

I had to figure out how to do the factory reset at the gym after I got the blue triangle of death when leaving work. Oddly enough it synced the gym plan I wanted and leaving it connected to the phone didn’t seem to produce any other ill effects, but I stayed away from anything using GPS.

But yeah, the general advice for Garmins just now seems to be “just don’t” and hope it doesn’t triangle itself until the fix is out

They’re stuck in a reboot loop, but not bricked. A factory reset works (but the problem may reappear on update).

And very old. Part of the sales pitch for the COmmon Business-Protected Language was that anyone could learn to code in almost plain English.

Also, the stuff they wind up making is the kind of stuff that people with no coding experience make. Cooking up an ugly website with terrible performance and security isn’t much harder than making an ugly presentation with lots of WordArt. But it never was, either.

Between COBOL and LLM-enhanced “low code” we had other stuff, like that infamous product from MS that produced terrible HTML. At this point I can’t even recall what it was called. The SharePoint editor maybe?

Yeah, I switched to deezer then, haven’t had any trouble with it.

Nothing to be ashamed about! There’s lots of stuff around the world that some people love but the majority shy away from. All the rest of us can ask is that you enjoy it responsibly and don’t bother other people with the smell. :)

There are some more ways, usually involving fermentation. Us arctic types know some methods. But I get the impression rakfisk, lutefisk, hákarl, surströmming and kiviak would have caught on as exports by now if they were actually something humans in general were interested in eating, rather than the descendants of very specific kinds of desperate people.

Batteries seem to work fine in rural Norway. If you live somewhere warmer and/or with a bigger population or population density than Norway, you should be fine.

You don’t really need the bird flu in that mix, even. Pasteurization was a huge public health win.

What next, fridges are woke nanny state inventions and real red-blooded Americans store all their food in room temperature, especially their raw milk and meat?

I think my usecase of curl is entirely covered by hyper (I just use it for http/s with a small handful of flags); but I also have absolutely no idea what goes on inside curl or how my distro chooses to build it.

Rebuilding curl to use Rust here and there (it still supports rustls and quiche) seems like an interesting undertaking, but yeah, I suspect most curl users don’t build it themselves and have no idea what experimental features it could be built with. Guessing the curl survey has data for that.

Stenberg seems like a cool dude and this seems like an amicable split.

I generally agree, but

1. People who haven’t used a package before likely aren’t interested in release candidates.
2. Axum is one of the few pretty well-known Rust libraries. I’m willing to give that a pass on describing what it is for an RC, much like I’d do the same for FastAPI in a Python community. (But a little default blurb about what they are would be nice anyway to people who are new to the language and/or ecosystem.)

In addition to the other comment about the exit code, you might be interested in the exitcode crate, which offers up a BSD convention for those exit codes.

They are, essentially, just numbers on unixes and don’t really have as much standardization as e.g. HTTP codes afaik. Various programs may have their own local conventions as to what an exit code means.
