Programmer by day, burnt out by night.
Looking it up, there’s a discussion on Framework’s Discourse, but nothing shipping yet.
The best hope at the moment is to buy and connect an LTE M.2 key card that connects over USB-A, which would work on any laptop, come to think of it.
Hold up, there are third-party SIM card expansions‽
I don’t have a Framework laptop (yet) but once I’ve got the money together I really want one!
Mainly memory safety; split (which is also used for other programs like sort) had a memory heap overflow issue last year to name one.
The GNU Coreutils are well tested and very well written, the entire suite of programs has a CVE only once every few years from what I can see, but they do exist and most of those would be solved with a memory and type safe language.
That said, Rust also handles parallelism and concurrency much better than C ever could, though most of these programs don’t really benefit from that or not much since they already handled this quite well, especially for C programs.
my country they literally helped elect one
Huh? Source? What country?
John Oliver’s show is doing amazing things, including the Drumpfinator addon.
What is that URL, though? I’m guessing I’m know it if I (happily) watch the episode?
Noto Sans for sans-serif text (and the OS)
It’s legible, standard-looking and support about every writing system in the world.
You can install it on Debian using # apt install fonts-noto, some others like -cjk and -extra help with the “supports about every writing system in the world”-aspect.
Merriweather for the serif font fallback for the browser, as well as TTRPG campaign printouts
It’s very legible, and looks quite sexy for a serif font.
There’s no package for it currently (although AUR and Nix users might have better luck), it has to be downloaded from Google Fonts
JetBrains Mono for the terminal TUI’s
It looks a bit playful, like lego-letters, is legible and supports about every writing system in the world.
# apt install fonts-jetbrains-mono.
Although I use…
Verdana for source code
It differentiates every character well and leaves enough space to easily recognise special characters such as brackets.
And I don’t believe monospace fonts are more legible.
It’s included in ttf-mscorefonts-installer but the font is not open-source.
I would if I could!
I will say, there’s something scary about crafting your own medicine, I’d expect medicine to be highly precisely crafted in labs by highly educated professionals and that it’d be difficult and perhaps dangerous to make and take your own medicine. I could be wrong.
The things they write in the article are amazing, people can make their own life savine cure to hepatitis C for about 70 USD for their whole home made treatment, that just works? It seems too good to be true without any caveats.
Oh and, final thought, “Four Thieves Collective”? They really don’t beat around the bush. I like that
I mean, it’s a functional programming language and an incredibly good one. But it probably has a far too big footprint for their use-case…
Why aren’t python and bash be available in all your systems? Which languages would be?
I would’ve recommended python, otherwise perl or Haskell (maybe Haskell’s too big) or something, but now I’m worried that whatever reason makes python undoable also makes perl etc. undoable
Spreading Linux misinformation is saying things about Linux that aren’t true.
Examples:
These can be jokes or trolling like “You can save space by removing the system’s pre-installed French language pack by running sudo rm -fr /” (disclaimer don’t do this!)
Or misconceptions, such as “You probably don’t have a virus even if you suspect it, due to Linux’s nature viruses aren’t possible” (you absolutely can)
Linux can’t prevent you from permanently removing files.
Some see this as a feature.
I mean really, fuck Microsoft and Windows!
