Its supposedly open source??

NPM users: “…and?”

Headline makes her sound petty, when she’s actually the most important anti-monopoly figure of the past 40 years

People have thought for thousands of years that they were living in the time of a great final battle against eternal tyranny — and that they were destined to fail.

There’s a strange comfort in being certain of doom. It makes the world simple and understandable. Predictable, and therefore less jarring. Doom is invulnerable to good news — in fact, good news is always bad news in the framework of doom, because it means delaying the inevitable and inviting false hope.

But the real story of the last several thousand years is that the world is complex. People are more complex than we could’ve understood even a hundred years ago. And the universe may be even stranger than we possibly can imagine.

I’m not telling you to be certain of a positive outcome. I’m just telling you to let go of certainty.

Needs an integrated battery and USB-C alt mode for display so you can use a keyboard + AR glasses and nothing else

I assume this means they’re trying to clear out the LCD stock and be OLED-only soon?

I’d settle for just requiring interoperability. Seems like a reasonable requirement for a government to demand the ability to change vendors.

We have that requirement when it comes to munitions. You’re not allowed to sell the military a gun for which you are the only ammo manufacturer.

A side effect would probably be that more commercial software would be interoperable as a result, just because it’s easier for the vendors to maintain a single product rather than wildly different variants.

I’ve gone back to Hand of Fate 2 for like… the 15th time. Just such a cool concept. In a world full of card-based roguelikes, I’ve still never seen anything else quite like it.

Your deck isn’t just the equipment and buffs you might gain. It’s also the threats you might face, and the clues that might lead to new quests.

You’re playing against the deck, in many ways. Such a simple inversion, but it opens up the door to so many interesting modifiers.

Not fired though, like the MSNBC host that said hateful words lead to hateful actions.

Free speech is when you’re allowed to openly coordinate the extermination of people you don’t like but then when someone says that’s bad they get deported or fired

Not exactly an answer, but I’ll take the opportunity to point out that Bun has a shell feature which makes it easy to mix and match JS and Bash in the same script, and it provides a compatibility layer for Windows users so that you don’t have to worry about platform differences in shell capabilities. https://bun.sh/guides/runtime/shell

Except Python’s growth is from data science, not web dev (the subject of OP’s post, and the context in which JS is “dominating”)

I loved my Eee PC so much.

I’ve been watching and hoping for a modern ARM equivalent, but haven’t seen anything quite right so far.

Okay, question to people on Lemmy: What’s the right community for asking questions about Lemmy?

That’s the 4D chess move of admitting to terrible stuff from decades ago. “So obviously if we’re telling you about it, we’ve stopped doing that.”

Shit is a crucial part of the food web. Please don’t insult shit by comparing it to this fascist.

And drains our freshwater reserves in order to do it.

The dumbest timeline.

Low Level Learning had a good video about this: https://youtu.be/VtHlMTc8lR4

Lots of folks in the US don’t really have an understanding of religion as a separate thing from nationality.

They think of “being Christian” as “being like the other white people in my neighborhood growing up”. End of thought.

So drinking beer, watching football, and hating taxes are all “Christian things” to them.

So when they say “Christians — and only Christians — died for this country”, they’re 100% correct, according to their understanding of “being a Christian”. Cuz to them it basically just means “being an American”.

There’s really no way to convince them otherwise. It’s like telling someone that Velcro is really called “hook and loop”.
