fredros··on It's time for you to install Windows Terminal
I keep reading this. However I rarely, if ever, see someone using posh for interactive usage on a daily basis. In fact I know more wsl users.
fredros··on System76 Reportedly Developing Their Own Rust-Written Desktop
> But Rust is not just good for preventing memory bugs: strong typing prevents lots of logic bugs as well.

Arc<> does exist though, and is used quite extensively in the rust ecosystem.

AGPL v3 is proper open source.
fredros··on Quran API
Thanks for taking the time to explain the rationale. I guess there are always subjective motives when moderating.
fredros··on Quran API
I often see anti-Christian rants here. I suggest you become more supportive of free speech.

By the way I’m just paraphrasing a problematic verse. Go and check yourself. Is it ok to link to hateful content?

Your rules though, noted.

fredros··on Norm Macdonald has died
As a French man, I discovered him a couple of weeks ago and binge watched his material on YouTube.

One of the bests.

fredros··on Apple Bans the Quran in China
Selling the Bible online was already prohibited: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/05/world/asia/china-bans-bib...
fredros··on Why don’t the French celebrate Lafayette?
At French school we a were taught wrong takes when it comes to history (less so, of course)

It’s mainly the history from a « républicain » point of view. Also served with a blatant pro European federalism take.

Nothing wrong per se, but we should have a critical view on what we were fed with.

fredros··on mRNA cancer therapy now in human trials after shrinking mouse tumours
Should we then force people to eat less with a « eat pass »?

Obesity is even more wasteful of hospital resources.

fredros··on Latin Literature’s Problem with Invisibility
I never dismissed him, I’m Christian. However historians tend to be a bit more cautious with the different Christian sources.
fredros··on Israel’s Covid-19 boosters are preventing infections, new studies suggest
We should not consider the US to be a good sample, given the sky-high obesity rates.
fredros··on Latin Literature’s Problem with Invisibility
Historical Jesus is just a few sentences by Flavius Joseph, a couple of references in the Talmud of Jerusalem. All the other sources are Christian.

So we lack sources to say if he was considered a magician or not to be honest.

fredros··on Reducing sugar in packaged foods can prevent disease in millions
It has this effect only on roughly a quarter of the population though.
fredros··on NYC to mandate proof of vaccination for many indoor settings
But you have the right to invite people into buildings you own, right ?
fredros··on The Amazon Rainforest Is Fast Approaching a Point of No Return in Brazil
In France the forest covers a bigger part of the territory than before the industrial revolution. I think it’s the case in several western countries.

Who shall I believe?

fredros··on Armed Afghan women take to streets in show of defiance against Taliban
> I’ll immediately point out that literally every religion when taken verbatim is incompatible with our constitution. That’s why we have separation of church and state

“Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's”

“My kingdom is not of this world”

These quotes from Jesus, along with the pages of Paul arguing for faith over religious law have created this separation between church and state.

It is believed by Christians all over the world that the religious laws died with Jesus on the cross.

In this regard, not all religions are created equal. Islam is an orthopraxy as the Koran, supposedly the world of god, directly dictates laws.

fredros··on Copilot regurgitating Quake code, including sweary comments
Of course for databases you should use a decimal.
fredros··on GitHub Copilot as open source code laundering?
Storing money as float is always a bad decision. Source: been working for several banks and faced many of such bugs.
fredros··on Servers as they should be – shipping early 2022
I’m still reluctant on using appliances based on a niche OS like illuminos.

It takes a huge amount of manpower to maintain a kernel, and this effort is not shared much.

I guess that zfs is the selling point here, but still...

fredros··on Why Lichess will always be free
They should switch license to sspl or bsl!
