All languages evolve, and in the age or globalisation also becoming more homogenised. I don’t think there will ever be one global language as people like their local dialects and are influenced by local culture, but i wouldn’t be surprised if in a handful of hundred years I could read a bit of French.

It’s windows. And we don’t see the rest of the command (that would include the path) it’s likely it included the flag to remove files, as it was actually trying to remove a whole project.

Ed and sed don’t load the entire file in, but vim does. Not heard of TECO before 😄

Are you regularly opening up 12 gig log files in a text editor? Personally I’d use something like elasticsearch or less/grep for a local file.

What? You might want to proof read that. The only thing I got from your text is that text editors load an entire file into memory, which has been the case for decades unless you go with a special purpose editor.

I agree with all of what your saying, but how is having a podcast not free? All you need is a way to record audio and somewhere to host it. Basically everyone has a phone, and YouTube and other places are readily available. You don’t need a shure microphone to spread your ideas.

Other than that, I fully agree, this is a very odd post by OP.

I hope you’re not raw dogging torrenting Linux ISOs with some form of protection.

That’s good to know! Glad not everyone is having issues with Wayland :)

It’s a shell that allows you to easily run different terminals applications and environments in tabs. With some nice cosmetic options to boot.

The last thing I was excited for was their new terminal announcement https://youtu.be/8gw0rXPMMPE. Something I wish actually ran on Linux 😅

What are you talking about? They weren’t talking about the large majority, they’re explicitly talking about the minority who needs accessibility tools to use a computer. I personally don’t know what these deficiencies are, but i can imagine with Wayland’s strong security focus, screen readers would be busted.

Is it the Multipeer Connectivity you’re talking about? I’ve never heard of it before. It does seem like something that could be used to track users.

i and I are acceptable in small loops. But it depends a lot on the language used. If you’re in C or bash maybe it’s fine. But if you’re in a higher level language like C# you usually have built on functions for iterating over something.

For example you have a list of movies you want to get the rating from, instead of doing

for (i = 0; i < movies.length; i++)
    var movie = movies[i]
    ....

Its often more readable to do

movies.forEach { movie -> 
    var rating = movie.rating
    ....
}

Also if you work with tables it can be very helpful to name your iteration variables as row and column.

It’s all about making it readable, understandable, and correct. There’s no point having comments if you forget to update them when you change the code. And you better make sure the AI comments on the 2000 lines of three letter variables is correct!

Their stance on default privacy and sticking a finger to law enforcement is leagues above both Microsoft and Google/Android. So far at least.

Yeah that looks cool. I will give it a closer look tomorrow :)

Cool, I’ll check this out. Always a bit of a ball ache when I need to access the server while lying in and too lazy to get up. Using vim on a phone is always an adventure in patience.

That doesn’t sound like a TOTP vs passkey situation though. It sounds like the program just releases the passkey when you give it the fingerprint. There wouldn’t be anything stopping the program from generating a OTP and passing that along when you identify with the fingerprint.

I think a big issue is how difficult it can seem to be to get easy access to TOTP codes, like in your example digging up your phone. But that’s more of a browser/operating system failure for not implementing a way to generate those codes like they can already store usernames and passwords.

TIL you were two different people! 😄 don’t I look silly now

Hey, I know you! I really like your posts! I don’t comment very often in them (though I should, because you play some banger games), but they always make me smile.

Yeah Moq is what I used when I worked with .NET.

On an unrelated note; god I miss .NET so much. Fuck Microsoft and all that, but man C# and .NET feels so good for enterprise stuff compared to everything else I’ve worked with.
