A computer science enthusiast.
Yesterday, I made a choice that was very tough for me to make. So three years ago, I had a best friend, and we both liked each other. Things got hard because my feelings went too far, I became emotionally unstable and turned into an attention seeker. So because of that, I then ended the friendship.
Recently, she added me back. I thought we could be friends again because I felt like I improved my mental state in the last two years and won’t turn into an attention seeker again. Well, a week later, I was the same as I was three years ago.
It was ruining my mental health severely. I couldn’t focus on anything. But I still wasn’t ready to give up on the friendship because she was a very nice friend, and I still liked her for some reason. So I refused to give up. But things got worse real quick, and then I decided to write a long message to her explaining why I can’t continue this friendship and then I blocked her everywhere.
At the cost of ending all probabilities of a future with her, I feel much better now.
Gotta do something about this attention-seeking thing, though.

Some of the “duplicate” questions that I have seen on Stack Overflow are phrased entirely different than the supposedly “original” one. It’s like they expect me to brute-force their entire fucking search index before publishing a new question. I don’t have that much patience or time.
Thanks for note. Do they currently have that backend?
That aside, you might want to try Nim. It’s pretty cool. It can compile to C and C++, and JS. There have been browser extensions made with it. Heck, it even has an LLVM backend. And the C code it generates it pretty fast on benchmarks. It’s filled with tons of metaprogramming stuff and AST-level macros. And it has this cool thing where it can ignore name casing of identifiers like variables and functions; so isSome
== is_some
.
I will try porting this project to Haskell and Coconut later. I am currently doing a rewrite of this in Nim.
They said competition, not alternatives. As things are right now, and knowing people, not just trying to make a technical point, Firefox is the only competition.
Oh yeah, I had given that a try, but the installation was too huge. It took like 2 GB. The dependecies were huge as well. But maybe it’d be less on Ubuntu. I will give it a shot again. I heard that language doesn’t have loops; I guess you’ve got to be good with recursion to get good at it lol.
Or maybe people rely on map
like function of Python.
Hi, I spent some time trying out the dictd
package. I also read this protocol’s specification. As things are right now, each host-name would require its own parser, because I couldn’t notice a very similar pattern between them. Webster, Jargon, wn, all these have their own standardization for including synonyms and examples.
The specification doesn’t enforce any pattern on the definitions either. I don’t think it’s going to be very useful even if I do implement it because the parsers are going to be quite complicated.
Ah that. That shouldn’t be a lot of work as all the visual stuff are done by separate functions. I can do it. I will look into it.
My OOP experience isn’t from Java, but I get your point. I don’t really have a dislike for OO; it sure does have its applications. I once met a dude who was trying to use an object oriented library in a functional way; the result of that was a mess full of complications. I feel a good balance is necessary.
You mean, like, support for the dict protocol for this program’s interface? I am also scraping a dictionary’s data, so I am a little confused.
not a fan of that font, but cool setup
I agree fully. I basically never download music anymore, because I can get all the music I can think of on Spotify for a few bucks a month.
I recently started music pirating because I listen to a lot of genres and I want to shuffle them. If I use Spotify, I am limited to their shitty shuffler, but if I download my music offline, I can shuffle however I want. My favorite algorithm to shuffle my huge bunch of music is to shuffle them by genre. Now I get to listen to interesting music with full control over the algorithm used.
Also, there are frequent power cuts in my area, so an offline library always proves useful. I also visit places where internet connections are not available.
idk why but my dick hurts whenever i look at this one
Syncthing and Spotdl. Syncthing can sync folders over a network. Spotdl can download content from a playlist; it is multi-threaded and skips already existing or duplicate songs. It took me 20 minutes to automate everything. Syncthing and Spotdl start on startup and do their thing every 10 minutes.
Which instance? We should maintain a list of these instances to ensure we don’t lose our data due to idiots like them.
