You find a library / module / package / whatever-the-name-is-this-week on the Internet. You paste it into your code. Your code now works. Your code is now 1MB larger. This web app is heavy, man.

npm install left-pad :D

Don’t quite understand the JavaScript one.

[email protected] isn’t there also Drip as an open source option?

This trailer doesn’t really have the same vibe as the original. Some funny bits though. Maybe it will be good?

Definitely an overreaction lol.

But why are you not sold on Gemini? I mean, does it even need selling? Does Gopher need a selling point? They’re both deliberately simple protocols that work basically only on text. Gemini itself was conceived as an alternative to the modern web, deliberately simple in most ways, but not as simple as Gopher.

Primer. It’s a movie about time travel, and it’s absolutely amazingly done. But it’s also mind-bending and not that exciting.

One of those things where he probably didn’t expect to actually get power. And then once he has power, he gets mad when he can’t do illegal things.

Icelandic has no word for “a.” A noun without a definite article suffix can be either “noun” or “a noun.” Then there is a suffix for definite article (epli “apple” -> eplið “the apple”). There is also a slightly more obscure hinn/hin/hið which can mean “the” as a separate word, but that’s not really used in most situations.

The vitriol between Republicans and Democrats in the US has always been there, and I think it started escalating rapidly after Nixon. Even with George Bush Jr in the early 2000s, which had its own set of big problems, it was still “civilized,” although people look back at that time and think it was insane (because it was). But the rhetoric has only accelerated even more, and the Trump administrations are the natural end result of this ever-increasing polarization, unfortunately.

I feel like “reasonable” Republican positions died with out after Reagan. Even though most people in this space will never say Regan’s positions were reasonable (much less good or defensible), there was still a veneer of civility and respect for what little democratic function America had at the time.

At this point, all of that has been thrown out the window. Even Pence, for how evil of a person he is, still refused to destroy the process, at least.

[email protected] It is certified to be UNIX, yes. But Linux is not UNIX. Not that it would matter if Linux was certified to be UNIX anyhow. UNIX is a certification that you go through and pay for. The kernel beneath is not necessarily binary compatible with other UNIX operating systems.

It’s an interesting idea. Could be a way to catch interest and education.

I am using Futo Keyboard. Downloaded it when it was marketed as open source. Unfortunately found out a few days ago it isn’t actually open source. It’s still a damn good keyboard, but it’s still unfortunate. AGPL exists for a reason. Oh well.

Tried one of the universal blue images on a Chromebook. It was nice. But it didn’t contain the scripts/configs to make the audio work. So that was that!

I like the concept, though.

@[email protected] it should be noted that they’re shutting down the open source project. However, a fork is apparently forming. But it’s good to know.
