Sure, do recommend - I’d need a basic overview, but not too deep, as I don’t have enough motivation for in-depth review of all socialist governments in the last two centuries.

To be honest, I know little about Mao and beginnings of PRC - I’m quite ignorant about how much of an “absolute leader” he was.

But I do believe that idolizing a person and concentration of power are dangerous to democracy.

And it’s interesting how much responses I got on this topic.

I would say that Hungary is currently quite authoritarian. And Serbia too. Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy were too, very much so.

Any language feature with such a long definition is a bad language feature.

The less such features, the better the language.

Thus, javascript is not a “good” language for expressing your programs.

Socialism dies as soon as a single person becomes its absolute leader. From there, it is just a walk toward authoritarism.

Dronies? Is this an evolution of takies? A subspicies?

Have you erased the continuation of the message that is saying something about “similar names, but are actually two distinct types”?

It is a common error if you have two dependecies that export the same third dependency and your code makes an assumption that the versions of the third dep match.

All other languages either straight-up don’t support multiple versions of the same dep, or throw random errors at runtime. So this message is a consequence of rust supporting things that other langs only dream of.

sus of them to drop the slogan “don’t be evil”

Apparently, PHP has a low threshold for making something an “official” api

Gender PHP extension is a port of the gender.c program … The main purpose is to find out the gender of firstnames.

As of why, you don’t need a why in open source. Some people treat gender as a function of their firstname, apparently, and need that information somewhere - maybe for localization, maybe for personalization, maybe for form-filling auto-suggestion purposes.

ELI5?

It could be run after git checkout and then rustfmt before commit.

If I have a complex regular expression to code into my app, I write it in pomsky, then copy paste the compiled regex to my source file, but also keep the pomsky source nearby. Much more maintainable.

Because not all parts of the repo have this status. Some are stable, well tested and critical.

No it is not. It depends on the codebase - if it is something relatively new, a proof of concept or something that is bound to change soon, there is no point in slowing the development down just because it is “too large to digest”.

Ah, yes, the reflog incantation. It is said that it can be performed only by those who have rebased on an hard reset origin.

Yeah, switching from reddit to lemmy gives a “old internet” wibe: actual people, most of them technically inclined. But with more adoption, these people get diluted by all other kinds of folks.

Same happened with cypto scene. It started with cythography entusiasts, but now it is mostly tech bros.

I mean, updating the rules would help - clarifying that feeding data to any model / doing analysis on it requires copyright - but I doubt that it would stop companies from doing it. Because it is hard to prove in court that your work has been stolen.

But there is no real way of enforcing the rules. How would be combat piracy? If you make BitTorrent protocol illegal, people will just that using HTTP or anything else to share copyright-ed material.

Interesting, but probably not general and scalable way of fighting this problem. This practice is would be hard to implement for other types of content.

I think that copyright law is inherently unfit for internet. In its core, it is a legal restriction on re-publishing content which cannot be enforced on the internet. It does not prevent piracy or AI companies from collecting data. So I’d say that we should do away with copyright law altogether. This would, of course, remove a lot of incentive for producing content, but I think people would still produce content, even if they are not paid to do it, as long as their basic needs are satisfied. So if we, as a human race, progress to UBI, we can also solve copyright problem.

But if we get stuck in capitalistic age, I guess we have to pretend that information can be owned and legally restricted from redistribution.

Lol. Tech support soon: “Have you tried turning your computer sideways and back again?”
