For testing new speakers, this song: http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/Robbero/59698

I’ll let the hivemind know that we’re supposed to have only one opinion.

On a definitely related note, I’ve recently been thinking it’s wild how we build foot paths out of rocks and then put on rubber socks for actually walking on them.

In other words, asphalt is a scam by Big Foot to sell more shoes.

I imagine, they can still get inflamed gums or similar, if something gets stuck in there…

I believe, you have to take turns pushing down individual teeth. By random chance, it will close the mouth when you do that. So, you lose when you get bitten.

I’m always amazed how badly companies understand the concept of human interaction. Showing appreciation requires putting in some amount of effort. If you just type some words into a box and an image comes out, that’s not anything. Might as well use the first clipart that comes up in image search…

I believe, you can basically turn it off in Firefox, by telling it to open new windows instead of tabs.

Might need to hide the tab bar via userChrome.css, though…

Maybe something like this?

The devs have access to the source code. Why would they put something like this two layers deep into the documentation? It’s like those people that think Mozilla is evil, because Mozilla openly talks about what they’re doing. If they wanted to be evil, you would know jackshit about it.

I mean, for what it’s worth, I’m a seasoned dev and just did a run where I tried to answer everything as it makes sense to me (which is “throws an error” or “invalid date” for all of them) and I also got a score of 4/28.

…and two of those points were given to me, because the quiz interpreted my answer differently than I meant it.

In other words, this quiz exists to highlight that JavaScript’s Date functions make no sense.

My interpretation is that they’re bad at smalltalk and will forget basic facts about themselves. It would fit in with them needing a list of smalltalk topics to choose/avoid…

I feel like it’s just capitalism doing a capitalism. People are self-conscious about their skin, so you can sell them all kinds of crap.
Even a basic washcloth does a decent job with exfoliating, if you use it regularly. Rub your face dry with a scruffy towel, if you need more than that.

But of course, there’s hardly any money to be made with reasonably priced products, so you won’t see TV ads for them.

Somehow, it feels like the fields are larger on average, even though this is clearly not the case…

Should be noted that Ctrl+[Shift+]Tab behaves as you describe by default, but there’s a checkbox in the settings to make it go through tabs left-to-right, so it’s possible OP changed that behaviour…

GUI libraries are unfortunately really not standardized at all. For low-level languages, you may want to consider alternatives, like a CLI or just a config file.

One interesting option is also TUIs. Many of them are based on the ncurses library, which is by itself fairly simple, but you can find layouting libraries on top of it.
For Rust, there’s a pretty cool higher-level library: https://ratatui.rs/

To be honest, these choices are hardly more standardized than GUI libraries (well, except for config files maybe, where you’ve got TOML, YAML etc.), but they are much simpler, so more libraries will offer a complete package.

Well, the thing is, if you’ve got a whole bunch of biodiversity and you cut down a small patch in the middle of it, where you grow your monoculture and use your big machines and whatnot, that’s when this fuck-biodiversity approach is rather profitable.

But if you scale that up, if a whole bunch of farmers kill biodiversity in the same region, this will obliterate profitability. You need biodiversity for:

• pollination
• enriching the soil (we have no industrial process for creating humus; it’s mostly just earthworms doing their thing)
• pest control (birds and whatnot can eat your pests, if they settle nearby; they won’t settle nearby, if there’s no food for half the year because you’ve killed everything else)
• resilience against pests and climate variations (if your harvest consists out of multiple different plants, then some of them failing from pests or droughts etc. is much less of a problem)

I’m probably forgetting more aspects, and we probably don’t yet know all aspects either. But ultimately, plants have evolved to exist in rich biodiversity. It isn’t just some moral thing to do, to keep that intact. Plants will falter without biodiversity, no matter how much fertilizer and pesticide you pour onto them.

A few years ago, all the languages I would use started to have automatic unused variable warnings built-in. And yeah, by now when I hear of people that don’t have that, it’s very much a feeling of “Man, you live like this?”.

Yeah, Lemmy is actually a decent software for this use-case…

I am not sure, but in Nix I declare the desired state of installed packages and configurations in an obscure language and the package manger takes care of that, right?

The package manager is only one (very important) component of the system that applies your configuration, but otherwise this is a good description, yeah.

Now the module declare reasonable default configurations? Like http server starts on system start and serves on port 80?

Obviously, it depends on each individual module, but so far, I’ve mostly been fine with the defaults. Typically, it doesn’t modify the configuration, unless you explicitly specify a configuration value, therefore using the defaults that the software normally uses.

Now you lost me at the Home-Manger. I can declare stuff in my home folder. OK, so for user-wide configuration? For packages and configuration in the user space? Or what?

It’s for user-wide configuration, so what would generally be stored in dotfiles. For example, you can configure the search engines in Firefox. Or the panel layout in KDE.

Home-Manager can also install packages, which is useful, because it can also be used standalone on other distributions. And in particular, you usually want to declare that a package should be installed and what user configuration it should use, all in one place…

In German, we also call the Netherlands “the low countries” (“die Niederlande”). 🙃
