"Not invented here." Refers to the tendency to avoid using things from outside one's company/organization.

I think you may be looking at the wrong column. Hello World runs in 0.020s, per the benchmarks.

You can certainly argue that, but that's not what Open Source or Free Software has ever been. It's about your freedoms as a user, you are always free to fork with a different model. I think the expectation of "open contributions" is quite damaging, to the point where peple/organizations are hesitant to release their software as open source at all.

2/4 had massive growth in the 50s/60s/70s (KL and Singapore). I'll give you Montevideo and San Juan, but let's not pretend it's just timing that made Houston the way it is. It's a matter of choices that were made, to prioritize car infrastructure over all else.

Swift and C# appear to have this feature, though they use the syntax

  fetch(accountId, history: true, details: false);

It's worth watching, but tl;dw he used an LLM to pick words with similar meaning that make the lines the same length.

Interestingly, per another article I read on HN a couple weeks ago, it may not be due to the gulf stream: https://www.americanscientist.org/article/the-source-of-euro...

And of course, in a beautiful show of irony, it comes in clamshell packaging!

The irony here is not lost on me, but it's Cunningham's Law (apocryphally named after Ward Cunningham, the creator of the first wiki software).

I'd be interested to know what their median donation is, assuming $21 is the mean (which it seems to be). I wonder to what extent that number is inflated by a few big donors (it might not be, I'm just curious).

I'm not aware of any bootloaders that support encrypted /boot with LUKS2 aside from GRUB. GRUB itself didn't support LUKS2 until 2021, I believe; I imagine there are many people using versions older than that.

I haven't written more than a few pet projects in Haskell, but in my experience haskell-language-server is quite fantastic. I agree though that cargo has been a better experience for me, and while the documentation for Haskell is better than I would have expected, it certainly doesn't match up to rust.

This reminds me of the Tarmak transitional layouts for learning Colemak. Tarmak has four intermediary layouts between QWERTY and Colemak, each changing a few (3-4) keys at a time. Tarmak #1 gets the N and E keys in the home row, for instance.

I ended up going cold turkey Colemak, but for those who are interested in learning a new layout Tarmak seems like an interesting way to make gradual progress without totally decimating your typing speed. Plus, it leads into a well-established layout instead of resulting in a bespoke layout you have to work on yourself.

Basic with ads is $6.99. Basic is $9.99.

I mean, between consecutive standard releases not as much changes; it's pretty clear that they're the same language with some slight differences/new features. I think the point is C++ has had so much change over the years it almost seems unrecognizable compared to its earlier forms.

Almost makes me think of the ship of Theseus. How do we define the point that it's so different it could be considered a different language? Backwards compatibility strikes me as a factor, but backwards compatibility is violated by languages all the time and it's still considered "the same language."

1024*1024 16TB HDDs, or 1,048,576.

I don't see the original comment saying anything's wrong with it. It's an older way of doing things, sure, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I actually quite like the way it's done.

It is absolutely normalized

® is the symbol for "registered trademark" though?

I disabled mine on Firefox, didn't see any changes. Switched to Chromium (where I don't have an adblocker) and the number of ads was egregious. I count 8 full-width ads interrupting the text at regular intervals, along with one on the bottom that follows as I scroll.

Classic Blunders:

1. Never get involved in a land war in Asia

2. Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line

3. Never communicate through the filesystem

and, yunno, a Flatpak

What's wrong with Flatpak? I've had fewer problems with flatpak than with AppImage personally.

The Model T was released over a decade prior to the point mentioned in the article. Sure cars weren't the staple of American life they are today, but they were definitely accessible to the well-off people of the time.

The arch linux wiki has a good list: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Window_manager#Stacking_win.... Haven't looked into how many of them are maintained.

Greenland may have been inhabited for 5000 years, but that does not mean they share a genetic heritage back that long.

The Thule people, from whom modern indigenous Greenlanders descend, originated around 1000 CE in Alaska.

Per https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:NewMirrors a full mirror of the arch repos would be over 50 GiB. AUR would be impossible to tell, as you have to grab sources and build it yourself. I'd imagine fairly massive though.

I can only really speak for arch as that's what I'm familiar with, but I'd imagine the mirrors would not be happy about all the wasted bandwidth. The whole idea sort of seems unnecessary to me.

Awk (as gawk) and iproute2 are part of a base arch install. There's no need to install them separately.

I use Colemak and vim. I learned Colemak before I got comfortable in vim, so I also spent some time trying to figure out what is best to do.

I recommend just leaving hjkl in their default positions, no rebinding. That's what I ended up on and I don't regret it. They aren't in too awkward a position (all accessible by your right index finger). The default bindings are meant to be easily memorable, and you can use them anywhere you can find vim, even if you don't have your custom config.

Well, for someone interested in languages conlanging can just be fun! I don't think most people are under the impression that their language will be popular.

It also serves as an interesting "what-if," i.e. what would a language look like if it were designed from the ground up to be as logical as possible. No idea if this is interesting to the average person, but it is to me.

However (and I'm not saying this is or will be the case with Ithkuil) there are several constructed languages that do indeed have sizeable communities (the internet has made this easier): esperanto, toki pona, lojban, even klingon has multiple speakers.
