  • Sadly, the developers of these apps can't even be bothered to not dump random folders into $HOME. 🤷

  • Enshittification of Arduino Begins? Qualcomm Starts Clamping Down

  • Is the link correct?

    The website tries selling something, but I can't decipher what exactly. Certainly does not seem ESP32- or Arduino-related.

  • Firefox 147 Will Support The XDG Base Directory Specification

    Jump

  • I tried it and moved the directory. Results:

    • Firefox opens, settings from the profile are still there.
    • Empty ./mozilla/extensions directories are recreated on startup.
    • Firefox cannot show any websites anymore.

    Yikes.

  • Always good to know that after sitting on it for 2 decades, shipping some half-assed shit was the best they could do.

  • Yikes, thanks! Good to know.

  • Considering how they fuck up everything they touch, is this more of a sabotage?

  • swww renamed to awww, due to the author's guilt from obliviously naming it "final solution"

  • Good decision. Sounds like a decent human being!

  • Might be useful to some, but the underlying assumption that "more features = better" is questionable in general.

  • The Framework/Omarchy thing.

    Jump

  • Just take the L and go away.

  • The Hidden Cost of URL Design

    Jump

  • What an absolute bunch of nonsense.

    If that's were your performance problems come from, you are either a junior developer yourself or using some PHP-quality framework written by juniors.

  • I am sorry, but everyone is getting syntax highlighting wrong

    Jump

  • I can see the point that too many program elements get too much color, but:

    Suggesting to not color keywords and use a single color for the names of top-level elements at the same time simply doesn't mesh well.

    I'm coloring keywords exactly because I do not want to invent a new color for each individual top-level element name or require backtracking from the (in his proposal) highlighted name to the (in his proposal) non-highlighted keyword preceding it.

    Looking at the code example here I'd be open to have less things highlighted, but where to start? I guess parameter names, but apart from that?

  • What are you working on?

    Jump

  • I'm working on Core whose primary design goal is to not invent any new features, but implement existing things correctly.

    The grammar is implemented with recursive-descent, one could define an equivalent EBNF, but I haven't found the need to do so yet.

  • What are you working on?

    Jump

  • Working on my programming language, and improving some blog posts of mine. :-)

  • losing language features: some stories about disjoint unions

    Jump

  • It's interesting to me, because I wrote an article giving an overview of the possible combinations mentioned in his blog post a few years ago.

  • Big Decimals: Stop Using Floats or Cents for Money

    Jump

  • Yeah, but compared to counting money, nobody cares if some physics paper got its numbers wrong. :-)

    (Not to mention that would require the paper to have reproducible artifacts first.)

  • Left to Right Programming

    Jump

  • This is one of the rules I religiously follow in the design of my language.

    It's one of the reasons

    • why I removed unary operators like ! and ~ and made -foo.bar parse as (-foo).bar;
    • why the order of elements in a type or function definition is the way it is; and
    • why I use an OOP-style value.member design instead of piping syntax like |>.

  • Kinda nice that they are adding Algol68 unions to C#!
