  • Announcing Rust 1.81.0

    Jump

  • It's a subtle difference between that and path::exists().

    • path::exists() == false might just mean you can't use it (if path::exists() cannot access a file due to e.g. permissions, it'll return false)
    • fs::exists() == Ok(false) means it's definitely not there (permissions error will cause an Err to be returned)

  • Wafflegame

    Jump

  • This has been in my daily set for a while now, definitely worth your time. It also has a larger weekly version, along with archives of both types going back years.

  • Tightrope - Saturday, September 7, 2024

    Jump

  • I'm on Android (using Firefox), so I was thinking it might be different on a system without apps, but it seems you're on mobile too. How strange.

  • Tightrope - Saturday, September 7, 2024

    Jump

  • 1820, but I don't see where you can export the breakdown.

  • Linux Directory Structure - FHS

    Jump

  • Bad wording on my part, I wasn't disagreeing. My file server has a /files directory because it saves me a few key strokes and because I can.

  • Linux Directory Structure - FHS

    Jump

  • Is Gobo case-insensitive by default? Typing those seems annoying.

  • Linux Directory Structure - FHS

  • That's an old image, though - Windows has a C:\Users\youruser setup like /home/youruser for a while now.

    I find the %APPDATA% thing way less convenient than ~/.config and I'm quite happy when programs have the "bug" that they still use ~/.config on Windows.

  • Rust on RP2350

    Jump

  • Hang on, this is (or was at the time) the major of St Ives? That's weird.

  • School bus driver, believed to be ‘highly intoxicated’ at a bar, arrested on Iron Range route the next morning

    Jump

  • blood alcohol content of 0.16% — above the legal limit to drive

    I had to look it up, but that's twice the limit.

  • Blood Meal

    Jump

  • what fucked up tumblr subculture has my shitpost reached

    I've never been on tumblr and just assumed the whole site was like that.

  • After seeing Wi-Fi network named “STINKY,” Navy found hidden Starlink dish on US warship

    Jump

  • The source story is worth a read.

    Marrero’s background is in Navy intelligence, and she earned a master’s degree in business administration with a concentration in information security and digital management

    Incredible.

    she soon changed the “STINKY” Wi-Fi network name to another moniker that looked like a wireless printer — even though no such general-use wireless printers were present on the ship

    Why not just switch off broadcasting the SSID?

    [The CO and XO] then conducted another sweep inside the ship. Although the network that appeared to be a wireless printer appeared on their personal devices during their search, neither made additional inquiries regarding that network

    No-one's coming out of this looking good.

    Marrero’s secret Starlink dish was removed the same day, and Marrero told another unidentified crew member the next day that it was authorized for in-port use — prompting sailors to re-install the illegal Starlink.

    It just keeps going!

  • Lord of the Flies series adaptation coming from BBC – with a Hans Zimmer score

    Jump

  • I wonder if he'll do a more traditional score for this. Many of his recent projects have been more like soundscapes. The Dune soundtracks are incredible, and very cleverly constructed, but I don't know if they'd suit a BBC Lord of the Flies.

  • by Adam Hillman

    Jump

  • I guess it is, otherwise perhaps you could call it a collage... a found object collage?

  • Introducing SUSE Typeface: SUSE’s new open sourced font

    Jump

  • I like that idea of using the different fonts for e.g. Copilot suggestions - reminds me of reading Asterix comics as a kid when they'd use gothic black for the Goth's speech, etc.

    edit: e.g.

  • Proximity #95

    Jump

  • Proximity #95✅ 149 Guesses💡 0 Hints

    Relieved to finally get it. I think I hate this game!

  • Does anybody know an open source self hosted application to create diagrams? Like draw.io or something like that

    Jump

  • There's kroki as well, which includes Mermaid, Excalidraw, GraphViz, PlantUML, etc.

  • Who is the fastest? Node.js, Bun.js, or Deno.js

    Jump

  • The results are so close it seems like they'd be within the error bars.

  • What second generation console do you like the most? (Atari 2600, Intellivision, Colecovision, etc.)

    Jump

  • For me it's the Intellivision with its controllers that were attached with phone cords and those plastic inserts that would customise the controller for each game.

    I think we only had one game, Triple Action (although only the tanks and biplanes were worth playing).

    My parents' house still has more vintage tech than most computer museums.
